    Um, yea. Read the article, and check out the cleavage. Those aren't man-boobs.

  3. 5th Amendment on Merely Cloaking Data May Be Incriminating? · · Score: 1

    This is the same as saying, "He took the 5th! He must be guilty!", but that argument doesn't hold water.

    You can't use someone taking the 5th as "incriminating evidence".

    They can't make you testify to your password, if revealing your password incriminates you.

    IANAL.

  4. Re:This is all moot in the US on Groklaw Explains Microsoft and the GPLv3 · · Score: 1

    This doesn't apply to software as software on a CD/DVD is not a phonorecord within the meaning of the law. Software is licensed. Copies of audio/video recordings are sold.

    The voucher is a method of conveyance of the software and makes the conveyor bound by the GPLv3, otherwise they had no other license with which to convey.

    I agree, especially since most of our satellites are unmanned. /I just couldn't pass that up. //I say most, because of the ISS.

  9. Re:In some cases.... on Is Cash No Longer Legal Tender? · · Score: 1

    Public organizations are even less restricted by law due to Sovereign Immunity. So, even though the FAQ specifies private companies the law itself is not restricted to private companies.

    You are correct sir. See US Treasury site:

    http://www.treas.gov/education/faq/currency/legal- tender.shtml

    Only creditors have to take legal tender, so if you pay first, they can place restrictions on form of payment.

    coondoggie writes: to tell us that several California state legislators are pressuring IBM to release the Costa school district from some $5 million of long-standing debt as a charitable donation.

    Do you mean Contra Costa?

    How do you lose that much computer equipment? It must have walked off.

    When poaching becomes a problem, this means the job market has shifted back to a "sellers market"!

    Ka-ching!

    This relies on ANI. I am sure these calls are either CallerID blocked or forged.

  25. Re:Why stop there on Own Your Own 128-Bit Integer · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There have been DMCA takedown notices for XOR protection schemes, and even changing one bit, which is simpler than my scheme. Even ROT13 is more complex.

    DMCA says circumvention of protection schemes, not encryption schemes.
