How about paying with credit card via mobile phone either SMS or voice menu and the customer writes a number corresponding to the transaction on a piece of paper to go on the dash which can then be verified by a ticket checker using a mobile device. The ticket would be specific to your number plate and the billing system could even include other types of payment (even billing to your mobile account, paypal, webcredit, etc). Sounds pretty easy really.
I don't think Apple can brush this one under the carpet. What if this were to have happend inside an airoplane at 30,000ft. No so much the explosion but the toxic, carcinogenic fumes would inevitably be curculated around the aircraft explosing 100+ passengers and those in direct contact with the ipod could suffer serious burns, eye damage, etc. To place a gag order on those effected as a messure to cover up the defect is pure negligence and would leave them open to possibly pay huge settlements for future incidents. Seems smarter to issue a warning / disclaimer than to leave yourself open. I doubt it would seriously effect sales, people would still buy them anyway.
yeah I realized that after I posted lol. Originally saw Kingston which is near. Well, that all sucks then. Good time to start up a competing ISP there then? Surely there can't be just one? Really?
It's not like internet access is expensive or hard to get in Hull. Internet is peanuts in and around London. Why persecuted users wouldn't move on to a friendlier ISP without this harsh tone I don't know. This ISP looks like they are hard up for cash and can't pay for bandwidth and/or to stupid to install some traffic management, or run by some blind do-gooders. Either way, they'll loose. Plenty more ISP's to sign up with who don't harass their customers like that. If it were me, I'd tell Karoo to kram it sideways.
There is a way of playing back voicemail messages that bypasses all security checks that I found out accidentally using a friends asterisk box. You need a proper telco trunk to it which I don't think is too hard to get (he works for a local phone company). If I remember correctly, it works by setting your trunk ID to the mobile phone or land line number you want to hack on the asterisk box. The phone system thinks it's the mobile itself calling when you dial the same mobile number through the trunk and automatically starts the message bank. was quite fun tho totally illegal since you are forging numbers through the public phone system. great party trick and good way to have some fun with your mates.
Looks like the FTC has finally got the ball rolling when it filed a suit on the 13th of May; http://www.ftc.gov/os/caselist/0823263/090514voicetouchcmpt.pdf.. Interestingly tho this scam looks to have been going on for over a year now. Pretty slack for such a large and blatant operation.
All depends on the job your applying for but generally as long as you have a basic qualification, real life work experience is what is valued the most. Best to decide which area of IT you like most and try to find a position that will give you some nice projects, etc to put on your resume. Employer love to see potential employees who have broken new ground in the area that they want to employ them. Qualifications are more valuable if your applying to a large corporation that's more interested in what's on paper and usually suck to work for anyway.
Really, how hard is it to put together a secure e-voting system? I mean seriously, it's the kind of thing you would do for an assignment as a 2nd or 3rd year computer science student. I fail to see how these private companies can botch up such a simple concept as much as they have unless they've done it intentionally. What is stopping the adoption of a transparent open source system. Developed and refined by the open source community, free to be scrutinised by the best and brightest? The point of it being open source is so that everyone can feel safe that the system isn't being manipulated and/or rigged.. *cough cough* Diebold.. A secret proprietary system is what you would expect to see in a country under a dictatorship, not in a supposed "land of the free" democracy.
I'ts sad but a good thing. If you can't provide a transparent system, dont bother. The Diebold proprietry legacy should never have been approved and has set America back as a free voting nation. I would love to see a good doco on the whole fiasco. Or mabye not? It will be interesting to see how history reflects on this years from now. Such a wasted opportunity to modernise democracy.

yes, a very shady approach to say the least. It's a response to the opposition government who want to build theyre own infrastructure with telcos outside of current government favourite, Telstra.

So arguably it could mean "Church bell hits for jesus?"
I carry just a CD wallet to support jobs which has a pouch for a 3.5" drive and IDE cable, holds 20 CD's and a pocket for a receipt book. It also fits a screwdriver in the top. All in all it cost about $10 and is great for first inspections and is usualy all I need for most jobs. I also have a 2gig memory stick on my keyring for transfers. Any other tools & components, network test/crimpers, cables, spare drives, ram, etc I keep in the car as they are usualy only needed for specific applications. I also carry a PDA with GPS to find places and record job info and it also has wireless for emergency googling. I have a laptop as well in a small road case for network troubleshooting but that is something I would only take if required. Travel lite is the trick and take only what you need. The more you take onsite the more you have to carry or accidently leave behind.
Oh and this might also be worth checking out:

This box contains everything you need to turn your computer into a powerful 24-bit/96kHz digital audio workstation. The 2408mk3 provides 8 channels of pristine 96kHz analog recording and playback, combined with 24 channels of ADAT and Tascam digital I/O - the most ever offered in a single rack space audio interface. Connect up to four interfaces to the included PCI-424 card for an expanded system capable of 96 simultaneous active input and output connections at 96kHz.
This is a product a friend uses and should do what you need and works well with cubase. There is only a 6 channel version for what i can see, im pretty sure his was 8. Possibly discontinued?

this is abit of a gray area. you could however improve your chances of the court siding with you if you simply use a 802.11b as apposed to 11g, set a wep password (shows you have made an attempt to secure your connection) and then claim you must have been hacked by a war driver with something like airsnort, which you never knew about until you were *hacked* and an additional "the guy at the shop said it was secure" would make it hard for them to prove you had knowledge of the alledged infringement/security hole and attualy have a judge agree that you need a legal kick in the pants. Or you could just bum off your neighbours network:)
i tell my friends that a slab of beer will do nicely as its usualy the best thing after several painstaking hours of windows shinanigans.. but money buys beer so i have no problem with taking that instead and heading down to the local.
