Seeing as a passport lasts 10 years, I wonder how many will be falling into shreaders / spontaneously combusting before the ID database is set-up, requiring a replacement without regestering.
The problem is not the ID card it's the database, so the deadline to avoid registering has still not moved.
Then again knowing the history of government IT projects the database MIGHT be functional with valid data by 2050 (admittedly valid data for 2010 and only for people who were over 75 at the time, but at least it's 'valid') having only cost the country three times it's GNP. However the junk mail industry will be very happy with the full lists that were leaked to them, organised crime will have new earner and the anyone not working in those two sectors will be working for the civil service maintaining the data.
An advert for a job that I can get over paid for while not actually having to work. The only ones I've found seem to require being elected, knowing someone or mystically getting on the board of a company (How the heck do these people get those directorships that require 1 day a week 'work' and pay six figures?).
So if you spend your time wired and drunk, you won't get Alzheimers.Hmmmm but you still won't remeber anything so it's kinda pointless....... What am I saying, an excuse to get drunk for medical reasons!
If I recall (probably wrongly) didn't the UK test a few nukes there in the 60s? If they can survive that I don't think a space port is going to bother them too much.

Complicity is really good if you live in Edinburgh (where most of it is based), though most of the places are not mentioned by name, you know them....heck the you know the guy used to work for the Scotsman paper, from his discription of the "fictional" paper the main charitor works for.

Or am I just being cynical?

>I understand that for some people it is handy to have source code around, but why are kernels always distributed as source:
Quiet simply to allow people to configure the kernel so they only compile + link what they need for thier hardware, etc
I personally rarly use the generic kernels that come with distros.
