I hate to sound such a tin-foil-hatter or a 'you must fear your government doomer' but I honestly feel the reason the government aren't employing skilled legal staff in technology is because they know it would cause them to lose huge amounts of information and control over 'joe bloggs' on the street. I don't for one minute think the government as a whole don't know how much of a crock Mandelson's plans are. I just think its being ignored as it suites many people very well. -- Using Opera M2: http://www.opera.com/mail/ -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Wednesday 2009-12-02 20:00 Dorset LUG: http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ Chat: http://www.mibbit.com/?server=irc.blitzed.org&channel=%23dorset List info: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/dorset
