Sadly, in these modern times there are elements at work in our country that threaten our freedom and our way of life. Even more worryingly, one of these people is our current home secretary. Yes, whacky Jacqui, who wants to ban cartoon porn and make it so that you have to show an ID card to buy a pay-as-you-go mobile phone has been caught fiddling her expenses to buy pornography, courtesy of the tax payer.
Now, this is old news, but frankly its so funny that I couldn't help blogging about it, oh and hopefully Google might index these pages for the keywords "Jacqui Smith is an evil bitch" :)
Meanwhile, enjoy the story on the register!

- They would then prepare evidence, complete with details of the names of the copyrighted files being uploaded, exact timestamps and the protocol used, and send it to the relevant ISP. They would never see the personal details of the person behind that IP address.
- In other words, the music industry nominates itself police, judge, jury and executioner. I hope for the sake of everyone that this law is never passed. - post by buckoa51

The heise Security Offline update maker is a viable alternative to the now defunct Autopatcher. It works by downloading the updates directly from Microsoft themselves and then compiling them into a DVD that can be burned and run on the target system.
