The following Dodgers have been smited by the JDK for their crimes against Jam:
All the girls! for picking on the JDK and damaging his already delicate self esteem!
The Basserd Who Nicked Copper's Stuff For the offense of nicking Copper's stuff. You are a tw*t, whoever you are and we all hope you get run over by a tram in Nottingham. Or Liverpool. Or whereever else they have trams!
Copper For the crime of playing with her Wii instead of her Jammie pals!
I think I'll give Chrome a bit of time to bed in, since it's a complete unknown at the moment. I'm sure it'll be super though.
As for Internet Explorer 8, I noticed last night that my laptop came with an installer for the beta, so in a fit of madness, I clicked. Then I discovered that it was almost exactly the same as 7, except for some pretty coloured tabs! So far so good.

Its a good point. Intellectual property is a minefield. Its actually not possible to 'copyright' anything in the UK. Not in the sense of a patent for example. If I write a song and lyrics, I can call them copyrighted to me - but all I can do, if someone rips me off, is take my development material and recordings etc to court to prove I had created these before the other bugger released them.
When I owned my studio in Somerset, we had an intellectual property lawyer working for us because we dabbled in music distribution so I spent a lot of time talking to him about this stuff. It kinda sucks - there should be a place where you can lodge your content, they confirm time and date of lodgement and therefore you're protected.
Tricky one!
