  1. Try HTTPS first on The Gaping Holes In the UAE's Net Firewall · · Score: 1

    HTTPS was unfiltered (not sure if its still true), any website that had a secure part could be easily got to.

    Had friends who liked to gamble, they couldn't access the front page of their favourite gambling site, but could go the login page and access their accounts.

  2. Re:Accepting the fiction as truth.... on 7 Scientific Reasons a Zombie Outbreak Would Fail · · Score: 1

  3. Re:that's UAE's internal matter on Plotting a Coup In the Internet Age · · Score: 1

    Not sure what power he's being returned to. His dad, Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammad al-Qassim, is the current ruler and has been since 1948. Sheikh Khalid was only Crown Prince, so even if he got that back, how much power would he have.

    Could be interesting in a couple of weeks when I visit :)

  17. Re:Tea & Cake? on RFID Tech Infiltrating a British Institution · · Score: 1

    Tip top old boy, dont worry about the riff raff that pollute this here story.

    When one is a quintessential english gentleman, one has to rise above the this level of annoyance, and pity the little people in there dull and boring lives.
