"1. What are the uses of cryptography as a 'Human Rights Tool'?"
If Nostradamus had PGP way back when he would have never had to write his predictions in his own made-up language (and even then in cryptic generalities) and we wouldn't have to deal with all this spam mail about him predicting S11's events.

XBox Delayed

Wow, didn't Sony do this last year? Right before Christmas they delayed the release and then came up with drastically fewer boxes than they expected, thereby putting the market into a buying frenzy. Anything with the PS2 logo quickly sold out, and Sony raked in the money.
Get out and start standing in lines now, cuz those units that you grab at the local Best Buy will be gold on eBay. And if you keep one for yourself I'd like the box from ya so I can sell it to some rube on eBay for $1500.
If some of you hardcore *nix users would take showers more often than major holidays this wouldn't be an issue.
Those of us who have to sit in stuffy cubicles within a 10' radius of you thank you for your consideration of this matter.

***NEWSFLASH***
Bill Clinton hasn't been the President of the US for about 8 months now.
Unless you are inferring that they installed "Net Nanny" when George got into the Whitehouse to keep the bad stuff from him. In which case we should go after "Net Nanny" and their ilk for harboring terrorists.
Hell, this/. submission by CmdrTaco was suspiciously missing any added comments that are usually riddled with misspellings and cheap shots at Microsoft. Has anyone checked the back doors at Andover?
A tragedy was narrowly averted when the surgeon was in the middle of an intricate micro-stitching and a casino pop-up ad obstructed his view. Thank goodness a forward-thinking assisting had their hand on the mouse ready to "X" it outta there.
They only take a few seconds to burn out if you have no cooling whatsoever. Therefore if your fan dies and your heatsink is still on it will get hot but your probe will notice this and therefore you will be able to shut down in time.
However, if your heatsink falls off, then you are screwed. But this is the way to learn.
There are freeware programs available for Windows (probably Linux as well) that monitor the temperatures reported by your motherboard. Some like Motherboard Monitor will actually shut down your computer if one of your sensors report a temperature greater than a threshhold that you can set.
I'd link to them, but I believe that linking from Slashdot to websites hosting small free projects like this is cruel and inhumane. Go do a search and download it from one of the mirrors.
This is more of a problem than this post's humor highlights. I live in Portland Oregon and there are several nests of endangered peregrine falcons downtown. Environmentalists would claim that these turbines could potentially kill these few remaining nesting birds.
Proposed wind-powered generator farms in the Columbia Gorge (a lot of wind, world class sailboarding) have been axed after fears of endangered birds getting whacked by the big blades.
Nope, I'm still stuck in the Dark Ages of analog. It's nice to be able to capture at pretty much any resolution that I want to without worrying about dropping frames. There's just something about having that buffer that tells me that it's not my storage medium that is slowing me down.
Personally I just bought a couple of the 5400 ATA100 drives and a cheap Maxtor/Promise ATA100 PCI card, soldered a half-dozen spots and flashed a BIOS and now I've got a couple striped drives on a FastTrack 100 RAID card.
I use it for video capture and the write speeds are fantastic. And that I needed it for. My write speeds on those two drives striped easily twice what a single drive with their capacity would get.
Being a dot.commie who was recently downsized I had spent a lot of time looking through employment classifieds. Wanna know how much those fine folks who run the security checkpoints make per hour? Here's what they make in Seattle.
If you have The Learning Channel on your television sets you will be able to view coverage of the tragedy from the BBC as of 21:34 Pacific Time. Interesting to see what information comes out over there, along with their opinions.
Sorry, don't buy it. How many extreme greenies know how to fly jumbo jets? I doubt that the American pilots would be able to be convinced to crash their planes into those buildings. We'll likely find out that the pilots were killed before they crashed and that the hijackers were at the controls.
Yeah, and the village idiot will ascend to the throne (a widely-distributed fake Nostradamus prophecy).
Nostradamus wrote his "prophecies" in a language that only he knew in fear of death. Scholars have been trying to translate his ramblings for hundreds of years and every once in awhile they try and take their "translations" and compare them to modern events. Heck, most studies of his work said that he had no further predictions after 2000/05/05 which was widely viewed to be his prediction of the end of the world. Guess what? We're still here.

Overheard in the surgeon's office in New York:
Doctor: Damn, I was supposed to remove a tumor?
I have an answer but I don't feel like responding to you or providing links that would help you out so :P.

I think that "Light My Fire" would be more appropriate and much more recognizable of a heat-related problem.

Looks like Taco has the KatzFilter on, too.
Why hasn't anyone thanked the KatzFilter for greatly reducing the server load by not sending his crap down the pipeline?

Nice idea, but it won't happen.
WTF? Unless I'm missing something, this thing doesn't exist. Don't mod up an AC unless you can verify his facts.

Makes you wonder why it didn't happen sooner.
Looks like the book part has already taken off. It's the #2 best seller at Amazon right now.
My bad, it should have been Taleban.com.

I'm betting that "Y" was the mole on this one.
