I can see a problem with this

If we are sharing the NHS fibre, then what is to stop some entrprising script kiddie from tapping the NHS data? Genuine question, I have no real idea how the system is intended to work.

No reciprocal agreement

"There is no reciprocal agreement for European intelligence agencies to mine US banking data."

Just the same as extradition then, still I am sure the Americans won't misuse this...

I approve, but am not sure why they want to do this

I mean, if you set off a bomb using a mobile phone, then how much of the phone will be left to identify who's it was? Seems like an excuse to get all the phones registered to me.

Where is the file?

But a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Police told us it had handed a file to the CPS in July but had not yet heard back from them.

Its probably on a train somewhere then.

Lunchtime

"The Pentagon's famous bad-boy scientists, DARPA* - who slap the pendulous jowls of established wisdom with the gauntlet of disregard ".

Do you deliberately wait until lunchtime before you post these articles - you must have shares in a keyboard manufacturer,

Looks good enough

but the article does not seem to mention what range it has if driven at slower than 100. Anybody want to make a guess?

I would imagine

that Best Western are telling the truth here - after all, if 8 million records had been compromised then we would soon hear about it. Probably the reporter asked how many records were in the system, not how many could be reached using the compromised password and just ran from there. After all, how newsworthy would it be to state "Great Western computer network hacked, ten records may have been read"?

Carefull there Lewis,

By exposing this kind of rubbish the authors may loose their jobs. They may well think their writing skills (at least fictional anyway) may justify them getting a similar job to you, thus giving you competition for the title of most amusing commentator on military matters.

@ Flatspot

FYI, Philatelic services are to do with stamp collecting and Smilers are a particular type of stamp. The first term has been around for years but the second; well, it probably did come fromt the whale song department.

How can this be?

If the phone lines were jammed, then surely as many fans on one side would be unable to get through as the other. Or are they implying that the voting company knew what the person's vote was and blocked those who wanted to vote for Rhydian?
