I think I read that back in 79? 80? Anyway, it was before everyone tried to be "gonzo". Back in the days when Rolling Stone was actually worth reading. Besides, that line in my sig describes much of my life...
It was shown on ABC news during a discussion of, guess what, steganography. The key was "abc". The person who created it said that it had a message hidden in it. An image "in the wild" would be one that was found at images. that wasn't known beforehand to have steganographic content.
It just takes time. Do you know how many letters, e-mails, and phone calls the Representatives and Senators get each day? When the peanut butter and jellly sandwich patent came to light I fired off an e-mail to my representative, Frank Wolf (R-VA). Six weeks later I got a reply from one of his staffers who had looked into the matter, decided that the pb&j that was patented was more like a pop-tart than a traditional pb&j, and was therefore novel enough to be patentable. I sent a note thanking him for looking into the matter.
You blew his cover!

The CIA finally gets someone close to bin Laden and you slashdotty bastards blow his cover! Now the taliban is probably gonna put him through a shredder! What'll we tell Ernie?
Tiny phones have a problem. Ergonomics. There's a size below which the buttons can't go before you need a stylus to operate them, and a size below which the displays can't go before they are unreadable. If a phone, or other device, is below that size people won't buy it, because it will be inoperable, no matter how cool the tech, or how low the price. Remember calculator watches?
The Z-80A? A couple of years ago I was looking at embedded systems and the Big Name Chips were the 386/486, StrongArm, and Z80A. IIRC, the Z80A was a 32 bit Z80. The Z80 was what the Sinclair computer ran on, and some calculators.
My first job, lasted 5 years, I was the only programmer in the company. At this job I'm on a team, but I'm the C++ Guy. We also have an Oracle Guy, An HTML Guy, etc. Just because you're part of a team doesn't mean that you won't be by yourself much of the time.
Actually, at my first job I was part of a team. A Programmer, an electrician, a machine shop guy, an Autocad/designer guy. That was the main team.
How many of us saw the Tivo pause function and said "Hey! That's a great idea!" because we had never thought of it? In 92 pausing live TV was probably novel and non-obvious.

They can do business with whomever they please.
Are there any programs other than Autocad and Emacs that use lisp as the macro language?

I wonder what Big Bird is up to?
Use logarithms and a slide rule. They make the multiply/divides much easier.
In software, bash does that. So does doskey on windows systems. Wouldn't be hard to put a 512k ram module on the motherboard.
Fits on a 5.25 inch disk and runs well in 128kb of memory! Fast and easy to use!
Logons from libraries, cafe's, etc.
No. Hotmail. Apparently the terrorists were using free hotmail accounts to exchange info. No indications that they used crypto however.
I suspect that various governments are bringing pressure to bear. Hotmail et al are probably next. See this article at

Get rid of the "Find it at" and the second "information". Fix those and I'll vote it +1,FP!
Really.

That could be put on half or more of the stuff on my box.
Huh? Wouldn't H and H20 fall at the same rate? Or is the chamber not evacuated? Or do I need more coffee before posting?
Albeit at a lower temp than avgas. Remember the Hindenburg? Goes "boom" pretty well, too.

Methinks it stinks.

I bet a beowulf cluster of those would really suck.
