The future of voting needs to be open with pen and paper. If you hide the process away you have lost what you are voting for already so what is the point in voting. Modern democracy needs and option to say "i don't agree with the voting system" when voting. Kind of like a "none of the above" option where if that option wins new people are encouraged to stand.
I live in the UK i have been British all my life. My Vote does not count in this country for the people who run this country !. Many people are not aware that the votes from N.Ireland do not influence who becomes the prime minister.
In the UK the speed camers are checked by hand (or at least are ment to). They do this by taking 2 photos from the camera at a set time interval. On the road by the camera there is meant to be a lot of little white marks which are big enough to see in the camera and are spaced at.25meter lengths apart. So now yo uknow how longits been and how far its traveled the rest is easy:)
Though i know this system is sometimes ignored by police int he uk... eg lazy gone home early etc..
Also in the UK (at least n.ireland) the police are meant to run a test car though speed traps a few times documenting it and keeping a tape etc.. If they fail to produce a copy of the documentation on this to you at the scene if you ask for it then they dont have a case if oyu push it to court.
Another thought about safty on the road is around where i live they have started putting in speed bumps everywhere. Which is meant to slow the traffic down to improve safty. Slow it donw it does. It also annoys the crap out of people driving over bumps all the time and it makes the safty problem worse. Since all the traffic is now slower no gaps form in it so people can no longer cross the road when its busy whichout taking higher risks which is exactly the opposite they were traying to prevent.
Its amazing what the UK goverment can come up with.
Ummmmmm if that caused so much of an issue for so many people including complete loss of a network connectivity where is the backup ? or would this just be dragging up the point about being an under invested internet layout which was designed to protect against these very issues.
A lot of people rate forums as very high. I would agree that they are a useful for information and various communities. But it really just was a reinvention of the wheel. What use a forum when newsgroups would have worked perfectly fine! So instead of firing up your own newsreader now you need to track 72 different logins for lots of different forums and it take ages to get back to forums and check if people have posted / responded to things or to find information.
I find them useful as a last resort for information. But they just take toooo long to read.
In the UK i think this would fall under the false advertising laws. The fact that they advertise you can get it for free means its perfectly fine for you todo this. They are in fact breaking the law if they says its for free and its not.
People have USB Ethernet for some time now whats new about this ? It just seems even more expensive. I will just insert the virus in 1 of the following ways
a) before its used b) fresh exploit c) though IE d) though a bug in its driver straight into kernel mode
I wish people would stop trying to fight security like they try to fight big fires with water when what you really need todo is remove all the oxygen.
If you sit in the OS and the OS gets exploited this little bit of hardware is really useless and i can think of even getting better hardware for £180 that would perform the same function but actually function !
Meanwhile i have though about getting 1 of these and modifying it to use it as a remote boot manager for dedicated servers in data centers. Now that would be a useful utility;)
I think the real question is ask is why is there so many ameatures in the security profession ? After all nobody seems to have actually "fixed" any of the serious issues for at least 5 years now. I think its time to swap some high paid idiots out of the job....
I assume you also used the.inf files for the driver to that you don't have to run each setup program to install their crappy programs again for various bits of hardware that function perfectly fine with only the vendor driver being installed. eg a sound card.
Greate time to rename email to dmail for digital mail. That way the tax will only be charged on email. dmail however will be a new system not taxed so will be adopted quickly.
Cant wait for IPv6 to come along it should then sort out all the isps who don't have enough current bandwidth to support their users to be forced to upgrade all their routers as well as their links. I think this should sort out the isp's that walk the fine line of price / profit / bandwidth and probably bankrupt various isp's in the uk. Though its also worth noting that in the UK most isp sell an uncapped capped service.
Its advertised as uncapped but limited in the small print. Knowing this the last time i changed isp i went for something slightly more expensive package which advertised its service as capped at 30GB / 350GB peak / offpeak caps. But hey they have been meeting their end of the deal so far they always have bandwidth available when i need it so they have been meeting their end of the deal for the last 6 months.
Being an ex PlusNet user in the UK they used to cap me on non web / mail traffic to around 12kbytes/sec which was on a 6MBit connection. Then their tech support used to deny any traffic shaping was being performed.
Its not possible to talk in the middle of class is it ?
With a text you can.
I prefer text for a lot of things. eg Arranging a night out with a group of friends.
If you were to phone each person it would take an hour todo. Where as a text to a group of people
it takes 1 minute and it works out cheaper. People get the chance to see if they are available etc.. your not putting them on the spot and they can silently discard if they are not interested... Without making up some bullshit excuse. This allows a social network of friends to grow larger than it has done with making tradition phone calls.
I left plusnet 6 months ago for the following reasons
Bandwidth limits.
Crappy Support
Slow speeds
I have always done a roll my own email and since i have canceled my account i have no login details for plusnet what so ever but yet they keep spamming my email address with various emails about things like the webmail service issue and service changes etc...
I have attempted to email their support and any public email addresses about 4/5 times to get my address removed and have so far failed to be in contact with anyone. This shows to me that they are greatly pathetic.
Slashdot Mirror
Yes they would stop. But i think the real question is for how long they will stop for ?
How long will it take them to get board of the music they already have ?

Normally if you tell a kid not todo something they will go and do it ! ;)
Kids can also be very resourceful when you tell them not todo something

Yes but linux and apple can still measure footprint size in KBytes Window has been measuring it in MBytes for years
Well moving everything outside the windows kernel into a device driver which at loaded at runtime does reduce the foot print. But only for booting.
Its the Microsoft answer. Technically correct but absolutely useless.
Just so long as they take my dna sample from my dead body so they can check it against their list of unsolved crimes.
Well if we cant find our own Weapons of mass destruction and we know we have them. If we cannot find your either we know you must have the too !
Ok so whos going to be starting the One laptop per old person project ?
first install VMWare
2nd Install FreeBSD since he isnt allow linux.
2nd Method Have a friend fork ubuntu change the title and fork the kernel and call it something else as well. There for it is no longer ubuntu linux
Ummmmmm if that caused so much of an issue for so many people including complete loss of a network connectivity where is the backup ? or would this just be dragging up the point about being an under invested internet layout which was designed to protect against these very issues.
Sounds like a managment problem to me.
Software Guys: Its not ready
Managers: You showed me a working copy
Software Guys: But it has major security holes
Managers: Dont care ship it.
Where did i put that sound card driver that saves to a file instead of playing it out a sound card.

I wonder if MS will be able to provide us a list like sco did ?
Dunno but i managed to write something better than this when i was 16.
Its really sad to see crap stuff make it.
