I seem to remember at least one society at University (I think it was the Economics Society or similar) that only existed so that the members could take turns holding various posts so they could put it on their CVs. I don't think they ever did anything other than hold meetings to decide who was going to do what for the next month.
Using signature fields in PDFs can work pretty well - especially if you use an Adobe-rooted certifying signature applied to the whole document. Not open and not cheap though.
Dounreay was more of a research location rather than a site for large scale power generation - the main nuclear power stations in Scotland are fairly close to cities (Edinburgh for Torness and Glasgow for Hunterston). It is a bit of a give away that it's about as far as you can get from London and still be on the mainland and have reasonable communication links.
I used to have the same attitude about JavaScript - then I learned jQuery and got more familiar with the language and I really like it now - it has some serious quirks but at the core it is one neat little language.
The US does not have "ownership" of UK nukes and certainly doesn't have hard controls that could stop them being used if the UK wanted to but the US didn't. Royal Navy Trident submarine commanders still have the ability to launch under their own authority (albeit with plenty of procedural controls, involving hand written letters and BBC Radio 4).
You do realize that Europe (10,180,000 km2) is larger than the United States (9,826,675 km2)? Of course, the EU is smaller than that, but the EU isn't Europe.
Yeah - that would be pretty interesting. Presumably the only reasonable inference that could be made if the NSA have deprecated RSA-style crypto is that they suspect/know that it has some real flaws that are much more serious than the type described in this article.
I knew a company that did maintenance of old control systems for industrial plant - into the 1990's they were having to maintain mini/mainframe kit from the 1960s.
Some devices booted from paper tape and, over the years, the paper tape had worn out so it had been replaced with leather tape....
Not a big majority and in a seat that I suspect will have a lot of strong feeling on this topic (particularly students). For £500 it might be worth standing as a Pirate myself.....:-)
I had been contemplating voting Liberal Democrat as they seemed to have at least one MP who actually has a clue (Vince Cable) - which is one more than the other parties can muster.
I'll go and read up on this and if they did table this then that's my vote going somewhere else... of to check the Pirate Party site to see if they are going to have a candidate here at the next general election.
I don't think that Opera the company would ever intentionally abuse this situation - but what about if their servers are compromised, digruntled employees etc.
Would I check my personal email this way? Yes. Would I recommend to someone that they confirm multi million pounds transactions through this route (and I do know people who do this daily) - probably not.
But it's not an end-to-end encrypted connection - there are two, one from the server to Opera's servers and another one from their servers to the browser.
Would I trust Opera Software to be an intermediary in all transactions I did online with visibility of all of my secrets? In all honest, probably not. But that might not stop me using Opera - it would just stop me from doing anything that I want to keep reasonably secret on it.
I did a Computer Science degree in the '80s and there was very little attempt to be vocational - quite rightly so in my opinion. Of course, we did a lot of programming, but that was rather incidental to the fact that we were being educated about a subject, not trained as programmers. There is actually very little correlation in my experience between "knowing your stuff" in an academic sense and being an effective developer in most organisations.

In the UK you are perfectly able to go elsewhere to a private hospital - you just have to have private insurance or pay cash.
Airstrip Troopers?
Wasn't there a manual that was a print out of the assembly for the ROMs - or I did imagine that?
Navision isn't really that big - it's meant for fairly small implementations. SAP - that is large.

So what, I can factor large primes in my head!

It is also a security problem, if you try often enough you will start getting other peoples files back as well.
So are the Pirate Party seriously looking for candidates? I live in Edinburgh North & Leith.

Indeed, and guess where the encrypted connection terminates when you access your bank website?
And if someone had made him up nobody would have believed it.
I don't think there is such a status as "Royal" in the UK system - either you are a Commoner, a Peer or the Sovereign.
Indeed, the High Court (actually High Court of Justiciary) is the senior criminal court in Scotland, civil cases being in the Court of Session.

Finally, a decent reason to have a manned space program!
