Kryptonite U-Lock Security Flaw
An anonymous reader writes "Once upon a time, a magic marker was able to defeat the Key2Audio copy protection scheme of older Sony CDs. Now, it has been shown that a Bic pen can easily open several models of Kryptonite U-locks. Please patch your systems, or install a tracking device on your bikes!"
Actually, you are an idiot, and don't know what you are talking about. For
those of you curious, he's referring to the New York Chain, which has square
links and a time mini-ulock, of the type you see on motorcyles. The New York
Lock, is a mini version of the ulock, but noticably thicker and heaver.
By the way, the NYC(hain) is only rarely used by bike messengers, as it's too
heavy to be lugging around all day. It's only really useful for putting dents
in your bike and hitting cab drivers with it.

When I was in Sweden, I saw many bikes that weren't locked.
Too bad we couldn't just live in a society where we wouldn't have to worry about dying!
Too bad we couldn't just live in a society where we wouldn't have to worry about debt!
Too bad we couldn't just live in a society where we wouldn't have to worry about sharks!
Too bad we couldn't just live in a society where we wouldn't have to worry about lightning!
Isn't Jesus the answer to all these?

Online backup with Mozy, sounds like Ozzie, but more!
Well, that only demonstrates that stealing bicycles in Sweden is a funding source for Al Qaeda, hence America will be invading after the November election. Whee! Isn't Neo-Conservative logic fun?!?!
