Comment on Green search engine Ecosia doesn’t dig Google by James Evans

James Evans — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:31:31 +0000

Ecosia does not like Google because Google banned their websites from Google for fraud (Forestle was one of them).
Their energy numbers for Google are completely made up.
They also claim to be the greenest search engine by donating 80% of the money but they run Forestle which claims to donate 90% of the money (wouldn’t this be greener if it donates more money?).
They have a lot of other websites like Znout claiming to do all sorts of things for the environment. All German based green sites that I have found on the internet are created by the same guy and they all make the wildest claims regarding on how good they are and the others are evil.

I believe everyone in Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland stop paying their TV licence. We pay for a fair and unbias service; but this is clearly the EBC (English Broadcasting Corporation)!!!

Comment on Virgin Media reduces traffic management by Georges

Georges — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 14:05:41 +0000

True, it is not unlimited as it used to be and the traffic management data here (http://allyours.virginmedia.com/html/internet/traffic.html) means that I cannot have a proper use before 9 pm. meaning, no research, no online games etc… cause by 10 I am in bed. for the money it is not worth it. for example, on 10 MB i am (99% of the time, and I don’t download movie or songs or use any form of sharing)throttled back to 2.5 mb. I am paying 25 pounds for this?!!!

I am switching to sky or BT where even if I only get 2 mb it will still be cheaper.

pretty sure that 6Music is stated as costing 7 million a year, as opposed to 20.
