An Garda Siochana are the Irish police force. They do exchanges with other police forces around the world. The Irish Army, which is seperate, *does* take part in UN peacekeeping missions, for example they are currently in Liberia.
That's Sarah Flannery you're thinking of. It turned out that after fairly serious and in depth study of the maths behind the encryption scheme, there was a flaw. That's the way science works!
Weird. I recently had serious problems with my Gateway PC, and I have a Palm IIIx with a serial port cradle. First, the serial port stopped working. It would only allow data to be sent in one direction (from the Palm to the PC). I reported this and they agreed that the motherboard would have to be replaced. I tried the Palm + cradle on another PC and it worked fine, so I was sure it was the motherboard. I didn't send it away then because I had work to do for a few weeks, and this wasn't fatal, right? Then over the course of several weeks the motherboard gradually deteriorated. It would hang at random. It had a Via KT133 chipset and the Palm cradle was probably plugged in for most of this period...
Eventually it was totally fuX0r3d when I tried to update the BIOS and it hung half-way through.
The motherboard was replaced and it's working fine now, but I wonder if this was the cause. Anyone else had this problem with a Gateway? or with a Palm IIIx?
I don't know if this is the same article referred to in the IDG article but it's worth a look anyhow. It has a large graph of "Server/Host Spending by Operating System". Linux has a very low level of spending compared to NT and the predictions for Win2K. Well obviously! They're overpriced to start with and need plenty of cash for maintainence...

Also, Sarah has written a book: In Code: A Mathematical Journey.
Extortion of the sick is morally repugnant. Especially if done by a corporation in the name of profit.
