I would be worth remembering that the number of servers affected by this were tiny when compared to the number of personal machines that this affected. Remember that the article is only talking about breached servers not the machines that your average joe thicky has running on his desktop. And although there were servers in the devastation i dont think it would be as many as you scream to make out there was.

If you are an employer in the UK and you want to hold data there is nothing voluntary about it, if you are not part of the data protection act you may not hold information of any type on your personel. I work for an american company in the UK and they have a massive entry in the UK register for data retention. For the pitiful sum of 10 quid (max) i am allowed to get any information held on me by anyone, council, police, work cctv camera in stores. Its fun.....
Gentlepersons, You will have to forgive the lack of links but did i not read just yesterday about a self parking car (does this qualify as driving), and there are cars in germany that can 'follow' the car in front so that you can take your hands off the wheel until you need to go some where different.
Here in the UK (and most of EMEA) we already have video phones that are mobile phones with built in video camera for real time webcamesque transmissions, in the UK the provider is called 3 (for 3g i suppose) what it might be called elsewhere is another matter.
This is a very valid point, i work as a data warehouse designer, part of my duties is to use various reporting tools (Business Objects and Siebel Analytics) to design and build report to return the data that the customer wants to see. Since i work in the UK and the client is a v large company reporting to a regulatory body these reports are the basis for fines, timetables and the like, however the client comes accross as a very half assed designer. If they want something i spend some time going through there requirements trying to steer them away from going over the top.
Example.. 'great if we have a report that shows me a,b,c and d as a % of C then why not have it show r,t,y,g,h as well.' 'We show those in another report there is no need'for them in this one.' i usually spake thusly
The need for fast accurate reports goes over there heads and the need for a No!! often comes in at the point, you really have to weigh the almost childish i want! i want! i want! with the actual design and specs.
I fully believe in the word no, its not just about scaring them with quotes and timescales but also about professional pride in a good job
Software patents have not yet made it in to Europe for fear of it being like the US, in fact all over europe at the moment there are protests to software copyright and patents.
In fact the majority of the EU doesn't actually want it and a lot of the EMP's are fighting to have it chucked out.

Hmm very similar although there might be some cross Pacific grammar differences.
a) I learnt how to X (speaking of past learnings)
b) I have learned how to X (speaking of present learning)
But both can be switched around to personal preference, I would use A but hey, im English so i would naturally use the way i was taught at school..

This thing will only be driven by bloody hairdressers at the best of times due to its remarkable resemblance to a Mazda MX5.
Only a bloke would drive a gadget car like this so we think that it should look more like a lotus, tvr or land rover.
