Comment Now im curious (Score 1) 431

Sure makes me wonder what the heck has government of England got it self involved into... Must be something really bad if PM is making threats to news outlets. Personally i'm glad Snowden decided to reveal what e knows. Now we all get to know exactly how much NSA has been spying on us all. Long live the queen, down the PM.

Sounds like feds are going to have uphill battle in court trying to prove all these beyond reasonable dought. After all in court its not what they say, but what they can actually prove. Lets just hope some innocent people docent come forward and claim those bitcoing to be stolen by feds from them... Would be embarrashing, not to mention blow feds case out of water...

This just goes to show, badboys might find way in at any time. So rest of us needs to stay vigilant of out system. System that was presumed secure yesterday, may have hole in it that was discovered today...

I use mine for php/python development platform, very nice, very easy to move with me if needed. Just little sad broadcom is not exactly opensource and those chips are locked down pretty tight even on datasheet side.

Comment Yeah it works... (Score 2) 478

Works so well to others in past? Have those idiot decision makers ever needed to deal with it ptoblems themselfs? Corporation i worked has outsources its it support services... HIghlights from last 3 years: - Installing 30 cm patch cable to crossover cabin took 8 months... God knows why... - Broken computers gets replaced withing 2-3 weeks... ok i work in manufacturing side so no biggie, i can wait... - Any changes/corrections to those stupid excell spreadsheets we are forced to use takes months usually.. yeah lets outsource it, more byrocracy, more red tape, less utility... I think main problem is that who ever answers the support call at that time, docent know our systems. We have no dedicated support staff. Still remember the time i could just call inhouse IT support and things would be fixed in couple hours, even if it was about computer being totally broken. They just pulled new one on shelf and configured.. not anymore...

Comment In the beginning (Score 5, Insightful) 195

In the beginning it was "Think of children". In my country they drived throw illegal censorship (Our constitution denies censorship). They claimed it would be overseen, etc... It wold only effect servers not in our country.. Today its used for much more then just what it was originally intended. It censors sites critical to to this censorship system, it censors pirate sites (not even claimed to distribute child related material), etc... Censorship is such a dangerous road. Once you take the first step, its so easy to take another and then another and then another.... Until you are light year away from what was originally intended. Theres no oversight of system. List is classified, Who manages that list is classified, and theres no court oversight of it. So if you are wrongly places on censor list, theres no way to get out. It volantery system for ISP to be part of, except if you dont implement it volantery theres law we can make it... Personally i believe its problem of democracy. Too many old folks on power that dont understand modern world. They think sweeping problem under the rug is doing something, because that seemed to work in past. Child related issues will not go away if you put them under the rug, you need to take action... Unfortunately censorship is the wrong choice of action. Smoke and mirror trick that leaves problem un-handled..
