I tweeted that earlier. I find it a bit odd though that anyone puts anything of value on Twitpic. They explicitly state that whilst you remain the copyright holder of the image you give complete usage rights to the operators of Twitpic. This does not excuse the Fail for claiming that anything on Twitpic is public domain. The twats.

I thought that you had to give any image hosting site rights to use the image,
or else you'd be able to sue them for hosting it in the first place. Or something.
Twitpic are a bit naughty as in they claim full commercial usage rights. It's a bit dodgy. Even so, It's not public domain and the Mail had no right to use it.

I reckon your assessment is correct as far as it goes...
but there are many ways to persuade a publication to change its 'policies'. For instance, the Mail has online message boards...

You're right.
Still, if they received thousands of complaints every single day that's going to get old very quickly. I really do think there are ways to bring pressure to bear in these situations. We're all kind of feeling our way forward... lots of people on here have had stuff used without permission and have even had their pics 'copyrighted' by some organizations, and we've had to find ways to respond which encourage better behaviour from the biggest offenders. A threat of legal action against Murdoch or whatever is a joke, but there are other ways to bring pressure to bear and we need to keep trying, otherwise everything posted online will be fair game for those worthless cunts to steal and profit from. Hell, most of us aren't even pushing for payment, just fair attribution.

It wouldn't be so bad
were it not for the fact the Murdoch has 'decided' that people need to start paying to get their news online. Fine, that's up to the consumer, but if they're paying someone to see stuff I've made then I want some fucking credit at the very least, and I'm by no means alone in that. It's still kind of frontier territory on the web, there's still a lot of lines to be drawn, which is why I think this situation might be open to influence, and why I definitely think it's worth being stubborn and awkward about it.

They gave me an account on a cluster machine. Told me to modify input files and run code.

Wouldn't biscuit = raw_input("What sort of biscuit did you buy?") have to come before the if/elif?
Otherwise, your biscuit is always "x" until after the conditionals, which I can only assume is some kind of experimental Jammy Dodger/Rich Tea hybrid...

Ah, sort of.
I forgot to add the menu options bit. That way the bicuit = "x" triggers the menu to print. Not only that, once in the loop, biscuit is then a local variable and the value of the global biscuit can be ignored if replaced by the raw input.

average lodge subs here are £100 annually, and a regular min. monthly donation of around £5 via DD or equivalent.

where on earth did you get the idea that Jim Davidson was any kind of 'grand poobah'
he really hasn't been any sort of poobah, grand or not. Maybe master of his own lodge one year, but he's certainly not any national grand rank, and he subsequently resigned from his masonic lodge after upsetting many others with his routine.

For a later issue: "Jim Davidson’s masonic interests are now extensive. Apart from the Chelsea Lodge, he is the Immediate Past Master of the City of Westminster Lodge, founding Master of the British Forces Foundation Lodge, soon to become a Preceptor in Knights Templar and is a member of other Orders including, the Red Cross of Constantine and the Royal Order of Scotland."

'they're' ashamed.. etc etc. which 'they' would that be?
would that be me, as a mason? he may be a (and I don't like the guy myself) xenophobic bigot, but you seem to be assuming he was allowed to be a mason because he was xenophobic and bigoted, which really is quite ridiculous. he was on the cover in 1999, he resigned in 2002, and even if he is a member of the various side degrees etc. so what? He was pulled up by Grand Lodge for his off-colour routine in due process, he resigned. Just because you don't like Davidson, (as I don't) don't assume that one facet of his life (masonry) is representative of all masons and their beliefs
