  1. Re:Well on Holocaust Dropped From Some UK Schools · · Score: 1

    Don't forget Iraq. Or is it just "collateral damage?" This states the estimate of 655,000 casualties, around the same as Rwanda and much more than Darfur. The sad thing is, some of you will probably think "Is this a troll or not?" while accepting the other ones without question.

  2. Ultra high definition media on Holographic Storage Slated to Hit Market This Fall · · Score: 3, Interesting

    One potential use I can think of is selling/renting really high definition movies, TV series or collections of movies. For example, 10 seasons of "Friends" in ultra high definition would surely take up a lot of space. For that use a single disc with a huge capacity is perfect.

    The disc in question is much more elegant and cool than a stack of bulky, noisy hard disks. Elegant and cool may sound petty, but they sell for certain kinds of people with too much money. They even sell RCA cables for more than $18,000.

  3. Man in the middle? on TiVo Awarded Patent For Password You Can't Hack · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I am no expert, but couldn't you create a device that reads the input + output of the hard disk, then grab the challenge + response and by doing so improve your chances of cracking the key?

    Or maybe the password is just "Iceberg" -- "Even if they hit that key, it won't cause a crack."

  4. Why is it so bad? on Deadline For Saying "No" To National ID · · Score: 0, Troll

    What makes the national ID bad is that it's been designed by an intelligent being, instead of using an evolutionary design model.
