Target identified. Send out Plod to <strike>terminate</strike> investigate

Well it seems that Mexico is now turning into more of a surveillance state than the US. At least now I understand why so many of them are risking death to escape to the US. I used to believe it was because there was a better standard of living in the US. Now it [...]

Goverment mandated injections for the plebs coming soon

Scientists seem to be on the brink of developing a vaccine to immunize us against stress. A vaccine that will help us relax.

Sounds great. For all those out there that suffer from stress this appears to be a godsend. A cure for everyday living that would help them have a productive and stress [...]

The power of the oppressor state

With the power to monitor what anyone looks at on the web comes to ability to understand how you think. What your interests are and how active you are in the pursuit of those interests.

It doesn’t really matter if your system is encrypted or if you delete your cache and web history every [...]

Planning the impossible

No matter how much planning you do and no matter how much training you do when it comes down to human interaction someone will manage to screw it up. In Singapore, an IBM techie succesfully caused an outage, which lasted from 3am to 10am on Monday July 5 at the DBS Group Holdings Bank.

Shooting yourself in the foot

In a previous post I pointed out that we had taken a step towards protecting Earth from errant asteroids with the use of the Pan-STARRS telescope.

Now it appears that, for security reasons, we are limitings it’s scans by 24%.

Does anyone else see the stupidity of that? It will take much longer for [...]

A spammy OS

I think I’ll be giving any Windows 7 based phone a miss. Read about MicroSofts ‘ad serving machine’ here.

Remind me what data protection means again to our government

It seems to me that more than enough of our rights have been screwed over on the laughably named War On Terror.

The US seems to be sucking up as much data as it can including our bank account data while the teams of people we pay to pretend they are in data protection [...]

Data Protection

Like all Government departments the DPR seems to be pretty useless. The NHS holds all the data we actually do consider to need protection, it is all really personal and priviledged, we would expect special care to to be taken. But No. yet again, we read of a break of our trust and find [...]

Another Environmental Catastrophe?

Well although this one is not calling for us to clamp down even more on our freedoms or stealing our cash which makes a nice change it seems that solar panels have a detrimental effect on wildlife.

They mimic the surface of water to many insects and lure them to the panels where [...]
