It's not that I think everyone should be forced to use encryption everywhere, but in this case the unencrypted data is being broadcast out into public spaces.
If UKSA so much as picks a logo and a colour scheme for its web site in its first year of existence, I'll be flabbergasted.
The first thing I noticed was the logo. I would suggest that perhaps a significant portion of the agency's funding so far has been spent on the logo and branding. Now that's in the bag, I suspect they'll be aiming their sights on improving their IT infrastructure.
Spot on. E.g. the ones causing the trouble can be identified merely by the clothing they wear. Not to say that everyone still wearing white track/shellsuits in 2010 is going to cause trouble, but empirical evidence suggests a strong correlation.
The continued stratification of housing areas into social groups provides similar indicators.
Gated communities are not far away now. I'd live in one.
Thank you; if some of these other commenters lived in fear of stepping outside their home then maybe they'd rethink what sort of actions are permissible.
It's worth noting that *music* and *sound* is being used as a weapon as VERY little else is legal to use. The police have very little powers too.
Not kids in general, a specific underclass of kids that cause >40% of crime (aka 'anti-social behaviour' in modern terms).
When they set fire to a car. When they sit fire to bins and push them, burning, up against the communal entrance to your apartment. When they break into your apartment complex's underground parking to have somewhere to drink, and smash everything on their way out. The 11 year old putting a brick through the windscreen of an Audi TT so he can spit on the seats, caught because his DNA was already on police records from previous arrests. Well, that's just this week. They were enemies before that.
Because we live in a dystopian society. The government (and population; not all speakers/cctv/... are public owned) is just reacting against the social underclasses.
The type of "youths" this is targeting are those most likely to be the ones who waste the rest of their lives. Therefore it is unlikely any shops will suffer.
If this is true, then I'll accept the other consequences of voting Tory (we haven't forgotten the 80s) and have the high speed Internet please.
My 7MBit/s line has been delivering 300kbit/s for three months due to 'VP congestion' even though I am within sight of the local exchange, which is also the BT area office. I've grown so use to not being able to do anything online except for email that I've decided it would be acceptable to move to rural village (though with population >1,000) which has no broadband due to being 7km away from the three nearest exchanges.
Despite the obvious logical problems with this statement, I do sometimes think that Internet access in the UK outside of London is positively medieval.
If BT are waiting for government handouts to get fibre to rural not-spots and the irrelevant cable companies are not even operating in the same country, then bring on Google. When Google turns into Microsoft, we'll take action. But for now, we need Google. They've been nothing but a force for good so far.
I can't say for AT&T or Facebook what happened in this case, but I have seen similar things happening with poor-quality web caching proxies.
I am specifically talking of the horror that is Microsoft's ISA server.
At a previous job at an office powered by an MSDN subscription, there were cases where users would open websites for the first time and find themselves immediately logged in as someone who had already used and logged into that site on a nearby LAN computer.
I managed four years of coding during 8.5 hour days with a ~15 minute break at midday. Kept quiet, did good work, got a lot done, didn't talk about football. It's just the environment.
These days, in a different job, people take 2 hour breaks regularly and spend a hour a day on Facebook (not me though, I'm locked into having a work ethic). Different office, different environment. Still get things done.
The scaremongering summary doesn't seem to convey the correct meaning.
I think the implication is actually a move to something like the new style BT network being implemented in the UK. Called the 21st Century Network (21CN). See http://www.btplc.com/21cn/
There was a significant number of people around me during my degree who tried cheating. While I hope they went into factory work (putting the small boxes in the big boxes) my experience of maintaining other people's code suggests not.
I did not cheat, got a reasonable overall degree, and I have not been involved in any failed projects in the decade or so since.
Anecdote: I once wrote a module for a large industrial application (robot control; very cool stuff) as an outsourced developer. The company hired a couple of full time programmers on to work on the project too. Now, since they offered me the job I knew the salary range. Two years later, both programmers had quit leaving behind a terrifying VB.net mess. I was asked to work on it again and found my module with a header comment "Originally by nOw2 but rewritten 99% by Xyzl!". I did a diff and found about 5% changes, all of which was code to integrate the module into the main application, breaking the modularity of the original design.
After my drive into work this morning can I also suggest all Audi, BMW and van drivers be instantly banned from driving for a period of 10 years as soon as they agree to buy one of the before mentioned vehicles.
I can't see this replacing binding contracts between the parties.
If you wish to issue invoices electronically in the EU, they can only be legal (for VAT etc.) if signed correctly.
This varies country by country; sometimes it just needs to be signed by any old self-signed cert, sometimes you need a cert issued by a central tax authority, sometimes a cert issued by a bank, and some countries don't bother at all and you can invoice by plain text if you like.
But anyway; for invoicing at least, signed PDFs can be legally binding contracts.
The obvious answer is to not get it into a state where the network fails.
You mention servers which are designed to run headless, but that isn't really true. Many servers are just basic machines with or without video output but are hosted too far away to easily see the screen. Remote access systems like Dell RAC/HP ILO are still fairly rare, in my experience.
Its been a few years since I broke a server badly enough to need to see the screen. Silly iptables.
I'm not confident in attempting to second guess Apple, but after ordering from the UK store it says it'll ship on the 28th and is expected to be delivered on, literally, "".
I hope it'll be here on Friday. I expect to get it on Monday. I fear it'll arrive broken.
I've never had a problem with an upgrade on the Mac; I think I've covered each point upgrade from 10.4.1 to 10.5.8. So I've preordered and will install when it gets here.
The only Apple upgrade that's given me problems is iPhone 3.0; wireless strength gradually drops from full to nothing over 10 minutes or so. With 2.x it's fine.

Isn't the real solution to start a new project for a Linux-based NAS solution and leave FreeNAS development to those who want to use FreeBSD?
After my drive into work this morning can I also suggest all Audi, BMW and van drivers be instantly banned from driving for a period of 10 years as soon as they agree to buy one of the before mentioned vehicles.
That should cut twattish driving by >50%.
Careful viewers will notice that there is no engine installed in the Bel Air.
Why do you think they would be trying to mislead you?
I'm not up on current conspiracy theories but surely this isn't one?
Anyone else with horror stories with Demon?
No. One of the better ISPs.
Anyway, I suspect the problem here is NOT Demon but their eBilling provider.

Did the scripts work with the developer's releases over the last year? If so you'll be okay.
