no wireless, and the patient records are on a bespoke NHS system which I wasn't about to fuck with (I ain't touching that trainwreck, which they understood - unsurprisingly since they specified the airgap). If I'd had carte blanche on architecture it'd've been BSD all the way from the back to the front.
that was the brief, they actually thought it wasn't possible to get an up-to-date (as in, less than 24h old) medical reference on an airgapped LAN. The one thing they absolutely didn't want, for reasons of personal data security more than general malware issues (the tablets all run WinME, which was a fixed quantity so I decided to install the server with xp), was an internet connection. Took me just a week to gather the required journals and set up the updates.
that's what TFS was missing, the fact that the biggest criticism of Glass isn't its nerd factor, it's the whole privacy thing. Surely, orders of magnitude more important than how much of dick you look while wearing it?
I set a local private clinic up with its own offline, airgapped copy of the BMJ among other journals and encyclopedias, complete with a dedicated email account set up to receive xml feeds for uploading to flash and dropping onto the clinic server. They were well happy, they can do a full text search for practically anything connected with medicine without going online.

not really. You'll find those are the ones who don't get divorced because they never leave the house, hence they're unlikely to be getting up to anything. Geeks are trustworthy because they're reliable. They're reliable because you always know where you're going to find him.
USB: 5m without repeaters. HDMI: no limit but cables must perform to specifications for certification. Analogue connections (VGA/audio/modem): no limits but watch the quality of the cables all the same - that's not to say go out and buy blue-sheath oxygen free gold-tinned fucking haveanothermortgage cables, just don't expect too much from doorbell wire.
USB won't run more than 5m without a repeater. The primary reason for this limit is the maximum allowed round-trip delay of about 1.5 s. If USB host commands are unanswered by the USB device within the allowed time, the host considers the command lost.* When adding USB device response time, delays from the maximum number of hubs added to the delays from connecting cables, the maximum acceptable delay per cable amounts to 26 ns. The USB 2.0 specification requires that cable delay be less than 5.2 ns per metre (192 000 km/s, which is close to the maximum achievable transmission speed for standard copper wire). HDMI doesn't specify a limit, only that the cable meets performance criteria. So a decent quality cable can run 50, 60 feet for 1080p, upwards of 180 feet for the same batch for 480p.
*There is a hack for this which involves breaking the specification in the driver configuration and allows you to hook a USB link through a Cat5e cable to say, a printer. Not recommended for a hard drive, data loss will certainly occur if you attempt this.
the first line of the section (the header, even) should provide some clue here: "Criminal liability for making or dealing with infringing objects".
Second clue should be clear in paragraph 7, which moves the burden of proof from that of presumption (hence balance of probabilities - where a finding of guilt is based on the finding of fact, not intent) to a burden of evidence (hence to intent: in the present case, did the offender gain by violation?). The fact that I have a hard drive full of music ripped from my own CDs would be enough in a civil proceeding to find that I was distributing (which, as you might guess, is piss easy to achieve - all you need is a directory listing), but in a criminal proceeding the burden of proof would be on the claimant that files trackable to source did in fact come from that hard drive with my knowledge, consent and connivance with the additional intent and evidenced that I made profit from such distribution without written consent or licence from the copyright holder. THAT is bloody difficult to achieve.
I can vouch. I had an eshop in 2000 which carried over 3,000 products (RPG merch), I fit the lot, including images, onto a zip disk. The text portion (basically all that was in the database, the images were stored on the filesystem) fit on a floppy. Or, in the case such as mine that I had my own server on a colo backbone, loaded onto a RAM disk. Holy shit, that was one (relatively speaking) quick server.
yeah I just reimaged an xp box, installed the ITE8212 RAID driver from binary instead of using the reference driver like I usually do - now I got some grey blob in the systray that has no business being there. YES, I KNOW I GOT A RAID INSTALLED, FUCK OFF ALREADY.

In one episode, Lechter flash-freezes a CSI and vertically bisects her body. He sandwiches one half in glass, and vertically bisects the other half, sandwiching the middle quarter in glss and bisecting the outer quarter, sandwiching the middle eighth and bisecting the outer eighth, all the way down until he's got eight sandwiches, then he stands them in a museum atrium for the police to find. I fucking love that show.
the answer to that one is also simplistic: there is no job security in any industry in the Western hemisphere any more except HR management and front line social services. ANYTHING operated in the private sector is a case of looking over your shoulder every minute of every day, because there will be someone as paperskilled as you are but twenty years younger and twenty years lower down the salary expectation, then you're out a job. For work in the public sector, your job security depends on how well you can cover management's arses when shit goes south.
heh... if it wasn't for you commenting I'd've never seen that, just wow what vitriol. I think his mother might not have hugged him enough. Or too much. Either way, AC, you have issues I can't help you with.
