Nothing new to see here. People have been doing touch interfaces with AVR and other microcontrollers long before and have used a variety of conductive materials for that (copper traces, aluminium, very thin graphite on glass etc.).
This story boils down to: Look Ma, we bought a can of graphite spray and connected it to some touch-sensor interface likes thousands have done before us.
Many banks in Germany have changed this now because many of these card readers had been modified for skimming purposes in the past. So our banks have now upgraded most ATM with antiskimming devices and they either leave the door open or have replaced the card reader with a simple "open doorf" push button.
Also it brings no security (any criminal who wants to enter will be able to present a working card and be it a prepaid credit card just bought at the gas station). I also believe the main reasoning for the requirement of a card to enter the lobby was to keep out homeless people.
Addendum: And really, the "un-holiday party mix" is nearly on-par with some of the electronic shit popular these days. Rerecord it with better samples and maybe add some effects and nobody would think it is a troll track.
As the Wikipedia also has that article in swedish, I would assume that this is a concept used in your country as well. I don't really know about details, but for example the german version states (for germany) that the prisoner under this program normally will be released to family on weekends.
This is what they claim. You might remember from the NSA documents that it appears standard procedure to cover the source of information by creating a plausible lie.
Of course they would never tell if they have enough metadata and surveillance to identify Tor users and hidden sites. It would be in their interest to keep us using a network they can penetrate.
can the government force you to lie and state that you haven't been contacted when you actually have
As we should have learned, the government by large does not care if they "can" (in a legally sense), they just do it. But if necessary: Those rubber stamp courts will surely find a way to make it happen in a way which is legal on paper.
I believe that most of the stuff on H Online is also available through the newsticker of Heise (http://www.heise.de/newsticker) in German. Which should not be such a surprise considering that H Online is/was operated by Heise (their UK part in this case) as well.
Heise is the publisher who publishes for example the well respected computer magazine c't in Germany.
Instead of using some custom two-factor authentication which is bound to a specific phone, they should use TOTP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-time_Password_Algorithm). Then the same shared secret could be configured into several token generators (e.g. Google Authenticator on Android).
TOTP seems to become the standard for two-factor authentication, given that both Facebook and Google use this (Facebook provides its own limited code generator with their App) and also quite a few other significant services (e.g. Dropbox, Amazon AWS).
Google also provides a pam module for TOTP which allows one to setup TOTP for own services. I tried that yesterday: Installed the PAM module and added a key into Google Authenticator. Result: TOTP secured SSH login (by using normal account password with the token appended). TOTP support can also be added to non-PAM capable applications, for example a TOTP extension for Mediawiki exists. I tried that one as well and it is working great.
Google Authenticator App allows one to configure more than one account, so you can secure different services with TOTP and still have one central token generator App.
So you put the binary content in a file in a branch and provide the link to the generated tar ball for that branch. It's not as if "file sharers" aren't used to having to unpack a archive which was inside another archive (which sometime was in even another archive).
I'm not sure if you are correct, though. From the FA:
"Bitcoins are really hard to get your hands on if you want to get them in large quantities," he told the BBC when asked why he decided to accept the currency for his home. "I have a couple projects that I want to get started, and they will take a lot of Bitcoins."
So it sure sound like he will accept at least quite a large part in Bitcoins. The article states that the priced asked for currently equal about 5300 Bitcoin.
I was a satisfied user of Bloglines for many years until it was overtaken and crippled by some Internet business. I reluctantly switched to Google Reader which had many shortcomings (e.g. no really persistent "keep unread" feature), but I got used to it because it was the only usable web RSS reader left.
Any now Google is killing this one as well. Thank you very much. Not.
I'm somewhat teared apart on this. On the one hand, it is great that they fight against this "Right Alliance". On the other hand, it appears quite foolish, considering the harsh sentences the TPB founders have received (we were told at that time, that what PirateBay does would be legal under swedish law, still they got very stiff sentences).
Kudos to them to stand up against this pressure, but I absolutely hope that none of them will have to face similar hard problems and sentences. And I hope that the pirate party will not get damage from this.
The creators should really decide what they feel. Because in the explanation on piratebay they show understanding if people won't buy before trying etc. but people should consider buying.
But then they use a file name containing "(pirate)" and also put at least one text scroller in the movie "Decided to pirate our movie, eh?"
No, i did not decide to pirate your movie. I downloaded it because you offered it for free download. I'm not a fan of Minecraft but if I like what I see I might have considered buying the movie.
But being insulted as a pirate when I just took their offer? This will surely not help positively with my decision if I shall give them money.
For quite a while there is a third kind of milk, at least over here in Germany, so called "prolonged freshness" (lÃnger frisch).
By either microfiltration or short heating of the milk (much less than UHT) you get milk which will stay fresh for about two to three weeks. The dealers love that milk because there is less risk of waste and they only need to order less frequently. Unfortunately there is absolutely no gain to the customer because once the milk was first opened, it will bet bad as fast as "normal" milk. Also the "longer fresh" milk tastes not so good.
These days it is getting rather hard to get "normal" (fresh/traditional made) milk.
If you do such a stunt, always carry another paid-for ticket with you. By doing so many of the possible charges like riding without a ticket can not be applied.
Even Fraud might be off the table because the fraud would normally be that you made the machine believe that you have a valid ticket. But in that case you have a valid ticket, so likely no Fraud (depends on the country and their laws).
Ok, mcdonalds.org is owned by MCD, but mcdonalds.net is not. Neither is mcdonalds.info, mcdonalds.pro or mcdonalds.travel.
Or for some ccTLDS:
Not owned: mcdonalds.li, mcdonalds.am, mcdonalds.com.ar, mcdonalds.bg, this list goes on. Not even registered: mcdonalds.ag, mcdonalds.ai, this list as well goes on.
Untrue. For example Naturstrom charges EUR 0.234 per kWh for power produced 100% by water and wind).
Power from coal, nuclear and other sources is cheaper. My local utility for example charges EUR 0,2293 per kWh for the first 5000 kWh and then EUR 0,2177 per kWh.

Logic Pro is also Mac-only (no wonder as it was created by Apple) and has still lots of fans and users.
DRM does not work. There will always be a way around it.

At least his latest album is still available, and you can hear 30 seconds out of 31 seconds of each track here: http://www.7digital.com/artist/kim-jong-deux/release/a-kim-jong-christmas
Maybe I'm crazy but I actually found the music not too bad. It's weird music but it seems to have something...
Oh and here is a speech synthesizer using Web Audio API: http://www.masswerk.at/mespeak/
My favorite example of Web Audio API is Plink: http://labs.dinahmoe.com/plink/
Maybe something like this?

Nonsense. Many still working mirrors have "debian-multimedia.org" in the path name, e.g. http://debian.netcologne.de/debian-multimedia.org
