The Suse DVD booted just fine for me. Is this only an issue with BIOS's older than 2 years? It's worked on both a newer system, and an old HP we had sitting around.
There was a story in Analog back around '86 that dealt with odors in space. In this case the cook had smuggled garlic on board a ship, despite a ban on it's use. It revealed the presence of alien parasites when it turned out they were allergic to the garlic.
Story or not though, the idea of being trapped in a small ship with someone reeking of garlic, curry, and onions is enough to make me consider purging the atmosphere.
As an addition to the first point, if you're going to do it at a store choose one that let's you swipe the card yourself. If they have to swipe don't let your eyes off the card. If the card reader is out of view it's in your best interest to go somewhere else.
Toronto police busted 70 people working at convenience stores for double swiping a few years ago. (Between 98 and 2001, as I lived there at the time). A second reader located beside the primary was used to collect card info. I don't know if cameras were used to collect the pins or not.
Since the story at the time indicated that it was mostly employees that had been approached by people not involved with the store, I'm guessing the machines were portable so they could be brough t in and out with the boss none the wiser.
Don't be silly! The only effective tinfoil hat is the one you make yourself!
But then, what if they're sneaking into our homes and replacing our working tinfoil hats with ones created by the government. Recalibrated to broadcast our every thoughts.
That's a good point... as long as they're monitoring the radiowaves they'll know something's going on... I'd see the military watching out for that, but corporate espionage would probably be easier to pull off.
Have you seen some of the miniature RCs being created by hobbyists?
Henry Pasquet has a 2.6 gram airplane that flies at walking speed. You can see it in the Feb 2004 issue of FlyRC magazine, on page 162.
Soon you won't even need to get high up to do the recon, you'll be able to navigate through buildings and populated areas with machines that are incredibly hard to spot.
Whether that will lead to a crackdown on RC hobbies in the future remains to be seen.

But you already knew where to look.

If you were dropped off in Alberta and told to find some, but didn't know about Drumheller, you probably wouldn't find any there either
Fossils aren't that rare. If you wait outside a Tom Jones concert a few of them might even hit on you.
er, a bunny.

my outrage confused me
It wasn't a troll "Curious George Eats a Monkey" is hilarious! :P
Only because they can't get their noses through the screen.
Well, if the dinosaurs at qwantz.com die out it's just cuz they weren't funny enough :P
Curious George isn't exactly a pansy either.
(Too bad the domain name is disturbingly misleading.)
Doesn't the metal strip run vertically about 1/3 of the length of the bill though? The faces are in the center.
Good point though.
Stinks of hoax to me.

I don't trust any article until it's been duped on here at LEAST twice.
Dear mods,

He wanted to know how it could get any more public than being distributed on the internet.
Therefore the suggestion of tattooing it on his mothers posterior, which is implied to receive a great deal more traffic is actually not offtopic.
(bored and with karma to burn
Tattooing it on your mamma's ass! :D
Sorry, couldn't resist.
Magic smoke?

Well the first thing you want to do is stop hiding your weed in your computer
Then again, bong making could be considered a hacking art in itself.
I modded mine too, but I don't think it should count as a hack when someone else's work is implemented.
Unless you improve upon the methodology or end result.
*cough* She wasn't that secure in the first place.

Just a second, there's someone at the door.
It's designed to be flown indoors.

Hmph. What do aliens care about Area 51? It's obvious from all those documentaries shown at Drive-Ins during the 50s that Mars Needs Women!
