"It was not a [targeted] malicious attack, it was a random attack," Stefanek says.

Ah - that is so good to know ... or is it?

The last thing we need is public acceptance that random attacks is good?

Jobs for the IT crowd?

But isn't this just another instance of "why you really need to keep the IT crowd employed"?

Alternatively:

IT doodz just havin fun no?

ALT

1 - Press Windows key (or Cmd+Spacebar)

2 - type "go c" without the quotes

3 - press enter key once google chrome has appeared at top of the list

4 - its friday I forget but if google chrome does not appear on the list then there is something very muchly w-r-o-n-g with that pooter

Hmm...

Looks like part of the queue at any (and all?) local (wether) Spoons?

Obsoleteness as a way of life?

But that means (IT angle here folks) that when paid for after three months of ownership said or implied bit of IT-KIT (that is IT kit to the great uninitiated) is even more obsolete than when the item reference were placed into an online order thingy or writ onto an instore paper wotsit using one of those stubby writing things.

But may be that is the future of purchasing experiences no?

see OMG he's back posted elsewhere

a well motivated moderator (is there such an entity eniwhere in the universe?) might feel obliged to intervene no?

OMG he's back?

Now this is why public funding and public fundedness is or should be a dead dodo, a parrot that ain't a parrot no more, and a trex fossil of gargantuan portions and proportions no?

It just kills the passion, motivation and aspiration replacing it with necromantic book(slogging) keeping and should be committed committee inspired design.

Or is it just me?

Stock goes up ...

... on a whim

Stock goes down on a whim.

Stock rallies or bleeds on profit margin declarations.

Stock doodz just having some fun no?

Don't worry

While Austerity runs in the foreground, Realignment runs in the background and eurobods draw the UK ability to huff-n-puff-n go blue in the face over renegotiating UK membership.

Like all good west end musicals this one too will run for a good many years (and what does that tell us about of freedoms of reporting?)?

Patents?

Hmmm it looks like MS cannot sell those patents after all.

Patent backlog warning?

And what if the UK exits the EU?

What if the EU boots out the UK?

Scotland goes UDI (Unofficial Declaration of Independence) and UK (well, England mostly) sends in SAS and 2 Para to secure RN nuclear sites in UDI Scotland?

Huh? Huh?

Besides UK (well England really) is much well on t'royd t'Duchy of Londres state with predictably landed gentry getting richer at expense of working or unworking folk.

Nothing changes yet everything changes and all stays the same?

Shock! Horror!

Shock!

Horror!

So what?

On the other hand ...

... isn't this what Microsoft, intel, AMD, Apple, google, ... have been doing for years?

Making IT and digital stuff doable, accessible and workable to the greater populace out there?

No?

EDIT: plus it reads more like Windows PowerToys than Excel macros (or even more like .bat workery)

Typical?

One local monopoly falls out with another bigger virtual-in-every-respect monopoly both of which have roots in public funding dependency.

Sad innit?

Easily-peasily?

Never, ever upgrade :-)

sad innit

Truth is procurement primarily goes to what once were publicly funded employees in a process designed by publicly funded employees so it isn't really surprising that this working method has yet to become unblocked and favours still publicly funded employees.

Attempting to unblock it must have been going on for at least 30 years.

The bureaucracy involved is (or was unless it has changed) chilling - European level, National level, local level (is there such a thing any more or is it another term for the public works department?)?

Then there is BT, or ... (usually gas, water or leccy utilities?) ...

Truth is: Ch slaves are funding Western overindulgences?

Brits know how to do this empire creaming off of resources stuff so very well?

Realism is hard?

Look - what is BT?

In terms of global enterprises it is a splat, splot, spot, UK dependent thingy.

Invoke a principle of reciprocity and watch BT subsequently squirm, squash, die as Ruski, Merican, Canadian, ... telecoms come in and compete on even levels?

Dear BT: some swords are two edged, watch which ones you dare and/or care to use?

Oh well, if it is ...

... political.

Corbyn (like Brown before him?) is a great person to have on a team.

Team captain = yes or no.

Yes probably = team fail.

No probably = team fail but not as quickly with a dash of false hope in the mix?

LOL?

LOL! Were they selling bootlegged n ahar Jim lad - pirated copies of Adobe software to bring in backdoor revenues?

Not sayin like you know mate just asking like you know guv'nor

- hick, hack sniff thwack?

Sounds like ...

... clear the pipeline we got a lot of new stuff coming in that we have to shift fast no?

EDIT: is there any broadcaster (terrestrial, satellite, dijital, ...) catering for 4kness anyway?

Above the law

If recent worldwide revelations (and in the UK non-revelations?) are anything to go by senior power brokers in the UK are above the law anyway?

Not by legislation, not by rule but merely by day-to-day practice of mis-filing, non-enacting, misplacing or turning a Nelsonian blind eye to whatever spins your boat?

Re: Photo

Is that guy in red jacket really having a sl*sh behind the post?

There aint nuthin smart about a smart meter?

What kind of system do they use in Germany?

So, so, so naive

Bureaucrats Tsk!

You humans, you never seem to learn do you?

Typical of ...

... an over bureaucratized state?

1 - the incident only become important when pwage affects employees (bureaucrats in the bureaucracy?)?

2 - it does not matter a jot what the content or risks to those individuals are (in fact its leaks are worse in effect than its whistleblowers stuff?)?

I could go on but you get the drift and all it boils down to is a "You did it-No, you did it" whitewash coverup.

Shame innit?

You humans - wot yoo like?

For increased efficiency?

What do they do in Germany?

I am sure it is far more efficient (and time proven to be so?) that anything the uk might have to offer?

So when ...

... will an Android desktop/laptop/notebook/big tablet with/without keyboards be available?

Has Big G got a business plan in place?

On the other hand ...

Do we really accept that the nation capable of keeping (almost?) all things secret until whistleblower(s) happen along will so readily and easily-peasily put its hands in the air and say "Cor Blimey! Yes Guv! We az ad our data nicked innit?"?

While at the same time cold shoulder or incarcerate whistleblowers?

Is it rat smelling time?

OFCOM = job 4 life?

Well I suppose OFCOM had to do something eventually just to justify its existence?

At this trickle rate and BT's overwhelming dominance in the market it looks as if jobs at OFCOM are going to be very, very safe?

Best approach?

(But first - Joke Alert: Local guvmint in the UK should have a large penis drawn about it?)

Any way it doesn't matter too much if the data were uploaded realtime - guvmint computer operators are dab hands at manipulating the databases anyway.

So really the best place the data should be uploaded to is our UK friendly and independent motoring bodies (RAC, AA, National or even Halfords?) with copies going automatically to guvmint database.

In fact, the data should be uploaded to an independently run database allowing free access by all and any with no editing rights afforded to either?

Definitely not to Highways Agency, local guvmint, central guvmint or any direct/indirect guvmint funded organisation.
