ALL-PRO SEXMAN posted:Oh, a Zodiac. Zodiac is a brand, they make both inflatable, and RIBs. RIB's are like "a normal boat, with a big inner tube around the top". There are pure inflatables, which is what you think of as a zodiac too.

Look like Evans also likes to wear the same thing day in day out (not just that yellow shirt in the studio): Monday:  Tuesday. Look out he changed his pants at least!:  Friday. It was a prank, he had the same dress pants under those jeans!

No one with an ounce of sense gives a flying gently caress how he dresses.

He's off the show so I've resumed giving no fucks flying or otherwise about him, his wardrobe or any of his other attributes and I imagine everyone who isn't subjected to his shithouse radio show on a regular basis has done so as well.

Certainly of all of Chris Evans' crimes committed, wearing a jacket and hat more than once a week is the most heinous.

Two things. First does anyone else feel like Hammond just finished playing a pirate in some play right before this picture was taken? And second someone should probably make a Grand Tour thread soon.

I thought even in the last few seasons of proper top gear that hammond was still replaceable. I'd love to have seen Clarkson/May/Harris.

What they're currently doing is coming out with nonsense about "detector vans" and monitoring wifi for data transfer that matches iPlayer. Perhaps with the assistance of Jonny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie?

You can use your mobile device where ever as long as the place you charge it up at has a TV license.

http://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one/topics/bbc-iplayer-and-the-tv-licencequote:If you already have a TV Licence for your address, you will be covered to download or watch iPlayer when you’re on the go, provided the device you’re using to watch or download programmes isn’t plugged into the electricity mains at a separate address. If the device is plugged in at a separate address, you will need to be covered by a licence at that address. Cars seem to be a bit of a grey area. This sure seems well thought out and not like a rushed idea at all

Perhaps with the assistance of Jonny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie? I've always been willing to believe that they do have at least one "TV detector" van because radar detector detectors are a real thing. Superheterodyne receivers are definitely unintentional emitters that can be detected from a distance and located with a sufficiently directional receiver. If they had the common tuners characterized well enough they might even be able to tell what channel you're watching. They likely don't have many, possibly no more than one, but the purpose is basically to show that you can in fact get caught which doesn't require more than one to be effective. This however is just silliness. If they had reason to believe a specific stream was going to a target location I guess they could possibly add random delays to the transmissions and correlate those with traffic quantities seen on the air, I mean basically that same technique has been used to deanonymize people on Tor, but that's getting really complicated and at the same time could only possibly catch users who were both on an otherwise unused WiFi connection and where they could identify the target's stream to modify. The person would have to already be under suspicion to a point where they had the IP address for the real-world address, it's not like they could just drive down the street and identify people streaming from iPlayer on the fly, and again anyone using a wired network connection to stream would be entirely immune.

I like to think it's all bullshit invented by the BBC back when the licencing first came out as a scare tactic with no real detecting ability. In reality the vans just have people with laser microphones pointing them through windows hoping to overhear a broadcast. Or see the TV glow.

Detector vans are utter bullshit, chances are most houses have a TV so they look at their database of addresses that are paying the license fee and then go wander round to the ones that aren't. Also lol that even if they DID work, that they could 'sniff out' packet data that's iplayer related. BBC just hasn't got the resources or skillset to get that kinda poo poo done. It's a loving excel spreadsheet.

Like "go straight to jail, don't pass go, don't collect £200" illegal.
