    That was a serious comment!

    Apologies for my blatant absence of the apostrophe; I did Foundation English GCSE.

    No, they'll get their license fees, or they'll release Windows v8 with proper security in place, ruining all these vendors businesses overnight.

    The game is actually called "Reboot", and depending on which level you get to it's either controlled with 3 keys, or one button.

    This isn't about your spouse wanting to read your email, it's about your spouse not trusting you.

    You need relationship counciling, not security software.

    Huzzah! I am flamed!

    So you're saying that the Police wouldn't need to monitor ALL your communications to make sure that SOME weren't used for illegal purposes?

    You DO know how deep packet inspection works, don't you?

  10. A simple solution... Test question, maybe? on 85% of Chinese Citizens Like Internet Censorship · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Question 1. Do you believe that there should be a way for Law Enforcement officials to identify those on the internet who engage in illegal activities, for the sake of protecting the naive or easily prayed upon?

    Question 2. Do you want us to have the power to know what you buy online, what your daughter looks like in a bikini, and read the email you sent to your working-away-from-home husband (Paul) with that photo of you(?) in the black and scarlet red corset (and not much else)?

    If you answered differently to both of those questions, your opinion is not valid for this survey.

    How's hardware support for 64bit? Last time I used it (FC6), half of the drivers were rubbish.

    I'd be more than happy with the 64bit version (in fact, happier) if they've got a decent range of hardware supported.

  13. Re:Spot on on China to Regulate Internet Map Publishing · · Score: 1

    So how does removing a region from a map work? Won't the area have an outline defined by the neighbouring nations and geographical formations identical to that which is covered by China? Tibet will still be there; it'll just have a big black blob designated "Rescinded" next to it, instead of a geographical representation of China. The blob will just so happen to cover China's area of influence, though.

    If you run towards the board quickly with your hands behind your back and your neck strained foward, they'll disappear. I guarantee it.

    Alternatively, draw the dots further apart to begin with, but that's not as much fun.

  15. From TFA on London Lawyers Demand £600 For One Game · · Score: 4, Interesting

    "client is prepared to give you the opportunity to avoid legal action" provided it receives compensation of £600 plus £8.18 to cover the costs of obtaining the user's details from their ISP. "

    Hear that? Sounds like a bucket full of water being thrown around?

    That's the sound of his ISP shitting their pants, as they're being sued for breach of the DPA for providing personally identifiable information to a third party without prior permission or court order.

    If this guy hasn't already, he needs to go talk to CAB and get legal representation.

    This case could help a lot of people out in the UK beat these strong-arm extortion tactics.

  16. The Microsoft Patch Cycle on Windows XP SP3 Creating Havoc · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Patch size (in MB) = X
    (X * 3)/100 = T

    T = Time patch is ready for release to public (from microsoft release date, in months).

    This puts Service Pack 3 general release for February 2009, and i'm not touching it until then.

    You've not been following the US elections, have you...

    I've not read a mainstream newspaper or watched a mainstream news broadcast in probably over 3 years, yet I know for a fact that there is one 40+ white dude, one 30+ black dude, and Bill Clinton's wife running for the presidency. I somehow think that makes them politicians.

    This is the clue stick. Bend over while I apply it to you forcefully and repeatedly.

    Run the secure delete utility from a USB pen drive.

    Take a second USB drive of the same model with some mildly personal info (a password manager, your CV, some family photos etc) in case they're intelligent enough to check the event log for attaching an external device. Give them just enough to let them think they've outsmarted you...
