I can use this technology to find my keys because I use RFID keys to open my front door and start my car. RFID is more secure then most people think, because it can be used in combination with keying in a short security code. RFID can be used in combination with biometrics for an unpresidented level of security. For example, to open my front door my RFID keychain has to be within 10 feet of the door awhile I shit in a special box.
That's still bunk, because if they break the code (or otherwise get to the picture) they have established the criminal intent they need. If they don't, the encryption tools on his computer should not merit criminal intent. To say 'ah ha! between the alegation and the encryption tools he is at this point partially guilty.'
Correct my logic if I'm wrong. My perspective at this point is that they either do or do not have access to the evidence.
Don't worry too much, they still have the original. When the tech comes along they'll do it right and be happy to sell them again. After a little more time they will repackage the first version again as 'classic cut version, the original footing'
Will Microsoft get access to the IBM source code?

IBM Gives SCO the Works

I can't distinguish if I need a tin hat or not, or if this has been brought up ad naseum since years ago.
If microsoft discretely got the IBM source code from SCO, could Microsoft use it as reference to make windows inoperable in a way that sends IBM customers flooding to make calls to IBM tech support?
I'd think Microsoft programmers could torture IBM with access to the source.
Hardware has a slim ~5% profit margin
Windows (i'm guessing here) has a 90% profit margin
Problem:
poor people don't want to pay for crappy windows
Solution:
expect hardware manufactures to produce computers for less to increase the number of units sold, bundle crippled windows and torment the suckers into upgrading after they populate their hardrives.
Exactly. But when I think "Exactly" I know someone smarter that me might be profiling my conclusion and setting a trap..
Don't confuse me with a conspiracy theorist when..

Navy ELF to Be Scrapped
·
· Score: 4, Interesting
Don't confuse me with a conspiracy theorist when I say there's absolutely no reason to conclude the technology is being scraped.
Years ago the military was highly interested in non-lethal weapons that were based on a wide number of bizarre technologies including wretched smells, sonic weapons (that would make you crap your pants, or knock someone over like a 'rubber mattress hit them'), electomagnetic frequences (that cause nausea, sleepiness) and all kinds of other reality-weirder-then-fiction technologies.
Then one day seemingly in the midst of much progress they just dropped the whole thing--the budget went poof.
Since then many of the technologies have been witnessed and it's not really too hard to find info about it on the web.
I picked an example that was more over-the-top sounding then neccesary, however my point is the military's perogative is to keep their cards hidden and have the upper hand. I wish there was a way to say that more matter of factly and still drive in that point.
If microsoft only make 10,000 times what I make a year for them to spend $10,000 would hurt no more than if I spend a $1. $20 million for a building with Bill Gates name plastered on it is no better then if I went and paid $200 to put a tatoo reading "by the grace of icecow" on a highschool homecommming queen's forhead.
then you and your friends could start shooting at it with a BB guns and bottle rockets until the lens cracked or it spirals to doom from structural damage or fire.
it's a good idea where i'm from anyway.
Yeah, I've seen these before like everyone else.
I was hoping to see a big hunting knife so frighten people every time I saved a paper at the school computer lab.
I thought recycling electronics junk just meant they put the harmful heavy metal ridden stuff on ships and dump it off in Asia where yenless moms walk around (barefoot?!)exposing themselves as they bash in monitors to get slighty valuable components they can trade for a small amount of $$. Meanwhile people downstream drink noxious water.
Something like that. Do they have a new way of doing it now?
I guess that's better then filling our landfills. I mean we don't want EverYbody exposed..
The only reason people think so much about the music and movies that have a price tag is because they are heard over and over and over again on public air waves. Up until the mid 80s there was a law that required a percentage of the content that traveled over public air waves to be non-commercial and public.
How much free movie and music content do we see comming over our public air waves? None. It's time to get laws passed that reclaims the publics stake in public airwaves. How about 51% of the airwaves be used for public domain artists and movie makers. It's a good start.
It raises the question why public airwaves are used for commercial use at all. Commercial content can be accessed via the internet. If poor people watch commercial TV because they can't afford broadband that should tell us something about why they are having problems prospering.
Right now I'm picturing a national garage band TV channel run by an administrative mechanisim based on a network of colleges.

The Bush administration said the central role is to pre-emtively combat the homeless, who have high exposure to public places, from being kidnapped and said the technology would better be catagorized as a 'lojack' system rather than a tracking system because the RFID units are randomly and discretely hidden in part of the body. The security level is unmatched; not even the homeless person knows where the RFID is.
In a related story, the Bush administration is offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the hacker who has programed robots to kill homeless people.

The open wireless access induced the man to use the interenet from his car.
Wireless routers clearly should be outlawed

1 Waldo/Hospital 2 Suppository Pills 3 ? 4 Profit!
-place your best 'suppositories' joke here-
The moon isn't dense enough. It's gravity isn't enough sustain an atmosphere. Any implanted atmosphere would waft away into space.
We must mine minerals of the correct density and cart them up the space elevator.
Woo hoo. Finally a purpose for the space elevator.
?
Profit
Because some of the smarter, poorer ones gashed themself $700 for a laptop!

That's how WOZ of Apple got started :)
He made a TV signal scrambler and tricked other people in the room into posing strange ways to get tv signal.
Turned passive TV watching into an external social event.
dumb maybe. couldn't resist writing it out

Inflate some pool rafts and kiddy pools with helium and start crafting some aerodynamics using the principals observed.
type 'pool raft' in google and hit that 'image' tab if you want to start visualizing it.
might be more like helium-raft-parachute photography but hey.
That might just work!
Of course they would have to set up a bluetooth tower every 10 feet or so.

Conspiracy Theory
I'm starting to wonder if 321 Studios is in on an orchestration to usher in new copywrite laws in a controlled manor.
I mean, 321 Studios makes $$ selling their public domain cr#p so the effort would be self-funding to boot
Now adays anything short of a conspiracy is a bad business model.
