Unless you're talking about active encryption on the customer card, encrypting the data on the mag stripe won't help. I'd still be able to replay the mag stripe contents to get a valid auth; the only difference would be that I couldn't read it in plain text.
According to Mike Rowe of "Dirty Jobs", the county that the Jack Daniel's Distillery is in is 'dry', so they can't legally taste their own product in their own factory!!!
Do you happen to know about the speed of an electrical signal over copper? I.e. is fiber really any
better in terms of speed? Or does its main benefit come from capacity?
You're looking for velocity of propagation, which is limited in electrical media by distributed reactance, and by similar means in fiber. That article states the twisted pair ethernet cable can have velocity factors between.42 and.7 - that's pretty slow!
Amateur radio operators have to account for this when making antennas and matching stubs - the 'electrical' length of a piece of coax != the physical length.
Newsflash - crops appear different in the IR spectrum, as well as their reflected visible spectrum. Just because your eyes can't see the difference doesn't mean that a computercan't.
IMHO you could've used ellipsis for your examples since they snip out parts of the quote.
An anonymous reader suggest[s] at [sic] article over at ScienceDaily about the achievement of the holy grail of nanoscience: "...researchers at the US Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory...".
The other example could also be written as "Joe...hated journalists anyway." or as "He [Joe] hated journalists anyway." Note the need for the added [s] and [sic] - it should be 'suggests an'. Geez, kdawson, did you finish third grade?
Well, the point was that if you survived a crash, then so did the tank. If you didn't, neither did the tank, but then you wouldn't care at that point, would you?
My wife 'gets it' and isn't afraid to ride with me. Mom's still not comfortable with the whole car-without-a-body-zipping-along-at-70MPH thing.
I've run into this education issue personally. I have a sand rail (what most people call a "Dune Buggy"). The gas tank is right behind the passenger's heads, inside the roll cage. My mother freaked when she saw that - she was concerned it was so close to passengers. "What happens in an accident?" she asked. I pointed out that the best place for the tank is where there's the most protection, and that's near the people, inside the roll cage. If it were outside, you'd guarantee a ruptured tank (no body skins on this vehicle, just tubular frame). Inside, your body would take as much damage as it takes to rupture the tank, meaning you'd probably be dead of blunt force trauma before a fire started from a ruptured tank.
Well, this article describes how gas station operators cleverly defrauded consumers while duping the testers by using 'custom' firmware or parts:
The gas dealers were especially difficult to catch there because the equipment initially fooled inspectors. While inspectors usually pump 1, 5 or 10 gallons of gasoline for testing, the illegal equipment ensured those amounts dispensed properly.
"They were using our own test methods to beat us at our own games," he said. "We started receiving enough complaints to lead us to believe something was going on."
When undercover inspectors pumped differing amounts of gasoline--such as 6 or 9 gallons--they discovered they were shortchanged by as much as a third.
He said savvy consumers can watch for such a scam.
For example, if a gas pump is rigged, the gauge that shows gallon measurements will speed up right after the 1-, 5- and 10-gallon marks, and go really slowly as they approach those points.
"You could actually see that speed up and slow down," he said.

I didn't know the Army divided their troops based on their temperature. How does it feel to be nearly boiling? 8-)
That's an interesting thing to have on your phone!

My ideal solution would be to have crypto built in to the card like the $5 Paypal security fobs. BTW, they work at paypal, eBay, and for Verisign's openID offering. Sweet!
They pulled themselves over after seeing their own Cerenkov radiation and thinking it was the cops.

It sounds like Dave Chappelle as Rick James about to hit Charlie Murphy in the forehead with his ring.

Prozac == fluoxetine, which is mentioned in the article.

Is that 'pulls' as in "pulls a prank" or "pulls a stunt"? I feel like Vista was a prank all around.

As someone who's acutely allergic to poison ivy, I hope that it's an anecdotal story! I can't imagine how uncomfortable that would be.
Olestra has already caused that.

Eating too much hair can lead to Trichobezoars, some of which were thought to have mystical powers. Others can lead to Darwin Awards.
