..unless it's implemented in EVERY classroom? It's all very well knowing the students are on campus, but generally a register is to monitor who was actually IN class.
Yes, I work in a sixth form college, so I know how registers work.
I guess you've never wondered why this Labour government in particular is so happy to let hundreds of thousands of potential Labour voters through our borders.
I mean, if you'd just immigrated to Britain you wouldn't vote for a party thats anti-mass immigration would you?
If websites firewall off unsubscribed viewers and large ISPs control these channels, will the democracy of the internet be in peril or will corporate internet be killing itself?
Killing itself. Take your example of Facebook - me and all my friends are on different ISP's. If Facebook was only available on one, we would switch to a site that was available on all of them.
This is a bit like the old "you cant be a member of more than one religion, and more than one religion says if you aren't a member you're going to hell, so you're definitely going to hell either way, so to hell with religion". You can't get all the ISP's everywhere, so if you can't get what you want, to hell with it. Get something else, somewhere else.
I have an 8MB connection with BT, and according to them, I live "on top of" the local exchange (its certainly very close).
I am using the BT HomeHub modem/router that they supplied to me, and according to the status, I am connected at 8,096Kbps.
That doesn't mean anything when I've never seen download speeds faster than 300-400kbps, and even when I run speedtests at 2am, I rarely get above 4500kbps.
At the same time, the government wants us to let them to store personal details of all citizens in the interest of national security.
I'm hoping that all these USB sticks are lost on purpose, in an underground campaign to show how careless the government is with our personal details, thereby increasing mistrust and fueling public backlash against a surveillance state.
Every USB port on recent Apple products is designed so that the plug fits in "symbol towards the user". This makes so much more sense when the ports aren't arranged horizontally. If you look round the side of an iMac for example, its symbol towards you, if you plug it into a keyboard, its symbol towards you.
If you can't distinguish between an apple symbol and a usb symbol, where instead your "sub-conscious" just sees dark blobs, then I don't think anyone is going to be able to design anything that keeps you happy.

Weirdly, I was thinking of exactly the same patch of the planet as I was reading this story.
I visited the Bay Area last year as a tourist (from London, UK) and was marveling at the hundreds of turbines on the hill as I drove towards Yosemite.
You seem to be having trouble righting with your computer, why not donate it to Travis?
If you talk to the Russians...
So you could say, "In Soviet Russia, 21 million German bank accounts buy You!"
Exactly. What companies should be doing is rewarding customers for not dumping their old computers in landfill.
How about a free RAM upgrade when you recycle your old computer at the same time as purchasing your new one?
No, unfortunately, we have Packard Bell over here in the UK as well.
To be fair, my family's first PC was a Packard Bell (450mb hard drive ftw!)

I, for one, welcome our new deaf, dumb, blind and quadriplegic Rock overlords!

Austria still seems to have a bit of a love affair with far-right politicians, even if they do kill themselves while speeding in BMWs
It was a VW Phaeton. Not an angry car.
Big Brother was thought up by the Dutch.
For you, a problem I've fixed, *there*
There's always one person who too far takes it.
It would be "houston, problem we have", to fix the original quote
There, for you I've fixed.
No, you're thinking of spreading butter on a cat's back.
