You should patent it immediately, it's unique.

Not at all, there's millions of them.

If you say so.
but given what is going on with Linux in China at the moment I'm less than convinced.

Grumpy, that means you are not being blocked by Virgin I wouldn't have thought. I use Virgin fibre and I'm not being blocked. It may be the browser you are using throwing up a message.

Off topic I know but what's going on in China Bluebottle? I use Linux extensively too. It's amazingly bomb proof with 'no known' viruses that can attack it in the wild. It's immune to all Windows virus/malware, and Mac stuff too. We use it at work and it's proven itself 100% secure so far and very reliable on our networks...and yes I know nothing is 100% secure. Just a figure of speech! It's way way better than MS or Mac stuff regarding security though and very functional and compatibility is fine for mostly everything these days.

They should not call it sport unless they make it feel more sporty, as in quicker power delivery and change the suspension set up.

Sorry for zooming off topic chaps, I'll try and keep it short

While Linux is inherently safer, it also had the advantage that naughty geeks were brought up on windows which was ubiquitous and lucrative as a target.
China and other countries are trying to migrate entirely their government, education, home and business to Linux. A new generation has never used windows and is now hunting in a Linux rich local environment so they have an incentive to seek out and exploit the vulnerabilities of Linux systems.

Same thing happened with macs, they were once rare, not taught outside industry and didn't contain anything kids were interested in. Once they became common and widely taught they became a target.

There are known viruses/threats out there but they are known and now neutralised. The trouble on any OS its only the unknown ones that are a problem

Yeah, one page is nowhere near enough.

Does anyone else just not like bananas?
I don't like them at all but don't mind the dried banana in Lidl's luxury muesli.

I dunno - it now won't let me in at all! It says at the top 'Page Blocked by Virgin Media Security'
Then a big Red exclamation mark followed by 'Dangerous Page' Then 'This website can transmit malicious software or has been involved in online scams or fraud'
