UK Government Wants a Backdoor Into Windows
REBloomfield writes "The BBC is reporting that the British Government is working with Microsoft in order to gain backdoor access to hard drives encrypted by the forthcoming Windows Vista file system. Professor Anderson, professor of security engineering at Cambridge University, urged the Government to contact Microsoft over fears that evidence could be lost by suspects claiming to have forgotten their encryption key."
UK porn comes to mind... those filthy Brits...

For the love of god, someone get these politicians a hobby. They have far too much time and money at their disposal.
I'd like to see Blair, Bush & Bin Laden settle this over a good old game of marbles and leave us out of it.
Who the hell are these twirps? Never met them, never heard a SINGLE intelligent thing come out of any of their mouths and day after day they affect my life. They sit there in these strange black outfits with these weird nooses around their necks arguing about things which are obviously issues of semantics, breaking every rule of intelligent debate & rationalisation and prompting the media beast to artificially inflate these "issues" so that the bored apathetic masses get up in arms and keep them voted in.
We're throwing away our freedoms so the media can make you pay for & drink sugar water.
The extreme views speak in loud, inflamatory soundbytes that serve to sell advertising to gullible viewers: "X is EVIL" "ALL Y DESERVE TO DIE" while the moderate, intelligent, rational view is obscured and diffused by its truthful verbosity and its inherent "unmarketability"
Sometimes I just bang my head against the wall at the complete insanity of it all.
