I found myself asking the same question. Then I looked under that big flashy ad that made my eyes start to water and lo and behold! The rest of the article. Maybe Taco and co. can make the ads slightly less obtrusive so that they occur between the article and the comments, not breaking the article in obstrucive places.
Later that day, Cohen announced that Philips would also be marketing a full line of proprietary hardware and software designed to reproduce the new copy-protected CDs. TCO is expected to top $400.*

An article, about a college that wants George Lucas to credit an architect, whose work has been changed and remodeled several times, for inspiration creating a scene in a movie that half the people who saw it can hardly remember.

I can predict next weeks article: State of Utah demands Lucas credit God for use of "desert motif" in Tatooine scenes of Star Wars.
that scene in which all the very non-typical-hero boys at ground control had to figure out how to save the astronauts lives with nothing but a bit of knicker elastic and a plastic knife.

Isn't one of the reasons that large companies are able to get patents out faster and more often is the high fees in the first place? Way to squash the little guy.
The important thing here has nothing at all to do with cryptography. The important thing is that some how, some way, Nugget and Co. managed to get 300,000+ people together to do something (semi-)constructive. If this was a parade or a demonstration, it would get national news coverage. However, since these guys are "just a bunch of geeks" there is little fanfare. It passes with relative quiet into the sunset. I would personally like to thank the guys at distributed.net . You guys proved something here and anyone who can't see that it has nothing at all to do with RC5 needs to just move along.

Very flat cells with taut cytoskeletons somehow sense that more cells are needed--to cover a cut, for example. Rounder, cramped cells might sense an overpopulation problem and decide it's time to die and make room for others. In either case, they are responding to a control system in which the shape-shifting cytoskeleton serves as a switching mechanism.
Maybe with this knowledge, more biotechnology could be devised using tensegrity to form the cells into multi-state transistors based on shape and rigidity.
If they can figure out how this effect works, they may be able to recreate a liquid that they can selectively make solid (through electrical discharge, radiation and so on). Think of the theoretical possibilities. Crowd control, insulation, TV game shows.
The prototype drive measures just 5.6 by 3.4 by 0.75cm--suitable for use in portable devices such as digital cameras, handhelds and cell phones--but the company is continuing to work to shrink the drive.
Two things :
(1) Make excellent conversation recorders once the recording devices get small enough.
(2) Now I can set my cell phone ringer to say : "Excuse me sir, but you have a phone call." in CD-quality butler-style.WAV action.

From the article :
"It has to be an extraordinary engineering feat to go up a 40-degree, 200-foot shaft"
Almost as extraordinary as a 4000+ year old civilization creating such a passage.

Actually the reward-offering site says:
"The whole project is divided into two sub-projects, the first one consisting of four tasks.
Project A: Porting Linux to a modified Xbox:"
And that part is worth $100k.
If I recall correctly wasn't some Anonymous Coward running a $250k award to the first group to get this done?
