  1. Watch your garbage. on Secure Data Storage... On Your Fingernails · · Score: 1

    Does this mean that we will need an alternative method for disposing our fingernails, like we do receipts and old paperwork? Trash digging for fingernail clippings is an all new low in data/identify theft. Also very interesting, there's less anonymity when disposing of the fingernail clippings... Better make sure your fingernails are encrypted.

  3. Fuel for OpenSource on Operation Fastlink Nets 1000s in Pirate Sting · · Score: 1

    Their only hope lies in Software Patents. Assuming there is a plan to "eliminate" piracy.

    Less pirating means less money for software companies in the end game, in my opinion.

    It starts with cheaper software due to lack of pirating, and an initial surge in profits, but free Open Source projects will become far more valuable, gain more attention, and benefit from more contributors. Make groups of individual's with few resources desperate, and they need little other motivation.

    Focus more on the next step of the plan, threat of Software Patents, while using their first step to our advantage.
