"Provide access to your computer passwords"......
I don't remember my solicitors exact words offhand, but his point was, give the location of your passwords in your will.
Granted though..... some lawyers could use this an a money making opportunity!
Trust the law society to give skewed advice:-)
I was sorting out a will recently and even my non-clued up solicitor (US=lawyer) recommended putting passwords in my sealed will. Apparently, this is a standard recommendation from the law society for every will written in the UK.
Without a doubt, every other country on planet Earth must have it's lawyers recommend something similar.
That parliament only voted for war because Tony Blair (subsequently one of the most vilified prime ministers in modern times) outright lied to parliament. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodgey_Dossier
Sorry to bust your bubble.... but Britain & the rest of Europe isn't prepared to unilaterally support the US in war as you seem to believe. Thankfully, support for such wars is very much lacking by the majority of educated, intelligent Americans in your own country too.
Because of this, people who might have been acquitted because of lack of evidence, or who are in fact truly innocent, will often plead guilty to a charge. Why? In a word, fear.
Theoretical work based on the prisoner's dilemma is one reason why, in many countries (including mine), plea bargaining is illegal.
but today's reality is that the Internet is increasingly centralized, with tremendous amounts of personal information held by a relatively small number of players
people keep forgetting that it's primary goal is to be entertaining enough to induce people to part with their hard earned cash.
So, you are saying that Picasso only ever painted pictures to make cash?
That Michael Jackson only danced to make money?
That Mary Shelly only wrote Frankenstein to make a few extra notes?
I can assure you many people are driven by more than money...... I mean, have you ever wondered why kids climb trees?
Hmmmmm I don't suppose by any chance, you vote republican?
Progressive rock in many cases has tried to replicate, though not often with as much success, the complexity and diversity of classical forms.
Eh ?
Look mate....... All the truly great music, anything from Beethoven to the Rolling Stones, sounds very simple, but when you break it down you realise it's actually very complex.
Prog Rock on the other hand, sounds very complex, but when you break it down you realise it's moronic.:-)
In Profiles of the Future, he pointed out that within my lifetime, it would become a serious offence to drive a car yourself on a public road..... and not have a computer drive for you.
Of course, racetracks would still exist for Freudian reasons:-)
However, operating a car manually on public roads will undoubtedly become an offence equivalent to drunk driving. Whether you agree or disagree with Dr Clarkes time-line, you have to agree, that this IS what will happen in years to come.

That's like a lessee changing the locks and locking a landlord out of their apartment.
I can assure you, this is quite normal and perfectly legal behaviour in the UK and indeed, much of Europe. Whilst you are renting, you have exclusive access, and the landlord would be committing an act of trespass if they entered your apartment without your permission and 24hrs notice. (Except in an emergency obviously).
In some parts of Scotland, the landlord might also get a smack in the mouth into the bargain:-)
Similarly, I can think of plenty of examples where only exclusive access to a hosted server would be acceptable (perhaps even legal), due to strict security or data protection requirements.
Arthur C Clarkes "Profiles of the Future" is the last word on this. First published in 1962, it's predictions are amazingly accurate. It is a must for any geek bookshelf and I'm amazed so few have read it.
The (few!) things he did get wrong, he followed up in later editions of the book along with good explanations as to why that particular technology came about sooner / later than he predicted.
"I am a board member of a newly started association that are going to build fiber-optic network in rural Sweden."
That is interesting.
I seam to recall that Finland (with a similar low rural population density) was committed to providing broadband for all it's citizens. Has Sweden done the same and/or do you get any other support from the Swedish government?
I would suggest broadband is as important for economic growth as a functioning road/rail network. I'm surprised so few governments are putting up public money where appropriate.
Household voltages are dangerous, but not nearly as much as people like to think, especially the 110 volt stuff.
It amazed me how casually an American friend was poking around inside some live kit. A polite reminder that EU mains voltage is 230v (rather than the 110v he was used to), and kills very easily, made him much more careful.
And yes, circuit breakers are fitted by law, but you wouldn't want to trust your life to a machine not failing would you:-)
"There are 621 ghost estates across the Irish Republic now......."
"One in five Irish homes is unoccupied......."
"demolition could be part of the solution in cases where we have housing estates that are unoccupied"
"If the country immediately used them to house every person on the social housing list, there would still be hundreds of thousands left over. "
In the UK there are now three stages of Ham licence.
FOUNDATION: Covers basic electronics and radio usage, gets you on the air.
INTERMEDIATE: This has a practical electronics course attached where you solder up electronics kit under supervision, with lots of friendly help on the way. (I remember building signal generators & amplifiers from scratch) I can't think of a better or cheaper introduction to DIY electronics in the UK.... even if you don't like radio.
ADVANCED: No practical course, just an electronics/radio exam to study for.
An amateur radio club is an excellent place to meet people with similar interests, and in the intermediate classes, you will meet people at your skill level. Look here for a club&course near you.
