This sentence seems utterly disproportional. Surely a bit of community service or something would've been enough, instead of what it is going to cost us taxpayers to imprison him for a year.
According to a brief bit of research, it cost us taxpayers £140k to imprison a young offender for a year. Which is a bit more than the 30p that the Met and the lot that were hacked in Febs conference call fiasco seem to be spending on their own security.
Has anyone really applied all of Prince2 to anything? A former colleague of mine used to work at the OGC (who devised Prince2) - even they do not use it for their own internal projects.
Such window dressing is quite insulting. I wonder how many decades (or more) it will be before there are significant numbers of female politicians in China.
Where does liability rest with these transactions? I understood that several banks/ card issuers used the Verified by Visa registration to move liability from them to the customer, is this in the same boat?
Artistic direction and the narrative are less important to the grumbleflick market, so I guess 3D is here to stay and will drive future technologies anyway...
The behaviour reported in this article is entirely inevitable as the scanner staff are human, let alone when you consider how jobs in the CCTV monitoring field have always attracted the perverts. What's more surprising is that afaik these type of images haven't turned up on the web yet, there must be numerous specialist grumpleflick sites that would be interested in buying them.
cos they have spent a fortune buying the rights & the terminals etc & want to get some ROI?
On a separate note, the last time El Geg tested this contactless stuff it didn't actually deduct the payments from your balance- does that excellent feature still remain?
and don't forget that a load of people streaming Sky will further clog up the overburdened infrastructure and hence impact upon the places that at present are lucky enough to have these proper speeds and low contention
Are you sure about that? I thought Aviva built two new data centres in/near Norwich (one of which is utterly huge) which are run by EDS/HP for them, then moved out of their old twin data centres in Bowthorpe and sold that off to Sentry42 who have now refurbed that site. I would gladly be corrected though.
I gather Rackspace had an outage yesterday too- wonder if there is any connection? Maybe some key hardware component had a failed firmware update or something.
well at least you get warning lights... VW's LT35 2.8 van has a not-uncommon problem where it will cut out for no reason, then is fine when you switch it off and on again (sounds familiar...), which doesn't sound so bad unless you happen to be driving it when it cuts out. AFAIK VW have washed their hands of this as there's no fault codes that show up.
I should think the IT suppliers are very happy indeed, what with any blame going to the former government and most stuff only having to work for a fortnight anyway. And lets not forget the huge cheques they will be receiving.
"Lots of weather and lightning research rockets make 100,000 foot on staged solid fuel engines WITHOUT a balloon."
Simples... get one of those, add Playmonaut, and balloon launch it from 100,000 ft. It might take a few extra balloons but hey... the photos from 200,000 ft would be worth it
One frankly disappointing aspect of the suggestions seems to be the focus on health and safety above all. Daleks et al were not known for being slow underpowered things that have to return to the charging dock frequently, ok so they did take out a few fleshies too but hey. Let’s consider some user requirements that would make the design transferable to a wide number of readers – such as ability to cope with longer grass, slopes, uneven lawns, molehills, fallen leaves, no outdoor electricity supply, and how about a cost ceiling too?
This reminds me of problems with stability control systems & how serious faults within those are yet there is no datalogging built in. It amazes me that the manufacturers got that past the regulators.
Other than the McLaren ( which will probably be stored away) which of these cars is most likely to still be on the road in 10, 20 or 30 years time & hence can really claim the sustainability crown?
As well as the class action approaches to resolving this, it would be good if someone could create an app that would send a load of nonsense data back to this rootkit’s servers. A bit of misinformation can come in handy sometimes in focussing minds.
Interesting stuff indeed. Has anyone tried any of the normal (bayonet) fitting 240v LED light bulbs that are appearing? I saw a 5w one in use last week & it was equivalent to a 40w incandescent bulb imho, I'd be interested to hear how good the brighter ones are in particular.
Anyoen else using duckduckgo ? It's growing on me, particularly as it seems to return less shopping type stuff than google. Never could see the point of Bing.
Give it a couple of years & they’ll have got into can bus hacks and will be getting it to shout back at you.
Beats me why manufacturers think we all want this sort of stuff in our cars. I’d like to buy one that’s more sustainable instead. I don’t demolish my house every 10 years and have a new one built, likewise I’d like my car to be something that I can similarly live with for a long time and upgrade and personalise too.
The performance and reliability of our virtual desktops has singlehandedly destroyed all confidence our users have in the IT dept. and the good relationships with them.
The costs of engineer support and dual licencing (we’ve had to go for local copies too) must have wiped out the efficiencies too.
They announced this the day after I bought a sony Ericsson phone (Elm) off of ebay , cheap natch but not bad at all. Presumably this was somehow the straw that broke the camel's back.
Meanwhile, Is it really possible that they provided it with an application called “tracker” so you can log your times and routes for outdoors sports activities, as well as compare to previous times, include lap functions etc, then they made it impossible to lock the keypad while this app is running? I hope I'm missing something obvious....
Another car electronics problem. Having looked recently, it is so hard to find a decent yet simple car nowdays; indeed I gave up. I wonder which manufacturer will be the first to realise that there is a market for good quality cars that are not equipped with a pile of such features.

This isn't unlike the approach where you pay your Prime Minister £250k for him to hear your views over a meal. And is about as desirable.
The team's lack of beards & pipes is a tad disappointing.
Re: No worries
Fair point. And of course it will be provided at quite remarkable expense via consultancies which are run by old school chums of our dear PM.
What's the betting that ISPs will have to pay for the equipment but will only be allowed to use certain "secure" providers...
Is Linkedin still going, what have I missed? I haven't been on there for ages.
Reminds me I got some spam the other day about Myspace.
Re: Unreliable statistics
I notice one of the graphics is about "question 64", and was wondering what kind of people fill in 64+ question surveys. Seems likes it is prudes.
41mp
Would anyone else be fascinated to read a detailed article about just how they make a 41mp sensor?

Re: KInd of makes all those job adverts....

Re: Glass ceiling needed.
Great!
Such window dressing is quite insulting. I wonder how many decades (or more) it will be before there are significant numbers of female politicians in China.
Liability
Where does liability rest with these transactions? I understood that several banks/ card issuers used the Verified by Visa registration to move liability from them to the customer, is this in the same boat?
Not only that, but did anyone else take quite a while searching the first pictures for the playmobil characters?
Re: Just what sort of party is this room intended for?
more likely the sort of party frequented by moustachioed Germans and their schone co-stars
Re: 3D. Give up. Please.
Artistic direction and the narrative are less important to the grumbleflick market, so I guess 3D is here to stay and will drive future technologies anyway...
Interference
Another intersting angle on 4G tech & interference here:

Security?
It looks like sync's security has already been cracked...
http://www.electronista.com/articles/11/07/28/car.systems.such.as.onstar.sync.more.hacked/
Has anyone found a copy of that presentation anywhere?

Re: Candle in the Wii?
In salute to you sir, I have raised a foil balloon picturing Princess Diana above my desk
This rather leaves the door open for China (or even India) to do a sample-return Mars mission & grab the global limelight
It is kinda tempting, I just wish it had an optical viewfinder.
Also, is there a lens cover built in?
maybe
cos they have spent a fortune buying the rights & the terminals etc & want to get some ROI?

Cashing in
So it's £35k here before subsidy. The US pre-subsidy price is $40k, or £26k. What do we get for the extra £9k, or are GM just cashing in?
Instead of walking in circles, Is there a was to spoof such data?
well at least you get warning lights... VW's LT35 2.8 van has a not-uncommon problem where it will cut out for no reason, then is fine when you switch it off and on again (sounds familiar...), which doesn't sound so bad unless you happen to be driving it when it cuts out.

Yes that would be interesting to know. Perhaps the fuel froze, which was in turn caused by a failed or non-existent heating device?

Presumably, so long as you draw a face on them.

Well, Lester & co were never absolutely sure of PARIS's flight path after release from the balloon...
Other than the McLaren ( which will probably be stored away) which of these cars is most likely to still be on the road in 10, 20 or 30 years time & hence can really claim the sustainability crown?
error
There's an error - it says "Yes it's cheaper" . It isn't.
Presumably the ISS will need a permanent female presence to operate this too.
Just curious... what country is this?
Also, what's the local beer like?
As well as the class action approaches to resolving this, it would be good if someone could create an app that would send a load of nonsense data back to this rootkit’s servers. A bit of misinformation can come in handy sometimes in focussing minds.
LED bulbs
Interesting stuff indeed. Has anyone tried any of the normal (bayonet) fitting 240v LED light bulbs that are appearing? I saw a 5w one in use last week & it was equivalent to a 40w incandescent bulb imho, I'd be interested to hear how good the brighter ones are in particular.

Other than that, I guess it's ok.
But surely you can see how it is all designed for ceremonial use
Also assuming
That they are even alien species. A distant colony of badgers for instance...
Now where's my Sunday Sport?
My fault...

Maybe if all bosses have one of these each then they may even start to talk to each other at last...
