It's a honeypot you fool. Anyone guessing a 14 char password got the info from/. and he is on to you. Don't be a sucker, this guy will out think you everytime.
I personally maintain very lax security but I pay for a rather large military so I feel pretty safe.
"a half-floor that nobody knows about"
Everyone who saw Being John Malkovich knows about your secret half floor. So that's what they were doing with all those filing cabinets. Malkovich, malkovich malkovich, malkovich malkovich malkovich malkovich.
It's all about variable pricing. Let the new hot single cost $2 and slide down from their.
It has the added benefit of identifing the piracy price point. Look at the distribution of songs vs. price and see what the thiefs are willing to pay vs. steal.
Parent is entirely right, fingerprints are a joke. The more sane alternative are toeprints. Think about it. Most of the time toes are wrapped up securely in socks (some of the/. crowd surely has holes but this might inspire them to greater hygine). The invention of Velcro has significantly reduced toeprint checkout times, shoe removal times are almost a non-issue.
Of course there are a number of reasons this system is not more widely used and the less secure fingerprint system is. RSA has a patent on the technique and royalties are exorbiant leaving low-marging retailer out in the cold. Another is really high-adoption rate of open-toed-sandels in US, including the particularly dangerous flip-flop.
That's what everyone thinks and that is why it never works. The Art of War makes a clear case for hiding where your enemy is most likely to be found and looking for enemy where they are most likely to not hide.
You sir have a lot to learn about the black arts and deception.
Or it could be they want us to think it is a hoax project because they are tantalizingly close to actually teleportation. It has been my experience that they only use these double-double-cover-ups when the project has some serious voodoo. But then again I could be wrong.

is Steven King dead? depends who you ask.
That's the best part. At 5 cents DRM is meaningless. Why bother copy protecting something that no one is stealing?

Ahhh, hello you have 2 thumbs. Not to mention big toes which if you wear flip-flops are very accessiable.
For those not in US he means tyre. Why is Slashdot so US focused?
fyi abc is a horrible password. I would recommend "password" or simply "pass"
It won't be a valid beta unless they got a half a dozen or so.
Everyone knows there is a future in death rays. Kittens? Not so much.
I can't have both?
Why do you consider a Taco Bell a weapon? I happen to like food there.

I thought Stephen King was dead. Passed away of a heart attack or something, I remember hearing it on the radio.

Or you could buy the iPod bicycle charger here.
I am not falling for that again. I am not telling you where my secrets resides.
My advice to you is to stay away from the clam chowder.
The real question is what would Jesus do?
After 5 innings you call it if it rains. Does that help?
I will enjoy that sign, thanks, my ass was dirty.
Someone needs to explain this to the Iraqis. They need to understand that our offer of statehood is for a limited time and they ought to accept.
