I originally modded you as informative, since you explained the problem very well. Now I'm posting to undo it since you managed to fit a 'government is evil' rant in there.
If you don't like the adverse effects of MFRL, you could try RFML.
I don't need to be told that it's "billions of times than ever before", or to compare it to the library of congress, I can understand measurements. so how big is the object? 1 nanometer? 1 kilometer? what? the article doesn't seem to say either.
It's the Library of Congress.
It's now simultaneously at its usual place and two hundred miles under the sea.
Librarians are wetting themselves at least as much as physicists.
I heard George Lucas is writing it. Young Gollum will be a comedy character to lighten the mood. His appearance has been changed a bit to appeal to the 5-10 age range that have the most pester power over merchandise sales, e.g. big floppy bunny ears.
I believe that during that time is actually when [Young Gollum ] is being tortured in mordor
Change the name to "Jarjar does not simply walk into MORDOR!" and I'll pay to watch the movie in 3D.
I hope you mean some extra-terrestrial exoarcheology student, because it's too sad to imagine that all information on the rovers will be lost in a couple hundred years.
You basically say: I am this person, and here is the signed certificate that proves it. And if i'm not this person you can be sure that the person you're dealing with has my ID card (and it's probably stolen).
Actually what you're saying is: "I am this person, or a thief with this person's card, or a hacker with access to this person's data or a hacker with access to your data to compare with this person's or the guy who manipulated the master database last month or the guy who hacked this person's ISP, or this person's cable guy/maid or this person's son or a russian mathematician who found a flaw in your identification system."
Which is a degree of security perfectly achievable by the current internet.
Instantly Belarus will become a culinary heart in the world, it will start producing magnificent sports cars and will have centuries worth of art stored in its churches.
President Alexander Lukashenko is going a long way towards making identity theft even easier.
The main reason I read Slashdot is for the instant reality check on news. It relieves me from the need to think; I read the news and right next to it I see the consequences those news will have on the real world.
Slashdot transforms the need to find the dire consequences of all the events I don't like into the need to check which one of the "end of the world as we know it" scenarios is actually likely./sarcasm?
The increased proportion of slashvertising is a direct result of the holidays? Or the holidays are slow news days and that only leaves the omnipresent advertising.
i.e.: In a hypothetical fast news holiday...day, would we have a quick and constant flow of mostly ad news? Or just the normal proportion.
Slashdot Mirror
People never choose randomly... Which icon is prettier or which name sounds the friendliest?
Or the coolest.
I don't think I'd even know Firefox had it been called Dulltuna or Slowduck.

It does force you to Read First, though.
It would probably work.
And it wouldn't necessarily be bad.
We could call it the Darwin natural selector.

Year 2173:
"Hidrogen-Unobtanium polycomposites seems like a viable replacement until quantum computing gets to desktop."
The solution is obvious; we just need ways of permanently change our DNA.
If irradiated spiders aren't enough, we can bring back the nuclear testing.
This has the added positive effect of fighting crime.
Man, this is how I view my porn, and I use that method just to be safe! What now :(
A live disc?
That's exactly what a terrorist would say.
But we got you now, you terroristic slashdotter who only wants to slash our freedoms and... damage us over time?
I hereby report "slashdot.org".
like this: made for smaller/local problems, the identity system is expanded to general use, then mandated
And then cracked.
Consider the following details:
- A card with a chip that will be destroyed when cracked open
An unfallible method that no human technology will ever crack, I suppose.
- Your personal information stored on the card in some open format
Information that is forever deleted from other databases.
- Your personal public/private key(s) (one could do it, but multiple for the different levels of trust could help)
A private key that never did or will exist outside of the card and cannot be read by any present or future means known to men.
- Certificates signed by the government that verifies your information and public key (note: only the public key!)
An government run by only honest men and/or unhackable machines.
- This card is renewed every (few) year(s), so is the master government key that signs these things
And for the renewal, the identity of the holder is checked by a full ADN analysis.
[...]
Are you sure you want to discuss the possible failings of a system in such a fantastic and unachievable situation?
Yes, that's more sad than thinking those extra-terrestrials have either killed us or drove us away from our solar system.
Wow, foreign students must be pretty violent in your country. As you're still alive I guess they drove you away?
Or maybe you're the foreign student and you killed the entire population of the country you were visiting?
I hope you mean some extra-terrestrial exoarcheology student, because it's too sad to imagine that all information on the rovers will be lost in a couple hundred years.

It's like you broke up with your girlfriend and then go crying her back when she has found a new guy, while you're having no luck.
Or, to put it in Slashdot terms:
It's like you broke up with your car and then go crying it back when it has found a new owner, while you're having no luck finding another car.
My bet is on the next visit they'll nuke the planet from orbit then send robots in to do the mining
And the mutant thundercat zombies will fight the robot ninjas.
I'll start aksing for the half billion dollars to do it in 3D.
And when the database is stolen...
And when the card is stolen...
And when the user misuses the card...
And when the user uses his card on a compromised machine...
And when the two later happen a hundred thousand times per day...
Such a system needs to have an answer to all those situations and some more.
Personal identification is bad for porn.
Finding a new source of money of such dimensions will be challenging.
It's one thing to not talk openly about it, it's another to forget it.
It's the same story all over again and yet it succeds.
Well. It'd be worse if the story that succeded and most people enjoyed was about evil prevailing, wouldn't it?
Instantly Belarus will become a culinary heart in the world, it will start producing magnificent sports cars and will have centuries worth of art stored in its churches.
Will they elect a mafioso?

It's not like the Earth could dodge a projectile Matrix-style.
That's why God gave us anti-ballistic missiles.
Fricking lasers kept chilled inside tanks of solid hydrogen. That's what you need to be a cool fricking shark.
