Because I am not in a-marry-car you insensitive clod!

Yeah but he is not a troll, he is just telling the truth. In the US you have kids with leukemia with parents unable to afford the best treatment, but hey you it's OK because you can go to the moon! In the UK we have our kids looked after and getting the treatment they need but no moon..

guess what I would rather have.

Looks like nobody took you seriously ;-)

Quite. I was walking past Pizza Hut the other day and they were trying to send their bluetooth shite to my phone. Not being happy with their crap spamming my phone and noticing the little bluetooth ad box plugged in by the window, I popped in and turned it off.

NO I DONT WANT A BLOODY PIZZA HUT SPECIAL OFFER.

Well atually, part of the appeal is that when you have an apple, you know that all the people with scuzzy £400 craptops that will have plastic bits flapping off within a few months will look on with envy.

If apple kit was cheap then loads more people would have it and it would loose most of its appeal.

Its kind of like buying a Porsche, yeah they are overpriced, but that keeps the peasents from having them which is good.

I didn't even get my install to boot up!
A memory leak would have been luxury...

My mother-in-law is from Trinidad, this explains everything. I always thought there was something a little odd about the way she spent so much time filling up the petrol in the car. I thought that odd sulphurous smell was the cream she used for a skin condition.

And all along, she was just a hydrocarbon sucking pitch lake alien!

But I bet they don't loose their luggage....

You didn't use Linux?

The OS that just took 5 hours to install on a new box and then needed to grab a LOAD of patches to fix stuff, but it seems that patches are no longer available so I'll be selling a few V480s on Ebay in the next week or so and buying some more DELLs.

Though it was quite handy to be able to break into my old SS10 with the 'telnet -l "-fbin"' exploit when I forgot the passwords..

Sheesh.

This is dumb. The terrorists will just get their mates in another country to get whatever it is they want.

Only the kind of stupid Americans that though that restricting the export of encryption technology would actually work would think of this. What happened there? They all got it anyway.

What exactly do they hope to achieve with this stupidity?

Good point, Sheila's Cleaners may get their contact database and steal all their business. This is why we should all hire a "Independent Mac and iPhone contractor, specialising in security issues." to make sure that we don't get pwned like this.

Now I have tried Sheila's cleaners and they are just not as good. For one, they didn't clean the table under the tablecloth and then they didn't iron my boxers.

If you run a cleaning company or you're a group of plumbers or perhaps you have a fairly large landscape gardening company then your data just is not that important or a target. So this survey is really quite useless, so what is Agnes Cleaners do not encrypt their thumb drives with their cleaning rota on it? Nobody cares. So whilst all organisations should encrypt just because it is sensible, not all organisations really need to bother because the likelihood of anything happening to their data is so small that it's just not worth the effort of sorting out the idiots who call up the part-time IT admin guy because they have forgotten their encryption key (again).
