The title and summary seem to suggest that the system as a whole has had a failure of some kind, though it's nothing of the likes. It's just the analogue > digital switchover means that people will "lose" access to it, however the BBC provides digital services anyway.

Anonymous targets UK government websites with DDoS->

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes "'Anonymous' have run co-ordinated DDoS attacks against the websites of the UK Home Office (http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/), 10 Downing Street (http://www.number10.gov.uk/), and the Ministry of Justice (http://www.justice.gov.uk/).

This was in protest of government plans for real-time monitoring of calls, e-mails, texts and website visits of everyone in the UK, plus also in support of Gary McKinnon and Richard O'Dwyer (http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2012/04/07/anonymous-attacks-home-office/).

The website for the United States House of Representatives (http://www.house.gov/) was attacked at the same time."

CLC work was performed on a 64Gb RAM MacPro with 6.5Tb of Disk and 12 hyperthreaded Cores (24 threads total).

I looked at the README and cringed. These are really top-notch scientists, though they can't even get their (b)its and (B)ytes correct.

Going by what they said, the setup had 8GB RAM with 812.5GB of disk.

I hope that they don't mix up other measurements like this!

When you are working hard, get up and retch every so often.

Working...
