I don't care if you are black, white or other, male or female, big or small, Christian, Muslim or Zoroastrian. I don't care if you are British, American or Armenia. I don't care if you are young or old...

I just wish you all to have this year as the best year your have ever had. Filled with happiness, love and peace.

Happy New Year to you all.

This is interesting. A woman has been arrested and is waiting to see if she is to be charged in Japan, not for the murder of a virtual character but for illegally accessing a computer and closing the character account of her online husband who divorced her (online).

In the west women get to murder men without too much hassle all they have to say (no proof required) is that they have been victims of domestic violence. I may just move to Japan after all!!

The Best Comedy ever comes from the Czech Republic, well technically because it is quite old, it actually comes from the old Czechlosovakia. The series is called Pat and Mat "A Je To!"

A Je To, roughly translated means "Done it" or "Sorted". It is based on two characters who try their best to get through daily life but just do not seem to be able to do so without totally screwing up. 

You can get recent remakes here, but you really want the......

MoD Hard Disk AWOL Part II

Previously I mentioned the missing MoD Hard disk, well it gets better and better. It now seems that we are looking at 1.7 Million records being on the disk, although they are not too sure about that. The Disk was probably not encrypted, but not sure about that. The drive was probably lost, but not too sure about that.

"EDS assesses that it is unlikely that the device was encrypted because it was stored within a secure site that exceeded the standards necessary......

Music fans back legal downloads

A survey of 1500 UK consumers discovered that 50% of them got their music legally. Wow, 50% admitted being criminals, and the rest were too scared. According to research the fact that there are so many legitimate download sites makes buying songs far more popular than getting them for free. Who the did this survey?

"Acting on information supplied by music industry groups many ISPs have contacted customers to tell them they are suspected of illegally downloading......

Phishing up 180% in a year

IT was inevitable that all the problems that the banks are having would have a knock on effect. Imagine if you will receiving an email that says something along the lines of this.

"Dear valued customer.

Because of the global recession <Your bank> has ceased trading, for the next 12 hours you may withdraw your money from this temporary site only. Please take advantage of this opportunity to transfer your account to another online bank, or to your......

MoD Hard Disk AWOL

WEll the EDS a main contractor for the Ministry of Defence in the UK have revealed that they have lost a hard drive. I am guessing it must be an external one as internal hard drives do not get lost, just stolen.

The drive contained information on more than half a million active and potential Armed Forces personnel, including passport details, driveing licenses, bank details and addresses. Everything any bright kid would need to impersonate someone in the military.

I want to be Anonymous!

Anonymity on the internet is a common problem that most people face at sometime, and all people should face. The simple fact is, not everything we do online is suitable in all cases. I worked for a major ISP and they banned anyone looking at their competitors' sites. Even though such information was useful to us when dealing with our customers. One of my colleagues was caught and dismissed. If he had accessed the forbidden sites anonymously then he would not have been caught......

China 'spying on Skype messages'

God damn those Chinese! Infecting the world with their deep red communist ideas, spying on their people's messages, restricting access to the internet, even preventing users from accessing the full google database. What a god awful country that must be to live in... or is it?

Well the American's currently are attempting to infect the world with their red, white and blue capitalistic ideas - although if you get to powerful as a company they will do everything......

For those who do not know Damilola was one of the many children murdered through knife crime in the UK, of late. On discovering the links the chief executive, Mike Jervis, said he was "disappointed" that the links had been posted on the site. Mr Jervis said: "We are disappointed, it just shows the challenges that all organisations, not just ours, have to overcome."We are trying to prevent knife crime and people are trying to defame our name and make our progress look shabby."......
