IANAL but I believe we have law on the statute book in the UK anyway that means you can be charged for refusing to hand over your encryption key. At that point 90 days to crack your encryption becomes irelevant - you either dont have any, or you do and hand over the key, or you do and refuse to hand over the key in which case you could be charged and then they have you for as long as they want.
The justification is not the amount of time it would take to decrypt your hard drive - its the amount of time it would take to sift a hard drive for useful information. The argument being that a 100Gb hard drive oculd hold a lot of documents, which all have to be read.
There are also arguments in terms of non-IT issues. Say you arrest someone and need to search a premises, but its packed full of explosives. It took the bomb squad TWO WEEKS to make a bomb factory safe enough for forensics to get in to following July 7.
Having said that - I think 28 days is plenty.
I have a pet Crow. Its not that tough, so I was thinking of getting it a domain name. Say, MyCrowSoft. Just send me the xbox now and I wont even bother.
Awful. Take off, fly over some "mountains" for 5 minutes, land. Sometimes youd have an engine fire while over the mountains, and have to hit the extinguishers. Which then put the fire out. That was it.
Because you can give your card to some other guy you work with, and he can swipe/punch you in. This is basicly a new way for bosses to express distrust of their workforce - or acknowledge that the jobs are so shitty, that people will try to skip out.
Resorting to European Human Rights law is not new - it is just that previouslyt you had to go to Brussles to do it.
In some respects I agree. I think we are moving towards the need for a constitution, but mainly because of the massive changes being wrought on it by the current and recent governments. The alterations to the role of Lord Chancelor are a good example. That was somthing that needed changing, but it was changed in a hurry without proper consultation and without being thought through.
Errr flaimbait? Your post is factually correct in that there is no written constitution in the UK, but after that its all downhill. Its not there, because it has never proved to be required.
There is a complex, mature, respected legal system that works on a vast body of case law. It is simply not the case that the government can make up stupid laws and them expect the courst to just go ahead and enforce them. Plenty of Home secretaries (including David Blunket, the current one) have attempted to psuh trhough measures only for them to be brought up short by the courts.
Haha, yes how clever you are - typos invalidate my point! How didnt I think of that? Thank you for pointing that out Mr... oh, wait you were an AC. Now how will I give you the gratitude you deserve?
Different sizes are imporant too. With Sterling and Euro notes, each denomination is a different size, to help the visualy impaired, while all dollar bills are the same size. The same thing goes for coins - and when coins are of similar sizes they have a different texture on the edge.
The problem with all MMORPGS as I see it, is that you can come up with the an amazing, dark, intriguing background, and your game will still be full of 13 year old kidz who in5i57 on 1337 haXX0r speek.
Have you any idea how irresponsible this is. I was shocked, and showed it to my Irish co-worker just to check it wasnt just me. He too was shocked and said "whoever thinks that is cool should go live in Belfast for a while" which I think just about sums it up.
Im not sure which is most irresponsible. Making the thing, doing a website about the thing, or publicising the thing as being "cool".

They want to take our development tools! I say we take a leaf out of Charlton Hestons book and start the National Compiler Association.
You can prise gcc from my cold, dead hard drive!

The IO code uses stuff found in the microsoft.visualbasic namespace, instead of stuff from the system.io namespace.
In fact IMHO its not even good code for IO in VB6 terms, in that you could use Scripting Runtime to get much nicer file manipulation / IO.
Those ToCs dont. However;
Before delivery, you will be required to complete a written agreement, either by post or online.
Those ones will. There will be no free lunch.
At least you tried - mostly they just pointed and sniggered ;)

Not cynical, observant.
.net framework based language (ala c#, vb.net) based around file handling, which is actually quite a cool idea.
To me it looks like a

"numerous security advisory fixes"
At first I read that as "humerous". But of course this isnt Windows we are atalking about. eyethangyoo.
