Theres an app for that

re: PDF's
Why not simply print a file to a PDF ouput?
Works a treat, and saved time because i find windows scrambles carriage returns and line feeds - ideal for remote printing!

Fool
Wear clothes and have curtains at home do you? must have something to hide then...
I choose
Paper records ta, its time proven common sense format that works in power cuts, and as for the ignorant claim that no one is interested in records i ask WHY are they encrypted, etc?
I dont supose any debt collection agency/criminals/private investigatoras would have any want for such details?
And as for the mentality of 'nothing to fear, nothing to hide': still wear clothes, and have curtains at home do you?
Patients are wising up!
And as for
+ other data?
Judging by the volume of data wp7 sends I very much doubt its soley location data being sent.

Zte Racer
Got one, love it. Only thing that stops it being as functional as a laptop is the usb port is not switvhable to master mode to run mouse/keyboard/monitor.
So..
Javascript off and alls ok.
It seems to fetch pages faster with it off.

Deja vu
Your post is a bit too similar to my situation. Those who try to do the right thing only seem to get punished. Beware the dangers of getting involved with 'lipstick princesses'!

Posted in Health records get clean bill of health
Already told my doctor
That under no circumstances are my details to go on this system. When i pointed out the number of data leaks and viruses causing trouble he agreed and later called me to confirm the surgery will not offer any patients the option. His last comment to me was "with windows how can we prove our systems dont have a virus?"
Folk need to learn
... That banks cannot be trusted, and you DON'T need a bank account to live!
Posted in Nokia runs all the way to the bank
No thanks!
I dont trust banks, and happily live without an account.
As for any form of 'mobile money'... they can keep it!
Try living with this...
Apart from the spiralling cost of motoring, this is the other key factor which has seen me hangup my driving licience.
We have a decent bus network, so why should I put myself at risk of the idiots that fill the roads during summer.
There are a few places online where the locals keep tabs on where these things are, so while they may not release the information, those that drive have a counter measure for counter measure - nothing to do with evasion, just the long traffic jams that happen while they pull someone over.
Microsoft's most secure operating system to date.

Multiple number plates?...
I'd be interested to know how these things would decide which number plate to read if a second number plate is visible in the rear window?
What if more than one vehicle had a decoy plate with the same numbers?
Just a thought?
Glad
I don't have a bank account!
Disconnecting the customers
Having read all the PDF's I have to wonder why they are so intent on being about to switch off the customers supply on a regular basis - the switches have a 10,000 operation lifetime in the specs.
Is this the level of load management they are willing to go to.... we can't cope so just turn them off?
The really alarming thing that leaps at my read of the specs is the requirement to log at 1 minute intervals, or less - so if that resolution of billing is needed that the scary predictions of 60% energy price hikes does appear to be on the way.
One topic - security - did make me chuckle though, they are spec'ing for defence to 6 types of attack and so seem most worried about magnets of 600 gauss and 25mm in size......I wonder why!

Acting strangely around schools...
What is it about the way they target schools that just creeps a lot of people out - Oh I know: Its wrong! And of course nobody mentioned all the money saved by the schools that ditched windows for Ubuntu...
It just hype
... to get the masses to buy their products.
I note that the CA page shows an image of an emulator used for designing mobile software, and as such most likely has the ability to disable the prompts before sending an SMS (if im wrong please correct me).
I also wonder if CA show the emulator rather than a compromised phone because they are trying to develop the virus in the first place (it would be in the best interest of their business model if there was a problem need their solution I guess).
Lastly I have not even overheard ANYONE in the real world having a problem with a virus on any mobile device.... has anyone else?
what the hell?
Android IS Linux you fool! Developed in partnership with Canonical who also develop Ubuntu. Please at least try to use a search engine, or is that bing thingy censoring search results?
Ignorant
Really? did you google for "linux realtime kernel"??? did you? I think not, and I also think you should try to educate yourself better.
Posted in Google releases Nexus One SDK
Im impressed!
After following the link to the Android SDK page it looks like it wont be long before I can make my own programs for the nexus.
The only gap in my knowledge is how to actually get the code i write from the SDK into the phone... years ago this was a nightmare, I'm hoping this is a case of being able to upload from bluetooth/web/file and simply run. If anyone knows better please let me know!
Posted in Google releases Nexus One SDK
oooo yeessss
I've looked into this very thing, and with the android.hardware class and org.apache.http classes (plus others) it looks like (though i've skimmed through a lot of pages) not only can this be done, but the phone can also host its own apache server to dish the images out... if im wrong please correct me!
Posted in Welcome to the out-of-control decade
Have to wonder...
.. if this is the view of a troubled personality, or somebody paid to write an article to down the two main competitors to M$???
Actual facts would clarify the situation, until any are provided articles such as this join my template list for ignored news threads.
It all started with a pint!
..at the local.
This year I have been ASKED to install Ubuntu to rid users of their dimdoze hell. That's not advertising, that's real people (247 to date) who have heard by word of mouth. And it really needs to be said that over the last 5 weeks many of the local students have been happy to get shot of windows7!
Posted in Shuttleworth steps down as Canonical CEO
Time for hunting
This is great news. So Mr Shuttleworth has passed the helm to another to leave himself free to hunt the bigger issues. I think now things are about to get very interesting.
...not like there's....
...any need for a financial 'stimulus' package is there!...
..and nothing at all...
... to do with any governments 'stimulus' package? no - there's no global warming, nothing to see here, just carry on with your usual habit citizens, the economy and short term gain is much important than the survival of the species!
This is another why
I stopped owning/watching TV over a year ago. Aside from it being all death/war/famine/doom/repeats, Why do we need it? we still have books, the internet, and god forbid: other people to meet and talk to.

PC abortion World!
It was only monday that one of the genius as pcworld tried to tell me that a DDR memory card will fit into a pc100 slot, given that example of recent experience I can only think that virgin are on to a winner (but lets not mention how t tech guys also ganged up on an elderly couple to convince them that they 'needed' to pay £120 to get rid of a virus on a brand new pc!)
Time...
...to add another reason toward my consideration of surrendering my licence then!
fuel costs + road tax +idiot drivers + servicing costs + speed cameras + speed bumps + poor roads = fail.
Posted in Scammers scrape RAM for bank card data
Chip and Pin = FAIL
So, aside from the fact that its made shopping ques longer, and is a ploy by the banks to shift blame when these systems get caught with their pants down, the important element of wisdom to remember is that there is nothing as secure as visiting the bank in person rather than trusting these machines. For what its worth to others fed up with the chip and pin fiasco google for section 10.7 of the banking code or visit http://www.bba.org.uk/bba/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=350&a=13289&artpage=all
- while the bank staff will straighten up when you mention it, they do have to provide an alternative to chip and pin!

Blurred boundry
Since you can purchase a mobile phone top-up from a ATM, the term POS does not exclude ATMs.
Workaround
I've also encountered this stupidity, so i devised a work around of a short piece of garden hose that reaches from the hot tap to the soap draw. Our meter shows that the cost of a wash fell from 0.85p to 0.55p, so add that up over the year.
Manual correction
..to underfilling washing machines. When a load of towels are washed the newer machines are simply not putting enough water in to wash properly, but again this too is solved with a hose from tap to soap draw.
Given the strength..
.. of modern forensic evidence, such as DNA profiling, then why not hand out the death penalty, its not like there's a shortage of people.
