Who cares about a unified username/password "experience". A single username/password combination is an idiotic idea which means one site getting compromised compromises ALL websites you've a openID profile. Who thinks of these idiotic ideas?
I thought they would learn from that experience when you could have a set of car keys from a Ford in the UK (in the 1970's IIRC), and it would open all the other Ford cars. At least that's how my parents car was stolen. Now do the equivalent with an online profile.. madness.
The EU has no direct effect on your life living in the UK? How about laws like below that force higher food prices just to satisfy some Euro-nuts fetish of measuring things and declaring perfect food as inedible. Food shortage, what food shortage?!
A wholesaler has been banned from selling a consignment of kiwi fruits because EU laws deemed them too small.
Tim Down, a market trader for 25 years, said he was not permitted even to give away the 5,000 Chilean fruits, each of which is about the size of a small hen's egg and weighs about 60g.
Mr Down said his family run firm would lose several hundred pounds in sales because of the ban.[/p]
"It is bureaucratic nonsense, they are perfectly fit to eat," Mr Down said at his stall at the Wholesale Fruit Centre in Bristol.
Inspectors from the Rural Payments Agency, an executive agency of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), made a random check on his stall, and found a number of his kiwis weighed 58g, four grams below the required minimum of 62g.
Mr Down said that 4g in weight was the equivalent of about one millimeter in diameter.
They want to "fix" privacy in the EU to fix the industry they are killing all by themselves, no problem, the EU = EUSSR. There is no democracy in the EU.
Under bullsh*t of terror, privacy, freedom, and democracy has been rapidly hacked to pieces at the hands of the EU, it makes for a very unpleasant place to live. Hell, to can't even elect the rulers of the EUSSR, so they are free to pass whatever law they like, with impunity.
Would staff be posting Viacom material from their work place? More likely if any video was posted to Youtube, they would do it from their homes, which are NOT under googles (or any other employers) control. Viacom could therefore go jump at making tenuous connections between being employed by company x, and company x endorsing some behaviour.
It's easier to shut down a website forum with easy to alter DNS records etc. then to stop free speech in Usenet which gets sent around all over the world, no central storage. THAT's what it's about, control of speech and thought.
I've tried various distro's with live CD's which use KDE4, don't want to mess a working system. It looks nice, I like the idea of the applications being put on the desktop like you can with Karamba, but with less CPU usage.
One main gripe for me is the file manager, it looks average, but is less useful. Not being able to open multiple tabs of different directories, ergo making drag / drop copying harder is a pain. It's like the developers wanted to regress to the shitty Windows way of it's file manager works. I don't want multiple windows open for an application, which is what I have to do with Windows explorer, and now Dolphin (the KDE4 file manager).
That's all very well and good, but the last mile over here is over copper and based on the inaction of the TelCo, and the lack of REAL competition, will remain copper for another 100 years. So no matter how fast the IP packet takes to get to the exchange, it will be slowed down.
Forget ISP's for a moment, why not investigate media companies trawling other companies (Youtube) for data on what viewer viewed what video, and how often (trade secrets)... http://tech.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/07/03/121221 .
There's no money from the government (aka taxpayers) to pay to keep this historic place open, but somehow there is £18,000,000,000 of taxpayer cash for an Olympic games nobody wanted (except freeloaders, crooked politicians and builders).
What's for sure is that if the corrupt measure came into law, the ass-licking British will be the ones that will implement it to-the-letter, just like all the other idiot EU laws - "to be good Europeans", and will be the only idiot country* to bother implementing it.

How about the FBI create a better database which keeps a record of ALL government emails, and they not go missing / corrupted in backup etc. as soon as the government is being investigated for criminal activity? Now that's one database worth having.
It doesn't speak well of the quality of hardware if you are afraid it won't work just because you changed a small bit of it (and voided your warranty in the process).
I know who/what I'd like to throttle, but TCP/IP packets aren't one of them.
I'm paying loads for my internet connection, it's my desire to use it how I like, whatever time of day or night. Stop telling me how I should use my connection, go build more backbone and local capacity that you've been scrimping on installing all these years.
Suppose it spots something on a crash course for the Earth, what next? All that will happen is that we know something is heading our way. Bruce Willis is too old to go up to space!
I have.com's.net's and two different country's domains. I have no interest to waste more money on domains just because they changed the end suffix. It will all end up as a fiasco for popular suffix's like.tv (overpriced). No doubt.sex will still not be allowed. Will ICANN allow every registrar to register any.suffix or will that be restricted as well?

Cloud computing is a privacy destroyer. That's my definition.

Pulling stuff from a software product to meat a deadline, they must have learnt from the MS-Vista team.

More IP numbers for government. As if proof were needed that the size of government is growing out of control.

What happens instead of AI-CCTV, they actually hire police with REAL intelligence? Or is the notion of police officer with intelligence clearly nuts?
Customs official (sponsored by Microsoft):
Did you create any documents in the ODF format sir?
There's no need to panic, politicians don't have a heart to have any side effects from this revelation.
They are stopping people being as big as a whale?
