Comment KeePass (Score 1) 445

KeePass has served me well for four years now. Used in conjunction with dropbox. I've also got plugins for use with Chrome and TrueCrypt. As a personal solution it is fine. Not sure if it works as well for multiple users. Like the OP I've had problems with corporate password management. Software solutions seem to be either personal and cheap/free or large and eye wateringly expensive. I looked seriously at one about ten years back until I discovered that it was going to costs us approx. $20k

Comment It depends on the bank. (Score 1) 712

A well run profitable bank should pay the CEO well. If a bank is fixing the LIBOR rate or knowingly selling inappropriate products to the customer or destroying SMEs in order to asset strip them or randomly adding charges then continuing to pay them vast amounts after these events come to light sends out the wrong signal. You just need to look at the Bob Diamond case at Barclays to see how twisted the system is. On the other hand the tech sector is actually making things. Real wealth creation. Real progress. Real innovation.

Comment Already being done in UK (Score 1) 409

I spent about a year as a contractor for a UK Police Force in 2001 and they already had tracking in their patrol cars then. From a technical point of view it worked reliably most of the time with the occasional blip. It helped the police supervisors and control rooms have an instant overall view of where resources were located. Cars were shown on a map overlay with their call signs and info of what call they were dealing with. It was linked to the command and control system so when a car was sent on an emergency call it automatically wrote an entry on the call log when the car arrived at the scene. Very useful as evidence in car chases. It was accurate enough to see what lane the car was driving in. And yes, it was used to successfully prosecute officers for speeding when not on emergency calls. My point of view on this is that every police back office worker has everything they enter onto any police system date stamped and recorded against their user ID, why should patrol officers be exempt from scrutiny?
