The advantage of copper that that devices can run off it but lots of devices can run for weeks on batteries now, and moving to fibre doesn't really change the way communications are done that much. Alarms can probably be cellular now anyway.
Its been raised as an issue with rainwater tanks where I live. The solution seems to be to have a grid of fly wire over all large openings so that the mozzies can't get in and out.
Recently I googled the subject of a slashdot article I was reading. The/. article was the third result from google. So how does google know a new article is up? Is there a special interface for that?
...plus presumably £650 for Oracle Enterprise Database Server...
I would like to know where you are buying your Oracle licenses 'cause I'm paying something like £20000 anually for my Enterprise license (for a quad core, single socket server)
The royal family don't really have anything to do with government. They're more of a tourist attraction. I prefer the zoo, myself.
I don't know about the UK but here in Australia the constitution is a thin booklet which basically says The Queen is in charge of Australia and may or may not decide to take advice from a Parliament which may or may not exist.
I will believe it when I see it. Even now innocent people get leeched for incredibly small ADSL plans. 200MB per month from Telstra. That sort of thing.
No. Liberal here is supposed to refer to people with a somewhat Libertarian outlook. Small government, letting the market take care of things. That sort of thing.
If the police want to use cars, they have to buy them.
Funny this should come up. I worked for the state government in Victoria, Australia (I know, not Sweden, not the Police) and we had an exemption from sales tax. Because of this we made a good profit selling our cars on the second hand market.
More to the point, consider the lengths police go to build databases of car parts and materials. What type of paint was used on what model of car? What type of glass. I would be surprised indeed if the police had to pay for this information. Most likely the manufacturers help them as a matter of mutual interest.
The malware then drops itself into the Windows directory with a file name of CSRSS.EXE, which is identical to a legitimate Windows file. From there, it's 2001 all over again, as the worm attempts to mail itself to all of the contacts in the victim's Outlook address book.
Does the flagging mechanism not notice that the file has changed?
Devils advocate here: is there any reason why a normal non-technical windows user should be able to run an executable in a directory they are able to write to?
So they can run legitimate software they may have downloaded, compiled, or otherwise acquired themselves ?
Perhaps they should just have to explicitly state that they want to run an downloaded program. Enter their password and read a warning. And yeah I kow, if they have to do it all the time they will just click yes without thinking.

The author obviously wants a chunk of the military research budget. Are they going to make the output of their accelerator steerable? Or position one in space at the Lagrange 2 position so it can spray the whole Earth with muons. Sounds like a nice try.

Seems like any piece of wire and a diode will extract a trickle feed of power from the RF bath we live in. Why not just use that?
Because there is not enough, but I suppose you could market a mobile phone which you charge by putting it in the microwave.
They must be good...
What's up with the corks?
The theory is that its the same as swiping the flies away with your hand, but experience shows that hands and corks are equally bad at that.
Wire to keep flies out. You don't have a fly wire door on your house? It must be full of flies.
(its an Australianism, like hats with corks swinging from the brim).

You are a credit to mankind.
I doubt it. That feed is many minutes behind the main page.

650 BGP must be to run on a 386.
The person who makes the first move risks being made shorter by the head, and would have to be prepared to do same to the entire royal family.
Are you, personally, up for that? At least over here we can just vote on it.
if the Queen decides not to go with the advice of Parliament, they'll dissolve the monarchy.
How would they do that? The monarchy dissolved parliament here in 1975 and even the Governor General kept his position.

Are Aussie Liberals the same as US Liberals?
No. Liberal here is supposed to refer to people with a somewhat Libertarian outlook. Small government, letting the market take care of things. That sort of thing.
They don't have the numbers to pass that sort of legislation anymore.
I wonder if any legislation will get passed between now and the next election.

Take a look. You might like it.

What would you call the western side of Antarctica?
Makes sense, Sagan was all about the "organics," man.
Yeah no sex bots for him.
