"While the Spanish Armada battle itself was not decisive, it nonetheless did serve as an inspiration for future English sailors and naval commanders.

"Ignoring a chance to attack the English off Plymouth, the Spanish sailed on up the Channel while the English pecked away at them. Although these attacks did little damage, they induced the Spaniards to fire all their heavy shot with no telling effects on the English. When the Spaniards anchored in Calais, the English forced them out by floating several burning hulks down on them during the night. The next day the combined English and Dutch fleets attacked the Armada and might have crushed it had they possessed ample powder and shot. After this upsetting blow, the demoralized Spaniards fled north and rounded the British Isles to the Atlantic. There, storms nearly succeeded in finishing what the English had started."
But I take your point - British power at the time really was quite small, and the Spanish, with their pieces of eight, continued to be a massive naval power for a few good years.
no - you've got it arse-backwards.. It's about having a device, like a Treo say, where the display screen actually unfolds & unfurls to the size of a small jazz-magazine.

Hi
Woefully off-topic, but could you tell me what solution you used to do that? I've been looking at a few & would appreciate feedback from how other non-profits handle this problem.
I know it doesn't address the underlying issue, but you might want to give uknova a whirl. Their policy is to only allow torrents of uk tv unavailable on DVD/VHS.
Your blog says you work for in Government. You say you have 'ICT-Security' in your job title, and you really don't know why those things are banned, or limited in your workplace..?
Are you serious, or is that flamebait?
If you really are serious, I'd suggest you get yourself booked on a www.sans.org course asap.
I've neither the time or energy to help you do what you say your job is, but I can help you on stage one. Grab the back of your head, and pull. Pull really hard until it's 100% out of your ass.
I'm not annoyed because you're a user, legitimately asking why restrictions are in place. I'm annoyed because you say you work in ICT security & yet see sensible policies as some kind of 'battle'.

To say the defeat of the armada was circumstantial is overlooking the tactics at work. From http://www.historybuff.com/library/refarmada4.html

Erm.. At the time of the Spanish Armarda, I don't think Britain was merely a plucky little upstart.. :)
