  1. Re:And how would these "laws" be programmed? on New Laws of Robotics Proposed for US Kill-Bots · · Score: 1

    When those robots get to that level they will probably want to join the philosophical discussion too.

  2. Truecrypt on Protected Memory Stick Easily Cracked · · Score: 1

    Doesn't truecrypt have a traveller mode. This seems a bit useless as well as the insecurity.

  3. Future archeology on Can CDs Be Recycled? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Maybe the CDs are unreadable now, but who knows in the future. Future archaeologists may one day discover the thick fossilized layer of AOL trial CDs that we have deposited and somehow be able extract the data, or even use them to fuel their flying cars.

  4. Re:Registration restrictions on .eu Domain Names Top 2.5M in Year One · · Score: 1

    Czech Republic, Denmark , Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, Russian Fed, ... among others charge a "Modification fee". I'd never come accross that before.

    cctlds are very popular in their respective countries of course. Just check your rights before registering that Lithuanian or vietnamese domain hack.

    And of course in the UK individuals have the right to hide their information on dns lookups. Handy to have the right to do that since its one attack vector for email harvesters.

  5. Registration restrictions on .eu Domain Names Top 2.5M in Year One · · Score: 4, Informative

    "The registrants must be located within the EU"

    Are regulations ever enforced? A little off topic maybe, but yesterday I almost registered a .us domain name.
    As I was about to check out I got a different screen to normal. It said that I had to be a business with links to the US,
    it also mentioned "all your personal information are belong to (.)us".

    Researching it futher I found a right shocker. Swedish (and some others I don't remember) domains often have to pay to change DNS servers. Your rights for a particular domain differ quite a bit with each tld.

  6. Re:Double A on Georgia Tech Unveils Prototype Nanogenerator · · Score: 1

    Actually I tried to compare the power density to an alkaline battery but they quoted power per unit volume instead of power per unit mass.

    Anyone know the density of a prototype nanogenerator?

    When will this be avalible in AA size?
