It is thought that punishment of petty crimes deters the more violent and dangerous crimes. The reason is that if people see that they can get away with small stuff, they will push the boundaries and see all what else they can get away with. If small crimes are prosecuted, they won't dare try to commit a serious crime.
This has been studied with strict treatment of graffiti artists in NY during the 1980s and 1990s. See this book for more information: http://www.gladwell.com/tippingpoint/index.html
I didn't RTFA, but wouldn't we still have to spend billions every year making the software secure? Apparently its not second nature to naturally write secure code. To me it seems easier to have a handful of security companies than have all software companies doing the same job. Plus a lot of times you can use the same security tools on several different products. For example, a hardware firewall protecting windows machines, linux machines, mac machines, IP cameras, etc, etc.
I think an easy way to fix this would be to randomize the order of the questions on all the ballots. That's probably what they will do except in the video, the ballot only has one question. With multiple random questions, you can't prove what you answered to which question. The only thing you can do is go online and see that individual questions match up.
A while ago when broadband and CD burners weren't too popular, I tried selling burned Linux CDs on eBay for people with dialup. Within a day or two, they pulled my auctions and said "You can't sell burned CDs of any type on eBay."
well that sucks:( I hope they make some sort of agreement where old, already shipped, software doesn't have to be paid for. hey maybe they'll use the money to fuel AT&T Labs:/
Wow it's $3,000 and you have to fax in the order form. I feel like we're back to 1995 when simple electronics costed a ton and everyone used the fax machine. Well I guess this isn't exactly "simple," it's probably one of the coolest displays ever. See here for details.
At my school, we use the CPS RF clickers. The device itself is only around $15. The school pays for the license to use it, so I have no idea how much that is. All the teacher does is plug a receiver into his USB port and start up the software. It has an anonymous mode that doesn't log who responded what. In a class of about 200-300 students, 180 of us had clickers and things moved pretty well. The range was def good enough and the only real bottleneck was when the software had to generate a graph of responses.
This still doesn't do much about the keygen...my buddy's computer still works fine with a keygen key. Also, why can't regular people get this same discount?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I hear GMail uses something where if two users have the same message, it'll only save one copy of it on the servers. If AOL is using this kind of system, it won't hurt them at all to sell the email addresses of people...because their servers will only keep one copy of the message!:)
Maybe we should set up this camera technique. We pretend like we're gonna download the file, stick a light source on the side, and TRICK it into getting a copy of the file! ha!

Depending on if anyone else is out there trying to grab your domain, I guess you can just let it fall and then buy it back through someone else. Or maybe you can try godaddy's back ordering system. This would also depend on if someone else is out there trying to grab it.
Nothing for you to see here. Please move along.
lol, or does slashdot just take a long time to update?
great, i click submit and "The operation timed out while trying to connect to slashdot.org"

I vaguely remember a (PCI?) device doing something similar to this in a Tiger Direct magazine. It was around 1999 or 2000. Does anyone else remember?

Kids would go crazy over this! Put on their "glasses" and cheat straight through the test.

It's actually true. The channels change a heck of a lot faster than regular digital cable/satellite. I know some people who know some people...
Hmm, now what would happen if they get that thing to run on fuel cell? You could just have a huge tank filled with whatever it runs on :D
Yea, the worst will be when the kid witnesses a parent plugging the fish into a wall socket.

man, even mirrordot got slashdotted...thats when you know things are bad
Wait...how do you safely use software?

I suppose this doesn't help if you accidentally gave yourself a counterfeit copy :(
