Being as you are "Anonymous Coward", the first user here, you should already know that Slashdot is all about a subfield of Social Steganography where the challenge is to write something meaningful and truthful that is perceived by the reader as the rant of an idiot.
How is "no prescription required" an obvious violation? This would have to be specific to each drug, and the person who is looking at it would have to know what drugs require a prescription. The average person depends on the pharmacist, drug retailer, or doctor, to know what requires a prescription. if it's on the shelf (even virtual), people assume it must be legal. If the government wants people to quit buying drugs from Canada, then it needs to mandate "fair and balanced" drug pricing.
When they have to promote something by putting the identification of certain aspects in the name, then we know the actual thing has no such aspects. There is no patriotism in the so-called patriot act.
It's up to the people of some country to make sure they have leaders in place that recognize that their country's laws (and enforcement thereof) should come from the people of that country, not from cronies of another.
They SHOULD allow titles. But it would make sense to appropriately tag the title apart from the name. There should be a place to enter a prefix title and a suffix title. Then in places where it is appropriate to display a name without title, it can be omitted, and where it is appropriate to display a name with title, it can be included. Searches can be matched both with and without (I know Google knows how to do that).
Changed by what? When they take a computer, they image the hard drive, so it's frozen in time. They can just run this on a computer with a tweaked clock and it will think it's the day after her last usage.
The solution is to encrypt the actual binary key with a random value obtained via encrypted channel from an internet source that re-generates it every month (different for each user), with a few days overlap so you can re-encrypt your key before the previous data is purged and overwritten forever (in combination with your passphrase). Just be sure that random value is never written to swap and is overwritten in RAM as soon as it's no longer needed for that step. Even this is not perfect, but they would have had to already break some aspect of this at that time to get that random value that no longer exists.
Prosecutors in this case have stressed that they don't actually require the passphrase itself, and today's order appears to permit Fricosu to type it in and unlock the files without anyone looking over her shoulder. They say they want only the decrypted data and are not demanding "the password to the drive, either orally or in written form."
That is so clearly self-incrimination. Clearly and focused self-incrimination. Hand over the evidence that incriminates you.
HDMI can't do 2560x1600 at all. If they want to phase out DVI, they need to replace it with something, and that isn't HDMI. FYI, HDCP works on both DVI (it worked here first) and HDMI. HDMI is just one channel of digital video, with audio added on (that is a plus) whereas DVI is two channels of digital video, plus a channel of analog video (we don't need this part anymore). If they could re-purpose the analog video wires to be digital audio, then we'd have the replacement, called DVI++ or DVI-v2 or DVI-ng or whatever you want to call it). They make DVI to HDMI cables, so there's never been an issue making a digital TV work as a monitor.
BTW, my oldest is really bright in math. Out of high school he already knows the full drill with calculus and differential equations. He even learned linear algebra on his own. But he didn't go to college. He now makes almost twice what I do running machines to drill for Marcellus shale gas.
Second oldest is prepping for law school, even though at the moment I know more law than he does.
Business respects those who are money motivated. Geeks seem to take whatever computer job they can get regardless of the pay (if there is even any pay at all). So no respect in business for geeks. I don't want them to go that way.
I would not send my kids to this school. I would not even encourage them to go into software, at least not until employers start respecting software and IT more and quit lowballing on pay, and great a better working environment.

From the article NOT behind the NYT paywall:
Miller's reward for showing Apple that it, too, is vulnerable? They kicked him out of the app developers program. Nice going, guys.
Isn't that exactly how Apple deals with malware? Think what would happen if Google did that.
It was 55F early this morning when it should have been 28F. Seems we got the warm you were supposed to have.
You were lucky. I always got at least chewed out for a boo-boo, if not worse.

with software that can "sense" clear frequencies as they move around.
As if that's going to be reliable as everyone jumps into these bands.

Are they still pulling that "We saved you from Hitler, so we own you" argument?

This is why your password is the decryption key to a large binary key stored on a memory stick. Just make sure the memory stick gets destroyed.
It's still way overpriced. It should be $1 for 1GB. We just need competition and the market will correct itself.

We are way ahead of you! We did a backup once, and threw it away!
... and for just a small fraction of what they paid. Just give me a waiver of all patent and copyright laws.
Aren't we trying to reduce the amount of space junk?
However, the way things are going, we'll need it to rebuild the internet.
Even more "space junk".
Yeah, but the RIAA and MPAA will hate it! That makes it all worth it.
I give up. Too much obscurity. Back to Lua and Pike.
So, Google has invented "a method to obscure documentation"? Have they patented it?

Demand, yes. Real jobs, no.

OMG! The language documentation does not show it has any way to do division (much less what kind of division it would do if it has such an operator).
