    Warranty Question

    I assume you don't have any option to embed the serial number into the firmware on the camera itself? The issue you may have if you can't identify the physical unit uniquely is that a customer with an old product that is broken can simply claim it is a new one they bought more recently which...

    Does the resignation of a bad director limit the legal options against them?

    Without a shareholder's agreement there won't be much you can do and unless he agrees you won't be able to actually appoint yourself a director of the company at all. The director is already in breach of his duty to act in the shareholder's best interests. Even if you were a director, you would...

    "Comparative advertising" using competitors services as a direct marketing strategy and the legal

    If you do name competitors in a comparison, you'll need to make sure that the information you publish on your website is always current and up to date to avoid any claim it is misleading. A disclaimer "information correct as of XXX" might cover you for a few weeks but a website is expected to be...

    7 month old course sold and buyer wants a refund

    If there's really no reasoning with them, you have no choice but to just ignore them or refund them as any further discussion is a waste of your time. The "route" is likely a small claims court claim - the cost of bringing such a claim depends on the amount they're claiming. You could offer...

    landlord hasnt charge electricity for nearly 12 months - now wants it...

    Of course you have to pay it. :) You really should have noticed that a) you had no electricity bills or b) your invoice from your landlord had decreased. It is easy to miss these things so you'd be forgiven for not noticing. Just make sure that the invoice has the right meter readings, pay it...

    *sigh* There's just no telling some people. I guess ignorance is bliss.

    Google & HTTPS

    I'm not really sure I have the energy to continue this discussion much longer but I'll try to convince you one last time... With your hashing technique, if someone intercepts your connection, they would have your password hash at which point they can login to your site whenever they want using...

    Google & HTTPS

    That's certainly one of the most vulnerable places, yes but it's not the only way that your connection can be intercepted. Even on your home internet connection your traffic will likely pass through a 3-4 other ISPs who may or may not be trusted to you.

    You're still missing the point. Once you have logged in, your browser will be sending a session cookie which will tells the server that you're authenticated. If anyone was to steal this information on the wire, they could login as you too without even needing your password. I'd be interested to...

    Setting up 03* Number for Support Calls - Redirect to Mobile

    Hi Sparrow, We've found that many of our customers like to keep their mobile number private and forward calls from an 01/02 or 03 number to it. This allows you to control when/if calls are routed to your mobile and which mobile they're sent to while maintaining a slightly more professional...

    Legal Age Discrimination

    The new Living Wage legislation seems to be encouraging age discrimination . With the age increase from 21 to 25, it's far more likely that people are going to applying from both old and young age groups. While you're not permitted to discriminate on age, you can happily choose staff based on...
