Looks like you are working for MS as a bug finder(for free of course). In fact, you were even willing to pay them $255 to find their bugs for them, but even MS isn't so cruel as to take your money when they are getting your services for free.
The criminal charges were not mentioned. Or was it just the University police.
I don't know about other Universities, but the U of U's police are state troopers, and have jusristiction throughout the state although they only work at the University. So they could file criminal charges just as easily as the SLCPD.
Yes they will, if they have passwords. That is why biometrics is being pushed so hard. Voice recognition is coming into its own, and fingerprint and retina scanning are getting quite advanced as well. I predict within the next 5-10 years there will be an explosion of these types of products. I think quite a few large companies will implement systems such as this because of the yellow sticky note problem.
I run Seti on a couple of dual PII linux boxen(333mhz*2*2 machines) and I simply run 2 clients instead of 1. This takes up both procs and kicks out workunits quite quickly. The performance for userland tasks does not seem to drop, by default the seti clients run nice and yield gracefully to other processes. I guess if I was really concerned about it, I could run 3 clients so I could take adantage of any spare cycles (like when the client sends in a WU, etc.) but I don't really think it would be worth the bother. Two clients seem to keep the CPU utilization high enough.
Soon every cell phone will have a mandated GPS location system. If you carry a cell phone, Big Brother already knows where you are, he doesn't need your car to tell him. Check out this CNN article: Will Big Brother track you by cell phone?
Perhaps if you live in California or somewhere else where energy prices are outrageous. I run 10 machines 24/7 at my house and my total bill is usually around $60. That includes all the other power hungry appliances (TVs, Dryer, Fridge, AC, etc.). If I was paying $60/machine my bill would be well over $600. I don't know where you are getting your figures but you need to check them again.

If you are traveling faster than light, by the equation e=mc^2 you have infinite mass, and need infinite energy to make that infinite mass. This equation may break down in the "warp bubble" you are referring to, but no matter what you will get more massive as you approach the speed of light.
There are a boatload of 675s on ebay, you might one to pick one up. In my area Qwest is requiring 678s for new installations, they won't let you use your old 675 if you move. So there are quite a few up for grabs now. Maybe I'll get a couple of them and make my own DSL line and get some REAL bandwidth:)
Actually, there is a Solaris type "pkill" in RedHat 7.x (will grep for a process name) if you are concerned about the difficulty of killing a process name. I like and use daemontools, but the ability to restart a process is not one of the reasons, as there are many ways to get that job done.

The/. article title: Low-Level Radiation May be Mutagenic is pretty misleading. The article concerned a study of people who cleaned up after Chernobyl. I wouldn't exactly call that "low level radiation". The focus of the study was to see if somatic DNA was being affected by the radiation, making the offspring of the cleanup crew have a greater rate of mutation than normal. The study results were pretty scary, but this is not something that was unknown.
As a matter of fact, I have tested the exploit on an unpatched server, and it does exactly as the advisory says. The "proof-of-concept" exploit they posted wrote a text file to c:, but it would be trivial to replace this with an executable backdoor file in the startup directory.

What fucking bullshit. How does this prove anything? All that guy did was bribe an underfunded group of people in the US government.
In the US government? NASA was against this mission from the start. However, Russia has the right to send anybody they want on the supply missions. If they want the cash, that is their business. It is part their station too, and it is their vehicle transporting him there.
Yeah if they keep letting rich fools without any formal training up there.
He may or may not be a rich fool, but he has pleny of formal training. He worked at NASA as an engineer for years, and he has spent the last 9 months going through training for this mission. He has done the same training the Cosmonauts go through, even down to wilderness survival training. To assert that he is just some spoiled, rich brat is pretty insulting to him, he seems quite prepared for this mission.
