I it doesn't work, just ask for more money.
"Now if you're a private business, then the worse that happens is that you lose some of your revenue that day. But if you are offering services to UK citizens and you are introducing something which denies them access because it does not work properly, there are all sorts of issues for government, local authorities or even NHS websites, that a retailer would not face."
The wholesome aire in the velvet-clad king's seat upon the civil servant mountain must be rarefied indeed, sire!! God bless!

I don't think HP owns the patent to a new production process of a passive device described in the 70s.

Yes Jake.
But on the other hand, no-one mentioned latency?!?
Intredasting!
So is he using a mixture [probabilistically mix a photon from system A with one from system B] to enlarge system B into a system C so that even when you get info about the state of C by measuring the photon, you still get to keep the original B?

Re: If it looks like a turd...
Okay, but how does one manage to get reamed by a walled garden? Like on the desktop, the metaphors don't mix.
You are comparing two product lines, the one from the DOS side and the one from the DEC side, and where's NT 3.1, 3.5 and W2K?
For me, it was W2K - "last known good" on the DEC side.

Maybe they could throw in a demand to get full listing of rendition flights. No? How about to have Dick Cheney hand over all the document that he disappeared ... Oh, okay then.
In related news, it is heard that the US is paying Pakistan USD 1 million a day just to let warcrap into Afghanistan unmolested.
And this is is still chump change.
neo-GOP?
I didn't realize the GOP went anywhere. Still orbiting the drain. fielding ridiculous crud as presidential candidates.
That party should have split into at least 4 directions a long time ago as they have some good stuff in there. Like HP I suppose.

Too much paper money looking for interest, ANY interest. A certain percentage of that money is your pension fund.
Meanwhile, interest rates are kept low, low, low and money gushes out of central banks like coke out of a colombian drug outfit.

Re: like banks
"companies only put this sort of security theatre in place after something nasty has happened"
Pretty ridiculous statement. They put this sort of "security theatre" (actually not theatre; this is well-founded policy) in place once competitors may eat their lunch once something nasty happens.
Yeah Yeah....

MILK WASTAGE? HOW NOW, BROWN COW?
Couple of years ago, euro-diary-producers were storming the barricades and in protest actions were spilling milk all over the place, demanding a "fair price" (i.e. a price increase) for a good that is subsidized, resulting in "social" prices (i.e. a price reduction) at the point to delivery and overproduction because there are too many producers, not to mention bad allocation of sparse resources like trucks, fuel, time and land.
And people are talking about MILK WASTAGE?

Re: Asuka Langley Soryu
I would pay again if Miss Greendragon (it's Soryu, right?) were put on a powerful mix of prozac and speed then time-reversally copied and found herself fighting for Hitler, piloting a preternaturally enhanced red-painted He-162 Volksjäger and delaying the collapse of the 3rd Reich long enough for a secret cabal of SS Ahnenerbe connected to rabid U.S. Christian Evangelicals secretly in league with Roosevelt to join up with Japanese researchers in a camp run by Ralph Fiennes so that Kaballistic Abrahamic Power can be channelled into opening a Transdimensional Gate. 3rd impact can come early and Shinji Ikari doesn't get to decide to branch off the final transmigration/unification of humanity due to sheer lack of self-assurance. Problems of morality [obviously obviated later due to the eschatological effectiveness of 3rd impact] can be discussed as Asuka has long discussions with the Führer's secretary while he is busy ranting with his generals.
THE END!

"Inflatable Structures Technology Handbook - Chapter 21; Inflatable Habitats"
EXPORT CONTROLLED. DO NOT DISTRIBUTE!
"The technologies required to design, fabricate, and utilize an inflatable module for space applications has been demonstrated and proven by the TransHab team during the development phase of the program. Through testing and hands-on development several issues about inflatable space structures have been addressed , such as: ease of manufacturing, structural integrity, micrometeorite protection, folding , and vacuum deployment. The TransHab inflatable technology development program has proven that not only are inflatable structures a viable option, but they also offer significant advantages over conventional metallic structures."
p.31:
"The TransHab shield consists of several layers of NextelTM ceramic fabric layers that are separated by open cell polyurethane foam . The purpose of the foam is to provide a standoff distance between the Nextel layers. The foam is vacuum compressed prior to launch , to minimize volume and allow the shell to be easily folded. On orbit, in the vacuum of space , the foam regains its original standoff thickness due to the resilience of the foam and lack of differential pressure. Behind the alternating layers of Nextel and foam is a high strength KevlarTM fabric rear wall. As the hypervelocity particle impacts each of the multiple Nextel layers , it is continually shattered into smaller, slower particles over a larger area. With a properly sized shield , by the time the particles reach the Kevlar rear wall, they are small and slow enough to be stopped."
Re: The Cloud - When your Data is not really your data
This is becoming tiresome...
Shift the barrel "cloud" <--- "electronic records" <--- "paper records" and you have the bitching and moaning of the 70s.
Turns out that some problems were solved, some new problems were discovered, some problems turned out to be unsolvable, but in the end, a new balance between paper records and electronic records was struck.
It will happen again.

"hard won rights which benefit the individual, the small firm"
Quite apart from the rest of the argumentation, some of which has worth, I would really go slow on the idea that these are "hard won" rights. Throwing in the "small firm" and the "individual" is a straightforward way of pandering.
Hey, small firm, how about sued of of existence because you came up with the same stuff as someone else? Hey, individual, how about paying an order of magnitude more for stuff that is sold at acceptable prices on the other side of the world but cannot be imported here?
No need to even throw in copying or sharing.

But first they will use the new DARPA board-o-bots. After all, use of robots for various hunt/kill operations pretty much anywhere are "fully compatible with international law" as one hears from White House legal beagles.

3) More Intel!
The interesting part may have something to do with end-to-end manageability and enforcement of security policy, something like SELinux for remoting. Maybe. Unfortunately Intel only. So no.

AFAIK, the European Patent Office is not even "european", just cargo-culting to that position by prefixing the Magic Adjective.
Yes, this empire building will end in tears (except for the extraordinary league of people who make money by doing no discernible productive work), and maybe a limited nuclear exchange.

"our standards essential patents" ... Schnell!
As Neal Stephenson once wrote...
"Finns are like Germans. Only more so!"
Unions, eh?
So who ever came up with the idea that it's "unions" who are responsible for lower working hours ... instead of, say, higher productivity through capital accumulation?
Unions are there for breaking stuff in anger and keeping wages high by keeping competing labor out on the street. And for getting certain people elected.
Sometimes they may shift investment into better working conditions, but I'm not sure that's the norm.

Re: Disturbed
Yeah and later they talk about a "crack the size of a dog". I dunno what's on going on.
Aptly named - "Canalys"
"Austerity measures taken by governments to address public debt are resulting in low economic growth rates, limited job creation and pressure on disposable income at a time when households are also dealing with rising living costs."
Translation: I'm a $swearadjective Keynesian $swearsubstantive who has no idea about cause-effect relationships and who thinks that money-printing is not strong enough to overcome the inflation stemming from money-printing, and that, indeed, when everyone has gotten his free helicopter money people will be wealthier.
That or this guy is just evil and hoping to get to the paper-money fountain first to transform it into nondepreciating assets.
I suspect the latter.

Already paid at least twice by the taxpayer. At least.
Taxpayer will now have to pay more because the cost will just be passed on by the licensee.
(Probably will finance sweetheart arms deal with Saudi Arabia which NATO will have to bomb in the next 10 years to glowing smithereens anyway.)
