I have a smart 3dtv, I bought that model because it was the cheapest way to get an LCD/LED backlit TV with enough HDMI sockets for my gear.

All the cheap non-smart/non-3d TV on the market in my price range and target screen size maxed out at 2 HDMI sockets, moving up to a smart TV gained me an extra HDMI and 3D... Moving up a model again gained another HDMI...

I use none of the smart tv features - my dvr does them better...

Because the BBC is stuffed full with left nut jobs the way Fox is full of right wing nut jobs...

In other words he was a typical test pilot of the time.

So you won't mind living in a fascist state?
As that is where all this leads to.

An episode of NCIS had a girl bumping into strangers with a NFC skimmer http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1683271/ NCIS season 8 episode 8 - Enemies Foreign

We had a similar story. Our local exchange (500m away) got 21cn and they (BT) refused to sells us a faster 21cn connection because we already had a 2mb leased line (from before BT's 8mb adsl max rollout) and they could not sell us a cheaper solution...

I know just enough vi to get my favourite editor compiled & installed if I can't get a package...

Agreed in principle. However I still use the TWM setup i came up with on SunOS4 back at college 20+ years ago.

So the DOJ did the right thing by accident then?

MS will get so large and lethargic it will slowly rot to death from the inside?

Sounds like someone played the long game...

Slap you vpn admin until he sets up split-tunnelling properly if your vpn locks out your lan.

I use a cisco asa based vpn and with split tunnelling turned on at the host i can still use my lan while vpn is connected.

You just must have a different subnets for the local & remote.

There is no reason for PAM ever

Nuff said

Usual one is

Postcode: SW1A 2AA
House number: 10 or 11

Or: SW1A 0AA

some people don't have any credit cards or even any other kind of card a card processor would accept.

Changes in PHP 6
Issue: Register globals are the source of many application's security problems and cause a constant grief.

Discussion: We shortly discussed how we want to attend users on the disappearance of this functionality. We decided that if we find the setting during the startup of PHP we raise an E_CORE_ERROR which will prevent the server from starting with a message that points to the documentation. The documentation should explain why this functionality was removed, and some introduction on safe programming.

Conclusions:

We are going to remove the functionality.
We throw an E_CORE_ERROR when starting PHP and when we detect the register_globals setting

Issue: Magic_quotes can be cumbersome for application developers as it is a setting that can be set to on or off without any influence from within the script itself as input parameters are escaped before the script starts.

Discussion: In the same way as with the remove of the register_globals functionality, we decided that if we find the setting during the startup of PHP we raise an E_CORE_ERROR which will prevent the server from starting with a message that points to the documentation. The documentation should explain why this functionality was removed, and point the users at the input_filter extension as replacement.

Conclusions:

We remove the magic_quotes feature from PHP.
We throw an E_CORE_ERROR when starting PHP and when we detect the magic_quotes, magic_quotes_sybase or magic_quotes_gpc setting.

They are also planning on getting rid of the non-PDO db stuff at a future date.
