    Physical security is just as important as online security you can get just as much info out of a PC in a skip as you can online if it wasn't wiped correctly for instance.

  5. Re:I'll miss the old school special effects on Classic BBC Sci-fi Series Blake's 7 To Return On Syfy Channel · · Score: 1

    The social commentary in Blake is subtle and morality ambiguous, something that is hard to do on and American TV show.

    Firefly managed it but oh wait they got canned! :(

    So what we're basically saying is that Apple the company that essentially takes it's name and logo from the suicide method of a famous homosexual http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Turing although Apple deny this. What we're saying is that they are homophobes?

    Depends on the colour of your hat :) but script kiddies are lower than phone freaks any way you look at it.

    So basically what you're saying is that 99% of corporate are done using a system designed initially as a hobby project by an intern at Sun?

    Absolutely but it's not all her fault Blair did enough deregulation as well.

  11. Re:Good riddance on Margaret Thatcher Dies At 87 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    She basically shut down the UK's manufacturing industry and moved us over to a service industry economy. Pity we're now outsourcing all the services. I remember living under her stiletto boot heels I'll not be dancing in the streets like some will be but I'll not miss her either.

  12. Re:Worried? on Bitcoin Exchange Mt.Gox Suffers Serious Attack, Instawallet Offline · · Score: 1
    It is a case of over statement. bear in mind there's a very long history of bank robberies some of which took advantage of infrastructure that wasn't up to scratch (Ronny Biggs & the great train robbery springs to mind). So wow somebody robbed a bank and another bank branch has closed because they made their safe out of tissue paper.

    Move along there's nothing to see here!

    OK the Quantum Computers bit was a little red herring however cohesion in quantum entanglement is already at the level where faster than light comms are possible.

    Don't have one myself but know a few people who do they almost all like them the only person who didn't probably wouldn't like most mobile phones any way (Still complains they don't have dials). Personally I'll stick with my Droid.

  24. Re:Fraud on Most UK GPs Have Prescribed Placebos · · Score: 1

    Here's the rub. A lot of people show up at the doctor for things which will take n days to go away - with or without treatment. The common cold, for example. They won't accept NOT getting any prescription and will hop from doctor to doctor until they get one.

    Can we give them a cyanide placebo in these instances?

    Obviously these are the sort of idiots who should be culled for the benefit of the rest of us who have positive IQ's :D

    Perhaps if they'd tried not shelling & shooting reporters the media bias might be different :)
