Well, maybe you could register both the screenname AND the site where it's used. That should make for a unique combination, wouldn't you say?
As usual, this coverage blurs the software/hardware aspects of thin clients. While Citrix etc. use is fairly widespread, the client software is typically running on a standard PC, not dedicated dumb termial client hardware.
Although this model does give the advantages (and disadvantages) of centralized administration, it certainly doesn't meaningfully reduce the client hardware TCO.
So you're saying some invalid entries aren't displayed? I think it probably goes a bit further than that - you'll find ALL invalid entries aren't displayed. This should not come as a surprise.
I couldn't possibly comment on US Airport security, other than that my impressions were it's more about intimidation and theatrics - of a type that wouldn't affect any real threat - than security.
The story is about the UK government's computer security. There may well have been security breaches in the past, but a kid getting on a plane 5000 miles away isn't an example.
>If the police can do it, I'll bet your kid's lunch money that your teenage neighbor can as well.
Well, there is the matter of physical access, of course. Lots of police working in Downing Street and other government and party premises on - ostensibly - security/protection duties etc. I'd like to see your "teenage neighbor" stroll in there and connect up a PC...
Might make planes safer, that just makes something else a more attractive target. This constant "closing the door after the horse has bolted" is just throwing money away.
It turns out the concept was finally removed from the law here in 1994 (just after my never-used-since law degree!). The basics are that a recognised outdoor market operating in daylight hours could confer title in stolen goods. There's a bit in Wikipedia here
In the UK title to the stolen goods never passes from the original owner (except in an archaic situation known as market ouvert). The innocent buyer of the stolen goods cannot acquire title to them from someone who has no title to sell ("nemo dat quod non habet"). The innocent buyer does, of course, have a claim against the thief for whatever he paid for the goods, but no claim to the goods themselves.

In fairness, that's on the coast, so it doesn't interrupt the sea view - they can see all the sea there is in that direction, then some other stuff beyond.

Not sure why this wasn't in the BBC article...
In fairness, it is (well, without the.uk, but it redirects there): see "Related Internet Links" in the right-hand column. They always do this, just to emphasise that external links aren't BBC-endorsed etc.
Slashdot Mirror
You can't use a $20,000 commercial link to whip up a tasty and healthy stir-fry. There's a lot of value in that $10 wok.
Don't underestimate the value of a bird that can be commanded to go down at will...
Of *course* changing too often is a bad thing. That's what "too" means.

1337? Shouldn't that be "teh hu|\|Dr3D y3aRz \/\/aR" then?

I'll settle for that :-)
That really isn't what you said, as you well know.

You picked Windows, right?

So, by "No", you mean "Yes, but I wish it were otherwise" or "Yes, but it wasn't like that back in the day"...
>Additionally, it's an affirmative defense, not a right.
That's a trivial distinction (essentially about nothing more than timing within court procedure), as your referenced Wiki article goes on to explain.
Jesus. Which part of "Final" are these clowns having trouble understanding?
As opposed to a ceasefire/co-operation/agreement etc etc. Not all fights play out to the death...

Ah yes, I see what you mean. That is pretty nasty.
The web design's a bit questionable too, to put it mildly...

On a side note, don't you just love those British 3-prong plugs? Just be careful not to step on one in the middle of the night barefoot! :-)
Or, more generally, don't step on anything pointy barefoot. Time of day and intended purpose of the pointy thing are not important.
Try it with Flashblock enabled, gives a far cleaner interface...
