Steve: I think even my own mother who got the Telegraph that much she pays for them yearly doesn't bother much these days
David: Is that off Yes Minister? I vaguely remember it (a touch before my time)

Am I the only one who thinks newspapers are a waste of resources in the modern world.The government tell us all to use less fuel and natural
resources yet in the modern day when most people have internet and TV access we still waste resources on printing, distributing and disposing of news
papers that are mostly publishing gossip and scandal about celebs etc. that most people couldn't care less about.

I had a cynical thought while out this morning...
Suppose someone (government, civil service, rival business) didn't want Rupert Murdoch to take over BSkyB, but couldn't find any legal
reason to block it.
What better way to throw a spanner in the works than to leak damaging info about one of his flagship newspapers? Then keep kicking the hornets'
nest until his News Corporation is so discredited that Ofcom decide that they are not fit to take over Sky?
BSkyB's shares have already dropped, as the stock market have decided that the takeover is doubtful.

Actually that's a good point, but I'd like to think if that was happening and all concerned were doing nothing wrong with phones then it
would come out in court

Hardly proper hacking anyway is it? You phone someone's voice-mail and try their default password!
I'm amazed it's even illegal!
its a bit like when wi-fi was new, and you could get into someone elses internet as it was an unsecured one, going into their router settings and
putting a password on it... can't do that so much any more, but there IS a new unsecured network appearing near my house.... wonder who's
it is
when wireless networks were a fairly new thing, and I was in IT, I would go war driving, log in to every unsecured router I found, and usually with
the default password accessed the admin panel and changed the network name to something like "I forgot to secure my network" and then
changed the admin password. easy to fix but 2 years later many were still unchanged.
Mind you I was working on wireless networks before the average million dollar business could afford them (forget the public).
