It looks like they're using the "Opal" standard as a way of selling essentially the same hard drive slightly crippled since if you don't have the key for the thing you "can't even sell it on eBay", whereas admins can "cryptographically erase" their data with ease. Does this mean that the well priced one has a one-key no-reselling system, and the artificially inflated "server" class one can be rotated? I'm going to ere on the side of "companies get together in order to hurt us all" and fear the worst.
This is just one of those steps towards homebrew genetic algorithms. It won't be long until someone goes "The Internet, pfft - supercomputing clusters are for porn".
Why waste money having X number of officers tied up handling drunk people when one guy can spend a few seconds and hand them a bubble blower. I think this is s step in the right direction not for law enforcement but for keeping peace. The job of the police isn't to nab bad guys, it's to keep society a nice place to live. Also: I'd love a bubble blower when I'm drunk (although admittedly I don't think I'm rowdy enough to earn one).
It's an interesting idea if you attempt to equate the internet's email to classic dude-with-a-sack mail. The national postal service has roots in government funding - the infrastructure is maintained by the government (i.e. everyone) and incidental costs (like mailing a letter) is payed for with stamps. The interesting thing about the internet is that if it were made free in this way: the infrastructure would be maintained by the government and the incidental cost of mailing an email would be payed for by you buying something after reading some ad that is supplied by Google, Yahoo, etc. Really it's similar to the post office with the difference that the government only has to worry about the actual infrastructure.
I'm sorry to be the one to say it but there's nothing new here. RIPE implemented DNSSEC a little while ago (albeit not thoroughly) and there's an article here about the US getting DNSSEC.
Any source on this other than a news article? I Googled it and couldn't come up with anything. It would be nice to have some technical information: as much as a news source is great, wouldn't it be nice to RTFA and RTFPaper?
I guess otherwise we'll just have to wait a week for the conference.
Slashdot Mirror
True, but you might be overlooking that they shot her laptop; that's pretty key.
Also, all her prefs were there. She'll never be able to rearrange the icons. It won't be the same. Nobody backs up the prefs :(
I thought my Slashdot profile was set to show it. :) If not, I'm going to go change it.
I actually *just* (20 minutes ago) put my picture up there. Can you guess my email ;)
My pet might notice a collar on it's neck, are there any that might attach with a magnet? So I can stick it underneath my pet without it knowing.
It's also important that I can track it in real time, because it tends to run away. It also runs fast, like a golf cart.
Seriously, it's been around for some time now, and it wouldn't require much to change in the application side.
if you want to keep your relationship out of fights for a computer, get a new one
I agree, time to break up.
I nominate that the ISIS be named after the man who popularized the phrase.

Then why does the US pay so much for it's service?
Her voice was unique - ironically I don't think a digital voice would do the computer justice, and posers ain't cool. :(
Good point! I blame cosmic rays for my desire to release greenhouse gasses!

At least everyone will waste a lot of money.
Conroy Let's see them put up a filter for that!

The fact that we reboot computers as a regular task is a change that was introduced by the PCs of the day. Now 2 generations are used to it.
