Re: Re. solar flare

Jammers over power the original signal so even if you detect its false you still have no bearing on the proper signal

Wolf.........

Like the boy that cried Wolf if the security services keep over reacting to such things based on the teeny,tiniest,smallest piece of evidence the public in general are going to get rather more and more insensitive to the situation.Then when the water does peek over the dam the citizens are going to think its once more just another excersize of authoritarian muscle flexing.

Lords take revenge on revenge porn publishers

So the Politicians have turned into Americans now

They consider that they rule the internet and all its content.Much like the recent UK threat to prosecute both on-line trolling and downloading of child abuse images this horse wont even leave the starting gates before the Met Police say they dont have the resources to cope with the consequences of the law.

The Politicians will say they will provide extra finances, the next election will take place and the laws will recede into the ambiguity of lawyers fees.

Re: Rock and Roll is a young man's game

Revealed: Malware that forces weak ATMs to spit out 'ALL THE CASH'

Re: Risk VS Cost

I guess only if the loss exceeds maybe 10 or 100 times amount of a tellers wage would the bank employ and actual person rather than a machine..........now theres a novelty why don't we have humans dispense the cash instead and make some jobs in the economy.

I don't see dead people: Twitter to nix some images of deceased folk

Immediate access to the real names of the people sending her those images

Hmm can of worms in that statement,whilst I despise those who have done such I don't think allowing the freedom of any vendor to give user details to anybody is a good idea besides which I recon most of them will have fake details anyway.

Re: Its not difficult to wipe 99% of the data from a device

Depends where system cache and password files are stored on Android devices they may be in a different memory area to general music storage.Even if in the same srea I doubt the device would allow full memory use before baulking with some form of memory error.

EE rolls out London bus pay-by-bonk app – only fandoids need apply

Didnt I read

That Oyster charge the companys a tad more than credit/debit cards per transaction hence maybe why they are trying to move away from the option.

Re: Too posh for the bus?

On the contrary I dislike traveling with people coughing and wheezing over me and trying to get into my personal space all the time.That and the fact who ever invented Bus suspension must have had a previous job as a fayre ground ride designer.

Buses.....

Nay never they go anywhere and everywhere on the way to the place where you actually want to go and take an age doing it and they're full of mostly noisy, self centered and rude people [including some of the drivers].

BTW Most credit/debit cards already have NFC forced upon the user anyway, should you insist on using another insecure form of payment.
