Seriously. OK, so a few species will go extinct. But who's to say that some species won't flourish as a result. The ecosystem will be different, but it won't necessarily be worse. The ecosystem will adapt.
It's estimated that approximately 50,000 species of animals become extinct every year. I understand the point you're trying to make, but at such an alarming rate, can the ecosystem keep up with such a significant rate of change?
I'm not a tree-hugger, but people with this kind of attitude frighten me...
Geeze... This is probably the first/. story I've read that ACTUALLY applies to me...
But seriously, I own one of these... In fact, they're pretty popular in my area just because their cheap and sold at Wal-Mart... I don't personally use the password protection because I always felt it was just an extra step and I didn't really need that much security on my Flash Drive anyways...
(It's not like I was storing all of my server's passwords on it or anything..... Honest...)
Thank you @stake and people like you for making sure products are as secure as they say they are...

I'm a little disappointed... I mean, I can understand CNN or NBC or someone like that getting a story before /., but NPR?
*shakes head in shame*
As much as I agree with the parent's comment, only on slashdot would this be modded "insightful" instead of "funny"...
