    In the summary they say what it is: DotA Allstars mod for Warcraft III.
    As long as you know it's a mod for war3 does it matter what the acronym stands for? It's known as DotA to all of the players.

    Wouldn't the FBI need to get a warrant to plant the device? They did it as part of their investigation. Now I sure hope they had a solid reason to start in the investigation other than his family history.

    Have two folders with random data. One is your encrypted data (bank account passwords, log ins etc), the other folder has a program that writes random data. Might throw in a study you're doing between the different generated files and their variance.

    They should add to this and have a key unlocks the outer layer while deleting the inner.
    Wonder if law enforcement makes a copy of the hard drives before trying to unlock it.

    If they can power it with the heat available in the volcano. How does the thermo work out for running a cooler powered by ambient temperature and dumping the created heat back.

    Thin the idea is to leave them there to warn when the volcano has a change in its characteristics. Of course I didn't RTFA.

    With regard to WWII, for example, it is not clear to me that a few decades of containment of the kind used against the USSR wouldn't have solved the problem with far less loss of life and property than war produced.

    How about those that live in the contained area? Sometimes you have to pay the price and do what's right.

    Wars these days aren't profitable since we're doing it wrong. It the old days, after you won you got the loot the defeated nations. How do you think Iraq would have made out if the rest of the world didn't intervene in Kuwait? These days the wars are over ideas more than resources or wealth. Not saying war is the right answer but playing a bit of devil's advocate.

    From the article:

    In February U.S. prosecutors indicted Aleynikov for allegedly stealing hundreds of thousands of lines of source code from Goldman's high-speed trading platform as part of a move from a $400,000 job to a $1 million one.
    Aleynikov has pleaded not guilty. His trial is scheduled for November.

  23. Re:Whew on BP Claims Gulf Well Has Been Stopped · · Score: 1

    They're not evil, or good, they're just a legal construct, that does things to make money. You can judge each action they do, on a moral scale, but you can't make blanket statements like COMPANIES ARE EVIL.

    Once the company takes enough actions that would be on the lower half of the moral scale and I think you can classify them as evil. I don't think BP is classified as evil for the actual accident but for their shotty safety record. I saw a report on TV that they had safety violations int eh triple digits while other companies had only a small fraction of that. Their willingness to rather seduce inspectors rather than spend the money and follow safety regulations is what earns them the black mark.
