Fujitsu have their place in HMG as they bought what remained of ICL

thats what bankrupt Marconi (Nimrod AWACS)

nah he was an ambulatory fuzzer, before such things existed

Re: Aw come on

but the onus is on the plantiff to prove the claims false in the us

wheras in the UK it is on the defendant to prove them true

it took me hours to work out the lyrics to "Gangsta's Paradise" by the late Coolio, and I'll never forget them now...

Re: Best thing about fabric is…

Meraki is a lot better than you are making out, and Cisco's wireless is only still good, as they are absorbing the Meraki features.

The Meraki UI is great, its all plug and play and cloud configurable, none of the expensive site visit stuff, just get your average non-intelligent hand to plug the stuff in it picks up its config and it just works. deploying multiple sites, building a template and configuring everything just once. for retail/B2C-focused branch-heavy orgs like you seem to be working with it's simple to manage and just works.

I got out of DC networking when NSX came out, as it basically negates the need for anything more complex in the switching.

Re: SQL injection flaw

which is the entirely expected problem with agile methodology ("my bit works")

LFP is Lithium Iron(Fe) Phosphate, which has lithium, but no cobalt, in the cells, but a lower energy density.

Still doesn't discount the fact that shipping the components from around the world and extracting lithium and the various packaging materials and electrolyte chemicals, along with the clean-up of the ICE production process, means that over 10 yr service life of the battery, the difference between a Diesel and BEV is negligible.

Sodium-ion batteries have a lower energy density than LiFePO, meaning you need more of them too.

current tech is not there, the grid can't handle everyone switching to electric: there just isn't enough supply to charge on demand or the distribution infrastructure to fast charge at home. Hydrogen is coming along and requires less new infrastructure, when you look at its efficiency as a storage medium people tend to discount the fat an ICE is only about 20% efficient whereas a fuel cell is between 2-3 times as efficient, and most of the distribution infrastructure used for ICE fuels can be reused, along with cost, refuel times and ranges similar to ICE.

taking into account new tech like that produced by Viritech (currently working with Ford on the Hydrogen Transit) there is a lot that could be mainstream within 5 years

Re: no payment information was among the mix

Mastercard and VISA are no better than the retailers, after all they are just processing networks.

FFS there are not even rate limits on transactions from the same vendor, or IP or even for the same card.

based on the "Card-holder not present" workflow, you can brute force a valid set of card details, as by mixing processors you can get incrementally more details, and the card network tell you not just that the details are invalid, but which ones are wrong.

but its all moot anyway, the details that were leaked are far more valuable to any miscreant than the card data would have been.

full address details, security answers and transaction details will get you full access to their credit profile and leverage for extortion...

Re: "has promised to pay £900 per claimant as part of reasonable legal fees to prepare their claim"

Re: You are Steve Bong

not that long ago, I had to manage a reputable estate agent (are there any) through selling a 10-bedroom house, as their in-house designed system didn't cater for anything over 6. the a week later a 45 bedroom £85m mansion came on the market in Guildford.

you'd be lucky to get 6 for £85m nowadays

Re: Repeat after me:

Dodgy Dave's lockup down the road with security cameras that worked at some point, the fire exit propped open for ventilation and some bloke saying your data will be safe if you pay them $ExhorbitantAmount, making it apparent if you don't it definitely won't be.

I prefer the acronym OPT (other peoples tin)

Re: Vans and Lorries

the whole point of H2, as a storage medium is you can reuse most of the Petroleum infrastructure with a little modification, it's also a far more environmentally friendly storage medium than lithium-ion-based batteries.

the ideal situation is large offshore wind farms that are expensive to connect to the grid, use the energy generated to electrolyse hydrogen, which is stored locally, and collected by modified LNG tankers that take it to shore, where it is expanded and transported by pipe to distribution hubs, then in pressurised tankers to modified filling stations, for rapid transfer to vehicles, or in re-fillable hot swappable fuel cell units.

the technology is there, the problem is the petro industry need to get on board. there are viable solutions to the problems, the problem is you need another Telsa to prove them.

Re: Expendable

I always go back to what the Airfield Fire team told me, their job is to get the pilot out because including fuel and training it costs more than the £100m+ the aircraft cost.

The other thing is the meat bag in the cockpit has the need to breathe and survive so anything over 6G is an issue

Re: Good idea anyways

the problem is for the price you can't get equivalent features, anything not from china, you are looking at 10 times the price, and when you have a paranoid employer with 50 cameras in each store....
