Thanks for the kind words guys.
Jeez, only read this now (had it opened a while).
Eh, it's nice to see you again Stephen, but I wish for you it was under better circumstances.
It probably sounds a bit lame, but I really hope things work out okay (things can always work out okay - sometimes you've got to add an eventually to that though...)-tomos (November 22, 2012, 03:42 PM)
Everything's on the mend now (It seems) So yeah, lifes looking better!^ yeah, but I didn't think you were serious either
I can see (and understand) that you see this as a success,
but I'm a bit disillusioned that this got moved.-tomos (September 19, 2012, 05:14 AM)

Before now every one of the credit-card sized machines have rolled off production lines in Chinese factories.
The UK-made Raspberry Pis will be assembled at Sony UK Technology's factory in Pencoed, South Wales. About 30 jobs will be created as a result of the deal which will mean most of the Pis being distributed by Premier Farnell will be made in Britain.
You can see the appeal. Imagine you have a restaurant, and in these tough times you need every customer you can get - so why not try to steal your rivals' customers? Why not pay a few friends to go to your rival's restaurant, booking via one of the restaurant booking sites, and then leave a damning online review for other would-be diners?
It wouldn't cost much, and if it persuades even a couple of people to go to your restaurant rather than theirs then it's been a good investment.
A new software algorithm was announced last week at the World Wide Web 2012 conference in Lyon, France. It tries to detect groups of spammers working together to influence products.
Opinion spamming is quite common. Have a look at any successful web sites with multiple reviews on the site. Some reviewers try to game the system by promoting or demoting target products. Groups of reviewers can work collaboratively to write fake reviews and can often take total control of the sentiment of the site.

Reminds me of those Scottish postcards that say there's a great view from here, when you can see the view... Yet you live south of the border!-rjbull (August 27, 2012, 02:08 PM)
