which is pretty hefty evidence, but watch sceptics find a way to discard it along with the overwhelming mountain of evidence extra terrestrial life has come here. What evidence?
Bruce Schneier's recommendation for this situation is that your company have a secure VPN in place so that once you're across the border you can connect to the office and download any sensitive material you need. Before you return, VPN in again and upload your work back to the office so that the laptop is clean as a whistle when it goes through customs. But how do you stop customs cloning the VPN key at the border?
I've said it before; trade secrets will be the most important aspect of this (whether or not they should be is of minor importance); especially for foreign business travelers, since American intelligence agencies have shown themselves time and again incapable to contain themselves when it comes to passing around business secrets to local competitors. The secret you are carrying might actually be US government IP, which you are just not allowed to show to the people at the border, even though they work for the same organisation.
The time is coming that using a 'throw away' laptop will be needed for all foreign trips. Everyone will need a server in some 'safe' country to upload everything to, documents and pictures will be needed to be uploaded to Google Docs and Picasa respectively. Any pictures, or letters that were on the laptop will need to be deep erased. But to access your information store with any decent level of security you still need to carry a secret across a border. If the secret is a GPG key they can still try to get the passphrase off you, then when you access your data they can intercept the data stream and decrypt it.
Interesting theory, but I have to wonder about the competence of a security team that DIDN'T bother to get the flight schedules for any nearby airports. There was a story some time ago about a traffic cop who pointed a laser speed gun at an FA/18 Hornet and triggered an automated response from onboard systems. Fortunately the actual missile which gets sent in response was not activated and didn't fire.
The systems on the fighter were designed with the assumption that any person illuminating it with a laser is hostile. Of course other possibilities exist but dealing with that contingency doesn't contribute to the safety of the aircraft.
has anyone even tried sieving the stuff before? No. But I thought they could have done better than spreading a mountain of the stuff over the oven lids when they only needed a few grains. They have contaminated the other ovens.

Ubuntu Eee Goes Gold

I am more than impressed at what ASUS has done with Xandros on the Eee PC. The quick startup is absolutely fantastic. Few other linux distributions seem to go to that amount of effort to get it running and usable so quickly.
Ubuntu on my HP laptop bogs down too much when running indexing programs. It is naturally a very heavy distribution, so I am sceptical about the eee specific build.
Since 2003, while the RIAA has been filing 28,000 lawsuits, the percentage of US Internet users using P2P for downloading music has dropped from 20% to 19% So the actual number has doubled or something, and the percentage might have gone from 20.1 to 19.9 depending on how it is rounded.
Really though, what (in the background radiation) would point to no time before the big bang? From TFA:
Detailed measurements made by the satellite have shown that the fluctuations in the microwave background are about 10% stronger on one side of the sky than those on the other.
Sean Carroll conceded that this might just be a coincidence, but pointed out that a natural explanation for this discrepancy would be if it represented a structure inherited from our universe's parent. They are saying that our universe started on the edge of something, which is why the CMB is not symmetrical.
That was back when people would see your email address on your business card and say "what's that?". And when you told them, they'd say "oh you nerds can talk to each other, how cute". About 10 years ago I tried to use a DIY business card machine at a shopping centre. It didn't have an @ character so I had to write "at".
...and the last, just up the road from Carlton is by far the best place I have found to live in Melbourne. I am just glad I can afford it now.
The inner north of Melbourne actually does have a good balance between ultra low density car dependant suburbia (Croydon) and ultra high density living (St Kilda). I don't know why you think Carlton is a bad place to live.

They are known to drop from the trees and surprise foreigners with deadly force. Looks like the mods today skipped biology Let me tell you about the Australian hoopsnake.
I work and have always lived in Melbourne. I have never met or heard of a technically competent recruiter. They don't exist.
The company I work for is always hiring. Qualified staff are very hard to find. The fact that so many of them have a hard time getting past the recruitment agency probably doesn't help.
Let me know if you want a job. I get a finders bonus as well.

I don't think this method is more than a stopgap.

We don't yet know what caused the crash of the Boeing 777 BA038 crash at Heathrow in january but this post on the reg makes an interesting suggestion.

Good point
Well you could centrifuge it to enhance the effect, but I wonder if that would answer the wrong question?
Some microcomputers from that era (Z80 and 6502 based) used the CPU reset as a normal key to jump back to the main prompt.

Seriously. We have a big demand for people who can do real time java, C and Ada on *nix. Its in a central location in Melbourne.
We do get a lot of people coming over from Adelaide.
