Borrowing from a certain on-air radio program: the threat to humans is that AI becomes indifferent to humans (neither benevolent nor malevolent, just indifferent like H.P. Lovecraft's Old Ones.) in the same way humans are indifferent to ants. AI could "move" humans out of their way just as humans move ants out of the way.
E. Musk, G. Rose, A. Patch and others are just saying we must mitigate this risk now.
China is investing, with zero expectation on ROI, in semiconductors under the guise of National Security according to the US Dept of Commerce. See http://electronicspurchasingst...
A quick search for "unsolved anthrax cases" turned up a WSJ article that mentions a facility in MD. I wonder if any connection between those cases and these "missing" vials?
How can you tell it is upside down?
Are there any other displaced rocks or pebbles or other marks that show its path? (What is different between these two panels?)
Just wondering...
Ok. This is a case of "nothing new here" from the point of view of "lawful intercept". CALEA just requires the build-in of technology to allow lawful intercept. Nothing wrong with that- right? What could be wrong with capability to enable lawful monitoring? Only lawful uses- right? Unlawful use- won't happen- right?
Anyone know how to encrypt voice comm out-of-band? Wiretap that!
All Boolean logic functions can be implemented with just a NOR or NAND. Add a conditional branch and a move (ok- more than one instruction now) and you have a general purpose computer.
Everyone's performance is determined by the equation P=f(M,S,E) where:
P= performance
M= motivation
S= skill (right skills to do the job)
E= environment (right tools to do the job.
Performance is a function of a person's Motivation, Skill level, and Environment.
A leader's role is to make sure the S's and the E's are satisfied (more training; better tools) and to properly motivate.
For each person the M is different but there are common goals.
A good leader can identify, create, and nurture those M's such that P is maximized.
There are many ways to create M's:
1) performance based pay/bonus
2) competition with peers or self
3) fear
4) freedom
5) challenges
6) "whitewashing the fence"
7) others?
EDN magazine has electronic design ideas with instructions (not "kits" however): http://www.edn.com/index.asp?layout=news&spacedesc=designIdeas&industryid=44217
Here is the website's summary:
"EDN's Design Ideas, contributed by practicing electronics engineers, deliver practical, innovative circuit designs in a concise format complete with circuit schematic diagrams, application details, and even software code. Design Ideas focus on topics/applications including analog functions, filters, power management, display drivers, FPGAs, microcontrollers, sensors, and much more."
The first question was "How would you prefer to send sensitive data?" along with "what would be on your wish list?".
That allows one to ignore the question of "even if it should be sent" or "what about after it is sent".
The second question was "What would be on your wishlist for the best way to send...?".
That allows one to pick any method for sending.
Therefore I would use (or want to use) quantum cryptography.

How close did this come to creating a black hole?
Wasn't the original editor "ed"? Then someone put a visual interface onto ed.

Learned quickly to run a magic marker squiggly line over the top of those card decks...
Imagine the laser light shows!

swallowed a fly. Just wondering what scares away large langur monkeys?

Googling CALEA right now...
Off topic but- Me too. I was ready to buy...
In an attempt to answer the OP's question of: "In this digital age what other avenues are there for preserving memories?" I submit this previous /. post of a 100 year life storage device: http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/10/06/25/0219258/SanDisk-WORM-SD-Card-Can-Store-Data-For-100-Years
Next time they should consider placing two blow out preventers, one right after the other, just in case the first one fails.
I don't use these but thought it would eliminate the need for keys altogether: http://www.selfdefenseproducts.com/Beginner-Lock-Pick-Set-p-16146.html
technology is indistinguishable from magic. Maybe the iPAD is sufficiently advanced for most consumers?
I limited my remark to the on-line community aspect because any mention of the real reason for frequenting /. is totally NSFW.
Now I really feel depressed...

I think the reference was simply: white hat==good guy black hat==bad guy. See also the "Six Hats" method for thinking (but I'm not sure it applies in this case): http://members.optusnet.com.au/~charles57/Creative/Techniques/sixhats.htm

Good, fast, or cheap- pick any two.
