The impression I was left with at the end was the number 6 actually had a hand in the design of the Vilage, and was in there to test if it really was escape proof. Could be wrong - interpret it as you will.
I let them choose their own passwords - the only requirement is length (8 characters) and standard Microsoft complexity i.e. upper, lower, numeric and punctuation characters. I hoped that they could remember things like Bayleaf1 but no, it doesn't seem to work that way. So either they write them down or every few weeks I get a call asking me to reset the password because they have forgotten it. I don't mind if they write the password down, if only they would hide it!
Where I work, I seem to get three levels of password security. The worst are the ones who write their password on a post-it note and stick it on the monitor. The second level are the ones who write it in a notepad and put it in their desk drawer. The really smart ones write it in a notepad and put that in their bottom drawer. Sometimes I wonder why I bother.
No, we would probably spell it oxygin - and serve it with tonic so you would carry bottles of the stuff on a spaceship rather than tanks. Trouble is, you had better not get pulled over after landing, you would probably fail the breath test.
Unfortunately there is no country in the world who could build a rocket (unless they allowed something like an Orion) big enough to carry all the lawyers.
The lie being that if the US government spend loads of money on checking on people who come into the country by air, this will have any effect on terrorists at all? As I see it, the known terrorists would all be planners, the operatives aren't expected to last long anyway (life expectancy as a human bomb is not good). So, unless you have some way to identify a person, who has never been heard of before, as a fanatic, you have no hope of catching anybody this way. Even then, terror operations can take weeks or months to plan and execute, whats to stop them from coming in via Mexico for example? So if the people involved in it lie, are you surprised?

Costumers? Is this only for the fashion industry then?
Or the British wild game dishes, like the rabbit I had yesterday or the venison I am going to have today. Both bought from my local market in the west midlands (also available from a number of butchers round here).
Good question. Suprisingly yes - simply because they could sneak in signatures to catch all the exploits that use holes in their software without having to publicise them. The only trouble that I have with the idea is that they would integrate it into the operating system, for the sake of efficiency of course, and introduce more bugs!
Somebody wins, other person says 5 lines of script blew me away, so lets see how the courts handle things. Who runs the US of A whilst we wait for this to be cleared up (and how long will that take)?
Problem with some cheap firewalls (I have a Netgear ProSafe) is that they default to enabling all outbound services, just like the Microsoft one. Does the average user know what ports they need to close? Probably not so not only is cost involved but education (for the manufacturers, not the users) is also required. Still, with the manufacturers you have a much smaller target.
I agree that in an ideal world, anti-virus etc software would be available for free, but I do not think that tax dollars is the solution. Why? Simply because the Internet is a worldwide public resource - being British I would be happy for you to pay for it, but do not think that would be fair. Now if Microsoft had to pay for it that would be another matter but that raises another point. The current anti-virus software authors would raise a stink about it (a freebie from M$ would do them out of business and they would raise cries of monopolies, tie the process up in the courts and therefore we would never get the product). So I cannot see a simple solution at this time.

Isn't that Lord Lichfield (as a resident of Lichfield I hope so).

Now that would be an interesting question. I wonder if he would be able to answer it truthfully?
In Microsoft's case, I read RSS as Repetitive Strain Syndrome.
No, the melted snow made the ground quite moist. Really they splashed down in the steppes.
Yes, but just think how easy it will be to loose weight.

I've heard of ploughing the sea, but I never realised that pirates had to harvest it as well. You learn something new every day.
Is it just me who finds it ironic that IBM, for whom the phrase Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt was coined for, now being portrayed as the good guys?
