Re: Culling the herd...

Re: Huh?

yes you are missing something the author made an assumption the wring way, that there would be less than double the platters, but as about 1/3 of the drive is circuit board and motors and still only requires the same amount of case.

so 2/3 for case and platters, but now delete 2 layers of case, and you are probably looking at close to 2.5 times the number of platters, not the authors less then 2

Re: I guess this explains why we are leaving.

nicely played, I like the circular reference

does this not mean that these police officers will have broken the laws of a foreign country and as such be subject to their criminal justice system.

So an attack comes from the USA and we hijack their system, that is a crime in the US so Mr Plod can be extradited for computer hacking?? yes/no?

Re: I am Sam Smith and I don't need a solicitor

how did you even find out about it, are you googleing yourself, or is this a normal destination on the web for you?

Re: Linkedin?

no it is no more murky, if you create the data on a third-party system as part of you employment then the company and you are responsible under DPA.

now if you are just linking to information that is supplied be a 3rd party (the personal details your contact loads onto LinkedIn) then you are fine as far as DPA goes specific contracts may limit what you can do with that but it is not a regulator thing.

hope that is accurate

or French

Re: Bull

I think you will find that "personal information" in relation to a data processor is any information that can be used with other information held by the data processer to identify an individual.

Re: Linus Torvalds one finger salute

Re: Only 10%?

ok I had a 2005 skoda Octavia diesel rated at 50 mpg, over 2 years of driving it got an average of 46

a 2014 Volvo V50 rated at 77mpg only gets 42 so the comparison is not the same, the difference is that the car has been tuned to a specific test and now no longer tuned to "normal" driving

Re: "Absolutely no one can make sense of the United States' infatuation with firearms."

Re: “to proactively improve customers’ financial lives,”

what this means is that they will dig into every aspect of you phone you let them in order to advertise and "cross sell" additional products which is where they will make their money, essentially google's business model but the banking bit is on offer and the rest hidden

Re: Knights in rusty armour

just by pointing out that these tools are available you have contravened the by "providing information the may be used by terrorist", by pointing this out I have fallen into the same gotya.

Re: Depends where it goes

sorry no, if the data is collected by a US company it can be completed by the patriot act, and as such is illegal. if the company is EU but moves it to a US company irrelevant of where the data is then that EU company has broken the law.

patriot act

sorry but that does not work, as the patriot act is in effect on every US corp, they have to breach EU data laws if asked to. therefore any US corp cannot guarantee the required levels of security and privacy. they could have a separate EU company that they own all the shares of that has servers in the EU and that would work, but they would never be allowed to export that data back to the mothership.

Re: Stop blaming just the hippies
