I'm probably going to get modded into oblivion for saying this.... But why don't people just not read dupes? I mean, it's not really hurting you that it's there...and some of us didn't see the first one, but see the second one. It just doesn't seem worth complaining over.

Before you mod me funny, think, perhaps I was insightfully funny?

This story is similar to the car key RFID system being cracked but if you look carefully the content is actually different and provides a more technical perspective to the situation. The other one was fluff compared to this. People here need to stop being so nit-picky because I find that most of these "duplicated" articles are informative and contain interesting content that I would have not seen otherwise.
