They fixed this in law. The ticket is sent to the registered keeper of the vehicle. If the registered keeper wasn't driving, they have to say who was. If they don't, they get prosecuted under section 172 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 - "Failing to provide Driver Identity".

Looks quite interesting if you're into that whole oop thing.

I'd have to agree with the SCSi comment. Backing up my Xserve to tape burns too much cpu that network connections get dropped. Using the official Apple SCSI card, with Retrospect 5.1 - but it just spends so much time in the kernel that you'd think it was busy waiting.
Thats about the only problem I have with OS-X though - apart from that its pretty solid (and I run the backups in the middle of the night anyway;)
Oh, I agree. I would suggest, that had AOL provided this service from a modem bank in the US, then they would be VAT exempt.
The moment they provided that service from the UK, regardless of where the servers were sat - then I would claim that the service is in the UK as far as the customer is concerned, and VAT should be levied.
You can't have the convenience of giving your customers access via a UK phone number, but claim the service is in the US. IMHO. Shame it took HMG a while to cotton on, and lose all that revenue whilst hurting other UK ISPs that did charge VAT.
AOL has been avoiding paying VAT in the UK for years. They claim that although you dial up and connect to a modem that is in the UK, the "service" is provided in the states. *snort*.
Enforcing heirarchy where there isn't one will make matters much worse. In your example - what happens if you and your neighbour use different providers?
Most people are hoping for later because the problem faced at the moment is multi-homing, and not address space.
In fact, if we can find a way for companies/individuals to multi-home with a single-IP address (or equivilant) without requiring a/19 (to get the various providers to accept the announcement) - we end up conserving IPv4 space.
Some telcos already have that in their software contracts.
Certainly Network Appliance does in the license for the softare on their NASen. Some folks have managed to get that clause struck from the licence though.
I agree. I have no problem with paying, and that payment being passed onto the artist. However, if the 'secure NAP files' prevent me from putting the music that I've paid for into my MP3 player - then they can forget it.
I'm the sole European employee of a US company, so I work from home exclusively.
The main thing I've found important to me is to have my own workspace. Having a separate room in the house which is the 'office' means that when I am in there, I don't get disturbed by the kids - as they know I'm working.
As I'm a coder, I interact with my colleagues via e-mail (or cvs commit messages;), and I don't need to be tied to my desk between certain hours, because there is not much overlap between the UK and the west coast. In fact, my working day skews, so that I have the mornings to myself, and I work later into the evening so I'm around on e-mail when the US folks are in the office.

Its even better than that. They run MacOS-X :)
Anyone remember the plastic lens that the Spectrum version of Elite used? Its described in Crash, but I can't find a picture of it.

grrr. I meant '....they *SHOULD* collect VAT....'
You pay AOL for internet connectivity. AOL have peerings in the UK, they definitely exist in the UK - they collect VAT like every other ISP.

The given example starts with the US country code '1' - so the use of the arpa domain is fine.
All UK numbers would be within 4.4.e164.arpa - as the UK country code is 44.

Certainly iMovie will not work if you store the DV files on a UFS partition.
hsrp is a layer-2 protocol - so won't be affected at all.

Well - 'no adverts' is not quite true, is it? You get fluff for other BBC programs (on other channels (BBC Knowledge) etc.).
You also get adverts for magazines/books/videos tied into the previous program.

I always loved the low-tech v high-tech design decisions that occured on the space program.
When faced with the problem of how to record notes in space, the US spent their dollars and came up with the Space Pen that would write in zero-gee.
The Russians cosmonauts just used a pencil.

Yeah, but its time to hang up 'Undocumented Dos' and move on.

I run IPSEC between my boxes over an E1 (2Mb/s circuit).
You can really notice when they're trying to encrypt a full 2Mb/s of traffic. Mind you - they are only Pentium II machines.
Nicely written analogies making many of the optics issues much easier to grasp.
Of course, its somewhat naive to compare an ISP the size of UUnet to Freeserve - just in terms of dialup locations.
Presumably if they're collecting money from you - then you're going to be pretty traceable.
