I've worked for government in the Netherlands and I know how much a government desk top PC costs there. The Dutch government isn't as efficient as they can be with these, but 6000 UK pounds is still a lot more than the governmental institute I was working for was spending on their office IT infrastructure, per seat. If you would count in not just the Windows desktops but the Linux desktops they had there as well, you'd be looking at another 30% saving per seat, over the 2 platforms combined. The article may not be looking at "hidden costs" as much as they should, but even if you do, it's way too expensive.

    On your previous message, you got what the news failed to. The cars were all Honda, Acura being a division of Honda.

    Really, I wouldn't be surprised if it's what you're thinking. It may not be the trigger detection, but all kinds of other pesky things. It does seem to take close proximity to the passenger door handle. Otherwise, they'd just roll through parking lots to see which cars unlock.

    It would be really embarrassing for Honda if it turned out to be a simple ultrasonic emitter would trip up a sensor and unlock the door. :)

If the police arrives with a warrant, you don't have to open the door for them. It is not a crime to not open that door. However, they have the right to knock it down and you can't claim damages that you may occur because of it. You don't have to actively assist the police in serving the warrant. As long as you are not actively obstructing them (putting up extra barricades, destroying evidence after they announced their warrant), you're not doing anything illegal.

If you know there is evidence against you on the encrypted device, you would be incriminating yourself by turning it over to the police. The police can presume there is evidence on the drive, but presumption is not proof. Once you hand over that evidence, it would be admissible and thus self incriminating.

You can't force someone to hand over that key. Not now and not in the past. However, the police has the right to open the safe any way they find fit if there is a search warrant. If they open the safe and you get convicted based on evidence found in the safe, the damage to the safe is yours to pay for. If they find evidence inside the locked safe, it's found in a lawful way and is admissible as evidence.

If they opened the safe without a proper warrant, they would be liable for damages to the safe and anything found inside the safe would not be admissible as evidence in a court case. That is why there are warrants. They are not about forcing people to hand over keys.

Also, the cameras don't record altitude or position. The GPS unit senses it and the computer unit in the lower part of the backpack records it on the SSD. The cameras aren't actually gopro equivalent. Their sensors have less pixels, but better sensitivity and color depth. The lenses are a lot less distorting than the ones on gopro cameras and have much less lens flare.

Windows RT mail does not work with POP email accounts.

Are you serious? Please tell me it at east supports IMAP.

Samba 4 has a ways to go before it can replace AD. Believe me, I'd love nothing better than a drop in replacement for Windows Server, but I think Samba has at least another three or four years before it reaches that point.

I would imagine the reason for this is because of MS's enterprise penetration. I don't see Microsoft leaving the enterprise any time soon. But I can see its consumer market shrinking considerably.

The public seem to be reacting by buying lots of Nexus 7s.

No, it should be offloaded on to the applicants.

All your base pairs are us!

You're no different, just coming from the other side. At least the other guy didn't act like a total prick.

Yeah, she's a substance abusing mess these days. I think she's burned way too many bridges to ever make it into a mainstream Hollywood film again.

Ah good, a Serb appears to explain their conduct in the Balkans. As usual its everyone else's fault.

Because the Serbs were oh so innocent.
