What would be more useful would be for web providers to provide an interface where you can set rules on your web traffic giving the choice to block content such as Porn, Scam Sites and Adverts.
It would be worth their investment just in terms of the amount of bandwidth they would save.
On top of this it should let you configure what ports/services you want available.
95-99% of web users don't need FTP, SMTP, inbound HTTP etc etc. They easily supply a list of all the popular games and you could just tick the ones you play to open the ports. Of course you'd include a custom interface so the expert users could set what they like.
If you've every looking through your router config pages, you'll have seen what I'm talking about.
Closing off traffic to ports you're not using would reduce the virus risks etc.
I've been with a company called CyberHostPro for 5+ years and they are rock solid and don't appear to overload the shared servers like many hosts do.
They are also dead cheap... their windows reseller account is cheaper than many companies single hosting accounts.
In answer to your question, the police have cells with special toilets for the recovery of internally concealed items. With drugs etc it's surprisingly common.
It's like a normal toilet but when you flush it it flushes into a big steel basin where the contents can be examined and cleaned with a hose and disinfectant before whatever isn't wanted is flushed again.
Look it's vital that we find someone irrelevant a powerless and that we blame them and punish them with a long prison sentence.
It's how justice works. In America.
They'de add more than an extra 21,200 subscribers in a quarter simply by offering fixed IP address of their home broadband service.
RE: "This is why people are against nuclear power stations in their back yard. Because if the thing does go a bit Chernobyl/Three Mile Island/Fukushima:" - I see your point, but to make things fair, anyone who raises objections to having a nuclear power plant built near their house has to have their electricity disconnected.
It's the only way to make things fair - people should have the advantages with the disadvantages.
Why can't Google make their results useful?
Strip out result from other search engines and "garbage" sites like price comparison sites etc.
I'm sure their used to be an option to do this... -garbage or something like that
Also, if I type in the name of any company, can the top result always be that companies homepage? It can't be that difficult can it - I mean - it's almost always what your after when you just type the companies name?
100m domain, $10 a pop
That's a billion dollars a year for basically doing NOTHING apart from running a few servers.
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space Because there's bugger all down here on Earth..
...and the winner of the worlds shortest lawsuit is...
I imagine the same rules were applied to men. The US certainly had a "perfect health and teeth" rule. I'm pretty sure eyesight had to be 20-20 too, certainly for the early years where they were all approved experienced jet-fighter test pilots.
I'm pretty sure H&S guidelines require you to take time away from your desk.
They certainly require at least 5 minutes away from your screen every hour.
"Chris has been very cooperative with prosecutors, he's remorseful for any of the harm caused to the stars, and just looks to a resolution of the case,"
I'm pretty sure the nude snaps have lead to a huge amount of Publicity for Scarlett, followed by even more high paying roles and even more money.
I can't with for her to sue him for damaged and then have to explain why she shouldn't PAY HIM due to how much financially better off she is because of it.
Effectively singularly ended Samual L Jacksons acting career.
It was THAT bad.
soooo... just turn off GPS and data while using them?
I'm sure it was a mistake. The factory "accidentally" ordered the wrong, cheaper part.
Newsflash - Agent Provocateur's target market is very explicitly WOMEN.
For that very reason the advert is unlikely to be demeaning to women.
It's all pointless... if terrorists want to crash a plane, all they need to do is buy up all the seats in advance, but only 6 of them turn and take the front row of seats. 6 is enough to overpower the stewardess and start multiple fires or rush the cockpit door when the stewardess goes to take them their coffee.
But again, it's all pointless. If you want to create fear, most malls would make a better target, where 6 people could chain all the exits shut and burn the place down, and if you want to cause disruption then most nations oil and gas infrastructure has laughable security. And those are just 2 ideas I've seen in movies. Planes are an appalling target for terrorist to pick due to the high security at airport and limited fear and disruption that can be caused.
You could shut down a nations gas-flow for 24 hours with 6 people with angle grinders and it would take a year to get everything back to normal, and the chances are they'de never get caught.
Slavery wasn't abolished because of a social concience. It was abolished because it was financially ineficient. Because the "owners" were liable and responsible for the slaves, and had to look after them when they were too old or sick to work.
Slavery was abolished when the number of old and sick slaves became too high and the owners realised they were providing food, housing and doctors to a high proportion of their slaves.
Better to "free" them all, make then tennants with their ex owner becoming their landlord and employer, then if they can't work they aren't his problem.
When people were travelling the UK campaigning to free the slaves, it resulted in riots because the peasents they were visiting to ask for support quickly became aware that the slaves were better off than they were.
I imagine the military uses for these alone would be worth enough sales to cover the development costs. A lightweight rubust consumer-ready pair of sunglasses with HUD, linked to a small blue-tooth camera mounted on each soldiers gun would save countless lives. Add in covert mapping and the latest small night vision cameras... awesome. Twitch your head to cycle through the APCs external cameras while your sat in the back, so when you get out you know what to expect.
The military uses are endless.
Calm down, I'm sure there will be registry setting that puts it back.
If Echelon can't tell the difference between a threat and a family guy quote, I'm pretty sure it's useless.
Apparently Goldman Sachs has already offered them a Harvard Scholarship.
I'm supprised MS didn't buy them just to shut them down... they'de save a couple of hundred million dollars over a few years on tech support alone.
It's only a matter of time before all the other phone companies get totally sick of apple and openly join forces for a war against apple, throwing everything they have as a team against apple.
I forsee in the next 12 months Apple being unable to licence all required patents required to be able to sell it's products and being forced to pull every product from the market, while possibly being required to put money to cover damages into escrow, effecively ending the company as a trading entity.
However I put it at about 50-50 that in under 2 years we will have a situation where ALL smartphones and tablets have to be pulled form the market, as no-one can licence all the required patents, and there being a shortage of smartphones for at least a 6 month epriod.
What matters is.... can you TAX it?
Minor point I know, but exactly how much information could a space-plane gather about a space station?
I would guess that exterior photos of the station and that it's location are freely available on the Chinease space agency web site. And it shows up on rader. And all it's radio bradcasts could be picked up by anyone.
So basically if you could actually get close enough to it, the best you could do is check if they are looking out of the window,
"And quit with those anti piracy adverts and promos you can't skip and fecking macrovision - those are the reasons I rip my DVDs to XviD first. I want to watch the film, okay? The. Film."
That's not a DVD you are watching. The spec of the DVD standard says the "non-bypassable" video function can only be used for the standard copyright notice.
When they use it for anti-piracy messages, adverts, branding, production company logos, previews etc it's in breach of the DVD standard and the technically can't describe it as a DVD or use the DVD logos.
Some companies simply ignore these rules, some omit the logos and hope no-one notices.
What you've got there is a digital video disc, not a DVD.
It's the same as those stupid CDs with copyright protection... the famous SONY one where they had to omit the "Audio CD" logo. (But sadly no the software) Mixed mode CDs with extras on like video etc also can't carry the Audio CD logo either.
Check your collection you may be supprised.
For picking up the grass and unloading into the compost bin, I would imagine a leaf vac/blower would do the job if you fit a valve. Have an outflow tube a bit like a combine harvester but using air pressure.
Also would be good to use something like an android smartphone or tablet... something with a USB port so the can connect to a suitable sensor array.... can just undock it then to tweak the software.
Yes of course I'll give you my password...

I'm off to register Newzbin3.com, Newzbin4.com and Newzbin5.com
Apple pattented making something rectangular. Thus you argument is invalid.
I'm pretty sure presenting digitally altered images in a court case would be considered attempting to pervert the course of justice in most sane courts and those involved held on remand pending lengthy prison sentences.
Most people only have a landline these days because they need it to have broadband.
They could free up a huge amount of numbers by simply offering people a couple of quid off line rental to make it broadband and 999 only.
I suggested an idea on halfbakery that would count as prior art about the same time as the patent was filed.
Methinks i smell a rat.
China could just send up a few dozen sherpas with spades and have them spend a few hours digging the snow off of the summit.
Problem solved!
Or Nepal could send up Sherpas with rocks to build a stack of rocks on the peak as deep as the snow.
Either option would be cheaper and funnier than their current plan.
Or my favourite one.... send Sherpas up with those fancy new concrete tent-buildings and have them build a gift shop and a cafe.
This probably mean the end for the Sony Playstation line.
And more interestingly, since the consoles are sold on the basis that they come with the online service, we are likely to see people returning them for a full refund, and I expect, in the US, a class action lawsuit.
If it comes to that, sony will have no defence. They can't blame circumstances beyond their control since other companies have managed to write secure web services.
This could actually bring the entire company down.
WANT
Can they just block experts-exchange.
If they do they will make a lot of IT people VERY happy.
Surely the solution is simple. A panel of judges should get 30 seconds to look at an ad.
After 30 seconds they should state how they interperet it.
And that's the offer the ad agency has to honour or every member of staff gets 12 months inside..
All the problems would suddenly vanish.
THIS ISN'T AN ACHEIVEMENT!!!
There are 2 types of card reader in common use in the UK... one where you slide your card face-up in the bottom, the other where it goes in at right angles at the top.
The ones where it goes face up in the bottom have all the internal components soldiered to the circuit board. The others have the PIN keypad and Chip reader connected by flat ribbon cables... the seperate keypad and card reader both send their data to the circuit board unencrypted.
The latter is well know to be easily hackable, by opening it up and sliding a second connector into each connector. It takes about 30 seconds to fit, and is the reason you see most of them have security stickers sealing them. The kits have been on sale online for over a year... it's been well covered on the reg.
Looks rather like the loader from Aliens.
Actually this could be a practicle use for it if they can get the price down, replacing conventional fork lift trucks and small cranes.
I assume the only reason they haven't gone down this route is the Milirary pork money is better than they would get for an adanced fork-lift-truck, even though as a fork-lift you could probably have a practical, usuable product on the market in a year.
Eventually google are simply going to withdraw large portions of their services from france, or just block French users and websites completely.
I've come to the conclusion that France is one of those countries that should just be disconnected from the internet. They just aren't culturely advanced enough to cope with it.
I'd also cut off 99.9% of africa and russia since all that comes out of there is spams and scams... limit their access to companies who pay a deposit upfront and agree not to misuse it. It's not like it 1% of people spoiling it for the other 99%... 99% of the traffic that comes out of africa is spam/scam.
There comes a time where you have to say "enough is enough" and cut-off those that are a threat to others for the good of everyone else.
The store must be sending the money pods up the tubes when accounts is shutting with the pods queueing up in the tube until ccounts come back in the morning.
All they need to do is have the other end of the tube curve over and drop into a box.
I expect this will rapidly be reversed, as otherwise everyone will just ask for a refund, resubscribe and get a nother 5 keys anyway
Seems like abit of a dumb move as the Iranians could simply re-engineer the virus to target US/Isreali systems and send it straight back...
@Ross7 and PaulWizard
RTFM.
You should be able to resync your keys yourself. Usually it's something like you put the key in the ignition, turn it to position II and then press the unlock button half a dozen times until the doors lock and unlock again.
Essentialy there are 2 levels of "key programming"... the one the manufacturer charge you to do is to marry the short-range RFID chip in the key to the ECU so the ECU recognises it when it's placed next to the receiver in the steering column lock. This is programming the ECU to recognise the key, *NOT* programming the key to recognise the car. You'll be charged the standard £50+ they charge to plugging their computer into the ECU. If you ever get this done, ask them nicely to upgrade your firmware while they are doing it, often it will improve your performance and/or fuel economy, and shouldn't cost anything extra.
The other is the one that opens/closes the doors. The manufacturers do this one too when they set the RFID chip, but if you RTFM you'll find instruction on how to do it if it becomes unsyncronised or if the Fob is left too long with a flat battery and it forgets it.
This is what the games industry has been waiting for. We have graphics cards capable of handling graphics detail far in excess of what games designers have time to put in.
The majority of a cost of a game these days is creating the maps...
Something like this would enable data collection en-mass, allowing complex environments to be scanned in rather than built from objects.... allowing entire offices, housing estates or even small towns to big scanned in in a short space of time.
12 months and it will be the size of a laptop and then we're in business.
The quality/volume of the output at ejaculation is dependent upon the quality of stimulus.
Little or no stimulus will result in a poor quality sample.
I suspect the woman who wrote this report needs to be struck off as unfit to practice medicine of any kind.
