Basically anyone who’d ever used the Government Gateway for payment or any of the myriad other systems had their logins on this memory stick, as well as the source code to the system itself. This shows what a fantastic idea centralised databases are, especially single sign on systems, when held in the capable hands of a government who has an incredible record of giving away military service personnell data, civilian data, laptops with confidential data and imagery of women undressing caught on the fantastic camera spying system to all and sundry.

How to sync an iPhone with two (or more) Computers

Posted on October 31, 2008 by Robin

Reply

To get the ipod able to sync to multiple computers basically you find the an itunes ID which the PC you’re allready syncing to has, and then rewrite the ID on the second computer. The only thing is that if you then sync the same type of data from both PCs you’ll have that data on both machines. This could mean pretty huge music as both libraries are combined.

As the president of EstDomains has been convicted of fraud, money laundering and document forgery, as well as apparently being notorious for registering domain names used for phishing, spam and other internet scams, ICANN has said enough is enough and has kicked them out. They are now looking for someone to take over the 281,000 dubious domain names.

Attractive people and their children

Posted on October 29, 2008 by Robin

Reply

An earlier study in 2006 showed that attractive parents are 36% more likely to have daughters, and that the daughters become more attractive

That study has been validated again recently, but now with the added caveat that whilst it seems that the attractiveness is hereditiary for women and not for men: ie. attractive couples have more children of which the daughters will likely be attractive and the sons likely will not.

And now: the F/A-18 Hornets

Posted on October 28, 2008 by Robin

Yup, the USA military is definitely past it’s prime – first the grounding of the entire F-15 fleet, then the ongoing A-10 grounding, the ancient tankers which have no replacement coming and now the F/A-18s are being grounded and inspected for structural faults found in many earlier models around the aerolon hinges.
These kind of structural faults indicate one thing: ancient machinery.

By declaring anything 100 miles from a border a ‘constitution-free zone’, where the Dept of Homeland Security (aka SS or Gestapo) can stop, seize and search you, demanding papers (Auschweiss) with no reason or cause.

Of course, the happy jackbooted goons are taking advantage of this, using their powers to detain at random will.

ALP 3.0 is out. This is the successor the Palm OS / Garnet and would have been really really really exciting. If it had happened around 3 years ago.
Very curious if Palm is going to license this for their new phones and get rid of Windows Mobile (which is total crap).
Somehow I don’t think it’ll compare well to the iphone OS though, allthough it’ll probably offer better Outlook synchronisation and security.
