There's several issues that are worth raising here, but I struggle to understand why the Parliamentary Private Secretary for the Secretary of State for Defence needs to attend a meeting with ISPs about unrelated civilian matters.

If you want to try and do something about this, donate to the UK equivalent to the EFF, the Open Rights Group[1]. See their rather sane and well thought out views on this here[2] [1] - http://www.openrightsgroup.org/ [2] -

Post-Leveson our media are too acquiescent and too afraid to take on the government. Exposing z-list celebrity affairs is still fair game, but with dwindling revenue, most newspapers don't want to rock the boat. The BBC's been mos

What do infosec hackers have to do with this? We're not all f-bomb droppers who go around insulting everyone.

Oooh this looks nice. I'd love a tool that could integrate with Jailbroken phones and Cycript to provide run-time introspection on actual devices though.

The sad thing about all of this is that Microsoft were pretty much forced into this position (so we're told) by the authorities. In the process these leaks have just destroyed pretty much any credibility Microsoft's online service

The modern way of doing this is to have something called a 'sheep dip' station. This is an unconnected system that's used to check the contents of any import/export. The idea is that you cryptographically sign the materi

It's sound common sense to keep this stuff from the Internet but looking through the Internet census I found hundreds of thousands of candidate matches for SuperMicro BMC instances. It seems to be popular in hosting circles, which migh

Actually it's not the CPU you need to be worried about. Earlier this year at 44Café in London I did a talk in which I dropped about 16 bugs in SuperMicro's IPMI BMC implementation (through the medium of a drinking game), some of w

Not my product. But I have downloaded it and played around with it and it looks like it's doing everything right so far. I really like the idea of public key material in a QR code as a way to do physical verification.

Videolan should fix the bug. Secunia should report the bug to ffmpeg. If the bug's fixed by a later version of ffmpeg then great, use a later version. If it's not, fix the bug, wait for ffmpeg to have a fixed update and off you go

Of course not, it's much easier to feel self-righteous boycotting one of the greatest living science fiction authors than boycotting the oil that funds this sort of thing. Gay marriage is legal in the US, and rightly so. Neither Orson

We have a similar thing going on here in the UK with the feed in tariff. Companies have been trying to sell solar to people in a country that gets an average of 1340 hours of sunshine a year (which is obviously far less up north than it is
