I'm a little confused reading the papers at the moment.
Apparently the BBC making errors in journalism is worse than people raping children.
It's all very strange.

When I first heard the Newsnight story, I had some guesses about who was supposedly involved, But McApline was not one of the names that sprang to mind - I can't honestly say that I can remember having heard of him before, and I lived through the horror of the Thatcher administration, having graduated 1n 1980.

yet when shown a picure he said that it wasnt him (nor was it the senior policeman he accused previously)
does make you think when the self confessed left wing biased BBC shows a program by a labour funded agency that points a finger at a high profile Tory
was it a case of bad journalism or was it something else?

The claim I'd seen was that he was previously shown a picture of a man and when he said "Yes, that's him" was told it was Lord McAlpine, so had been telling everyone it was McAlpine ever since.
McApline had been named by David Icke amongst others years ago, and was long rumoured to be the man involved, then a week before this Newsnight ran he was named in a different online publication, along with some other details.

seemingly he first accused a senior Police office who it turn out could not have been involved, then he claims he was show a picture that was identified as McAlpine, yet when recently shown pictures of Mcalpine now (and as he was then) he claims these were not of the man in the original picture, so in the last 30 years he never saw a piture of McAlpine?
If you read the orginial report the judge clear says that he had no doubt this guy was abused but he had no credibility as a whitness, yet the same claims were used to point the finger at an inocent man, the exact reason why slander and lible laws were introduced.
(and bear in mind the credibility of David Icke is somewhere beween nill and a cheap science fiction novel)

I believe it's probable he was shown a picture of another Lord McAlpine - Robert[^], rather than Alistair[^], so it's easy to understand his confusion.
I have no idea what either one looks like so I wouldn't know one from the other.

I believe that both have been cleared (it may have been a McAlpine but it seems it wasnt one of the lord's or even a close relative of them)

They seem to be mostly saying it was a deceased cousin (Jimmy) who live in North Wales, although the fella you suggest was responsible for a number of children's charities and homes for quite a long time.
Essentially people talk more once those they are accusing are dead because the libel laws protect the rich, the burden of proof is reversed in defamation cases, and you need a lot of money to defend yourself.

It's one big witch-hunt that is being orchestrated by the BBC's rivals. The fact that this stuff and the Jimmy Savile Stories are still considered News smacks of the rest of the media trying to keep the story live long after any other story would have naturally died.

Good point, and one I hadn't considered before. So basically we are all in the middle of one big bitch fight between the main media outlets.

Sadie lost her husband almost four years ago and still has not gotten out of her depression, mourning as if it were only yesterday. Her daughter constantly is calling her and urging her to get back into the world. Finally, Sadie says she'd go out, but didn't know anyone. Her daughter immediately replies, "Mama! I have someone for you to meet."
Well, it was an immediate hit. They took to one another and after dating for six weeks he asks her to join him for a weekend in the Catskills. And we know what that meant. Their first night there she undresses, as he does. There she stood, nude, except for a pair of black lacy panties. He in his birthday suit. Looking at her he asks, "Why the black panties?" She replies, "My breasts you can fondle, my body is yours to explore, but down there I am still in mourning."
He knows he's not getting lucky that night. The following night the same scenario. She standing there with the black panties on and he in his birthday suit; except that he has an erection on which he has a black condom. She looks at him and asks, "What's with this ... a black condom?" He replies, "I want to offer my condolences."

So I made a small powerpoint presentation with a few pictures and a music ( actually it was not me, but I'll cut the story short). In office 2003, inserting an audio object is the simplest thing ever, you can adjust the volume with a slider, settings are available via contact menu by clicking on the small "sound" icon that is inserted in the presentation.
Now the presentation has to run on a laptop with office 2010.
First, the 2003 ppt file is not compatible: some of the music does not play when I run it.
Fine enough, I delete the old inserted sound and replace it with a new sound object. It does not run: OK, 2010 is not able to play mp3 on more than one slide. OK, I convert my mp3 into wav and retry. Works. Good. At full volume. Bad. So I double click on the sound icon to get to the settings in the freaking ribbon. No volume. No audio settings. Context menu ? It opens the menu for resizing the icon. WTF ? The icon is only a placeholder !
After some googling, I find out that a special menu opens in the freaking ribbon for Audio settings. Great. Change the volume ? No slider anymore. Just "High", "Middle" or "Low". WTF ? Are people now too dumb to use a slider ? And what if I want to set the volume between "Low" and "Middle" ???
It went on with a zillion other things like that until I finally used another program to show the presentation.
I f***ing hate this f***ing ribbon. I hate this Fisher Price 2010 UI.
And above all, I hate the microsoft designers who want everything to be usable by the mass by "simplifying" up to a level where it is close to useless.

Sorry, but my Powerpoint can play MP3 tracks without any problem. Though it doesn't have slider in ribbon, it is available with the control itself. When I click the icon, it shows the track and sound control. You can adjust starting position of track and volume level with slider. Do I have an extraordinary installation of MS-PP2010? No, I don't.
I didn't try playing track across the slides though.

Mine too. But not on more than one slide.

?? When I click on the icon, it shows absolutely nothing, but that the icon is slected.

No, you have the same POS installed than me.

Forget the Fisher Price UI, just remember that Powerpoint is powerless and pointless.
