Is there any other action people in the UK can take? I don't have much faith in the number10.gov.uk petition page. The number 1 petition there was for Gordon Brown to resign [1],[2] Despite getting more than 72,000 signatures, the response

I use virtual machines and am happy with them. However to be fair to the grandparent poster there have been issues with USB devices and VMWare. http://www.hanselman.com/blog/Vista64bitBlueScreensWithINTER...

Sorry. :) You replied why I was editing my reply to make it clearer. Shouldn't Safe Search be the default? Normally users have to opt out of Safe Search to see NSFW content.

Looks interesting. [Edit] Is there anyway to make safe search the default like most search engines do? I'm not keen on seeing NSFW links like Encyclopedia Dramatica appearing when I'm searching from a work computer. Most searches make you t

I did enjoy reading that interview. It's always interesting to get insight into other people's way of working. What struck me most about that interview was how it was written. How simple the wording is. It's clear to read, the language he u

I think this is down to the educational market. For many exams you can only used an approved make/model calculator. If you can hack the OS you can use it to store answers, notes or similar aids in cheating for an exam. If the platform isn't

The Wikipedia article is also a good port of call - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative_%28finance%29 Derivatives are very useful instruments for some. The example of a wheat farmer and a miller is useful for gaining understanding a

When you get to that level of protection, the main attack I'd be worried about is the $5 wrench. http://xkcd.com/538/ Of course as the strip also points out "Actual actual reality: nobody cares about his secrets"

It's a good book, but rather short. It's worth reading for an introduction into Wabi-Sabi concepts.

I heard about it 7 or 8 years ago from people who had been to Xerox Parc and Cambridge (UK) based Xerox Research Centres. I can find this research paper online, although it appears to be dated 1995. It's not exactly what I was told about, b

I remember hearing about a Xerox research lab that had a whole room where the walls were all whiteboard. They had a celling mounted camera that would scan the walls. They also had a markup language that the camera OCR software would pick up

I'm currently playing with an Arduino, I'm only at the traffic lights stage, which feels very "Hello World", but I enjoy it. It's very refreshing to think that I can start building my own hardware to interface with a computer. I've spent ye

I really related to this comment. What I do find though is experience at university does vary greatly. I had a fantastic module on Software Quality. The lecturer in question has been working in the real world before he became a lecturer so

That's one of things I like about my job. Every line of code has to be reviewed by another developer. It can't be checked into source control until it's been reviewed. There are lots of benefits: We all have to write readable code. We can't

I think Firefox also has the advantage of being Netscape Navigator's spiritual heir. Lot of people who used NN (when it was good), got used to it and were keen to keep on using it over alternatives. Firefox's mantra of being lightweight als

I don't think there's anything wrong with Opera's business model. Don't Firefox also get money through content partners (eg: Google Search?). I'm aware that you have had to pay for Opera before - Wii points on the Wii, and also for the DS/D

I like the simplicity and minimalism I don't have to spend time learning another interface as theirs is stripped down and minimalist. It's also easy for me to use with less technical people. As it's not overwhelming unlike some similar tool
