Any proposal in which users hand over their private keys to a third party (such as a webmail provider) should be assumed to be done with the blessing of, or at the request of, law enforcement or intelligence agencies
Where did it say in there that users would hand over private keys to a third party?
For years I've been looking for a viable replacement for my aging fax machine. Fax... that's short for facsimile for you youngsters.
I know the rest of you have all been looking for an better way than plain e-mail to exchange physical copies of documents. There's just nothing like holding the document in your hand. Am I right?
So I'll let *you* decide what I need to have printed. Send me your stuff: tonerlow@anothersillymarketingideanobodyneeds.com
You didn't feel the breeze? Your hair sure got messed up when that whooshed by you.
I've found something even more effective than blocking port 80 and 443 on browser equipped machines. Unplugging and placing the computer in its original packaging and using it as a chair or an end table is nearly fool proof. Issue pencils and paper to all workers. Computer security problem solved.
I'm all for the micro-kegger but I want to keep my chips warm. When's the last time you went to a Mexican restaurant and were happy the chips were cool to the touch when they arrived. Keep the refrigerated technology for the beer... I like my chips warm!
The cost is still too high and the output is still too low but at some point the technology is going to catch up. I just hope groups with deep pockets continue to invest cash in alternative power projects like this.
...revealed... by a top scientist associated with the Indian moon mission, P Sreekumar, who quit his job in the US to be a part of the Indian moon team...
For conspiracy theorists this is obvious... Sreekumar didn't quit his job in the US... he was sent to work on the Indian moon team to make sure they properly "found" and "mapped" the sites.
I'm no conspiracy theorist but I sure would like to see pictures. The discussion about why nobody has sent a mission to the moon that was able to do just this came up at work last week and when I saw this article I thought we'd be able to close the topic at work and move on to better things.
Oops... I forgot my sarcasm tags on that first sentence. The point I think I wanted to make what that I think this plan is silly and wasteful while being prone to errors and tampering. At the other end of the post I was trying to illicit responses from other slashdotters with ideas on how the governments could collect taxes to pay for travel infrastructure once we move away from commercially pumped fuel sources. Assuming one day fuel for vehicles can come from some off-grid technology that the government has not direct control of or any direct way to meter another source of revenue will have to be developed. IMHO GPS is not the answer but not only because of privacy issues. I also don't think adding infrastructure taxes at the point of vehicle purchase or registration is a good idea... laying aside the fact the automotive lobby wouldn't allow thousands of dollars in taxes to be added at the time of purchase.
So, what better idea can we all come up with? Toll roads are a royal pain unless you use the wireless passes, another privacy concern for some. Physical vehicle tracking is right out since none of us like the government watching us so much....
Because, unlike GPS, an odometer can be tampered with, enabling a driver to avoid paying taxes.
Privacy issues aside, this seems like a bad idea. The cost of implementing and administering this sort of system seems sort of silly. Just increase the taxes at the pump or implement toll roads.
I've wondered in the past about what governments would do to tax public road usage on vehicles using some home grown energy source. If I could use lawn clippings and kitchen waste to fuel my car one day, how exactly will the government extract funds from me to pay for the infrastructure I travel on.
When I RTFA I don't see that this is a Microsoft device. MERL developed it. Microsoft Research simply acknowledged that touchscreen devices are often too small...
...they are often larger than the push button gadgets they replace, according to...Microsoft Research in Redmond, Washington.
Last year, Baudisch and Daniel Wigdor of Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs (MERL) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, led a team that developed a fix to that. Their "transparent" LucidTouch device let users interact with a screen from the reverse side
I'm not even sure why the name Microsoft is mentioned in TFA...unless the same guy works for MS in Washington and HPI in Potsdam?

That's close to Detroit, right?
Now all we have to do is cover the sea floor with this carpet and lift it up whenever there's a need. Perfect!

Well obviously you wouldn't fill the mouse and keyboard usb ports with epoxy.

Find the nearest church. The leaders there will be able to help you find a cause.

Jeez.
At first I thought these two stories were related.

I was about to download the MS tool so I could create my own spectacular tasting, eye-opening, knock-off classic art.
Of course it doesn't... it's missing the necessary double F.
Boring story so far.
To the computer forensics division. Or something.
Ew
Why on earth would you only have ONE copy of something that important...
Maybe it just wasn't very good...
I missed a commercial!

Right, but now we know where to get a refill...

Is the iPod an accessory for the rifle or is it the other way around?
Wish I could read TFA... short of being able to see what the point is this is just stupid.
Your sig makes me laugh, considering the thread.
I was wondering if someone could send me a recorded copy of the stream since I won't be able to watch it live.
