When it comes to military procurement, Israel spends £9 billion a year and administers its purchases with 400 people. Britain spends £10 billion annually on procurement and has a staff of 23,700 to do it.
Hos is Intel's absorption of Wind River Systems going? Could be a nice bunfight? What changes has the Beast from Redmond made to its licence conditions? It used to be the case that they could prosecute you for attempting to use windoze for safety related applications.
Good point about governance. When does IT governance become corporate governance? The "system" at Abbey (Santander) has been down for days. At what point does this poor level of IT become of interest to the FSA?
Yes, you need a full alpha keyboard like a blackberry. The blackberry user interface works - not great but infinitely better than windows mobile.
However, for a small business using POP3, the problem needs looking at end to end.
a) you need an ISP that diverts suspected spam, not just labels it; very galling to pay for spam.
b) you need a mobile phone operator that can connect your POP3 account to the device - t-mobile couldn't do that for me.
c) you do need customer service from the phone operator, which in my experience rules out Orange.
d) windows mobile only synch's properly with exchange (EU please note), so you have to pay phone rates for POP3 emails, even if you have already received them on a desktop.
e) lightweight laptop with wi-fi may be a better solution for many, perhaps in conjunction with a U3 smart USB drive. GPRS card as an expensive alternative for when it is really necessary.

Chinooks on deck probably
I'd be surprised if you could get Chinooks in the hangar. V-22's might be handy.
Too many cooks

NFR90 coming on nicely then
Once the cold war is over we might need a different type of ship of course.
Bunfight with Intel? Invitation to be sued?

Transtec alternative
http://www.transtec.co.uk/GB/E/products/personal_computer/pc/mini_pc.html might be a better option?
Is this more than opera does already?
Wow.
Next they'll be launching a mobile browser. Oh, .... now I know where Mozilla gets its development plans from.
Evidence of portability
All very well, but where is the visual evidence you can use it on the beach in a bikini? Asus definitely have the advantage there.
Paris, because that is what she wants to know too.
Tiddlywiki as alternative to mediawiki
Do have a look at Tiddlywiki before getting too committed to mediawiki.
Loved the article. "Wake up and smell the elephant in the room" is a classic.
Paris looking sad hearing about a tiddler.

Killing robots is wrong.
Paris wouldn't do it.
How did you get them in the UK?
I presume you needed to get them shipped to a US address? Not seen any signs of delivery straight to the UK yet.
Yes, a lot of point-missing going on above; a sensible test would be a bunch of children working together e.g. on a squeak project.
A serious review of its innovative approach to security would be of interest.
Another one for the list - Smartdraw
Smartdraw used to be lovely till they brought out Smartdraw 2007; ruined (much) 'better than visio at half the price'.
Did Hansen do the analysis?
http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=2536 is on NASA Evasion of Quality Control Procedures.
Yes, governance is key
Good point about governance. When does IT governance become corporate governance? The "system" at Abbey (Santander) has been down for days. At what point does this poor level of IT become of interest to the FSA?
Not just devices that need to be considered
