Exactly. Securing the data is not much use if the programs accessing that data are compromised. If the encryption program is conning you into thinking that your data has been securely encrypted, you're screwed. I'm not an expert in this area, but I don't know why this approach is not more widespread.
This may still come to pass. I have a massive monitor at office but I've found that using hard copies of specs improves my productivity -- I think it's because it gives me a feel of "where" the piece of information I want to access is. I have to turn my head or move my hand to a separate, physical location in space rather than doing a virtual switch on screen.
If e-readers were to become cheaper and thinner, I'd have a bunch of them on my desk too.
Yes. No real world crook would take the time to write a virus with a sexy female voice that says "Releasing deadly virus in... FIVE seconds...". Hollywood had it wrong all the way back from the time they decided that there is some Terrorist Bombers' Guild that has standardized the color coding of bomb wiring. If I were a bomber, I'd use purple wires for everything. Try disarming *that*.
Is there such a thing as an emergency PIN/password? I.e. a secondary password that lets you in just the same, but quietly alerts authorities that you are being coerced? There is an urban legend that says ATM PINs entered backwards do this, but they're just that -- legends.
"text that would allow companies that control data and third parties to process personal data without informing consumers, on grounds of "legitimate interest""
"The definition of personal data has also been narrowed to exclude 'pseudonymous data' and suggested safeguards were ignored. This is risky because such data can easily be associated to individuals"
So they don't always have to tell you they're collecting personal info and once your name, phone number, profile picture and other identifying data is stripped, they can do whatever they want with your data?
This is NOT a vaccine. This is a form of genetic mutilation based on some person's idea of ethics. In that sense, it's only a few notches above female circumcision.

No problem. I used to do the exact same thing!

He put the S in Rivest-Shamir-Alderman
You mean Adleman.
You want to talk hard to work with, try gamma titanium aluminide.
I think gamma titanium aluminide is managing my project.
one might even say he threw a tantalum

Let's be very clear.
Obama?
that this device is always presented rear first (on both HP and Engadget). Is there something the matter with the screen?
Quantum entangle me an apple.
But wait, there's more:
"Zawodny says that the most logical first application of LENR is the home reactor..."
Are we talking about the same type of logic?
"...is called Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions or Lattice Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR). In the late 1980s, it went by the name of “cold fusion.”
This claims you can harness the power of the weak nuclear force while turning nickel to copper without releasing ionizing radiation.
And: "In past years, several labs have blown up while studying LENR and windows have melted".
Seriously?

So like George "Read-my-lips" Bush?
Dammit. Slashdot eats Cyrillic characters. They name him http://www.meaning-of-names.com/russian-names/karolek.asp
Wrong. Somewhere on a farm in Russia, a kindly old couple brings home an infant found lying abandoned in their burning field. They name him .
Look at the globe again. It's not the pope that's the target. It's Santa Claus.
Vaccines, in a broader sense, enhance your bodies natural abilities, not break them. Which is what this thing does.

I think I'll wait until these results can be verified by real biologists.
Every 3 to 5 years this topic comes up... Except it is the same old discoveries couched in modern terms.
Pythia does say that all this has happened before and will happen again. COBOL is where it all began.
I came here just to point out that "The scriptures say that COBOL points the way". I'm glad to see someone else had the same idea.
I think the banks who transfer our paychecks, maintain our accounts and maintain our debit cards should not be allowed to gamble with our money.
