Database containing 1.8m UK postcode locations leaks online • The Register
probably worth grabbing a copy whilst its out and about 20Meg download, you need a compression tool capable of bz2 |

I deleted it, then had to clean out the registry, over 200 useless entries had been added Retlaw |
Re: UK postcodes full version available here
eh? its a database, it contains just numbers, nothing in the link from the register installs anything........
or was it the bz2 tool you downloaded that added all the rubbish ( Linux can deal with bz2 by default) what makes this data useful is that you can use it within other programs to work out distances etc. |
Re: UK postcodes full version available here
downloading it - should be useful for Freegle group owners so we can check new members... errr... how do you open it & use it?

Re: UK postcodes full version available here
decompress it using anything that supports bz2 compression
its a basic text file with data listed as per teh colum headers on line one. You could import it into a spreadsheet ( Excel/Openoffice Calc etc) or into a Database program ( Access, OpenOffice Base, MySQL, Oracle, Cloudbase etc From there its up to you how you use it depending on what you want it for. Information is only valuable if you have a use for it |

I was given to believe that accyweb was above such thing's indeed there have been many posts from members of the 'Software' fraternity stating how not only is it illegal to download, (pirate), software, chip playstations, x boxes etc, etc, but state that such action is not only 'stealing' but that it actually takes money from the 'Software Engineers' and their families, what a shame that we get such a terrible example from someone that should know better, to quote from a mildly illegal software thread example, Quote:

Re: UK postcodes full version available here
Its only theft if someone is being stolen from.
If you can identify that this is in fact stolen property then please show it otherwise please stop the hyperbole about it being theft until you have some proof that it is so. Just because something is online for download does not make it copyright protected or stolen data. It could quite legitimately be placed online. IN fact, I paid for this database so I should be able to use it. Back to the original subject, so is anyone using it for owt? |

No doubt if I was incorrect the original poster would have been back on protesting in strong terms as to how I have done him wrong, knowing how good he is at gleaning information from the WWW he would show us how this was freeware or at least a legitamate gift from the original source and not something ripped off, if he does do that then I will apologise, (I actually have a large amount of respect for him), otherwise don't defend the indefensible.
