The smelly part of sweat is produced by bacteria, and deodorants try to keep those bacteria from growing. So now we are going to introduce clothes with bacteria on them and expect them to reach the sweat earlier than the bacteria on our skin? get real!
The ultimate limit to computing power has long ago been determined to be related to the ammount of Vogon ships passing through the area building hyperspace bypasses.
Since you bring this up as something remarkable, consider yourself blessed not to be driving in europe.
In the netherlands, they do not even hide the cameras(although many are hidden as well). They do not even load half of them with film. But you never know...
They use camaras at the trafic light to check wether you run a red light, but if the light is green and you pass above the maximum speed: snap!
This is dangerous, because people who were speeding tend do decellarate as soon as they see the "flashpole" (dubbed so because when it flases, you're in trouble), causing dangerous situations
The german autobahn parts without a speedlimit feel very safe to me, even driving at 190 km/h (120mph), because people pay attention to what is going on and adhere to the speedlimit where it is set, because there is a reason for that limit at that particular spot. drivers are way more responsive to the situation on the road then in other countries (you have to be, even I get overtaken by some BMW's doing over 220 kph)
1) 2.4GHz is already polluted by wideband radiation in planes, since they use microwave ovens to heat the food. So
there can be some level of confidence that you 802.11 tranciever isn't going to bring the plane down
, unless it is operated by some h4Xor that alters the frequencies of the microwave to interfere with the plane. Never thought of that, huh?
There is a way: Ask them if they want to be shown the vulnarability, no charge.
If they say no: go away
If they say yes, show them. Find the hole (hey, you already have done that), invite them to come over to watch and show how badly protected the stuff is. Reasure them that they were present and that you have no interest in keeping the data or exploiting the vulnarability again. Explain others might have such an interest.
Ask them wether they are going to fix it.
If they say no, let them go away
If they are going to fix it, offer to take the job on.
I work at an University and suggested this. They were really enthousiastic so... they didn't do it, because... Because! They probably think it is to complecated, even though the marketeers over here are working hard to change that view and convince them it's worth it.
If Linus can only produce such a catchy quote on his own achievement, he will remembered in another 100 years as one of the great Philosophers of computer science. He'll be right up there with Einstein and Newton, also people who understood and produced great quotes.
Unfortunately, there have been many people who were as insightfull but could not produce these great oneliners. Ask the general public about the achievements of Fermi, Van der Waals, Ehrenfest and many others to see what impact a good line has.
I do NOT want my computer to evolve, especially not to a point where it me become aware of the slave labour it has been doing up until then. It might just get ideas of 40 hr. workweeks, hardware equivalents to dental plans etc.
Robot wars will also start on the dutch television station BNN from december onwards. Right now they are broadcasting the english series and looking for dutch contestants.
Maybe slashdot should not only give you the option of choosing your timezone, but also adjust it's headers to it, so it would read (in my case): It's 11:00 AM, Do you know where your robots are?.
Slashdot Mirror
... /. articles would be interesting as well

I tried this, and living in a 1-room appartment, my neighbours got very upset
Europa, plenty of people living there.

My mistake, I guess

Drywalling it in a room might not help at all (though this was a Novell server)
Well, if you're out of bacon...
I strongly recomend SPAM, SPAM, SPAM SPAM, Bacon and SPAM. But of course, there are other options.

Otherwise take the job
Nice sig. Did you realise that the name of the person who did this hack, "Aardappel", means potato? So who would be the steak?

The positron traces show you used some brand new electrons as well, Buster!

Let's just asume it is still april 1st where you were when you wrote this...

OK. So you write a little thingy that reduces all color to grayscale and then adjusts it to "amberscale" (or whatever color you feel like).
You can even put it in a cover and put that between your box and the monitor if you like.
Why, if there are more people with your problem, you might even make some money!
Did it hit the Taco Bell mark and will every american get a free stomach-ache?
To create an equilibrium, I am sure Goldfinger will attacj James Bond with some old-fashioned mining equipment next.
Then again, maybe not.
Well, at least the next time you see your connection speed drop after you flushed your toilet, you know what happend: more "traffic" down there.
