A month ago, a New Zealand user on the Apple forum noted: "I guess we're just lucky this didn't occur when the clock went the other way."
This bug was well known publicly over a month ago, is easily reproducible, and is probably trivial to fix. I'm not too familiar with the FOSS world, but I suspect any of the major Linux distros could have fixed it within a month.
I didn't claim open source software is bug free, or they're more reliable than their proprietary counterparts. I claimed that their bugs are fixed within a reasonable time-frame.
Your solution is basically the same as NIST's proposal, except they use silicon instead of carbon. Silicon crystal are also cheaper than carbon crystals.
No one is claiming the new method is perfect or free from artifacts. NIST is claiming it's sufficiently better than "a piece of metal in France" to warrant the change in definition.
Maybe it should be pointed out in the title that this group of script kiddies have nothing to do with Iran.
Wait a minute, maybe that's exactly what Tehran wants us to believe. By having Iran in the name, it would actually draw suspicion away from Iran because presumably they would want to keep their secret hacker army secret and would never name it something so obvious.
But then again, maybe the script kiddies are using reverse psychology. By using one of the most deceptive names possible for the actual Iran Cyber forces (supposing that it exists), they easily associated themselves with Iran, the perfect scapegoat in today's political climates.
However maybe there's a deeper level to it. Perhaps Ahmadinejad realized that any group named "Iranian Cyber Army" will be thought of as using Iran as a scapegoat, so he intentionally gave his cyber army that name so that he can 1. complain about being a victim to another "Zionist conspiracy" and 2. operate his cyber forces without drawing suspicion.
So on and so forth...
Regardless of their actual identity, seems like this "Iranian Cyber Army" also specializes in psychological warfare.With three simple words, they've manage to waste 20 minutes of my life.
The one normal-appearing contender, the Northgate Ergonomic Evolution, seems to be noisier than even the Model M — in fact, it echoes!
Isn't that a good thing?
IMHO the louder the better. Keyboard noise level is the only metric my boss uses to measure my productivity since he's code illiterate. Thanks to my trusty model M, I have one of the best job in the world - cybering for a living.
What's more scary is that the disinformation campaign includes agents who infiltrate popular website to spread this "theory" in order to discredit it as yet another conspiracy theory.

Could have happened on any operating system.
I concur, but my original point was that such a trivial bug couldn't have survived for a month in an open-source project.

This would have never happened if iOS was open sourced.
Under a thousand eyes, you won't oversleep.
GP really loves pies, apparently.
Energy is defined in terms of mass so it would become circular.

Doh!
I meant *handwave* I am not the Sith you're looking for.
You're with the program (pun intended) or not.
Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

fucking censorship
A word caution: even non-fucking porn can be banned in Australia.
Trust me, I found out the hard way during my trip down under.
Is there some kind of catalog or web site I can browse to see examples of what's legal and not?
www.australia.gov.au
...and not?
Pretty much everything else on the internet.
I'm pretty sure they've outlawed "ridiculing Australian censorship laws" a few years ago, so this post is a prime example of what's not legal.
I'm pretty sure he prefers "Lord Jobs".
"Darth Jobs" is also acceptable, but only if you are also a partitioner of the dark art.

McCain posted his, and all the little clones proved that he has 100% pure American genes.
