Did that warranty cover peak district tarmac rash to the doors, roof, other door, door again, roof, other door etc etc?
Bird at work has a Sony TV which packed in after 13 months. Exactly a month after the warranty expired. I suggested trading standards, Sale of Goods Act or something should still cover it as 13 months is hardly an acceptable life for a £600 TV.I've been doing some reading about this after my revelation about warranties earlier. It seems that under UK law you have up to 6 years (in England) to claim if they develop a fault. I could be interpreting this wrong though..

Spot on this article. Brown bangs the drum about "internet for all" and yet the Digital Economy Bill will restrict internet usage in libraries and other places where those who don't yet have access will be most likely to get it. All in a desperate and short sighted attempt to protect the interests of Mandy's mates in the recording industry. It's a fucking joke.

Erm if I have to type in a password to use by interweb connection, does that mean it's encrypted or just password protected?
Is this something I should be setting up on my router or on my laptop?
There are two layers of encryption, one for connecting to your router which will be one of WPA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Access) (old and dated), WEP (better, but also superseded by...) WEP2 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wired_Equivalent_Privacy).
You set which of these you want to use on your router and set the password. Then every device that connects to the router (laptop, PS3, Xbox, smart phone etc.) has to provide the password. You'll likely have come across this in public WiFi where you need to get a password from the store owners.
If you are not using this then you are vulnerable to the Firesheep exploit.
You then have a second layer of encryption after having established a connection to a WiFi router which kicks in when you are connecting to a web-site, and this is provided by Secure Sockets Layers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Sockets_Layer) (SSL), and when you attempt to connect to a site you will be asked for a username/password, once logged in you will have https at the start of your URL and the padlock on the bottom of your browser will be "locked".
There are however many web-sites (e.g. UKBouldering, Farcebook, Twitter) which require log-in but do not use SSL to encrypt things.
If you're using sites that require login but do not use SSL and you are connected via a WiFi that isn't using WPA/WEP/2 then you can have your usernames and passwords sniffed (irrespective of whether your using Firefox or not, since the Firesheep plugin is simple a way of getting this information from others).
So to answer your questions directly...Erm if I have to type in a password to use by interweb connection, does that mean it's encrypted or just password protected?
If you are typing your password in to use your internet connection each and every time you connect to your home router then you are likely using WPA/WEP/2, but should really set your laptop to remember it so you don't have to type it in every time you connect.Is this something I should be setting up on my router or on my laptop?
Both, but as I say it sounds as though you already have it in place.
Also if you use Firefox then install the plugin I suggested.
just seen this, where do I stand with the static MAC typed in only access system I have for my home network? I dont have WEP etc.. enabled. This all started with me getting a ps3 to work with voice whilst online gaming... for which I got some awesome advice of slackers & bubba at the time.
BTW all computers are apple, with safari as default browser if that makes a difference.
cheers.
cheers mate... awesome advice as usual.
so, to take it back to basics... even if I got WEP ( for example) enabled I can still be snooped on,
To put it simply, do I keep the static network but enable WEP etc.. to be safe or am I screwed whatever unless i move to firefox & get this plugin.
Just always ensure I have ssl / the padlock when typing in credit card details / on line bank?

Read a bit more of that article and this stands out to me...QuoteLast August Liam Maxwell at the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead reckoned that councils could save at least £51m, and potentially up to £200m, by shifting to open source from Microsoft Office – but it would require a mandate from central government. That hasn't come.
Now thats quite a lot of money across all councils!
Take it one step further and you could do as they have in Germany and embrace open source (http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/german-government-drinks-greatness-linux). 66% savings is not to be sniffed it in these supposedly frugal times.

iSad for the premature loss of an amazing individual.
...his ruthless streak became apparent aged 23 when his then girlfriend gave birth to his daughter. For two years, though already wealthy, he denied paternity while the baby's mother went on welfare. At one point he even swore an affidavit to the effect that he was "sterile and infertile", so could not be the father.
...was vicious about business rivals, and in contrast to, say, Bill Gates, refused to have any truck with notions of corporate responsibility. He habitually parked his Mercedes in the disabled parking slot at Apple headquarters and one of his first acts on returning to the company in 1997 was to terminate all of its corporate philanthropy programmes.
He ruled Apple with a combination of foul-mouthed tantrums and charm, withering scorn and carefully judged flattery. People were either geniuses or "bozos", and those in his regular orbit found that they could flip with no warning from one category to the other, in what became known as the "hero-shithead roller coaster". Employees worried about getting trapped with Jobs in a lift, afraid that they might not have a job when the doors opened.
One senior executive admitted that before heading into a meeting with Jobs, she embraced the mindset of a bullfighter entering the ring: "I pretend I'm already dead."

In the first instance, this will help departments to do something as simple as share documents with each other more easily. But it will also make it easier for the public to use and share government information. ... Technical standards for document formats may not sound like the first shot in a revolution. But be in no doubt: the adoption of compulsory standards in government threatens to break open Whitehall's lock-in to proprietary formats. In turn we will open the door for a host of other software providers.

I do wish that these journos would stop using 'open source software' and 'free software' as interchangeable terms.[/url]
I went back and re-read it and whilst later in the paragraph they do use the term "open source" its only after they have stated that they are using FOSS...QuoteLast year, the IT department successfully concluded the switch to a cluster of computers, running free and open source software. This cluster includes 30,000 servers and workstations and is used for government’s databases, payroll systems, the government websites and its email services.. As per La Provincia, this switch to open source saved around a million euro in proprietary software. Good news is that the islands government pays 300,000 euro per year for the support for free software used by IT department.
So in this article they have made it quite clear at the outset (but not in the articles title) that the software is both free and open-source (and that they are paying for support rather than a license and support).
Do you have links to any examples where its reported that savings have been made from "open source" when in reality they are using proprietary software that is simply given away for free?
I'm genuinely interested and not attempting to pick holes as I think switching to open document formats (current proposal by UK government) and the switch to FOSS (and not just free or just open source software*) is a good thing in general, and in order to encourage this it needs to be reported accurately so that others don't get the wrong idea.

NSA classes Linux Journal as an "extremist forum" and its readers get flagged for extra surveillance (http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/nsa-linux-journal-extremist-forum-and-its-readers-get-flagged-extra-surveillance)Re the site blocking thing.

How would I challenge an order if I receive one?:o
