That sounds remarkably like the Avrocar, which was a stupendous failure because it was impossible to control - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A...

How is that any different from Slashdot at any point over the past 15 years?

Their security record is rubbish - I've had two occasions on which my Twitter account was compromised, both times an unknown (to me) device was added to my Twitter account without my knowledge and spam tweets were made. My Twitter password is unique to twitter, and I have only ever used it to log in from my mobile devices, so the likelihood of the breach being due to something my end is exceedingly small. Have a quick search around, this is a known issue - there is an unacknowledged problem with Twitters auth system for adding devices.

Why is no one in these meetings asking the fecking obvious question - why were her emails only stored on the one hard disk? What happened to the server side store? The archives? The on site backups? The off site backups?

Here, they wouldn't even designate the space outside our house as disabled (as my wife is), so they aren't going to designate it as electric only :)

What about those of us who cannot charge the vehicle at our own premises? On street parking, pavement between the road and the car, no guarantee of a parking space outside the house etc etc.

Its been a big problem in Catholic schools for decades, well before free schools were created.

Most high importance stadiums have cameras on wires, as you said you thought it was initially - but are you aware that they aren't just on wires that allow them to move forward and backward? These days they are connected to four wires (north, south, east and west), and can travel in all directions, can be lowered to the height of the pitch, raised to a given maximum height, and do all sorts of things (the wires have pulleys at each end, which lengthen or shorten the wire as required - work all 4 in tandem and you have 360 degree movement) - its no longer just one linear direction of travel.

Thats probably what you saw, rather than a drone.

Turn that feature off it you dont need it, its there to specifically make web browsing hard on a server...

In the UK insurance industry, this is very well regulated - the accepted norm is that you cannot make an assumption, so a checkbox which is neither checked nor unchecked when presented to the user is non-acceptable, with insurance companies moving to either a Yes/No radio set with neither options selected by default, or a drop down with no default value selected.

I have no doubt that the sale won't count until its non-returnable.

When a vendor accepts a transaction via anything other than chip and pin, they take on significantly more responsibility for that transaction, and thus many vendors simply choose to decline those transactions.
