To lose one person’s details is unfortunate, but to lose 25 million database records looks like a carelessness. Or as Geeklawyer prefers to say, a fuck-up that only the civil service can execute flawlessly.
The entertaining thing listening to Alastair Darling is his bland reassurance that things will change in future. In effect he was saying […]
Geeklawyer saw this on the underground. Designed as a recruiting poser for Special Cuntstables. It targets the usual Walter Mitty types who try to get into the territorial SAS or do weekend Rambo survival courses in Wales; chaps who want to either boast down the pub about being heroes, or mitigate their personal inadequacies by […]

Geeklawyer thinks he has said much of this before. If you pack a bunch of PhD geeks in a room and leave them to ferment you will get a heady brew. Indeed possibly a dangerous one.
Google is at its core about other peoples conversations. These can be emails, instant message and web pages. It mines […]

Geeklawyer blogged exactly a year ago about the governments attempts to get headlines on violent sex porn. Now apparently it is going to be enacted.
