Digg tried to kill themselves four times. They just got better at it as they went along. Part of their charm was their noobishness. They were known for it. Periodically re-engineering the discussion system to make it worse, presumably to make their noob members feel at home. It was weird and low rent and they finally put themselves out of their misery.
My workplace deals with cleverness like that by sacking people, so I won't be trying it any time soon, and I can move information around with usb keys to my hearts content anyway.
Nothing stops you from base64 encoding it either so simple regex matching would be defeated
With the email filter at one place I sent data to, it had no trouble detecting and decoding base64. The only way I got data through was to encrypt with pgp, ascii armour and strip off the pgp headers and footers.
Thats an interesting question. Say the company installs their own cellular base station. IIRC there was an article recently about shopping centres doing that and using the information they collected to help track shoppers within their building.
Well okay but what happens when a worker googles for information on a task they have to do abd while the actual information they want is generic in nature ("how to compile an android program") for example, they cast the query in such a way that it includes internal information, possibly because they don't even know that the information is internal? For example where I work we are encoraged to google for answers to our clear case problems, rather than bothering the internal consultant. But when you do that there is a risk that you will paste in all of a command or something and leak information.
The shuttle only made sense at high load factors and with good economies of scale. When that didn't happen, the flyback booster was canned, solid boosters and the throwaway ET replaced it. And then every flight was dangerous and expensive.
A guy who lived over the road from me in Melbourne had a job supervising a hostel, for which we was paid with free accomodation. He had welfare payments from the government because of a disability. He used that money to pay for his hobby of motorcycle racing.
Every transaction should be subjected to a randomised delay between 1 and 2 seconds . Problem solved, smart people can start doing something useful again.
One guy on (IIRC) boing boing had a great suggestion about neutrinos. We can now transmit and recieve neutrinos and fire them directly through the Earth. If used to carry data, latency could be reduced by 3.14 (pi). A latency improvement of that magnitude would be important to some people, particularly between America and Europe.
But unfortunately, such a system could not send information back in time.
Maybe liquid methane flows from the poles to the equator and evaporates there. Then gaseous methane flows to the pole through the atmosphere and precipitates out.
I can't do android development on android, so I do it on ubuntu on the eee. For me, android is fine for a phone but it is a long way from being adequate on a laptop.
My 300 AUD eeepc would not be much cheaper without its crap processor but a remote desktop client for android would be really useful, so maybe this will show up as an application for cheap netbooks.

As long as it remains upright.
yup.

You have zero expectation of privacy at work.
Tell that to the women who complain about the cameras I put in the change rooms.

ssh doesn't work to external locations from my workplace but curiously, there is no restriction on DNS traffic ;)

My workplace is pretty open about proxying all https connections and I get the horrors whenever I see a co-worker doing their banking from their desk.
Its the same in the software industry. You make so much money from support that it doesn't pay to make things that last (see my sig).

In some ways I miss the shuttle

Yeah you are right, I was thinking of pi*D
The last time a foreign power tried to operate submarines in sydney harbour it didn't go very well.

Yeah like modelling the random number generator.

Its an interesting question. If you could find fossil oxidisers on Titan, you could run internal combustion engines on methane.
Global warming stops the place from freezing solid. More greenhouse gasses could only improve the situation.
Ubuntu runs fine on this machine. It also runs fine on my son's acer aspire s3.
