this is an attack on the policies of what will certainly be the next British government
Obviously posted by someone who isn't that much into UK politics. I'm in Scotland, and there's no way Scotland will have a Conservative government in the foreseeable future. There's a chance they could be the next Westminster government, but even that is by no means certain.
Privacy is an issue, yes, but I suspect there's another motive here. They don't want anyone analysing how much the system slows down the average user's web connection and publishing the results.
...of fitting proper lighting to the plane and painting the inside of the hull green so I can shoot some "proper" space footage in there and CGI the backgrounds in at a later date?
As I said in reply to a similar objection, the infra-red detectors used, say, to detect body heat on a battlefield, are only sensitive to a very narrow band within that range. All you need to do is match that band.
He's not suggesting it goes back on the market - the car at the bottom of the "chain", for which the voucher is issued, is scrapped. What he's suggesting is that the voucher goes towards a used, rather than new, replacement.
...yet any criminal or terrorist need only ask a bright 14-year-old to set up an email server for them on their local machine serving encrypted mail through a non-standard port. As with most "fixes" of this nature they will only catch idiots and the innocent.
In short, DVD drives, mouse devices, keyboards and monitors cannot be infected.
Interesting. My USB mouse has a built-in card reader, and spent about a month being switched from machine to machine in my KVM with a 32MB card left forgotten inside before I discovered it and realised its potential as a vector of infection... You'd think that if they were security professionals they would have thought of this.
Apropos to this, I remember years ago on the Atari ST someone released a virus that infected the keyboard controller chip, completely outwith the usual CPU-RAM-drive triad.
...is that they die days outside the statutory 12 month warranty period. Thus, the three year warranty is a no-brainer, and its price should be taken into account when pricing the product.
But as all their warranties are "return-to-base", "exchange unit only" they're worthless unless you keep very thorough backups.
The Earth was designed to calculate the ultimate question of Life, the Universe and Everything by following the evolution of life upon it; this is merely the final phase.

The downthrust is water that's being lifted up the pipe - the masses are the same, the speed must be the same, so don't they cancel out?
Why don't they just block the thrusters and use the turgidity of the pipe to hold the pack in the air?
Hell, perhaps we should blame Windows for letting the iTunes installer put Bonjour and Apple Updater and QuickTime on your computer as well?
I'd certainly blame Apple for putting iTunes on a machine I was just trying to install Quicktime on. Oh, wait, they already do that.
But the only reason the OS is not supported /is/ the DRM requirement. Remove that and Linux support would be available in a matter of days.
...or a second sound card connected to a different (copy of the?) OS running under a virtual machine...?
Sites that use Silverlight don't recognise it and just present you with an "Install Microsoft Silverlight" button where the content should be.
Interesting. I automatically assumed an IBM Dealership.

But most of the detectors, say for body-heat in a battle zone, detect emissions within an extremely narrow range.
...to light of only one color would not be of much use."
It would be exceptionally useful if that colour was infra-red.
There's nothing stopping them limiting the vouchers to a specific list of manufacturers, if they so choose.

Oi! I run Linux on my iPod!
It's like the wristwatch with the "lifetime guarantee", which slashes your wrist with the mainspring when it breaks.

...on the towels in public restrooms?
Not necessarily all of them, but it's certainly possible that some of them were.

The Earth is becoming one giant computer.
I beg to differ; I believe that you, too, are a real tool.
