Nuclear Power. No thanks!

I'm getting really worried that the government is seriously thinking about nuclear power. They are even suggesting that to get rid of nuclear waste, they bribe communities to bury the waste under their houses. The waste will only be safe after more than 100 years. The government is so thoughtful. They only think of the immediate future: the next election. Who cares about the next generation?
We could be taking a central role in the development of clean, renewable sources of energy and lead other countries by example but Tony Bliar prefers to follow the gringo way, i.e. lets pollute the planet so that the next generation can't survive on it.

Switching to Gizmo: Is it worth it!

I thought I might use Gizmo instead of Skype because it uses SIP which is open source enabling communication with other SIP software such as X-Lite Softphone, it works fine and even looks very much like Skype. With Skype, you can only Skype-to-Skype whereas with Gizmo, you can Gizmo-to-XLite or Gizmo-to-IM. I think that by hidding the portocol that Skype uses for VOIP, it is stopping the expansion of VOIP and monopolising a market in which it has a strong-hold. Other software like Gizmo use an open source protocol and work just as well as Skype.
I am considering changing so have compiled price comparisons for Skype, VOIPcheap and Gizmo for countries I call on a regular basis.

your billing address is in the EU, you will be charged 15% VAT when you buy Skype Credit.
However, the calls will be shown on your call list and your account will be credited exclusive of VAT.
At the moment it is not really worth me changing completely, but I will use Gizmo when phoning Mexico city mobiles. That is the advantage of VOIP software, is that you can so easily switch from one company to another for calling different countries.
