A while ago (admittedly 4 years) I worked on the ATM side of an EMV chip and pin implementation. Yes the chip can lie to the terminal and yes the terminal can lie to the bank. But all results of a transaction from the card/chip result in the generation of a small cryptographic token generated using the cards view of how the transaction went. The information included in the generation of this is variable but should at least include things like whether the card thought PIN verification was sucessful or not, the transaction amount and whether the card thought the transaction was succesful or not.
This is normally printed on the receipt and either sent online to the bank or uploaded later in a batch transfer. If the system has been implemented sensibly it shouldn't be difficult to prove that this has happened. For an online transaction I don't really see how it can happen at all in a well implemented system.
For any large project read this Black swan theory. Something completely unexpected will probably ruin your plan, as others have said it's more about knowing what to chop to hit a date.
Also for any large project the cumulative effect of errors in estimating soon add up to make the plan almost irrelevant.
The British regulator in charge of air travel is not Ofcom. Ofcom regulates communications.
All they have said that they would have no objection to cells in airplanes.
I find it very hard to accept that anybody "acted" in a country where they were not physically present at the time. Not even in a physical case of say a missile. Absolutely ridiculous. Even worse is the fact that the one way extradition arrangement was put in to fight terrorism not a stoned guy breaking security so weak it makes the rest of the world laugh.
For citizens of the UK there is a petition to scrap the extradition arrangement used: http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Extradition/
The US never ratified it because it was "unconstitutional". Well they got that right, why we ratified it is a complete mystery. Hey Tony can you bend over any further... well actually George maybe I can.

wooosh
Wasn't Linus Torvalds from Finland? Doesn't that mean Europe can at least claim some responsibility for the Linux kernel?

The most scary thing seems to be the privacy concerns.
How is the PowerGlove related to head tracking?
I thought it was just me. I have to turn off my Wii to get the computer in the spare room to connect.
No really you didn't.
