  1. Bletchley Park on WW2 Hero Who Captured Enigma For Allies Has Died (express.co.uk) · · Score: 4, Informative

    It is the work of the entire operation at Bletchley Park that is credited with shortening the war by up to 2 years. That includes breaking of Enigma, but also the more complex Lorenz cypher. The codebreakers didn't even see a Lorenz machine until after the war was over.

  2. But will they be using ACME accessories? on Chicago Using Coyotes To Fight Rodents · · Score: 1

    This is the important question no one has answered.

  3. That's not the only thing on Porn Sites Pop Up In China · · Score: 5, Funny

    that will be popping up. ;)

  4. Mobileme on Good Email For Kids? · · Score: 1

    Get a mobileme account - $99/£59 a year and almost no spam. You can set up a family pack too for a bit more.

  5. Be afraid on White House Briefed On "Potential For Life" On Mars · · Score: 1

    As we all know, Million to One chances come off nine times out of ten

  6. I like the themes on Best DNS Naming Scheme For Small/Medium Businesses? · · Score: 1

    I used to look after the servers for a company that specialised in medical databases, so all the servers had a medical theme. We started with greek physicians (GALEN) and ended up with Carry-on film doctors (TINKLE).
    In another job I was given the test servers to look after. I decided to use the prefix T (for test) and ended up with: TSHIRT, TTRAY, TCUP, TTOTAL, TSPOON and my favourite - TDIUM

  7. Re:Seriously, what is wrong with the United Kingdo on Total Phone and Email Database Proposed In UK · · Score: 1

    Actually, if you are arrested you have a DNA sample taken regardless. To get your sample removed from te database involves you going to court to ask. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/04/26/dna_database_removal/

  8. I can see a drawback though on HP Skin Patch May Replace Needles · · Score: 1

    The skin patch technology also enables delivery of several drugs by one patch and the control of dosage and of administration time for each drug.
    So as it is an HP product, when one drug runs out, you will have to change the whole patch.

  9. This is UK law on Listening To The Radio At Work? Prepare To Be Sued · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In the UK, the public broadcast of any music requires a licence from the Performing Rights Society. This law covers shops, offices, restaurants and other places of business and the licence costs depend on the type of organisation and the size of the public area. Shops usually have a small sticker in the window to show they have paid.
    For this particular case the cost per annum should be £59.36 + VAT
    The money collected is distributed to its members - the rights holders. This includes the big record companies but also independent musicians.

  10. Thin Clients in libraries on Thin Client Solutions For Libraries? · · Score: 1

    I have extensive experience of using this sort of technology in a library setting and it works, mostly. Your requirement for a floppy disk drive doe limit things a bit and certainly points towards a Citrix based setup with PCs as clients. They can be running DOS or any version of Windows though. I would also recommend DeepFreeze to protect them. Citrix will allow the use of Floppy dirves and locally attached printers. It can easily be used to lock down the applications that you want to make available. You might also want to look at a product that can provide seamless access to external data sources and/or filter internet browsing. An example of this software is NetMan: www.hh-zfrk.com You will need to purchase a server or servers that have adequate capacity to supoprt the number of users you have. Andy
