Re: [ubuntu-uk] Wireless N routers
For powerline adapters to work, they need to run on the same electrical ring main. As each house will have it's own fuse box & ring main, "leakage" to outside of the home is not going to be an issue. Most vendors offer some sort of vendor security for privacy anyways. If you're really concerned, use IPSec Transport mode.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] OT: Debian apache2 problem
Are you using static NAT, i.e 1-1, 80.87.131.49 - 10.10.10.1 or whatever your internal IP is and can it handle the amount of translations its performing? Also if you're behind a shared firewall, can it handle the amount of traffic passing through it? Check your firewall/iptables logs where connections are initialized, but not followed through - TCP SYN messages from different hosts but no SYN/ACK - SYN. Could indicate a DDoS attack.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] The BBC Launches Wiiplayer??? WHAT!?
Maybe someone should make the BBC aware of their Purpose and Values statement. As per http://www.bbc.co.uk/info/purpose/ Public purposes The BBC is a unique institution, owned by the British people and independent of political and commercial interests. By only allowing users of a certian operating system, which has to be paid for, does that not constitute as a "commercial interest"?
