That is

Balls.

as much significance as the first.

Dark {side||Ages}

The darkness alluded to is in our minds.

As with the Dark Ages. The sun rose, but the records fell apart, and we can't see what happened.

Re: As time goes on the space program gets more amazing to me @jake

Balls.

Re: Trial version of Windows

Since Q-DOS?

Re: My local GP

Really your gp?

Or someone with your details signing his name?

Re: Galileo blocking BeiDou

It might require two ships bieng in those vicinities which otehrwise would not, but it probably wouldn't.

Re: Between my wife and myself

There's a hospital database, and a national one, or two, and each department keeps a list of addresses and uses that, except when individuals within it keep tehir own list.

You'd think they don't trust the central ones.

And yes, you should be asked each time, and ideally should answer truthfully.

I think you are only the controller

if you have control.

There's an NHS IT case of that - centralised and incompletely responsive services where GPs are accused of being the data controllers. They don't, they are not.

Re: This could be a hit in the NHS ...

Assuming there is support.

It is never going to rain enough

Relax on that.

(And generally we have too much, or too little water; food etc. Too much is better)

Those words may not mean what you think...

and probably are not an accurate paraphrase.

As written, you say that if Ms Clinton used a server, the dept had to approve it.

I think you are trying to say there was a prohibition on operating, of using an operating, server before approval.

And I'm not sure that would be true either - all candidates will have email systems.

Re: Second hand software........

An odd rumour.

Re: Citation needed

Encryption to specific recipients and groups, and serving files off one's own machine are perhaps going to get more interesting.

There is a corollary to an ID card

Which is that it should be illegal to demand of seek any other evidence of identity, residence etc if the ID card is presented.

There is a desirable design feature as well, the questions the card should answer should only be those necessary:-

Is this card held by its owner?

Is the owner over 18?

Is the owner licenced to operate a car?

The rest should not be disclosed, or demanded.

We have several

"The UK has its own bilateral trade relations with the US. It also works through the European Union (EU). In 2007, the EU and US set up the TransAtlantic Economic Council (TEC), with forums for business, consumers and legislators to promote open trade."

You might be thinking of an FTA or a single market or a customs union perhaps?

20-30 agreements the minute...

Balls, alas.

Re: Responsibility

More complex than that with registered medical professionals.

Re: re: the rights to redistribute them are lacking

One of the features of FLOSS.

It seems unlikely they want to be a FLOSS company, did they write all their code themselves ?

Re: @ adam payne

No it isn't.

General Practices have always had the destination of the notes concealed - patient leaves and registers elsewhere, the notes are called for by the health authority (by whatever name it is known that week).

Our HA used to run the courier service, collect them, sort them, send them out again, of forward to the other HA if the patient had moved a long way.

Since then assorted lashups have come in, but it still isn't the receptionists faults.

IANAG but that talks about a hydrated mineral.

Re: Bigots

You are quite confident of not suffering from someone else's untreated disease?

Optimist.

Your attitude to people is another matter on which I'll not discourse.

Re: The more I listen to the EU...

You miss the point.

The EU have observed our standards being adopted elsewhere, not demanded it, in the same way California's standards have been adopted across the USA in many things. The standards are good, and compliance with them pragnatically ensures compliance with others, thus avoiding doing the work twice.

If the EU allowed the UK as a third country to interfere with the EU standard then other their countries would expect similar opportunities.

There is nothing in it for the EU in subordinating any element of its standards to outsiders, so they won't.

Re: Can I Just Point Out ...

There should be two values though.

Too much exposure produces an alert;

But too little exposure, suggesting not much work going on, is also notable, no?

Re: Apropos of GDPR...

What rate did you get when it was overutilised at lunchtime?

Until they realised they could

use an old plug and put both cables into one.

Re: So...

I have.
