For now at least, that's the list of mirrors for the software - most still seem to be hosting it.

The UK did try using identity cards in the past; just before World War II. Unfortunately, some police officers used the inability to produce ID as an excuse for arresting people.

From: www.statewatch.org

Three main reasons were put forward by the government for passing the law in September 1939. The first was the major dislocation of the population caused by mobilisation and mass evacuation and also the wartime need for complete manpower control and planning in order to maximise the efficiency of the war economy. It may or may not have been necessary - that is a matter of dispute but it was seen as emergency, temporary legislation to cope with special circumstances.

The second main reason why the Act was passed was the likelihood of rationing. It was felt that the imminence of rationing (introduced from January 1940 onwards) entailed the need for an up-to-date system of standardised registration, so that rationing could be introduced as easily as possible.

The third main reason was that the Government needed recent statistics about the population. As the last census had been held in 1931 and the next was not due until 1941, there was little accurate data on which to base vital planning decisions. The National Register was in fact an instant census. Indeed, the National Registration Act bears a close resemblance to the 1920 Census Act in many respects.

Introducing the new law to Parliament, Health Minister Walter Elliot explained that the whole process of registration would be carried through in about three weeks and that it would form the basis for proper wartime planning.

In short, none of the three major reasons put forward for the 1939 Act could be put forward today as a reason for introducing identity cards. There is no emergency on a remotely comparable scale to that of war; there is no immediate prospect of wholesale rationing; and there is no shortage of detailed census and survey data. Equally it is worth noting that none of the reasons nowadays advanced in favour of the introduction of identity cards notably the need for control and identification of undesirables - was put forward in 1939. ...

It is unlikely that the identity card system would have been abandoned had it not been for the test case of Willcock v Muckle (1951,49 LGR 584). In this case a driver was stopped in connection with a motoring offence and asked to produce his card. On his refusal to do so, either then or subsequently,
lie was charged with an offence under Section 6(4). When the case reached appeal in the King's Bench Division, Lord Chief Justice Goddard delivered a ferocious attack upon police practice:

"Because the police have powers, it does not follow that they ought to exercise them on all occasions as a matter of routine. From what we have been told it is obvious that the police now, as a matter of routine, demand the production of a National Registration Card whenever they stop or interrogate a motorist for whatever cause ... This Act was passed for security purposes: it was never intended for the purposes for which it is now being used"

The case of Clarence Henry Willock is described at wikipedia.

On 7 December 1950, the 54 year old businessman was stopped while driving in London by a police officer who demanded that he present his Identity Card at a police station within 48 hours. He refused, was prosecuted and convicted.

Willcock appealed, in the case Willcock vs Muckle. Although he lost the appeal, the Lord Chief Justice Lord Goddard spoke out against the continued use of compulsory Identity Cards and commented that they "tend to make people resentful of the acts of the police".

Goddard's comments are thought to have influenced Winston Churchill's decision to scrap compulsory national Identity Cards in 1952.

There this neat little one-floppy-distro, Tinfoil Hat Linux (The site seems down @tm, so here's the Google Cache Version of it). Though it comes without networking support, due to its very paranoid approach to guarantee security. Beefed up with the things your mates need, they'd be virtually immune to (hardware) keyloggers - freeing their way to a on the box outside via ssh or something like that.

1) Use specific tritium charger only. Do not use a NiMH or NiCd charger - Failure to do so may a cause fire, which may result in personal injury and property damage, across a wide area. 2) Never charge batteries unattended. When charging H-3 batteries you should always remain in constant observation to monitor the charging process and react to potential problems that may occur, by running away, fast. 3) Some H-3 chargers on the market may have technical deficiencies that may cause it to charge the H-3 batteries incorrectly or at an improper rate. It is your responsibility solely to assure the charger you purchased works properly. Always monitor charging process to assure batteries are being charged properly. Failure to do so may result in meltdown. 4) If at any time you witness a battery starting to balloon or swell up, discontinue charging process immediately, disconnect the battery and observe it in a safe place, several miles away, for approximately 500 years. This may cause the battery to leak, and the reaction with air may cause the isotopes to chain-react, resulting in mushroom cloud. 5) Since delayed chain reaction can occur, it is best to observe the battery as a safety precaution. Battery observation should occur in a safe area outside of any building or vehicle and away from any fissile material. 6) Wire lead shorts can cause fire! If you accidentally short the wires, the battery must be placed in a safe area for observation for approximately 800 years. Additionally, if a short occurs and contact is made with metal (such as rings on your hand), severe injuries may occur due to the conductibility of electric current. 7) A battery can still fission even after 1000 years. 8) In the event of a crash, you must remove battery for observation and place in a safe open area away from any combustible material, and major cities, for approximately 5000 years. 9) If for any reason you need to cut the terminal wires, it will be necessary to cut each wire separately, ensuring the wires to not touch each other or a short may occur, potentially causing a chain-reaction. 10) To solder a connector: Remove insulating 8-inch lead shielding of Red wire and solder to positive terminal of a connector, then remove insulating 8-inch lead shielding of Black wire and solder to the negative terminal of connector. Be careful not to short the wire lead. If you accidentally cause the battery to short, place it in a safe open space and observe the battery for approximately 100,000 years. A battery may swell or even possibly induce fission after a geologically insignificant time. 11) Never store or charge battery pack inside your car in extreme temperatures, since extreme temperature could cause irreparable damage to you car, and blow away half the state.

Sherlock was a reduced version of the V-Twin search technology Apple Research spent many years working on. This was at least a decade ahead of Microsoft.

Unfortunately Apple Research and V-Twin were canned in a reshuffle and cost-cutting exercise.

My biggest PITA design flaw in software (just so I'm not completely offtopic) is the inability to remember previous user input, such as the directory you picked the last time you hit "File -> Open". I don't care when the last time was, just remember the directory I was in, dammit!

Yes, I wish The GIMP's file dialogue boxes were a bit less dumb, instead of always opening up at the same tiny size, and had a better implementation of Most Recently Used directories, like CoolEdit95 apparently did (scroll a third down the linked page), although I never used it myself, but other programs have this useful feature. Since GIMP is based on GTK, I suppose I should ask them, and continue to praise GIMP for being just cool everywhere else.

Is it really an Application Server and if so what services does it provide?
It is. Its services are called "products" one of them is plone - a framework built upon zope - providing everything you need for a Community website (Calendars, news, Member homepages, Picture Gallerys, Forums etc.)
I know this is more a Python thing but even mentioning an application server built in a scripting language will have me ridiculed out the door.
Stop laughing. This is running zope. Google Cache

Time to start backing up the internet.

No need to. The backup is on-line. here's the link. And here's another one. And two more. As you can see, the Internet is nicely backed up and the backup copies are avaiable on-line, so there is nothing to worry about. In two years when it's gone we'll just have to download the backup copy from one of the abovementioned links.

In the UK this designated area is known as "Speakers Corner" Marble Arch. Access from Marble Arch Tube station.

Seriously though, did you know that it has been illegal for ten years now for more than 100 people to gather in the open air without the advance consent of the police? This is thanks to the anti rave laws.

Was built on Cromwell (Linux Kernel), This is a full OS which they made and they are hyping like nothing else, apparently its going to let them do loads of cool stuff that would be very difficult with linux . And this made the front of Slashdot because it has a onboard OS (Oh X-Ecuter have one with 3.0 (just released), Smart-XX also do. and Xenium (the one which started it) used to have an Open Source OS (and have just moved to closed source)
