Here here, without giving too much away, I'm living 4 miles away from an inconsequential town 40 miles from London; Believe me mbb is dire. Interestingly (I've tried a few) three provides the most reliable connectivity, a co-resident had to switch from EE to three because her shiny new andoid phone did nothing of use except make phone calls.
I see the light, anyone getting hot and bothererd about Monsanto should check out Syngenta. In the mid 1990's they see no moral/ethical issue at all with selling mercury (mercuric phenyl acetate) based fungicidal seed treatments to third world countries when they were not permitted to do so in developed first world nations(red list). I might know someone who worked at a facility that may have prepared and handled this material. ;))) Read about these agri-business' and feel the love
I'm patched ... phew!

Uh Oh, what about my router? That's *nix, let's hope it's busybox. TaDahh! We now have 'Security by assumption'
That Stuart Sheitter wrote this and it would appear he's very comfortable with the nature of herr Zuckerbergs online manipulations - See 3.2 of the document. WTF, facef@ck has an IRB? Of course all participants had the right to wihdraw from the study, yeh right.
This is all so depressing, yet at the same time is totally unsurprising. Sheeple buy shiny looking AV, it has a big green tick, everything MUST be safe. Think again.
As an aside, does anyone here have OS expertise? , only this DARPA drone OS goes open source caught my eye recently. Could the legend Tanenbaum be right in his assertion that micro-kernel based OS's are the way to go? What are the chances of this being forked and another class of OS coming to the fore. Just curious
One word : Bollox. Figures from George Osbourne should under all circumstances always be treated with utmost suspicion, whats 7 times 8 mr osbourne? The man cannot be trusted with figures despite his math A level. Check his wikipedia biography, contains a few examples of his fast and loose approach to numbers.
The best bit of w@nk is, grown men wasted 1600 hours sketching up a star-trek alike interstellar, faster than the speed of light fantasy (is this physically possible? - didn't say theoretically https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive note : https://twitter.com/malcubierre/status/362011821277839360) ... Fuck mine, that beggars belief, I'm in the wrong job.
Sometimes the law needs to take account of all the facts, and sometimes leniency toward peaceful protest should be encouraged. In the UK and US I suspect he would have felt the full weight of the law, and would no doubt be relishing a long stay behind bars, but then I'm a bit cynical.

Don't know about you lot, strikes me that the 'man made climate change denier' mob are either very selfish (bugger the future generations) or are very certain about things we only have 100 years worth of reliable evidence to make models with or draw any inference from. Personally I'd rather side with the environment lobby, at least there's no irreversible catastrophic harm in that view.
I read somewhere that apparently 'the coalition' could not agree about anything to do with this (3 months of cabinet discussion), and so the whole thing was was moved to a closed door session between the 3 main parties senior figures. At said meeting it would appear every ones concerns about privacy and basic human rights were weighed up against the security, and best interest of us all.
That's how freedom and democracy works for our best interest, or so it would seem.
PS Anyone taking bets on whether the EU is taking a very dim view, and whether or not UK.gov gets slapped with another EU high court ruling ?
@Billa Bong Some one should pitch that to them, NSA data recovery service, deleted that CV, or old photo of cuddles the pet hamster. Pay $10 and the NSA can restore any files you accidentally deleted in the last 12 months. PO, debit, or credit cards accepted 0800 000 666
Does no one read Orwell, Huxley, etc. etc... any more ? : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dystopian_literature . The politicians are merely imitating art, as we all sleep walk into the future no one ever imagined could happen - baahh.
