It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in.

It is thought by many cosmologists that the Universe is infinite due to theories like inflation, it is not known whether it is or not.

However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds..

Incorrect, even assuming a tiny probability like only one in 10^20 worlds have intelligent like, that results in an infinite number of worlds. The likely reason for us not seeing any evidence is that intelligent life is rare, space between stars is large and there is a maximum speed limit c which takes a stupendous amount of energy to approach.

An intelligent life form would I hope not be silly enough to create von-Neumann probes because evolution would likely mean that in cosmological time they would evolve to create a hegemonizing swarm which would be impractical to eradicate.

I'm glad that Microsoft simplified their licensing at last.

The same is true for manually operated vehicles as well.

Until now the stories about the Investigatory Powers Bill have been hard to gauge as the bill was not published, but now it is.

The Slashdot title, "Internet Firms To Be Banned From Offering Unbreakable Encryption Under New UK Laws" looks to be wrong or at least misleading. The relevant part of the bill states:

62. ... b. RIPA requires CSPs to provide communications data when served with a notice, to assist in giving effect to interception warrants, and to maintain permanent interception capabilities, including maintaining the ability to remove any encryption applied by the CSP to whom the notice relates. 63. ...The draft Bill will not impose any additional requirements in relation to encryption over and above the existing obligations in RIPA. ...

So Communications Service Providers can have strong encryption, as long as they keep the key and hand it over when required as they are required already by the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000. The horse has already bolted.
