Why are British troops putting their lives on the line and why are the British taxpayer spending their money to defend the Afghans who clearly share none of our values?
That's been true for a few years now under "New Labour".
1. "New Labour" made it possible for Police to search your house, without a warrant, if you are arrested. 2. They also made every criminal offence, including littering, an arrestable offence. => Police can make a warrantless search of your house if you litter.
And who decided that EDS were competent to manage the MoD's data? That would be the MoD i.e. the government. So it is the Government that is intrinsically incompetent: they have a history of either handing over vast amounts of private data to untrustworthy companies (EDS, PA Consulting, Capgemini) or of losing it themselves (HMRC, Home Office, SIS).
In law under the Data Protection Act the MoD, not EDS, are the Data Controller and therefore responsible for losing it.
Informative? Doesn't the poster have to be informed first.
Twisted pairs, as one example off the top of my much-better-informed-than-the-parent head would be one solution. Shielding the the conduit through which all the wires pass, rather than the individual wires, would be another. Using fiber-optics would probably be the most obvious as they are practically immune to outside interference.
If this, and the article, are true then that's gross incompetence on the part of the aircraft builders and the authorities that certify them as air worthy.
Consumer radios (wireless lans, mobile phones etc) put out tiny amounts of power, typically milliwatts. If that's really a problem air traffic control radio, nearby commercial radio stations, mobile 'phone masts, all of which pump out far more em, would cause crashes every day.
So I call bullshit on both the article and the parent.
Steve Wozniak is just an (empty) talking head these days. Need a calculator built? He's your man. Anything else? His opinion is worth no more than any other random person on the street.
I have a chair in the corner that I can sit in. As long as you don't need it to move or carry other people or carry stuff then it's exactly the same as my car.
I'm a Mac user and I do use magnification because it lets me shrink the Dock but the magnification means I can mouse-over and quickly find what I need. I also have auto-hiding on. Minimises the space it takes up on the desktop whilst maximising readability.
You've never actually seen OSX have you? The OSX dock has short cuts to apps, shows running apps and can also show/browse folders (by default Documents and Downloads). Running apps can even show information through their icon (eg iPulse).
Not in usability land either. It's those kind of small difference that are found throughout OSX make the difference between an average UI and a great one.
Yes I know OSX isn't perfect (I can rant for days about the awfulness of Safari) but to paraphrase Winston Churchill: OSX is the worst operating system, except for all of the others.
I tried running your comment through Bablefish but even after trying all the major European languages and even Esperanto I couldn't get your post to translate into English.

That's true. I take great joy in pointing out to rabid atheists that they're a bunch of religous nut jobs.
I designed a *major* crypto system for a government tax department: public facing, high profile. I spent 18 months designing, refining and explaining it over and over again (it *is* sometimes hard for people to understand why proper crypto is important). I completely documented the entire system. It went live extremely succesfully.
At that point I left for a 6 month paid sabbatical. When I came back I found my documentation had actually been read and maintained. But the "maintainers" had also stripped my name from every place in it, including the document and review history, and replaced it with their own names!
Names were taken and two people got sacked, and rightly so: you can't afford to have unethical and dishonest people working in that position. (And yes unethical behaviour was a reason cited for dismissing them: like to see them get a job in any secure site in future).
Violent crime in the US is still much, much higher than it is in the UK precisely because, I am glad to say, we're still prepared to do something about it.
I'd like to see them go much further and hand over the evidence to the police.
Failing to report a crime (unlicensed possession of a firearm) is a criminal offence: never mind threatening behaviour, intent to commit or actual assault.
Comp sci/programming methodology is just java programming course:-(
Comp sci/programing abstractions is a C++ programming course, ok that's a bit unfair, but why they chose C++ rather than C I don't know. They've got "OO" covered by the Java programming course, there doesn't seem to be any advantage to using C++ rather than C given the material covered (eg linked lists) and C++ is "nastier" than C.
Comp sci/programming paradigms. Hooray! What appears to be a proper comp sci course at last.
So, Stanford, drop the Java programming course, switch the abstractions course to use mostly C with a touch of C++ to cover OO and keep the paradigms course and you'll have a proper comp sci course.

Troops out now and let evolution take its course.
More importantly, what DRM will be stealthily included when you install this EA game?
So the point you are trying to make in a very laboured manner is that you agree with me. New Labour are the party of repression.

"New" Labour, Old Communist party.
So I'm traveeling by train or a passenger in a car and this system will disable my 'phone?
Does make you wonder if there's any intellect behind some of this intellectual property.
Firstly, how do you know it's defective? And secondly, why on earth did you buy a Best Buy warranty instead of AppleCare?
Their, they're; calm down.

MacOS pre-dates all versions of Windows and even NextStep pre-dates Windows 95.
/. but you're asking for trouble by not checking your facts before trolling in an Apple thread.
I know this is
You've never actually seen OSX have you? The OSX dock has short cuts to apps, shows running apps and can also show/browse folders (by default Documents and Downloads). Running apps can even show information through their icon (eg iPulse).
All in one place.
Not in usability land either. It's those kind of small difference that are found throughout OSX make the difference between an average UI and a great one.

...this really makes me shake my head.
I can't understand why Apple would be so desperate to block third party browser and mail apps. It appears to make no sense.
The Bugatti Phaeron is another example. It costs VW ca £7M to make one, and they sell them for £800K.
