I disagree, OSS is an opportunity to Fortify. The implication is that the Tories didn't include ensuring the security of OSS in their plans. What Fortify should want is
Gov use OSS Gov need security assurance Gov purchase Fortify s/w. Gov Fortify against the source code - something they can only do with OSS. Given that you can't outsource accountability, any org that wants to ensure security of OSS must buy the Fortify product.
We've formed an orderly queue and are waiting for it to turn up. If anything we are shuffling towards something.
Of course we know what will happen. You wait for one form of authoritarian government to turn up for years and then 3 turn up at once. I would say more Stalinist than Fascist anyway.
>> my problem with evolution is that it excludes the possibility of an external force guiding change
I'm not entirely sure that is true, it just says that one is not needed, it doesn't say an external force could not, just need not. For example I understand that the Catholic Church accepts evolution happens but that it is guided.

Here you go:
Zone 1 fare (basically the inner, touristy, bit) Oyster single fare £1.50 At any time. Cash single fare £4.00 At any time.
From Upminster the Heathrow (Eastest to Westest) - Neither end is really in London. Oyster single fare £3.50 Monday to Friday from 0700 and before 1900. Oyster single fare £2.00 At all other times including public holidays. Cash single fare £4.00 At any time.
Apart from them really wanting you to use the Oyster card option (and there are some privacy issues with that) it's not as bad as you make out. Mind you it's still probably the most expensive system I've tried, compared to the inner bits in NY and in Paris (being a tourist I haven't tried the extent of either system).
The London prices are high, and going up fast, partly I think to chronic under investment over tens of years to the point it is falling apart, the aim is self funding and soo much needs doing.
I notice you didn't say that baseball was not boring, just subtle.
Now if you want subtle and boring then test cricket is the sport for you. Especially in the UK where whole days of a match can be lost to the rain.
"but please don't argue that the iPod ended up in millions of homes simply because it was shiny."
Nowhere did I try to argue that. It was shiny, it was marketed well, it was the right product at the right time etc. As far as I'm concerned it was not because it was a harddisk mp3 player.
How many computers came standard with a GUI in the 80s before apple's? Not sure about timing but it must have been the first (of many) but who did the innovation apple or xerox?
before apple what color were all computers? Don't care - the box sits under the desk, I look at the screen, I get a lot more work done that way.
How about a GL acclerated desktop? Absolutely no idea - so?
no one put tiny HDDs on mp3 players Archos, maybe not tiny , but the same width and height as an iPod - thicker though (lots approx x2:-) Not sure about timing there but it was half the price and there was only that or an Creative thing in the shop at the time. I just update my 6000 Jukebox to a Gmini xs202. 20G player for £125, and it's smaller that an iPod (about 1/2 the size). UI not as good but then what is.
iTunes Got me there, never really got the point. Rip, copy, play - luddite that I am.
I guess the question is about the term innovate. As I said in the first question, did apple innovate or just improve. Just is the bad word here, I think designing and selling a usable product is the important thing here. It's what japanese compnaies got accused of - copying products but makeing them smaller, better and cheaper (at least apple accused of doing all 3).
I would point out that us English only drive on the left in countries where the vast majority of people drive on the left, e.g. England, Wales, Scotland etc.
We drive on the right in those countries that drive on the right, except when just off the ferry/train when we forget:-)
Lets face it we are not really known for our well balanced view of foreigners or their culture.
However I think you may have a point wrt travel, but it might be to do with "green" targets. If they reduce air travel they reduce pollution through air travel and they don't have to worry about all that trouble you get when trying to expand airports.
WTF First they took your guns Most of us didn't have/didn't need them.
Then they effectively took away your right to self-defense Since when? Not having guns is not the same as no right to self-defence. See above. What has happened is that you're not allowed to shoot people in the back, as they run away from you - no matter how must they have pissed you off.
Your medical system is refusing treatment to patients who are over weight (gasp) or smoke (the horror) in order to save money. Well there has to be some criteria, money is limited, the other answer is to tax more to create more money.
An un-assimilated population of immigrants is holding up signs saying "wait for the real holocaust" A fair number of those immigrants where born here. We have a history of allowing dissent and the voicing of unpopular views, you know it's called 'free speech'
Wake up, it is already too late, and you better get cracking on fixing things. If it's too late why bother?
an attempt at almost indefinate detention without trial
security services (or anyone) not allowed to link recent attacks here to a certain invasion
It would appear that if you want to get legislation past PM Blair - just add a terorist threat - or say your name is Bush (guess who with have the extradition agreement with with). I'm not even starting to list domestic issues (well I guess id card is domestic) and will completely skip Iraq itself.
OK I agree with your tone but it's not a windows problem. Here I agree with the minor dumb - "Everyone would be secure if they all just ran security-flavor-of-the-month"
Enumerating Badness I think his point, which I disagree with, is that you can't know all the problems - yes viruses are predominately a windows problem. But there are other attack vectors, sql injection and buffer overflow attacks spring to mind.
Penetrating and Patching Cause sendmail, apache etc have never had vulnerabilities problems. Neither do all those web apps that get pen'ed and patched.
Awareness Both the above lead to my agreement with you on awareness.
But the point isn't so much users (yes they need basic stuff) but those clever admins and developers. How many admins allow remote telnet root access to their systems? Obviously none on/. How many developers validate input fully?
So don't use it to promote political, charitable, or other campaigning purposes
That is there because the BBC's charter has the same restrictions. The BBC is not allowed to promote any of the above - so it has to publish it's material under the same restrictions.
Is it enforcable - only in the 'big' cases. Does anyone care. I doubt it.
My bet is that someone had a good idea "let's publish the programs for people to use" and then the lawyers got hold of it and I'm glad they have - I don't want my license few paying legal fees.
I can't understand why these 'Insightful' postings continue. The BBC's license agreement is there to protect the BBC.
The BBC don't really care if you use the content - the company that brought the rights to the material in your country, i.e. the owner of the IP will. The BBC is trying to stop getting itself sued!
I have it on good authority that ALL the money collected goes to the BBC (no admin fee etc). Of course this is all taken into account when coming up with the fee.
It depends on the parents - I would guess that they would have worried more without the monitor.
I would say I find the monitor invaluable - it has a set of noise level lights - allowing me to listen to music on my headphones while 'listening out' for signs of distress.
Seeing as this is a geek site - the monitors are a tool that the user is free to use/abuse as he/she sees fit. They can disrupt your life or make it easier depending on how you use them (see computers passim)
I believe the problem for socialists is that the poll tax is a flat rate tax (like VAT) that ignores ability to pay:- To each according to their needs, from each according to their ability- to pay -
Although this may be more communist that socialist - not an expert.
Also what makes you think the protestors protested because they didn't want to pay. They may have been thinking of others when calling unfair, as you say: socialism is about society not yourself
Down under, the BBC equivalent is funded from taxpayer government budget dosh
A bit like a license fee then. The licence fee is basically a hypothecated tax. It's a bit rough round the edges i.e. only tv owners pay it but other people benefit (BBCi and radio spring to mind). Not based on income etc
don't tell me they can detect multiple oscillators too
Actually they don't bother - they have a list of addresses that have paid the fee and assume everybody should have a license - like I said it's a bit rough round the edges. Last I head they had 4 active vans!
If you are going to be pedantic can you clear up this issue as it keeps getting mentioned on/. you see I'm not sure they are mutually exclusive. From the concise OED -
Republic:- A state in which supreme power is held by the people or its elected representatives or by elected or nominated president.
Demoncracy:-(A State having) government by all the people, direct or representative.
So USA is a republic and UK is a monarchy. Both are representative (not direct) democracies. Although you could argue a country that has a non-elected head of state cannot be a democracy.
The interesting question is when does a state become a democracy - voting age, gender, the amount of money/land have all been barriers to voting in the UK until relatively (1920's) recently.
I don't think it works like that. A copyright law protects the author from unauthorised copying within the jurisdiction of the law. So, if the UK had a copyright law and an authors work was being illegally copied, in the UK, then that author could take the person copying to court - in the UK. If however the copying happened in a country without copyright law then the author has no recourse.
You can see the problem if countries have dfferent copyright periods - hence the, rather sensible, desire to unify copyright.

Extract the additional stuff we get: "otherwise to avoid a technological measure"
If the measure isn't there you can't avoid it. My reading is that it's not saying
"avoid having a technological measure"
