Is anyone else getting peculiarities on DS?
I think that something embedded on the front page was responsible for making IE fall over this afternoon. Perhaps it was a duff advert or something.
Anyone else noticed anything or am I having a Senior Moment or twenty two?

I've noticed the ad server had been all over the place in the last few days, whether it's ads going missing, Error 500's instead of ads or other things.

Digitalspy makes me smile. The Sky sub-forum is full of threads with names such as "$ky are REALLY pissing me off now" and stuff like that. It seems to be full of middle-aged moaners with a lack of basic people skills who, instead of sorting out a problem they have with their subscription directly with Sky, would rather log onto a forum to moan about it instead.
One of my current favourite moans on there is Sky having PIN-protected films during the day - as if putting in a PIN number is some huge effort. This therefore means that $ky are screwing everyone over (of course) - and obviously, the fact that the PIN-protection is something insisted upon by Ofcom has been nicely glossed over in the anti-Sky rants.
Honestly, this place is like a sanctuary sometimes.

Presumably Sky PIN-protect certain daytime films to enable them to show films rated 12A or above during the day. There are plenty of households without children, and maybe they would like to be able to see a 15 or 18 rated film duing the day. By putting in the PIN, they can watch the film. On the other hand, take a household with kids, if the parents have any sense and responsibility, they'd keep the PIN to themselves so they can watch such films if the kids aren't around (for whatever reason), but NOT let the kids know it, thereby stopping them accessing protected films.
Which would you rather have:
a) U and PG films only during the day (because children may be watching) - nothing rated 12A or above until after the watershed?
b) 12A + films during the day, accessible only by a PIN during the day.

Now go and explain that over at DS - they're the ones that (seemingly) can't grasp it.
