so much FUD here! -
try touching the space in between a serpentine belt and any tensioner/roller - Might not kill you, but the effect may not be any better than touching a large, live capacitor...
So now that sony has leaked their master key (whether intentional, inadvertent, or not), would certain protections of the DMCA become harder to enforce? Or, put another way, would this help in the defense of those pursuing activities akin like GeoHot?
Hang on a minute. I don't care much about the stem cell issue, but I do care about subjecting sentient beings to pain.
This is one of a number of monkeys deliberately paralysed so that research can be carried out. In this case the monkey's functionality is partially restored. Others will have been less lucky, and it's highly likely that all of them including this one were killed off afterwards in order to see what had happened.
Fully grown monkeys are more sentient than human embryos, and have more ability to suffer.
That was the first thing that I thought of as well, and noticed that the TFA conveniently glazed past this.
If it was an accidentally injured primate, that would be one thing, but intentionally crippling and maiming of primates is incorrigible.

Jewish Internet company employee arrested for selling secrets
October 7, 2010
(JTA) -- A Jewish employee of a Boston-area Internet company was arrested on suspicion of selling confidential information to a foreign company.
Elliot Doxer, 42, who works in the finance department of Akamai Technologies Inc., was charged Wednesday with wire fraud for providing confidential business information to an undercover FBI agent that he believed was a foreign government agent. The information included contract details, employee information and customer lists.
The country was identified in the indictment as Country X.
"I am a Jewish American who lives in Boston," Doxer reportedly wrote in an e-mail to a foreign country's consulate in Boston. "I know you are always looking for information and I am offering the little I may have."
Doxer, who had access to invoices and customer contact information, also said in a later message that his goal was "to help our homeland and our war against our enemies."
He informed the agent that his company served the U.S. Department of Defense, Airbus and several Arab companies. Doxer reportedly asked for $3,000 in compensation for his actions.
According to the complaint, Doxer provided the agent with a list of Akamai's customers, several contracts and a list of employees and their contact information. Doxer and the agent first made contact in September 2007.
not really familiar with Cryptome, so I'll go ahead and start bashing!
It's hard to imagine that they didn't have something as basic as 2-factor auth on admin/shell/etc if they are touting that they host sensitive data of any kind...
just reeks of "doing it wrong"

yes.. was just thinking the same thing... great excuse! - "The solar flare burned down ma failing business..."
and why not just open source most of it? Why couldn't big chunks of the R+D be opened up to the communities?
At least there will be less raping of Debussy.
apropos
ahh, good ole slashdot... It's been a while since I have seen a quality tree of posts.. Post, parent, and grandparent all made me chuckle...

Yes, they call this "Too big to secure..."
thank you captain obvious!
TSA did the same thing a while back with the passenger screening manual. http://boardingarea.com/blogs/thewanderingaramean/2009/12/the-tsa-makes-another-stupid-move/ http://cryptome.org/0001/tsa-ssi-02.htm You would think that they put out a memo on how to properly redact digital documents?
don't forget the trolling, too!
more like: the cloud is.... you don't know where the cloud is
+1 ahh yes. Anyone seriously interested in this topic should read Bob Katz's most-excellent "Mastering Audio: The Art and The Science"
