The only exercise I get is walking along railway platforms. When you're commuting for a total of five hours a day, on top of your eight hour working day, there's not much time left for anything other than sleeping and eating.
Unfortunately the lack of exercise is my major problem.
I once found a bug in a major SCADA platform that, from talking to someone who worked for the company that developed it, they knew about and had a fix for; their support people had instructions to only tell you about it and send it to you if you'd actually found the bug. As in found it and knew what it was (namely a memleak).
Likewise. But then I'm also losing track of the number of times I have to touch the damn card against the reader on buses and barriers before the damn things works.
I suspect "unauthorized" in this context might well mean "Childs".
It's not unheard of to have dialup access to a network device, in case you're locked out from the network facing side; I don't know if someone who is as, apparently, paranoid as Childs is would give them self such a fall back though.
This useless information brought to you by someone who is about to bugger off home for the day, on the hell that is the London Undeground. With an Oyster card that appears to be on its way to dying.
I believe that in the UK the police do have the power to ask for the tacho card - with digial tachos they have their own data access cards which enable them to read the data.
If I read the TFA properly, it's a continuous data stream. Although what "continuous" actually translates to in terms of data refresh is anyone's guess.
My guess is the expert's original statement was based on the assumption that the device was a run-of-the-mill GPS navigation system, which probably aren't accurate when it comes to speed and position.
Although if that hypothesis is correct it does leave one wondering why they made that assumption and didn't bother checking; it certainly reads like he then took a closer look at the device, when the finding was contested, and realized that it was a much more high end device.
Oh you'd be surprised; companies that host Windows web servers for a start - especially when they normally only deal with BSD and Linux based boxes. I've known a hosting company put an unpatched Windows 2003 Server on their external network, it was riddled with all sorts of fun by the time I looked at it.
I prefer a combination of theme names and functional names though. Theme names tend to be a lot more friendly and easy to remember, plus you can use them in conversation when you need to refer to machines; functional names are useful because they tell you exactly what a machine does and where it is, but they're a bugger to use when you're talking about machines because it's just - usually - a list of numbers and letters.
It still has to go through the House of Lords before it can then go to the Queen for Royal Assent, then it becomes an Act of Parliament; it's still a Bill right now.
It's entirely possible the Lords will kick it back to the Commons - the government might not be so lucky on the vote the next time around.
It should be noted the last time a Labour government only just won a vote with the support the Unionists was 1979...
Strictly speaking Satan is in the 9th circle of hell, in the very centre. He is, after all, the arch-traitor. Brutus, Cassius and Judas are also there, being chewed on by one each of Satan's three heads.
(There's 5 areas within the 9th circle, the first is for traitors to kin, the second is for the more conventional meaning of traitor, the third is for traitors to guests and the fourth is for traitors to superiors and benefactors. The fifth is the centre itself.
Given the 9th circle of hell is for traitors, I'm wondering who you think he's betrayed. Although I guess being frozen in a block of ice is kind of appropriate punishment for all those frozen Windows systems.
The CPS isn't made up of judges, it's the Crown Prosecution Service; they're solicitors. They decide whether there's a case to charge someone with a crime or not. In this case they decided, rightly, that there wasn't. It didn't even get in front of a judge.
Given their current track record, when it comes to keeping information to themselves, you would think they would have given up trying to collect more of it by now.
Actually no I wouldn't.
The character of Sir Humphrey Appleby, in Yes Minister, once quipped, "The ship of state is the only ship that leaks from the top". I think our ship of state is currently a colander.
It was rather silly. It's a little hard to miss if you're in London - just do a Google Images search on "BT Tower" and you'll get plenty of photos of it in context.
I think if you look at a map of London and look at the southern end of Vauxhall Bridge you'll see a white square on the map - there's actually a building there; it's the joint HQ of MI5 and MI6. Thing is, everyone knows what it is and where it is. Hell they even got permission to use it as the backdrop in one of the James Bond films.
I think GCHQ is kind of marked on the map - in as much that there's a big white bit in the west of Chelthenham with a donut shape on it, which is the main building. GCHQ's homepage even has maps to show you where they are.

Yeah, I keep meaning to get a new one. Will probably end up doing it on the way in to work when I get to Liverpool Street tomorrow.
Mine stays in my rail ticket wallet - usually it never comes out either. It's no different to keeping it in the wallet it comes in really.

Although there is a Holland Park in London.

But if you ask Alice you're liable to end up talking backwards and generally just be totally off your head.

Computer says no.

We use (horse) race course names at work.

Actually they speak German too. In fact most of them speak German; French is the largest of the minority languages, iirc.
MaxMind are the main GeoIP provider, afaik. You might want to try getting in contact with them.

(That's actually a bit of generalization; it's also responsible for actually prosecution people if they do decide there is a case.)

The way Obi-Wan looks at Luke when he first sees the holo recording from Leia makes a lot more sense when you find out they're brother and sister.

You obviously missed the bit in TFA where it states the IOC welcomed the decision, viz. "The International Olympic Committee welcomed the verdict."
