Then why does the parliament not have some one looking after it's cyber security and answerable directly to it.

Well they would have to go back to paper and maybe even voting physically rather than pushing a button remotely.

All it takes for a "friend" to donate some new shiny to a MP who then plugs it and its game over.

You need to have a Baord level champion who can steamroller any silos and get stuff done.

American sports fans are not violent in the same way that Football Ultras are.

Yes keep the oily engineers outside other wise they might start wanting the same status as us :-(

What would have been better is 20-25 years ago take ipv6 out back and shoot it and tel the IETF to go back to the drawing board and come up with one tat had a better migration plan

Yes a terrible security risk what happens when some one tailgates a bunch of contractors with a made up pass. Easy way to smuggle bad stuff onto a ship.

Sounds like the start of a NCIS episode.

Given the op's claimed experience if they don't understand that your pc on your desk top is not the same as your dev/test/live systems - it's about time some one pointed this out to them before they get in real trouble at work.

With all due respect You really don't understand the difference between a development server and your personal PC - How many years experience did you say you had?

Sorry I meant that some toys / gadgets have a perceived gender. Home computers became seen as boys toys.

where does it run? on windows or linux?

Sorry if your developing software professionally you DO NOT take risks like that.

Why? I have a lot of experience in the UK and that is how I would see it

If your looking for a site to discuss full on technical programming (aka real Programming) your on the wrong site here.

And back in the day CS was considered the soft option real Engineers had done physics or EE Degrees.

It always was a relatively well paid job.

Remember that Liukas is not a native English speaker and she might not have understood how that will be understood.

Secondly when you talk to any journalist you have to be ultra careful they don't twist what you say into some thing that fits their agenda or their own biases.

Its a synonym for Developers in the UK.

You can migrate Virtual box vm's to hyperv which works very well.

Your developing on individual developers machines - you need to change jobs Stat!

Amen brother/sister. You should ALWAYS be working on a dev server set up identically to the test and live servers.

At one place we insisted on having machines from the same production run and ideally all the DASD (disks) would be from the same batch.

Whats the issue here if you are developing php properly you PC is just a way of running x windows so you can login to the sever. They are not developing on individual developers pcs are they.

Is your objection to using win 8.1 for doing documentation in word and using outlook?

Just use win8.1 and use hyperv to run your VM is one option

They are developing in PHP and don't develop on Linux?

probably because home computers became much more gendered and i suspect the change to IT being an engineering graduate entry might have something to do with it

I think your forgetting national interests and NIH - The Joke that the 8th layer OSI is Politics has some basis in reality.

Non tariff barriers also come into play eg why you can't buy a land rover in the USA

Me to I recall fixing a bug with a major uk company BACS transfer tape where the accounts receivable system was instant that you could have more than 365 days in a year.

Which meant that we where unable to collect any Direct debits for 3/4 of year!

yes your point is? Date math is not the same as arithmetic

And tactics knowing when to husband your teams strength and when to push to get your GC contenders time advantage.

"Privacy, above all other things" is not the same meaning as "Companies should help us ‘prevent encryption above all else’"

Some one has an axe to grind and is deliberately misusing the FBI's quote.

Interesting I was walking near mansion house (in the City) yesterday and could feel something rumbling underneath my feet through the pavement which I assume was Crossrail.
