I remember playing it a few times in the early '70s, late at night, on one of our CDC 6600s. It existed as a 'diagnostic test' on one of the maintenance boot tapes. (It threw the operator's console into graphics mode, so there was no background, play anytime version.)
Remember the Debian SSH debacle? Some guy wanted to stop valgrind's whining about uninitialized memory in the SSL key generator, so he helpfully zeroed the buffer in question. Valgrind stopped complaining, but his fix also reduced the entropy used in key generation down to about nothing. For two years, people were generating very weak key-pairs.
I'm not saying valgrind, etc. are bad, only that sometimes they can be misleading.
I was going to point out that NoScript was near the top of the recommended add-ons page, but now I see that is no longer there at all! You have to search for it. Adblock Plus still tops the list, however.
- Secure key management -encryption keys are born on the device in the Cryptochip and bound to the device - Hard-wired encryption key self-destruct defenses and electromagnetic shielding of the Cryptochip
which I interpret as saying that only the key is wiped, while the actual data remains on the drive. If you've somehow managed to snarf the key before it was wiped, or if you're really cool and can break AES-256, you're good to go.
Yeah. The National Park Service was so pissed off by Adams' blatant ripoffs of their scenery that they sued him, keeping an army of copyright lawyers busy for years, finally forcing him to release all his negatives into the public domain. Oh, wait, instead they named a Wilderness after him and still allow his family to run a gallery/gift shop in Yosemite.
Nearly every photograph Ansel Adams ever took was of a "publicly owned object." Do you really think his photographs are not original work deserving of copyright?
The whole "Canada doesn't value American concepts" thing can have its advantages, however. For example, if you commit a capital crime in one of the United States, flee to Canada. They won't extradite you until that state promises that you won't fry.
Um, I was trying to point out that it is no more correct to assume that the feds acted out of religious zealotry than did Frontline. Sorry. I'll be less subtle next time.
The feds' investigation into net porn began the year after a PBS Frontline documentary on the subject. Now if only we could wrest control of PBS from religious zealots...
While I think equating compulsory IDs to livestock management is a bit over the top, I have to say that your analysis of the political process is dead on.
Did you say DNA records? I can't wait until there's a practical field procedure for generating a DNA profile. Get pulled over for speeding? "Sir, we're going to need some saliva now. Thanks for cooperating."

You can filter by editor. Here.
More experienced members of the team were asking, "Are we sure we can get good pictures of the New Mexico desert from way up there?"
I'd forgotten about that. The interesting story is here.
Tolkien lived until 1973. Should it have gone PD in his lifetime?

Bill Gates is already working on that. Google could send hurricanes his way, and Bill could try to kill them.
I see they used the Micro Focus COBOL compiler, which is not FOSS by a long shot.

I probably should have worded that a bit differently.
But there is some good news. Remember Atlantis' stuck knob? They managed to pull it out by hand a while back.

Is it just me, or does the article read like an Anagran ad for the FR-1000?
Well, now we know for sure that at least one of them is.

I would have gone with "Ranchers Have Beef With Cow Chips"
Last September, in Moo IT Computerworld had a slightly less paranoid version of this story.
You seem angry. Why not go here, uncheck kdawson, and you won't be bothered again.
There was no constitutional issue here. Content owners can just go tell Congress to tweak copyright laws a bit and bingo! All fixed.
