"There's something devilishly simple about the web on a theoretical level: create a network of wires, put a terminal in every home and business, and share information on top of it."
Mmm, I'm pretty sure this is called "The Internet". Also I'm not sure how Napster and AudioGalaxy related to the Web, given they used proprietary protocols. As the Wired article stats, the terms "Web" and "Internet" are now considered pretty much synonymous by the general public. And lazy journalists.
Not quite - Coulson was HER replacement as editor of the News of the World. However I was wrong too - Rebekah Brooks is on record as saying police were bribed during her time as editor, NOT that phones were hacked.
Of course police bribery is hardly any less serious than phone hacking, if not as immediately shocking as hacking the phone of a dead girl.
This is a particularly disgusting example of a very common practice within UK tabloid newspapers. I wish we could single out the News of the World but in fact the tabloids in general have all been up to it.
The interesting thing here is that Rebekah Brooks, who currently heads up News International in the UK, was editor of the News of the World when the phone was hacked and she is on record as saying she knew about phone hacking from back then. It is pretty likely (despite her protestations) that she knew what was going on - editors do - and it will be interesting to see how News Corp react to this with respect to her. She is one of Rupert Murdoch's favourites and all along they have been protecting her but we'll see what happens now.
Let me get this straight, it is easy to argue Democrat supporters are racist because of what some Democrats supported decades and decades ago? Would you find it easy to argue white is black and night is day too?
I have some shelves with box files containing all important paper documents.There is no way I am trusting my own electronic storage to hold the data as it is still way too fragile and scanning everything is a massive chore. Your time should be worth more than that. Far more efficient to keep the paper and shred years later.
For electronic stuff it tends to be things kept on the systems of the bank or utility company so I only have to login to their systems to get hold of it.
Don't be amazed - it is rapidly emerging that senior police officers had dinner with people from the press. The reason it has taken so long to look into this may well be related to the Met trying to cover it up on behalf of their friends at News International.
The summary is wrong. The article does not actually say they can't store hashed passwords. Yet another highly inaccurate summary to throw those who have not actually read TFA.
Hah. Brian Cox, as good a communicator as he is, feels a bit dumbed down in his programmes. I kind of get the feeling he'd like to go into a bit more scientific depth but clearly can't due to restraints to keep it "for the masses".
The History of Unix is not going to be an interesting story for a non-computing person. It just isn't. I would challenge you to describe it in a way that is both accurate *and* interesting.
Um, it's called CET because those were the countries who had adopted it at the time. It's not some restriction on who is allowed to adopt it in future.

Do you mean television hard man Ross Kemp? :)
Personally? Not on me, no. Have others witnessed it? Yes. I mean people who worked for those papers.

Not everyone has permanent Internet connectivity for their laptops.
No it hasn't. We're talking about a pure JavaScript decoder.
I can't think of any British accent that would say floushlight.
Not if you want translucent PNGs for a background.
You mean Kelvin MacKenzie and no it is not him. Kelvin apparently told a Sun reader about Ryan Giggs.
He is a midfielder for Manchester City. He is nowhere near as good as Ryan Giggs. Either on the pitch or in generating the Streisand Effect.
The journalist is Giles Coren and the footballer is Gareth Barry. So I read on a website.

The government don't then print what they heard in a national newspaper. Not excusing any misdirected government snooping of course.
Just enjoying the fact that the News of the Screws is getting the kicking it deserves.
At this rate we will find out in 2047

Are you saying MySQL does not escape the delimiter characters within values passed to the LIKE operator?
I would like to nominate Jumpin' Jack Flash as even worse.
It was kind of kitsch though and clearly not at all serious.

Uh-huh. But only because Cray would not let them use their name.

Now THAT is funny. Please comment more often.
