  3. Re:Privacy Issues on UK Government May Switch from MS Office to Open Source · · Score: 2

    No, firewalls and application layer filters would be needed to prevent the use of GoogleDocs, privacy issues won't even get a look-in at the level they're considering especialy as the user'll do what ever works easiest for them regardless. I've seen how UK Local Government works up close.

    When you pay someone to be sneaky and devious, it should't come as a surprise when it turns out they've been sneaky and devious.

  7. Re:Going nowhere on UK Government Surveillance Faces Legal Challenge.. In Secret Court · · Score: 2

    I don't object to survellance by GCHQ, I'd just like it to be targeted rather than blanket ... and carried out _within_ the framework that parliament agreed rather than finding loopholes that allow it to work _outside_ that framework.

    Call me old-fasinoned, but I still believe the only way to ensure that the terrorists don't win is for the country to take it on the chin when terrorists strike and then carry on as normal. Anything else, any knee-jerk reaction, any retalliation, any security or survelliance clamp-down that dissrupts peoples day-to-day lives and the terrorists have already won, they got what they wanted. The trouble is the terrorists aren't the only ones with a vested interest in that outcome.

    well, they are just going to get their asses handed to them when their customers are with out services or/and are in danger because of it. We'll see who is to blame once the smoke clears..

    Probably not. Obviously it's the (cr/h)acker that's to blame. Never mind that _they_ left the front door open.

    Unless you're on ARM, in which case it won't be, so no, it's not always optional.

    Why don't they just shove a tracker up everyone's ass and call it a day?
