Gah, sorry, accidentally used the math for CD's instead of DVD's. Also, as I stated, the $250 cost is only temporary until Thailand gets back on it's feat. After that, expect the ratio to be around 27 cents/DVD. Factor in that HDD's can be rewritten (no space wasted due to old versions of backups long since redundant) and DVD's start making even LESS sense from a backup standpoint.
More generally, how do they keep somebody from livestreaming it -- or, at the very least, recording it and streaming it later.
We have cameras that are the size of a pack of cards that record very blurry 1080p video, after all.
You can put as many megapixels as you want into a camera, but the 1/4" lens is still going to make it look like it was taken by a disposable camera and digitized at the local 7-11.
Very true, but deficiencies are one of those things that are very commonly miss-treated because there are so many things that can cause them and each thing that causes it usually only has 1 way to fix it. I do agree that they are extremely inefficient however.
Why would a computer forensics class teach you about exploits? From what I understand, 99% of computer forensics, is cloning the disk to a clean drive, then mounting (read-only) that drive in a machine of which the forensics analyst has full control. Basically: Why would you need to use an exploit when you have physical access?
The only exception I can think of is "still running" machines that will re-encrypt themselves if shut down.
Actually, lawyers have very little say in which cases they have to represent clients for. Lawyers have a list of things they are allowed to use in order to dump a client (conflict of interest being the big one), otherwise the lawyer can have their license revoked.
If your iron deficiency is due to an inability of your body to absorb iron, then iron supplements will neither cure nor treat your iron deficiency. I'm not saying that's the case, just that they won't necessarily work for everyone, so the FDA can't let them claim so.
You do know that a $70* hard drive will hold the equivalent of almost 3000 DVD's right? That's like 2 cents/DVD. It's true it would take a while to transfer them, but if you ever had to restore that backup, you'd be doing that anyways.
* Yes, I know HDD prices recently went up about to about $250 for that 2TB drive, but they will go back down once the supplier issues go away. But even at that, you're only looking at about 8 cents/DVD.
Steganography software does not need to be on your computer, it can be on a web service.
So we should take our data that is secret enough to require deniable stenographic encryption and transmit it to some web service for encryption/decryption??
7 cents for national texts and 12 cents for texts abroad isn't that bad -- and that's with the simplest plan out there (basically: use what you like, pay afterwards). Another plan would probably be cheaper.
That comment would have cost 24 cents to send via SMS at those rates. That's almost 5 pieces of gum!!!
To everyone who responded, please note that every keyboard EXCEPT the one for entering wireless passwords has a backtick, it is only the wifi password keyboard which for some reason is missing it.
That is a horrible idea. One of the main reasons TLD's are limited is because full names are used for intranet purposes. For instance, some of my machines are named "thor" and "fenrir". Now if someone started up a website called "http://thor" there would be a name conflict.
Making hardware do something it's not meant to do is pretty much the definition of hacking. Since the boards tell the OS that they don't support power-saving, that falls under the definition of hacking to me. It's like the processors/gfx cards that have all the functionality of the more expensive model but with a jumper missing.
That's funny, last year I had an "everything but iPhone/Pad/Pod" network. All you have to do is add a backtick ` and none of them can connect. The password keyboard has NO backtick on iProducts, even though every other virtual keyboard on it does. I guess you might have been able to use a bluetooth keyboard, but few people have those.
A USB turntable may be able to convert an LP slightly faster than a typical analog system, but not a whole lot faster (nowhere near as fast as digital media). This is because an LP is analog, thus you need to "sample" it and run at a low enough RPM to A) get a decent read B) not destroy the LP. The only way you'd be able to get around this would be with multiple read heads (but the spiraling LP would cause issues) or by measuring it non-physically (laser, stereoscopic, etc) so that the LP does not need to spin, but that is *expensive*.

Knowing slashdot, the day traders had this story a month ago!

It always confused me that a website that notoriously posts articles that are at least a week old can possibly have "slow days".

The sad thing is profit actually seems to be a valid reason for passing ridiculous bills these days...

There is a good chance that 99% of the paper was just random scribblings and memos and there just happened to be 1 or 2 sheets of sensitive stuff.

If anonymous coward were treated as a single account it's karma would be so low, it would be banned from posting until at least 2056.

Restoring a vintage car has been considered cool for as long as there have been vintage cars. Mechanics are still not considered cool.
Yeah, because everyone reads the manual......

You get 2.5 times your advertised down speed at night or am I reading that wrong?

When the device asks for the code, enter the emergency number for your present location. The Emergency call icon appears.
I wonder what it does if you set your pin as 911 (or 112 or what-ever your local number is). Would it unlock or present the emergency number?
Seems like a stupid way to implement the feature if you ask me.
