The data on the tapes was encrypted, Walker said. The data on the disks was in a proprietary file format that was not encrypted, but "is stored in a way that would make it difficult, if not impossible, for someone to access it, then make any sense out of it," he said.
So not as bad as the summary seemed to indicate, but still not the greatest thing to have happen.
Especially if that proprietary file format "difficulty" is just the fact that the files are in some old version of Word.;)
ZDNet Australia is running a story that claims OS X 'contains unpatched security flaws of a type that were fixed on alternative operating systems more than a decade ago.'

I played a game like that once. I think it was called "real life". Great graphics and play control. It takes a huge time investment to get anywhere, though. And it's tough to even find monsters to kill (so difficult that many don't believe they even exist).
So because a group of people on the Internet decide God doesn't exist that means he doesn't? Try this, repeat over and over again that GunMod does not exist. I'll still be here to pester you. Wait a minute... You can't see me, touch me, hear me, or smell me. Yes, I exist, through written word you see I exist. God is still here as well. Without faith you are blind to him.
Of course, if you had posted over two thousand years ago, and then had dozens of religious fanatics interpret and reinterpret your post over the course of hundreds of years, then translated and retranslated for hundreds upon hundreds more... well, you can imagine the doubt poor hitchhacker might have!
Heck, I babelfished your post to Greek and back:
"Thus because a team of persons in the internet does decide doesn't the God exist that means that no? Try this, you repeat repeatedly that GunMod does not exist. I will be still here in pester you. Wait for one thin... You cannot me see, me touch upon, me hear, or me smell. Yes, I exist, via the written word that you see i you exist. The God is still here also. Without faith you are blinds in."
Apart from the fact you have apparently transmorphed into Tarzan ("Me GunMod. Me not heathen. You heathen!"), its original intent is already starting to blur one generation away!;D
Just remember the "24" in your 1x10^24 is basically the number of digits (in this case, zeroes) after the 1. Seems pretty impressive, maybe moreso than the billion million trillion, and has the added benefit of being more exact.
The time in this story, however, is going to be more like 1x10^-24 -- which would be a decimal point and 24 zeroes before the 1. AKA really, really small.
And before they can publish a single page of documentation, they will have to make sure it is translated to each one of the dozens of official languages of the Union.
Boy, can't wait to see the comments on *that* code.;D
These toys were originally designed after their NYU student creators and modeled after the horrible behavior they saw themselves exhibiting while trying to come up with a school project.
Damnit, when will these Intelligent Design freaks stop their propaganda campaign?!;)
Seconds later, Sarah Connor grabbed the pole and impaled the robot, destroying its primary power supply. Even as its eyes went dark, emergency systems kicked in to begin rerouting secondary and tertiary power systems.
Wise to the design of robots, Sarah and her son, future savior of humankind John Connor, shoved the robot through a nearby doorway conveniently located right above a steel foundry where it dramatically screamed in electronic pain for a few seconds. And then it was over.
"Is it over, mom?" John asked, panting.
Sarah Connor wiped the sweat out of her eyes. "It's over," she said as the familiar industrial movie soundtrack theme began to play. "It's over."
"The story starts with this deity, who is patron of kings, standing in water. He's running a large spear through his own penis, letting blood. Blood is squirting all over the place," Saturno said.

The second "critic" expert they decided to ask said this:

Who was this expert?
None other than Chris Gorog, CEO of Napster Inc.
Yeah, Chris, people are *real* bored. And by people, you mean you and your cronies, and by bored, you mean not making enough money for your tastes.
I would expect more out of BusinessWeek.

No, they'll still have many mice, but Mickey's red shorts will only have one button.
