Windows Mobile does this too. If you need a process to be doing work in background, create a service (does Symbian have such things?) but it'll drain your battery pretty quick.
I don't see the search itself as being as much of a problem as his laptop being seized because of two (presumably legal, as the article says women, and the alleged children came later) porn images.
I think you underestimate the capabilities of 3, 2 and even 1 year olds. My youngest is 20 months old, and any "child-proof" device to keep him out of things is useless already. My kids can get things apart that I didn't even know came apart, and when I ask them, they show me how they did it, so its not just random brute force they're using.
It puts poor intel out into the open, where other field agents can improve on it, rather than leaving the judgement over which intel to accept to higher ranking officers and politicians.
Wales and England do NOT have their own parliaments, they only have the NATIONAL UK parliament, which Scotland is also represented in, in addition to their own Scottish parliament.
Wales has the Welsh Assembly, it is not a parliament.
From the Welsh Assembly website:
New legislative powers were conferred on the National Assembly for Wales at the start of the Third Assembly in May 2007. These new powers were provided for in the Government of Wales Act 2006, which allows for the Assembly to pass legislation in areas where it has legislative competence.
It looks like a parliament, quacks like a parliament, to any casual observer it basically is a parliament, whether it technically is or not.
I thought they'd stopped injecting error as a routine measure a few years back. It is so easy to get around that I doubt it serves any military purpose, even for relatively unsophisticated enemies.
There is a Funambol plugin for Thunderbird/Lightning that can sync the calendar and address book with a SyncML server (and via that to any device which supports SyncML). For mail, I use IMAP, so its always on the server, whichever device or workstation I access it from.
You deserve the mod points for the insightful statement that follows this, but I have to take exception to the above. Great Britain is an island, which contains the countries of England, Wales and Scotland, and forms part of the sovereign state of The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or UK for short.
What about the sizes of the partitions? If the second encrypted partition is truely undetectable, how does Truecrypt avoid overwriting the data in it when adding files to the first encrypted partition?
I'm sure security agencies have looked into things like this, and are able to detect the presence of an alternate key, perhaps from a modified copy of Truecrypt that flags up inconsistencies once they've mounted it with the key you gave them.
Just because someone from management doesn't act upon your preference doesn't mean they didn't listen or value your opinion.
Is there any value to the company in standardizing on a text editor? IDEs could probably be argued, as they save project files etc in formats that are incompatible with anything else so mixing environments leads to a lot of duplication of effort keeping project files in sync, but between Emacs and vi (and proprietary editors like the TFA's subject), I strongly suspect you'd get better productivity from your developers by letting them use whatever they're familiar with. In that case, what is someone from management doing mandating which text editors developers use anyway? Maybe the company wouldn't miss such a "prima donna", but I expect the feeling would be mutual, as good developers like to work in companies where the management is as good at making decisions about the company's bottom line as the developer is at coding.
For example... "My bank account? I've lived in the same city for 30 years. I was born there and everyone knows me. The bank manager just signed off on my identification, since he went to high school with my dad and has known me since I was born."
If you stay with the same bank you had a child's account with, would you have had to have proved your ID at any stage, even if you move towns later? I didn't, but it was a different time and place.
There's also Isuzu, who Toyota bought a share of a few years back for their diesel hybrid technology. Volkswagen are also looking to be leaders in diesel hybrid technology.
VOIP does't need port forwarding at all SIP pairs with STUN and Skype has its own methods.
You're right, VoIP has workarounds, but there are significant performance gains from eliminating the extra TCP connection to an external server, not to mention privacy gains from having your VoIP or Skype traffic come directly to you via UDP. You may not notice it too much for low bitrate voice only, but throw video in the mix, and the difference is immediately obvious.
It's well beyond a trial now. My girlfriend got hers from Barclays when they rolled it out properly late last year, and I got one recently from Nationwide. It's a bit annoying, as you need to carry the little calcuator sized machine around wherever you might want to use your internet or telephone banking. I think Barclays requires it for login, Nationwide only requires it for activities that result in money leaving your accounts, so you can at least still check your balance and transfer between accounts if you don't have it on you.
Most mobile devices run several ARM cores. Usually they are arranged as peripherals to the main CPU rather than working together as an SMP system. Typically the baseband (the bit that handles commincation with the cellular network) will have its own CPU in all but the lowest end devices, and increasingly graphics/video/audio processing is offloaded to a specialised chip. Nvidia are pulling this all into a single package, just as Marvell have with the PXA320, and TI have with several of their OMAP processors. In a typical configuration, it will appear as a single core to WinCE, so SMP support will not be needed, as the other cores are being used for specialised processing rather than as general CPUs. The PSP does something similar with its dual core MIPS processor.
It's funny how when police release CCTV footage of suspected criminals, it is always blurry black and white images at 2 fps, but these guys managed to get focused full PAL resolution images at 25 fps, sometimes in color.
"Smaller companies" were presumably more helpful due to the fact that they didn't have lawyers to inform them of this fact.
Smaller companies' cameras are more likely to be outsourced to security firms, who, since it is their primary business, would be well versed in their obligations relating to cameras covering public spaces, and are generally quite lenient in making the video available. It is probably chargeable back to the client, so an additional revenue source for them, and not worth refusing over a technicality like the wrong Act being used to request the images.
Only KDDI is CDMA. The other two big networks are using NTT's proprietary system for 2G, and 2.1 GHz W-CDMA (standard UMTS for Softbank, a slight variation for NTT Docomo) for 3G.
I'd have to put Java ahead of C#, purely because of the number of high quality third party libraries (particularly from apache.org) that reduce the workload for writing large complex apps. As far as everything else goes, C# and Java are about equal.
Verisign have always offered about 5 tiers of certificate with different levels of checking (and price differentiation to match). If you weren't already paying for the top tier, then you aren't going to need an extended certificate anyway. The explicit marking of extended certificates makes it more obvious to the end user which certificate holders have been checked properly (rather than just checking that the applying company
exists and the street address matches the company register), which can only be a good thing.
They're calling it a telltale, which from the description sounds more accurate than windsock, as a telltale is not hollow. Telltales (usually thin strips of nylon, sometimes on smaller yachts just bits of string) are used on the leading and trailing edges of sails to indicate the flow of air over and off the sail.

Only in the minds of Irish Nationalists.

There are no GSM networks in Japan. Softbank's 2G network uses the same Japan-only system as NTT Docomo's. Their 3G network is UMTS.
I don't know, do Python and Ruby have a standard interface to message queues? Not every web app is database driven.

Strictly speaking, its a URI. 'I' for identifier, 'L' for locator.
