RCD

Whats this RCD ?? Never heard if it. If you brits used proper GFI :)

Oh by the way, in America you will see individual circuits GFI so as not to trip the whole house.

Umm

Dont say that to loud CHarles . It just might happen

Mentality

"Luckily, my daughter was with me when I opened the bill and told me not to worry about it. "

Its that kind of mentality why we 419 e-mails going around. I know greed is a part of it but if people were able to think and just delete those emails the net would be a better place. Nope we have people like her that think a 90m pound bill could possibly be legit. We are not talking about Bill gates tax bill here.

@TrishaD

in that case she is suing the wrong person. If a drunk driver hits you, you dont sue Ford. The only way I could see this if the was a size 16 trying to fit into a size 10.

umm no

As I understand it, the US system is as it is because they screwed up the numbering system; so the caller can not tell if they are calling a person's a landline or their cell phone. So, to be fair they get charged the same, and the receiver pays for the convinience of mobility.

Cell phones have their own prefixes separate from land lines. In some states cell phones have a separate area codes .

@Can't it still be used from the US anyway

nope . Telcos' can be fined for knowing displaying a DID that is not on the account

Hmmm

"one in five jobs in data and network cabling go unfilled, a shortfall representing 61,000 jobs in the UK alone."

Just a stupid yank , but I thought this was about data cabling. I didn't see any thing about cisco training, IT degrees nope just data cabling. Maybe my reading comprehension bad. Yep I just see data cabling .

Drugs are involed

By the writer of the article if he expects us to believe it.

On the off hand its true(checks the temperature of hell) The person living there would have to be stoned out of their mind every day. In which case why didn't the police arrest the owner of the loft ??

I'd would believe a sales person when they say trust me before I'd believe this story.

"If BT and the IC can treat the law with such contempt I think we should be able to totally ignore the UK crime and punishment statutes and for BT's obviously "special" case reinstate Trial By Ordeal:

I'm cool with that. Since the US dollar is falling I 'll just hop a plane, work in the UK for five years and then fly back home with loads GBP. Oh wait I have a tan I might get shot by the plods on the way in

@UK is not a surveillance society,

Right cause they have not rolled out the national ID, taken every ones DNA and chipped every new born,.

The first two are coming to a person near you. I'm just waiting till the UK puts up the razor wire and land mines

how to stop it

Simple every time the have a data breach make them pay $1000 to every persons that had their data exposed. If the people become a victim of identity theft they company has to pay. If they don't pay up with in 30 days its a $1000 a day fine. The companies would be automatically responsible for the first two years. No proof needed it. The companies would have a liability for a total of ten years after the breach.

Repeated offense would see the fine double.

@Rob Briggs

(me) and Irish (my wife) we please to be told that for foreigners names from our family backgrounds would be considered.

WTF you cant use Names from another language if you are swiss. That's they way it sounds like

@Doug Lynn

Its a test. If you under stand him and admit to it, the men in the white coats will pick you up.

Rick Berry

Take a look at "Billionaires' Row" (the place where obama belittled Americans behind closed doors...) in San Francisco. There are a lot of gaps in the street views that just can't be explained other than "money talks."

They get the pics from traffic cam. There are plenty of areas in San Jose that have gaps. These are not in the rich section..

citizen's arrest

In CA a citizen's arrest can be made for:

837. A private person may arrest another:

1. For a public offense committed or attempted in his presence.

2. When the person arrested has committed a felony, although not

in his presence.

3. When a felony has been in fact committed, and he has reasonable

cause for believing the person arrested to have committed it.

Oh and for the folks that say no crime has been committed read the DMCA

@Anonymous Coward

It's funny how the same browser does not have the same problems on OSX and the more complete Konqueror does not do the same on GNU/Linux systems. Same code, different OS, where could the problem be?! Thanks for the FUD, M$, but security is not your strong point. The more of these problems they point out, the faster users will run for the exits.

really then how come IE and fire fox asks ??

@By Mark

2) Temperatures jet fuel burned at should not have been enough to melt the superstructure

i've watched the steel in an over pass melt when a gas tanker crashed and burned.

when those plans hit you had thousands of pound of fuel in a concentrated area burning for at least 30 minutes.

charges

They people at MediaDefender should be criminal charge . Company fined and hten disbanded

Hmm another thought

What it if the poor sod has a prior drug conviction or criminal record .

SP3 DRM

SP3 adds drm that restricts DVD play back. I know this because when I tried to play ghost rider on my computer it bitched about copyright protection. I have a copy of sp2 on that same computer and it works fine.

Great

Fine them. $5000 a day

Sniff Sniff

Smells flames.

Mines the nomex with SFFD on it and the mask hanging off it.

@This is why Windows has a bad rep....

Um no, this what happens when you let a moron have admin access. In this case it sounds like the moron was the sysadmin. I don't care what OS you have, admin priv + idiot = disaster

"As a (highly) frequent traveler who has small children, I try very hard (usually successfully) to not get overly annoyed by screaming kids on long-haul flights, but I have no patience with alleged adults behaving like two-year olds."

Who her or BA. I understand she acted like an idiot, but what jack ass decided because they lost one piece of her luggage she couldn't fly How would you feel being seated on a plane and then kicked off because they lost one piece of your luggage. not because you did some thing wrong or acted like a fool, but because they screwed up and cost you money you have to get off the plane.

This is not an accident

it cant be. The laws of averages say so. Some monkey is deliberately losing these CD's. I just cant believe that this is all random incompetency. If it was the government agencies that are involved should of collapsed years ago. So who's in charge of this asylum ???

"At least the beach babe had some meat on her. The new girlie looks like she cooks for others but then "forgets to eat""

Intersting

So you log all of this data. You need it for a trial. The isp sends it over. They send every thing over.You now have a 2 gig data file of text. How do you find what you are looking for.

It like this you are suing company A over issue C. You give them a subpoena for any relevant documents on issue C. What you get is every document that ever mentions issue C. You have the smoking gun but they sent you is over 50,000 pages. Will you find it in time for the trial ??

Not a security issue

Translation that's what you get for having a PC , now get mac.

Or how about this hey its not hurting macs so no problem.

Hmm lets create some thing to break all PC's :)

Hmm

That works out to $229 an hour. The are lucky some lawyers charge $500 an hour in the US. I say charge them $1500 an hour :)

Report: Prisoner fell into a bin of tasers.

SO how then do you explain the other bruises and the night stick that's hanging out of his ass ???

@Solomon Grundy

I belive what happened was the manufacture in china for cisco, started selling the kits directly, and or they fell off the truck on the way to cisco..

Kind of like if you steel all the parts to make a Ferrari from the Ferrari plant . At that point is if counterfeit, or is a stolen Ferrari .

@Steven Swenson

"Islamic fundamentalist terrorists hate us and want us dead. Why would they try to convince us to join them?"

Why, its simple an person that's is fair skin and blue eyes fly's under a lot of peoples radar. Some one thats born in the US with no previous history of violence is the perfect patsy. Sure they hate us and what better way then to us one of us to kill us.

To b an author for el reg. Come on. The standards cant be that high.

All I can say is wow

I guess I'm use to the fact that in America there is not one public transit system that allows you to drink or have an open container. Very few cites in America will allow to walk down the street and drink.

@By Steve Mann

I agree that there is no supposition that the billing address should be shared with the 911 dispatch system.

Any more than I think the phone company should have the innate right to sell said billing address along with suindry other details to "marketing partners".

IT SHOULD JUST BLOODY WORK. Whatever it takes. Whatever it costs, that is what is required from a National Emergency Response system. If you can't do it, get out of the effing market and make way for someone who can.

Well I got one for you. When I worked at SBC the true address accord to the county records office was 300 first street., but they had the building listed by a cname (industry term) This was a street name you only saw once you turned onto first street and then turned into the parking lot.. End result if you called 911 they went looking for an address that was not listed in the county records. Gee if the largest phone company in California can get the address wrong, I wounder. oh by the way having your address pop up when you call 911 is called e911. E911 is not available every were either

History

The Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) is an independent governmental agency created by state legislation. The CTA began operating on October 1, 1947, after it acquired the properties of the Chicago Rapid Transit Company and the Chicago Surface Lines. On October 1, 1952, CTA became the sole operator of Chicago transit when it purchased the Chicago Motor Coach system.

Taken straight from CTA web site. it is a gov agency
