Re: Completely pointless anyway (@Crazy Operations Guy)

"Well, MDM is quite often used to deploy policies and enable provisioning/wiping company data (its own apps for instance). It can thus enforce locking and other security policies, but it can't unlock your phone per se (well, they can factory reset/wipe it if so configured, but it wouldn't help in this case, quite the contrary) - they need PIN IIRC, not MDM password (which could be remotely reset)."

@bri. The above is incorrect - San Bernadino were using MobileIron on some of their devices, the unlock command is pretty starightforward in there (select the user > actions > unlock in the admin portal), as long as it had some network connectivity and power they would be able to get in.

How much would a BOFH branded cattle prod cost?

Re: Time to start taxing these lard buckets

It wouldn't be a surprise if a significant portion of our obese fell into the economically inactive category. If you also want to reduce the benefits paid to these people you'd have my support, however if you want to tax obese people more just to feed our bloated & obese government then count me out.

Re: Populism and the Licence

The main problem with the BBC news output is that it is basically The Guardian TV. When I worked there a large proportion of their external recruitment was done using adverts in the Guardian media section on Mondays, so it is hardly surprising that if you recruit using a certain newspaper that you end up with a disproportionate number of their readers among your workforce.
