well said!

good point & well made agellos

I cant imagine what those two thumbs down are for , probly from Jake and some other pfy

You only have to look at the purile stream of idiocy below most utube videos to see this effect.

I'm not saying you should never be able to be anonymous but it should be the exception rather than the rule.

I'm sure Halifax bank wouldnt repond too well if you tried to open an account in the name of

@Christoph , re gullwings

They have actually retained a very innovative safety feature which does the opposite of what you suggest . The car John Delorean copied from (which looked pretty much the same) was tagged the "worlds safest car". It even came in colourslabelled 'safety green' , ' safety red' etc

The gullwing doors were put there explicitly to make opening the doors easier when in close proximity to something else (e.g in a crash) Those doors extend from the car only 6 inches on their way up, whereas if you open a normal car door six inches you couldnt get a sheet of paper out , never mind a person!

probly dont work too well if its on its roof though :)

its more complicated than that

"take a standard steel drill and put a hole through the old drive casing & platters."

Although this would in my opinion destroy the data beyond retrieval , It wouldnt meet current standards. Mainly because you you didnt pay through the nose to have someone else do it - the difference being that person has a government EEE certificate.

I think they shred the drives , then feed them to shark with a frikkin laser on its head , that is then sent out sea 10 miles and detonated. This ensures safe data destruction.

re bloated!

Bloated! not kidding!

Never has a simple document reader got so far above itself , 100's of useless "features" that a simple document reader has no business having.

go back to .txt I say!

whenever an email is sent round our building with a pdf attached , or a link to one, there will always be half a dozen Adobe reader installations that have out of the blue decided to stop working , or stop being integrated in the right way.

Thing is NomNom, we're already totally reliant on fossil fuels.

I think from the extensive reading I've done on the subject we are heading for a giant size crash which will mean nothing less than the end of civilsation as we know it.

It'll go something like this:

-Fuel runs short

-hauliers go out of business, therefore other busineses fail

-people cant get to work

-nothing in the shops

-locally produced stuff in the grounded trucks sold off locally

-no fuel fuel for farmers - crops go unsewn/harvested

-people are getting hungry

-authorities struggling to retain order

-military efforts to secure new oil result in death all round and fail due to lack of fuel

-gangs roaming the streets scavenging what they can

- Fire, Brimstone, dogs and cats living together etc

The end

I dont know at what point someone (govt) might decide to build nuclear stations, or mass wind turbines, but the right time has already passed.

So if this little pocket of gas is going to cushion us, in the same way an airbag will save you if you car went off the cliffs ov dover, then all the better.

I think what the poster meant is that this will illustrate to the child porn sites that if they too make a local client tool then they too could defeat the BT blocking system

Anonymous tards

The anonymity offered by the internet really brings out the worst in people. They just run around on a verbal 'shooting spree' .

I was horrified this morning at the torrent of racial abuse commented on a particular video on youtube showing some indian chappies . I know thats where you find the worst kind of dickheads but i really was surprised by the vehemence , vulgarity and the quantity of racist remarks.

(i'm white btw)

These were people just hiding behind their youtube Nicks, The Reg seems to go a step further and offer this extra layer of "anonymous coward"

is there no accountability in the world?

illegal

I dont know if you'd get the hand treatment for stealing software from the western infidels , only for eastern things, like letting your wife go to school, or out in public

Why then do we need more cars now than we did 20 years ago?'

cos the world population increased from 5.3 billion to 7 billion.

puzzled

I dont get it. How can all this surveillance prepare for the 7 billion hungry people with nothing to lose? Is it a way of weighing up whos "up against the wall" first?

Its not the whole of the NHS

here at my department of the NHS , all laptops are encrypted and no staff have access to the usb port or cd drive. all network ports are locked to their machines mac address. All emails are scanned .

Theyd have to go to quite some effort to make that mistake here.
