Nope. I had intention to start a flame war. It was the A.C. above who went off all flame-war-y I did indeed know what the submitter meant, and they were making a false religious insinuation of the sort that is supposed to slip under the wire and go unchallenged in a technical forum where being challenged on correctness is the norm.
I constantly assume the flat out stupid ways of doing things don't happen because they are flat out stupid, only to find that that's exactly what's happening.
So you invite everyone in the world to submit their domain name and IP address on postcards?
DNS isn't trustworthy, but you still have to trust something upstream in the DNS hierarchy for most things. It's a risk, but we aren't offered a less risky option. VPNs typically don't and keep IP lists.
Actually I remember it well. The casual murder of TV celebrities in the UK by terrorists didn't go unreported at the time. It did happen, the Wikipedia article is not wrong.
Maybe you were thinking of Ross McWhirter, who was murdered by the Harry Duggan and Hugh Doherty of the IRA, funded by Americans. the murderers then got released from prison in 1999 so that they might choose not to murder again.
Because this was the UK, where the terms of the data protection act are well understood. Ignorance of that is no more excusable than ignorance of tax law, or speed limits.
They had plenty of non technical choices to protect the data. They could have kept it on paper in a locked room. They could have kept the computers off the internet. They could have kept the data in excel tables on USB sticks. They could have hired a consultant who specializes in data protection compliance. There are no shortage of them.
I have no sympathy. They need to be required to pay the fine so everyone else who handles personal data gets the message that you don't handle it negligently.
Why do you demand definitive claims rather than the evidentiary claims that science does make? That's like criticizing a launderette for failing to perform medicine.
When I was their age made ~500 UK pounds (given inflation and dollar conversions > $1000) on some basic computer programming tasks. I remember porting "Columns to BS449" from a Sinclair QL to an Apple ][ for an architect.
I have that game. I started it. Took out some aliens in a car park then nothing. It would not advance to the next level. If I hadn't given up, I'd still be milling about in the car park.

They sound like a harsh unforgiving bunch.
Less irritating than religious gullibility.
Re-fi your home. Buy it. Move it. Own it. Rent space to all comers.

I think you mean he died. There isn't another side to pass to.
You are a troll, but I shall feed you anyway.

And it's blocked by my employer. Someone doesn't like people seeing other DNS servers.

Er no. They use my IP to determine my location. Who I consult to get their IP is none of their business.
It's not just Comcast. No ISP I have used has ever run a reliable DNS service. 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 is your friend.

Why not say " a 100-nanometer-thick wafer of vanadium oxide" because a substance is called vanadium oxide when it is vanadium oxide.

She writes for Newsweek for Christ's sake.
And there was me thinking He just wanted us to live a good life and be nice to our neighbours. Who knew?
He had a hidden agenda. It seems to be working rather well.
> shouldn't a good researcher have looked into that?
What makes you think she's a good researcher? She writes for Newsweek for Christ's sake.
Why do you demand definitive claims rather than the evidentiary claims that science does make?
That's like criticizing a launderette for failing to perform medicine.
However, this presupposes that you knew about the problem before trying to land.
That's ok. I can read through them sneakily leaving the s off to confuse us.
It seems that BS 449 is obsolete. "EN 1993 - Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures" is the new overlord of structural columns.

$100 is not good pay.

A complete waste of money.
