    Amen to that!

    Duh, sorry!

    I'm from "up t'north", if that excuses my ignorance at all :)

    http://www.airportguides.co.uk/guides/heathrow/fac tsandfigures.html

    64e6 passengers per year = 175,000 passengers per day.

    Pretend these are all commercial 737s with 130 seats, all filled. That's 1349 flights per day which is pretty much one per minute (1440 minutes per day). Having once stayed with a friend whose house was in the flight path, that seems feasible!

    Plus, London has "three" major airports - Heathrow, Gatwick and Luton (not really London, IMHO). There's also "London city airport" too, but that's pretty small.

    Worst natural disaster? There was this little thing called the "tsunami", on Dec 26 2004...

    There is also Ability office too, which at £40 is pretty decent. Loads fast, has the right features, saves/loads MS Office-compatible files, and has support and can be installed legally on all home PCs etc etc etc.

    After using Linux since 1998, maybe he just needs some sleep.

    Also Maildir is much better for backup/recovery of messages. rsync or rsnapshot work beautifully with Maildir. Performance from LookOut! is better too.

    Laugh, it's funny. Honestly.

  10. Re:On the other hand... on Firefox Hits 80,000,000 Downloads · · Score: 1

    Did you steal my USB flash disk? Yours sounds pretty much like mine. I also have PuTTY raw executable for ssh and tunnelling. Lastly, I also carry a few of the bigger post-sp2 windows updates files as stand-alone executables.

    Sorry, meant to post this link

  12. Re:US cops are radar freaks? on Aussie Speed Cameras in Doubt Because of MD5 · · Score: 1

    This is true; in Coventry, the speed cameras on our ring road were *removed* as they were not contributing to road safety, despite them being good revenue-earners.

  13. Re:Egress Filtering on Darkmail Attacks - The Next Network Threat? · · Score: 1

    In a corporate environment, you're typically using windows in a domain/AD context. Group Policies are simple and effective ways of setting the proxy configuration across the entire company, and - if set correctly - can't be changed by the users.

  16. Re:Outstanding on Longhorn to Require Monitor-Based DRM · · Score: 1

    Indeed, look at the quality of the films you can (apparently) download off the internet. They're tiny, grainy, poor audio, have people walking in front of the camera and STILL people buy these copies at car boots et. al.

  17. Re:Useless for a lot of people. on New Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows · · Score: 2, Insightful
    With the greatest of respect, TFA says:

    Shared computers are commonly found in schools, libraries, Internet and gaming cafés, community centers, and other locations.

    If you're running a lab with 100 terminals, you should already using group policies.

    Group policies address the needs for a particular market sector. This lock-down tool addresses the needs of another market sector. They do appear to be trying to do "the right thing"!

    Sorry for the dupe. Teach me to forget to relaunch my mail client.

    What the fuck does that mean? Never mind a casual search to ensure he's not posting a dupe, he doesn't even appear to READ the fucking site?

  21. Re:I love challenge/response! on Sites Leaking Users' Email Addresses · · Score: 1
    I too use greylistd, and can vouch for its effectiveness. It can be a bit of a pain at first, as all email gets delayed by an hour (default) until the "triplet" is learned about.

    The upside and evidence is that my spamassassin logs are practically empty as a result of about a fortnight with greylistd.

  22. Re:Cost... on Trans-Atlantic ID Card System · · Score: 2, Interesting
    I know few police officers, and NONE of them have ever said, or heard any of their fellow officers say, that they wished the general public carried ID cards.

    The cards will be a burden for "normal" people (they WILL be stolen/forged/abused) and a godsend for criminals (people smugglers, ID theft etc.)

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/ross/playlist.sh tmlRadio 2 has a reviewable list. Jonathan Ross does play some pretty obscure music sometimes.

  25. Re:I want it all... on Simple Cross-Platform File Sharing with Chungles · · Score: 1
    Sorry, mean to finish off with the whole SMB thing. Use OpenVPN if you absolutely must use native Windows networking. It really does work very well.

    Typically you must configure the client to use the server for WINS. Other than that, Outlook/Exchange work just fine, as do RDP, network drives etc.
