...but Wired UK is a poor impersonation of Wired US. So much so that both editions go on sale side-by-side here in the UK. Not sure what the circulation figures for both are here but I buy the US edition.

I'd like to see the evidence that points to an inverse relationship between open source and open APIs. This article mentions it in the title but there's nothing in the (marketing) article confirming this.

UK Afghanistan veteran (summer past) here. I have never heard of this game. In our unit we had something called a SAAT indoor electronic range. It offered a series of acted out simulations that soldiers/marines 'walked through' and at the end gave a report with accuracy of shot, etc and a replay of the scenario so you could see fall of shot and how well individuals coped with life/death decisions. It was obviously photo realistic and had real (deactivated) weaponry with a few added sensors. I could be wrong but I think this kind of range is on practically all infantry bases in the UK. The only possible thing this software could give you extra would be the ability to practice squad-based orders & movement. But I'm not sure how that's cheaper than just doing for real outside.

b) The speculation is based around the fact that the pacemaker itself is the 'mission'-critical system - in the report the scientist states other microchip implants could become infected from the external controller. Potentially peer-2-peer models could negate the need for an external carrier.

Or put another way, personally speaking I wouldn''t really give a rats ass if my printer server is down as a result of this when my pacemaker's just suffered a dos attack...

crutch computing would be more accurate.

We drop flash, silverlight, javafx and all the other browser plugins currently being concocted in favour of a browser standard. HTML Canvas anyone? That way my netbook might have a chance of running the new internets
