Every reasonably tech savy college student already has a dummy facebook account. Along with 'N' dummy Gmail accounts if they use Android.

It depends. The old method of cracking passwords was a dictionary attack. You take every 6 or 8 letter word, and all the O->0 i->1 etc variants, calculate the hashed password and store them. In this case having a 64character pass p

Unless the person stealing the credit card uses it to access a child porn site and you are in the UK. Then you are on a child abuse register - your life is over. There is no trial because the data just goes straight to a police database and

It doesn't have to be seriously debated - it just has to be officially mentioned, it's still just democracy window dressing.

Private. Either a group of investors do it and look for telco customers to rent bandwidth to. Or cable laying companies like Cable and Wireless will lay a cable if they have spare capacity and try and sell it. Or sometimes a consortium of

I think a more important use of the cable is that it can't `accidentally` be broken by a chinese anchor in the luzon straits.

I would love the airlines to err on safety. By making the seats out of a fire resistant non-toxic foam, before they were made to after a series of accidents. By fitting smoke hoods nearly 50 years after is they were first recommended. And b

Although paradoxically, if circumstances had been such that he could - there wouldn't have been as much demand to invent computers !

So should the US have jurisdiction over .com/.net/.info etc rather than just over ".us" ? Isn't .com an international designation nowadays? Isn't that like giving the country that invented the telegraph jurisdiction over all undersea cables

The " legal theories underlying establishment of jurisdiction" consists of who has the biggest fleet. This has been true for about 5000years since the Egyptians got their act together, has continued through the Greek, Roman, Venetian, Brit

This doesn't apply only to servers hosted in the US. The US is claiming that because .com domains must ultimately be registered by a US registrar (since they have ultimate control of the DNS) then even if you have no servers in the US, no c

Hand over our God given internet to some foreigners? In other news - Britain has announced that all letters sent with a postage stamp come under UK jurisdiction.

Unless one day in the future you have to change planes in the US and suddenly find yourself arrested for running a used DVD site. Or you can't fly inside Europe because the airlines share a no-fly list with the DHS and you are a US felon.

Would it be overly cynical of me to suspect that the original ban had something to do with the $5 charge for the seat back phone and the new policy has something to do with the $5 seat back wifi?

So logically either: There is a danger from these devices but 1, nobody has ever switched on an iPad/phone/ebook reader/tamogochi/iPod on a flight in the US - ever. Or 2, planes crash all the time but the government keeps it secret. Alterna

I flew into Salt-Lake city when they decided that all 'foreigners' were going to be subjected to special security. Which meant putting us into a glass booth behind the x-ray machine for an hour while we waited to be `secured`. The only fore

I think there is a natural air of doom over everyone who works at an airport. But US immigration at YVR is the worst. I think it's because they are forced to be in Vancouver while still working for ICE. It's like being forced to work at a

Yes because the risk is more real. In theory - my knowledge of the problems we had making the obsolete GR2 Tornado's radar work would have been useful to the Russian IF there had been a WWIII, and if they didn't already know. And that the E

OK, we always called them Baader-Meinhof - it sounded much more scarily Teutonic!

It's a ridiculous comparison. I worked in a defense industry in 80s/90s and sometimes we had to visit Eastern Europe. We were carefully briefed about not carrying any company documents or the early laptops because they might be seized or co

While the RAF were redoubtably active in Germany in the 80s they hadn't dropped any bombs on it for some time. I suspect your mean the IRA?
