We are affected :(

Currently have 3 websites down, email down, our licensing server down, our DM system down - not a good start to the week.

The phones are ringing crazy with our upset clients.

I hate to disagree..

... but I think it may be you that is wrong here Simon.

"Culture Secretary Sajid Javid said: "It can't be right that in a fifth of the UK, people cannot use their phones to make a call. The government isn't prepared to let that situation continue."

Just to make it clear, Javid is wrong. He’s confused people with places. What’s missing is geographical coverage, not population coverage."

Javids words are "in a fifth of the UK" meaning a fifth of the geographical area of the UK, not a fifth of the population.

The Bible is on the list because it "contains principles and guidelines to be a good person”

I would disagree - the bible contains lots of principles and guidelines for being pure evil..

As an example (for the promotion of murder in the bible) , see here: http://www.evilbible.com/Murder.htm

I have a nice mix of SSD and spinning rust..

2x 512Gb Corsair SSD (Striped) - OS, Large Applications

2x 1TB Seagate SSHD (Striped) - Small applications, documents, downloads etc

1x 3TB WD Red - Long term storage / backup

1x 30Gb Kingston MSATA SSD - Temp files and paging file

Sad day :(

However - without this kind of testing and pushing the boundaries of what is possible we would never hope to leave the earth. Kudos to the pilots and Virgin for their bravery and we can only hope that this test results in safer space travel in years to come.

To make mistakes is part of the learning process - it is essential that Virgin are open about what went wrong so everybody else can learn and not make the same mistake.

If Virgin want test pilots, I would volunteer in a heartbeat - as I am sure many others would.. Risk like this is worth it for the rest of the human race. A tragedy, but worth it in my opinion. I know that sounds callus, but look at the early pioneers of flight, or the formula one drivers of yesteryear - without them pushing the boundaries of technology we would be decades behind. Natural disasters wipe out more every year than all technological experiments combined.

Personally..

..I'm going for the Focus. As noted in the article, its a better car to drive (which is what I do when in the car!)

I wonder what happens with a lower force - say 30 lbs applied repeatedly over a week?

Who cares about data loss?

Personally, I don't really care about data loss / corruption as I keep everything backed up to a NAS with mirrored RAID anyway. As such, I run 2x 512GB Crucial MX100 SSDs in a stripe, 2x 1TB Seagate SSHDs in a stripe for main storage, a 30GB mSATA SSD for my paging file / temp files and a 3TB WD Red for archival.

Performance is around 1GB/s on my OS/Applications RAID. Win 8.1 boot time is under 5 seconds from cold.

I guess I would be labelled as a pirate then..

My usage is around 1TiB/month at the moment virtually all of it over VPN and all legal. For starters I host an offsite backup for work which sends approx 15-20GiB each night over a VPN. I also push all my traffic over a VPN which includes Netflix, browsing, Youtube - as well as Steam downloads which can soon add up!

Why do I use a VPN? Privacy - these days it is just as easy to configure it in my router so it is permanent and works across all my devices automagically.

Why exactly would a regular 3d printer not work? (Other than the printing tray not being secured by anything other than gravity which could be fixed with a couple of clips)

Links to the decryptcryptolocker site give a 403 - forbidden error..

Looking at the passport, at least they won't get sued for rounded corners!

UK police perhaps?

We have recently seen 660 people arrested for child porn images in an operation that lasted 6 months and targeted the dark web.. could this be linked?

What we really need to know...

"... is whether memory or the processor are soldered in, making upgrades more or less impossible. But the teardown dons didn't reveal this key piece of info."

You can't tell from the photo's on the site you link to???

I'll give you a clue, they are!

Smaller search engines???

"The government officials argued that the search index ruling was impossible to enforce for smaller search engines that don’t have the resources of an ad behemoth like Google to process thousands of takedown requests."

Like Bing who received under 20 requests on the first day of the ruling coming into effect(compared to Google's 12000). Not too sure smaller search engines will have that hard a time really!

More information needed..

Any links to the source of these allegations? What other AV systems are on the "naughty" list - the article names and shames only 4 out of a headline 14!

Pretty sure my Samsung Note 2 does this already.. If I wave my hand towards it, the screen comes on and shows me the clock/notifications.

In other news

Civilization V is now available for SteamOS :D

Whats the point of super fast mobile broadband..

If i can burn through my monthly allowance in under 10 mins?

Rather than focus on speed, I want to see the ridiculous data caps gone. Then (and only then) I might consider 4G.

GPU Mining is not dead

It will simply shift to other ASIC resistant coins based on scrypt-N or other algos such as Vertcoin etc.

The important stuff these days..

Is what hash rate does it achieve - and what's its power consumption?

AMD are making a killing on cards for mining - reviews and articles should include these all important stats!

Access to bittorrent trackers has decreased..

Maybe because most people use trackerless torrents / DHT these days?
