maybe

it was the employee dropping off the tapes... or the cleaners or the office dog. I hope they have a stronger case than that.

kernel not meta flags

the 'hidden' directories are actually hidden at the kernel level, not with the hidden filesystem flag. It requires running linux to spot these directories as they as all masked within MS's products. A quick google shows it's a special name like \System32\$sys$filesystem

it's all bull

if they want to ban indexing sites then they'd better start at the top... google.

surely...

it's cheaper to purchase a PAYG phone or a second hand one and swap the sim out instead of using a limited range, limited utility radio?

I use them on site when we're working as a team but would never use them in the great outdoors.

Mines the oilskin with a large dead salmon in one pocket and a cat'o'nine in the other.

wait

first he says it a system/process problem, then he says its not a problem.... erm.... yeh.

Most shops don't include VAT on the price tag so they only need to work the VAT backwards based on the current price until such time as they update the prices and change the tags (which to be honest is not that big a job). Surely they store VAT separately due to changing rates, or did their programmers not foresee that?

Mines the one with "graduate programmers stole my job" on the back.

@tester

...put down and step away from the dailymail.

Such extremist views are tosh, and you need to learn that when you read that stuff.. it is in fact opinion.

Everything that you read is opinion unless it's RAW statistical data that can be mined down, with no fluff or categories to put things in, no interpretation by state or press, and the source is unbiased and preferably not human.

live TV streams...

...about friggin' time! :) Even the lowest of low processors can encode in realtime these days, strap that to some real multicast equipment and you're sorted!

terminology

it's called an e-peen. Paris would know...

Vermin media

..are so winning this one... It's like console wars but slower.

TLS

The first key step is SSL or preferably TLS (SSL3.1+) for your data connections ([e]ssmtp, spop3, imap4 over TLS).

Implementation often only requires 'ticking the box' in account settings and it will protect you from casual traffic snooping.

small DBs = faster OMG! NEWS! not

nice ad. Can you have some news please?

IT skills gap.

maybe they could computerise attendance and student data, and then just correlate it... oh wait, A) the data already exists, B) it's the UK I forgot all civil servants have to do things the hard way...

wargh

Temp status is abused by corporations in the UK. It's the inbetween place between employment and unemployment with none of the benefits.

3 months sounds fair to me. Will they also include a catch all for IR35 contractors/employees... ?

not for us

Didn't you know? bbc.co.uk is an international site. That's why a significant portion of the site is about US politics and US finance (even before the elections and current crisis).

Wales is a tiny place (relatively speaking) that is easy for our international visitors to the site to not know where it is.

I'm glad that someone is reading BBC news though because the journalism is as bad as the dailymail these days. Stories with facts anyone? It's all hype and opinion portrayed as truth.

Bill because he's also good at taking people's money by the billions and not producing the goods.
