"herefore there are lots of credit card transactions going on in the sale of the stuff. Therefore force the credit card companies to police those transactions and stop them happening - if they don't, name and shame them in the public media."
They do, they are, and this is the police's main weapon in fighting it, the credit card companies are very cooperative....
Switzerland... has a manual voting system, holds elections at very short notice and announces the complete result usually within 5 hours of the polls closing
The VW Bluemotion outperforms the Prius.... it has a conventional engine, but it just loses all the weight possible, has a very efficient engine and is designed to be aerodynamic, and so it uses less fuel, and produces less CO2 than a hybrid....
The people who like them, are the people who have to deploy them.... installing an app on 200 workstations is difficult at best... sending an email to 200 users with a URL in is much easier, when you know they all have the same browser with the same settings
Often the people who deploy them are the same people who buy (or recommend to buy) them...
Is it just me or do the i5 750 and the Phenom II x4 965 seem to have very similar benchmark figures, and appear to be roughly the same price....
I think the original question asked applies here, there appears to be a vast variety of confusingly named processors from both AMD and Intel that they do not seem to want people to compare (even with processors from the same manufacturer)
Public key encryption, that would be the crypto system invented at GCHQ in the UK by public servants.... but not published and then re-invented (independently) by RSA 6-7 years later...
If someone tried to break into my house then (I hope) my neighbours would notice, most burglars are not sophisticated...... anyone could easily clone a key and just walk in, but strangely most burglaries are still forced entry....because it is simpler
1) RFID is insecure 2) Universal keys are insecure 3) broadcast keys are insecure 4) You have not been to Alaska, Russia, Finland, etc.. hungry wild bears do roam the streets....
So the computer game manufacturer cannot, make a machine that can only be sold wholesale (Games arcades), or force me to be connected to their server all the time to enable the game to play, or force me to download a copy each time?
Instead they allow me to download a copy, which I could copy from elsewhere, and I have to pay them for the priviledge of playing legally, this would be considered demanding money with menaces if it were not government sanctioned
What is the difference between a legal copy of software and a "pirate" copy, nothing...
...do not matter because they have no hope of being elected, and even if they get MP's they will not get enough to have any noticeable influence of the party of government...
However if enough people vote for them then whoever gets in will at least be aware they are issue people care about
Which of the above do I vote for to inspire faith in parliament, and not vote in people who want strong copyright laws for their friends in the media industry?
That would be Lord Mandelson... not an MP, not elected, not prime minister.. and so cannot single handedly do anything without the consent of his colleagues...
By the same logic that mime artist who performs on the high street has a right to be paid by everyone who sees his act.......You have two options
hire a venue, charge people to watch your act, and hope they come...
perform in public, and hope they pay...
Published works should be the same : give me something physical and hope I am willing to pay for it, or give it away and ask for payment if they like it...
The current copyright system works on the principle of selling something that people are forced to pay for when they don't need to...

So where would Shatner himself go ?
ORPHEUS - Music
CREATIA - Creative
TRITON - Production
ZARA - Actors
Or sign up for 4 separate accounts to cover all of these?
Err here ..."http://www.nitcentral.com/"
... and Saddam had a 100% turnout ....

Encrypted traffic :
All VPN's
All Secure transactions
Proxies, which are almost universally used by businesses as a security measure
Well that's all business off the internet - do you want an economy?
P2P Traffic - Well that's BBC iPlayer and similar streaming services, many game updates etc ...
Almost everything that has been used for nefarious or illegal purposes was originally developed and is still widely used for legitimate reasons ...
While you are at it you had better stop people using envelopes in the mail, and monitor all phone calls ?
*Attempted* Censorship will exist as long as either
1.) There are governments with secrets to hide
2.) ZOMG SAVE TEH CHILDREN
Switzerland ... has a manual voting system, holds elections at very short notice and announces the complete result usually within 5 hours of the polls closing
Why do we need electronic voting again?
The old fashioned manual voting and manual or semi manual voting system have had many attempts at subverting them and all are now protected against
You cannot swing an election (unless it is a very narrow margin) when a properly run manual count election is in place
With electronic voting of any kind it is not as transparent as it could be and it is possible to influence the outcome
The VW Bluemotion outperforms the Prius .... it has a conventional engine, but it just loses all the weight possible, has a very efficient engine and is designed to be aerodynamic, and so it uses less fuel, and produces less CO2 than a hybrid ....
I suspect they are "cheating" in the same way ....
So instead of worrying about backups, storage, access, versioning .... I just have to trust Google and have a web connection ....
Now try and explain this to the Salesman who has no web connection and need his documents, or why you cannot retrieve the ones he accidently deleted
With no need to access the local network, just the cloud there is no need for a VPN
If you are just sending HTML/AJAX then the client does most of the work, and the traffic is relatively small
with an app and Remote access, the traffic is large ... (without remote access it would be smaller than the Web app)
A properly written app can outperform a webapp in all respects .... but few are written properly...
Developers don't care about deployment .... trust me they really don't
Network Admins do and they are the ones who recommend which apps to buy, and the ones who phone up the developers when they are hard to deploy...
The people who like them, are the people who have to deploy them .... installing an app on 200 workstations is difficult at best ... sending an email to 200 users with a URL in is much easier, when you know they all have the same browser with the same settings
Often the people who deploy them are the same people who buy (or recommend to buy) them ...
If you are saying that a large spreadsheet can do anything that a database cannot do better....?
You don't know databases .... ...you also don't know spreadsheets

Back in 2005 all of these had been long invented, and had long been used in mobile devices...just not a phone
It's like most obvious patents .... You can't patent a compass ... but a compass in a phone, that's an invention?
If someone tried to break into my house then (I hope) my neighbours would notice, most burglars are not sophisticated.... .. anyone could easily clone a key and just walk in, but strangely most burglaries are still forced entry....because it is simpler
make it too easy and the burglars will use it
1) RFID is insecure .. hungry wild bears do roam the streets....
2) Universal keys are insecure
3) broadcast keys are insecure
4) You have not been to Alaska, Russia, Finland, etc
...Really?

The world currently most successful economy, showing the most growth even in an economic downturn.... mostly ignores copyrights and patents (China)
