  1. Human Rights, EU etc on UK Government Wants To Bypass Data Protection Act · · Score: 0

    Don't worry this is contrary to EU law which is sovereign over UK law. After speaking to a trainee lawyer she laughed and said that this properly won't even get passed. No need to panic put your tin foil hats backs.

    But Jim has already fixed it for me.

  4. Re:What?! on Teachers Need an Open Source Education · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I can not agree with with you more. I've shared (and still share) student housing with people training to be secondary school teachers. One of them is genuinely smart and would be a great teacher. However I've meet people who are becoming teachers because they think it will be easy and after a five minute conversion with them have been left with the feeling that they struggle to get dresses in the morning by themselves.

    More money to teachers and dissuading lazy people to become teachers is clearly the best option regardless of the subject or area of teaching that they are entering.

  5. Re:Flabbergasted.. on When Teachers Are Obstacles To Linux In Education · · Score: 0

    I'm still at uni and have shared houses with people training to be teachers, on a specific degree course, and have spent a fair amount of time socialising which other people on their course. Most the trainee teachers lack the ability to state opinion as that, opinions. And will argue even a point to the end if they think its correct even if suitable evidence suggest otherwise. I know this is not true for all teachers but from the trainee teachers I have met a saying springs to mind, those who can't teach (and those who can't teach, teach PE)

  6. Re:Yes you can on Facebook Blocks Users From Mentioning BugMeNot.com · · Score: 0

    Well it can't be rabbits because people might go around shooting fascists as well. And I'm pretty sure people would start to get all up in arms about that.

  8. Re:Not really new on New SQL Injection Attack Fuses Malware, Phishing · · Score: 0

    Although this isn't really new why do SQL injection attacks still occur. There are countless articles on how to protect yourself. Or do the webmaster simply not care?

    so what your saying is that we are going to be flooded with even more bloatware for windows? Or are they are going to change fields and try to fill the gap that the spam king left

  11. Re:Editors? on Mother Sues After Bebo Story Hits Press · · Score: 0

    As the article didn't say what news papaers are beign sued comment can't really be made. If they are broad sheets then their job should be to make sure that published content is factual and correct. Tabloids like the sun and the mirror, editors are only there to fill some space in the office.

    surely you would use solid state hard drives although they are still really expensive. But isn't that a step back to using cartridges?

  15. Re:Hide the evil code? on 2008 Underhanded C Contest Officially Open · · Score: 2, Funny

    One possible option for this contest is to hide information in the lower bounds of each pixel (stenography like) Sure that's easy without the source code, but how do you make setting black to something other than 0 look innocent in your source code? There's the rub. Just lie really well in your comments?

    I read /. most days and this is the third article i've read today that has had a link to a virus infected site? Is it the same user's IP whose posted them? Can't the mods do something about it. It's not a problem to me because the viruses are targeted at windows but still its taking the piss a little.
