I suspect most of us would struggle to give the official names of most foreign cities law enforcement agencies...

I think what he was saying the was the Police force of London in other words who they are rather than atempting to call them by their official name
That's how I read it anyway

Re: AVSIM hacked and destroyed???
I can confirm that - the servers are located here in Herndon, Virginia and Avsim's headquarters are in Charlottesville ..... and no, I had nothing to do with the the whole affair.Ben Hartmann wrote:Under international law, the alleged hacker must be charged in the country were the physical server is located. Avsim servers to my knowledge are US and therefore subject to US law.

I am curious as to why Avsim still has no upload capability. They have had long enough to know wheter the download portion of the system works, and that was the reason for not resuming the upload part of the system.

Hi Nigel, the upload part of any system is its week spot from a security point of you, so having got everything else sorted you'd want to be bloody sure of your security messures before giving the world access to your server.

That makes a lot of sense. Guess I wasn't tinking (as usual).
