I suppose it also melts through bunkers and armoured vehicles?
I agree on the concrete bunkers, but I don't think it would work on armoured vehicles (assuming the armor is some sort of metal), since the article states it only works on non-conductive materials.
Actually, the author does not use the bug-count-argument to point security in linux/oss is worse than in windows/commercial software.
From the article: "Just because software is closed and [most] people don't know there are security holes doesn't mean that security holes don't exist [or that] nobody knows about them. The security holes are still there."
Passport brilliantly combines the kludgey and unstable nature of NIS+ with the insecurity of the trusted hosts concept to produce a nine-step process with obvious opportunities (...) for security and other abuses
I don't think this is going to happen. If the public (or at least a large portion of) refuses to enable the hardware-DRM, those images/movies/flash apps won't be viewed by lots of people, making them prety useless, and eventually disappear. erik
After 5-10 viewings, I'm better off having bought the DVD
Why would you want to view a movie that many times? When you've seen it, you've seen it. What's the point in watching it more than one time. I remember my brother taping 1 hour of football every day, and then watching it for 3 hours, I really never saw the point in that.
By converting your mp3's to ogg, you loose quality, resulting in oggs that sound worse than your mp3's. What's so wrong with using both formats side-by-side anyway, since all/most(?) players that support ogg, also support mp3. I wouldn't want to compromise quality, just to have all my music files the same file-extension...
I don't know how effective laptops would be against guided missiles, but I guess it could get prety dangerous when some fanatics smuggle radio-devices on a flight, to upset the flight systems and endanger the plane and the people in it.
Well, I tried typing my name in google, and I found out, that I'm actually a pretty good dancer, a computer scientist looking for a job, a politician (yuck!), someone's causin (but I don't know him), that I'm actually a pretty good free-style swimmer, a bad sci-fi movies reviewer, a web-designer with a terrible style, another politician (yuckyuck!!), and that I gave a presentation about team-robotics last year.
Actually, the last one's true, really surprised me, that I can actually be found (don't know if I should be happy about it, though)
For the uninformed voyager is the most distant man made object. For the first time we are recieving photos of distant parts of the solar system
Yeahm that's right, not anything man-made has made it to the 4th quadrant. And, hell, that captain Janeway sure does a good job getting them back from 75 lightyears from here...
Slashdot Mirror
And there's allready a real application here
...this device can be improved alot now :)
On a related note..

...sorry ;P...
Here [janisian.com] is the "Human Masturbation Preventer".
And here another one
"all sorts of wonderful new things can be invented that you and I can't imagine"
What?! I for one thing can imagine a Beowulf cluster.
Yeah, Imagine a Beowulf cluster of machines all running Windows XP and Office 11!
... the horror...
"Always too loud"???? My atari 1040ST is silent.
I bet it makes a _lot_ of noise if you start using the keyboard...
Yeah, it's called putting a PC in another room and accessing it via vnc/ssh. You won't hear a thing.
:)
And what were you planning to use to access that pc in the other room?...
oh wait, of course, that silent pc they're talking about

Babies do not belong in movie theaters! You have to be able to sit down and shut up for at least 2 hours.

Wow! Do I sense a _lot_ of frustration here, or what?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa (damn-you-no-yelling-filter) size batteries?
ok, sorry...
actually, stories that start with numbers and other characters than letters, would show up before this story.
I _really_ feel that /. needs a '-500: first post' moderation option... so annoying.
... whole new meaning to 'security holes'!
Why not ffwd 10 years and see what happened :)
What's to stop the same people who are
/. moderations. ;)
saturating KaZaa with false files to simply rate good files negatively?
Yeah, it's kinda the same problem as with
All my comments are great(+5), but those crooks just keep modding me down

I just love sarcasm
From the article:
First, the ultraviolet wavelengths in sunlight react with a photocatalyst to break down organic debris on the glass
I don't think the dirt that get's on the solar panels on mars is organic...
Are there plans to reuse or recycle the returned CD walkmans?
;)
How? They're glued shut

Hmm, since when do they care about that
