I think if Sealand attempted to build a military force the UK would treat it no different than if someone built their own military on the UK mainland. The same is likely to apply to crime committed aboard sealand, try growing drugs on it. I expect the UK police would raid it like any other property within the UK.
I don't think Sealand is as well protected as people think. It's just that they're minding their own business so nobody cares.
I have two RFID credit cards and an RFID transit card in my wallet. Before the old credit cards were replaced with the newer RFID ones I used to be able to swipe my wallet across the reader for the train without removing the transit card. Now with the addition of two more RFID cards I need to remove the transit card from my wallet or the read fails.
I'm sure more sophisticated readers may be capable of reading multiple cards at once. But as RFID becomes more prevalent the noise ratio is sure to increase as each wallet become filled with RFID cards.
In the UK many of the shopping centres charge parking fees. So you have to pay in-order to come and spend money.
I hate walking around warehouses (whether a store or an actual warehouse) trying to find what I'm looking for. Ordering online is cheaper, and easier, even when paying postage from overseas.
on topic: I'll be happy to see those services (that are centrally controlled and owned by ONE COMPANY (each) fail due to people not wanting to deal with censorship. I really miss the old days where the USENET model was popular. you know, not one single company owning it, not one single place to spy on people, not one single place to filter what the people want to say and see and hear. then, web-based this and that came into playing and websites are owned by single entities, not 'the people'. that was the start of the end of net.freedom.
I totally agree, the USENET style model is better.
It's interesting/annoying how many people insist on using Facebook rather than Email. Despite the fact that Facebook is so limited and controlled by only one company. Something I find concerning is how many groups set themselves up only on Facebook in place of hosting their own website, Facebook seems to be replacing the website for allot of people.
When members of the Ku Klux Klan turned up to lynch blacks they were anonymous too.
When hundreds of thousands of people showed up to hear Malcolm X or Martin Luther King, Jr. speak, was there some federal body requiring that everyone sign their name at the gate? Using facial recognition software to try to identify every single attendee?
How exactly were the audience in anyway anonymous? They're right there in the crowd if they act up they can be arrested by law enforcement. If anonymous want to be in the same boat as these people then they must identify themselves so that action can be taken against them. Otherwise they are noting more than criminals on the run.
I agree with those exceptions. Anonymity is an important tool in political speech.
However it is also an important tool for criminals to attack the innocent. That is exactly what anonymous do, there is nothing pro-democracy about these attacks far from it. Who are these self appointed judge, jury and executioners? We don't know because they hide like common criminals.

Firefox's constant updates drove me to Chromium.
Same, while I still like Firefox it's Chrome for the foreseeable future on my PCs.

If it's corporate IT then employee owned devices should be banned from the network.
He used to park in disabled parking bays.

DropBox is fine if you don't care about security.

How about;

platform.twitter.com
and google-analytics.com ?
If the mountain is above the helicopter's service ceiling... never.
Doesn't that defeat the purpose of twitter?
Why would anyone own a TV?
When you plug in a computer it becomes a monitor.

I purchased a show that I only knew about due to piracy. I was subsequently punished for doing "the right thing".
I got hit with the disc region coding bullshit;

Pretty sure there's a VCR in there somewhere.
The copyright industry continues to disappoint me. Where's this collapse I was promised?
MegaUpload seemed to do quite well and they paid for the content to be uploaded.
Oh fuck, the grammar Nazi's are closing in.
If they new anything about the internet they would be making money from piracy instead of making stupid demands.
Because clicking a mouse is so damn hard?
Yes, in the UK you could face jail time.

Me too -- we are asking the mafia to crack down on organized crime here.
Isn't that exactly what the Mafia do? Just not to their own syndicate.
So who died and made Google legislator, judge and executor on crimes against appropriate webpage content?
I have no doubt that you fail to spot the irony in your own post.
That's what you get for posting scientific fact in a third world country.
DropBox isn't really encrypted. They hold the keys themselves and can hand your data over to the authorities.
