On: 40 Percent of World of Warcraft Players Addicted

From the WoW Terms of Use:

1. Establishment of a World of Warcraft Account. A. You may establish one (1) user account (the "Account") with which to play World of Warcraft by accessing the Service pursuant to the terms, conditions and restrictions contained in this Agreement. In order to establish an Account, you must be a Natural Person, who is the age of majority in the country where you are a citizen.

I'm not sure if Blizzard would give his mother access or just shut down the account, but she could certainly contact Blizzard's Billing and Account Services dept. and find out.

Anyone else use STRIP?

On: Password Security Not Easy

It's a GPL utility for PalmOS that stores your pw list encrypted with 256 bit AES. It's also got a decent password generator, and can do S/Key OTPs. Here's the site.

FL600

On: SpaceShipOne Flight Not as Perfect as it Seemed

A bizjet at 60,000ft would be pretty crazy. Some have service ceilings in the vicinity of 50,000ft, but even that would be pushing it, and the last 10,000 is definitely nontrivial :)

FL600 makes sense in the context of the story, since it's the upper bound of controlled airspace.

Dead horses?
