You make a good point. The most effective form of hacking is often social engineering. In this case, however, I am glad the code was broken but I doubt suitcases of Euros would have done the trick
I like writing code in Java, and I have to test how well it runs on different operating systems. This looks like it should allow me to do this while actually evaluating the performance without an emulator getting slowing everything down.
Silly me, I thought that the word news contained the word new, meaning that it isn't news if it isn't new. I am glad that a team of scientists was able to study this coorelation.
One of my professors had a pretty high opinion of Wikipedia until I showed her that a date for a major treaty was off by decades and had been that way for weeks.
Another reason that it should never be used in a research paper is that the author can simply write whatever he wants and include it. Even if it is edited again later, the writer can still cite the time that it really did say what he quoted and use it.
From TFA: "The OpenDNS system, which will open its servers to the public Monday, wants to be a more user-friendly name resolution service than those provided by ISPs, with technology to keep fraudulent sites out of its listings, correct some typos and help browsers look up web pages faster.
These are such lofty claims that I doubt they will be able to live up to them. I like the idea that competitive services will appear, but if that happens I believe that OpenDNS will be a big loser.
They can also run Writely or for that matter they can connect to remote desktops on other computers and run full versions of Microsoft Office. People want native software because it is generally better than using a website.
Too bad that they are not telling people that they are using default encryption. Well, too bad for the network owners. Good for war drivers. Anyway, a list of default user names and passwords can circumvent a lot of "protected" networks.
Fluid dynamics, for example, need very fast interconnects for processing, so gigE probably would not work too well. SETI@home type projects can deal with huge latency because of the nature of the problems they are solving.
I cannot disagree with you more. In the business world, e-mail is a vital means of communication. I have been told to e-mail requests and such to people instead of calling or meeting in person because it leaves more of a paper trail.
When at home, GMail picks up almost all of my spam. Since I started posting more on/. with my e-mail address exposed, maybe one piece of spam has gotten to my inbox per day, which I easily delete. (Aside: I realize that I can hide my addy, but I like people to be able to contact me if they want to.) While I agree that e-mail is beng misused and that RSS feeds can be very handy, e-mail is anything but a "dying technology."
"Sadly if this does take off and companies start saving money by doing this the oil companies will just raise the cost of fuel sold for large ships to make up the difference."
So you're telling me that as demand decreases and supply remains constant, price increases? I think an econ professor's head just asploded.
Seriously, though, I really do hope that this becomes a common technology. I oversee some aspects of a domestic supply chain, and you would be surprised to know how much money is spent geting stuff where it needs to go. Granted, containerization and bulk shipments help reduce overhead, but it still adds up. Cheaper transport leads to cheaper prices for the consumer (or slower price increases, as the case may be). There are two different ways of adding sails to ships, both of which are shown in the link. One involves a giant kite to use faster winds at high altitude (primarily featured in TFA). The other has been in limited use for several years and uses hard square sails that open and close like window blinds.
Since I am a rising sophomore in college, I can clearly recall my not-so-fond high school experience. Students who take too long to sign get in trouble with their teachers, counselors, and the administration. They are also put on restriction and cannot use school computers and other things until they sign.
Students also sign an agreement at the begining of the year that they agree to the terms of their student handbook. I am sure that this agreement explicitly covers this mobile phone reading.

When did they stop calling this Social Engineering?

There's more than one reason they call their training plane the "Vomit Comet."
You can calculate all of the money you saved compared to buying Quicken!
The closest thing that we currently have in America are our beloved bulk membership warehouses. Oh Sam's Club, where would I be without you?

I would like to think that any implementation of this technology would increase the battery life of my laptop and make things a little bit faster.
You touch on a good point. Will this thing actually work? This device has amazing promise, but it will all come down to implementaion.

Doesn't Microsoft already do this in IE?

I'm surprised that Maximum PC doesn't already!

I do not find the interface too be that bad, but I understand why people prefer other programs.

I am sure that this specific school uses an agreement that does give them that right.

I do realize that there are international /. readers, but some of the early comments were specific to the USA.
I was wondering the same thing. Hopefully the isolation sphere or whatever contains the experiement contains large mass that is evenly distributed.
