What a strange story.

Why were you challenged?
You do know that if police point a firearm at you - it has to be justified exactly the same as discharging it.

I say they should have shot you for talking nonsense, your story is full of holes. Even a 7 year old retarded kid would have some questions.

I still have a BT phone line, but my ISP is with BE There, a LLU provider who have their own equipment in my exchange.

It's cheaper and much faster. With BT I was limited to 8/1 mb/s, whereas on BE I get 24/2 mb/s. In practice I sync at 16/2. So it's twice as fast for half the cost. The support is much better, I can use the "Live Chat" feature to make changes to my broadband profile, ask technical and billing questions, without being stuck on the phone. I find writing technical questions much easier than trying to explain it over the phone.

Using smaller LLU companies really offers a lot more value to the consumer.

Friends of mine who aren't really bothered about fast internet speeds are taking our Sky Broadband as part of their satellite TV package, costing an extra £5 or £6 per month. You can't compete against that for the money, single billing provider etc.

"seems to hint it was sold to the highest bidder"

Do you have any evidence to support this, or are you just guessing based on a "seems to hint" gut feeling?

Not with two factor and signed challenge/response.

Say I want to send you £100 from my bank account.
First in my banks browser I enter my membership number and last 4 digitals of my debit cart.
I insert the debit card into my card reader and press [Identify], then enter my PIN.
If correct it displays an 8 digit number which I enter into the login form and press submit.

Once logged into my online banking I click "Make a payment".
Then I enter your account number and amount into my browser.
My bank now asks me to enter my PIN, the account number and the amount due to be paid - into my card reader and to press [Sign].

This generates another 8 digit code, which is obviously unique to the datetime/account/amount.

Now it's possible an end user could be forced or duped into entering the wrong money and defrauded. It's also possible they could be stupid and write down their membership number, PIN and lose their debit card and before they report it stolen and be defrauded.

But it's much more effective than just a password.

When using PIN Sentry (Challenge/Reponse card readers) the account number and amount are part of the signing algorthim. So they cannot work for any other account or any other amount of money.

Yes and I'm convinced that my local council in the UK uses a copy of Simcity to implement road planning and routes: one way systems, traffic lights, road works, etc.

It's quite obvious the user doesn't have a driving licence or drive in my local area, since the decisions they make are completely insane and illogical from a practical point of view, they just look pretty in Simcity.

If you extend javascripts prototype, then they do exist - as does any other event which you care to fire and listen for.

Check the Sencha framework for an example of iOS and Android framework which implements these events and allows you to use these handlers.

I must be new here because this is one of the most retarded /. comments ever.

By your logic a tablet is better at browsing any site that makes use of swipe, pinch, zoom events.

The thing is, it's not just 1 truck and the water. As you saw from the footage the sheer amount of debris in the water would be your major problem, not drowning just because you're in the water per se.

I think the safest thing that driver could do was to put their foot to the floor and drive as aggressively away from the coast line as they could, trying to stick to the roads and make sure that they don't overcook it going round a corner and blow out a tyre.

It would certainly take some confidence to drive out of a situation like that without panicing and being left a sitting duck in the middle of the road, immobilized by fear.

Users will complain about anything.

One thing I've found out after a few years of rolling out software to companies with inefficient workflow, is that users absolutely hate change.

They are not really interested in the profits, or how something could perhaps work more efficiently ... they want to come into work, do the same job they did yesterday (easy) and go home to their families. They don't want to learn new systems or get their head around new implementations. That requires engaging the brain and interacting with the software rather than just clicking the same old buttons over and over.

There is also the fear of embracing a new software product which may make them redundant, so they resist and complain and wish things were the way they were before so they can go back to sleep for the rest of their 8 hour shift.

I think the days of people in business playing the dumb card ("I don't know anything about computers, I stay away from them!") are slowly dying. At some point it won't be acceptable to be dumb computer user or "IT illiterate" anymore than not being able to read about write is acceptable in most business environments today.

Governments will be even worse, everyone will have an opinion about what should be happening and the entire thing will drown in red tape. Can you imagine?!

Ultimately it's about giving the German public the very best value for their taxes they pay, who cares what the OS is? Linux or Windows, it'll always be poorly received by the users.

It wasn't luck that Geo or SomeOneElse leaked the keys, it was inevitable due to Sonys poor crypto implementation. Sony will be to blame, is responsible, and has to somehow mitigate the damage that's been done.
