...and will also hide the data unless the window has no others on top of it. That should make it very usable, and speed adoption of security features -- especially among people who need to be able to see the data in two partially overlapping windows at once.
Maybe it's just me, but I can't see how preventing the very thing you need could possibly be considered making it more usable... but then again I guess this *is* Microsoft we're talking about.
This is a tremendous public service Slashdot is providing... by reposting old articles but slightly rewording them, perhaps at least one copy will make it past the filters!
Why is it that the terms "ultra cool", "wearable", and "computing device" always seem reasonable to string together until you actually see someone wearing this stuff, and then you realize it's not?
Call me when you can implant the HUD emitter on the inside of my iris, the input device under the skin of the inside of my forearm, and the speech synthesizer in my earlobe. =)
Please spare us, can people NOT post the requisite "their webserver must have been hosted on one of these" comments that this type of story always brings out like worms after a shower?

You kids have it easy, back in my day we called them "mice" and we moved them across mousepads that were uphill in all directions!
Wait, the FTC has to "buy in" for this to affect phone companies? 90% of my telemarketing calls are from phone companies wanting me to switch to their long distance service! Who wants to start a pool on when this doesn't happen by?
My brother is currently an undergrad at UIUC, and they already enforce bandwidth restrictions, although they don't charge for exceeding them since they literally stop your connection before you can. The cap is for off-campus traffic though; as long as you stay on campus you can move as much data as you want, which makes sense, since it's free.
What he and his friends have done is to set up a distributed network across several dorms and use the slack bandwidth of the members' connections to download/upload from/to the internet, and then use the free campus network to move the data to the desired machine.
In essence the result of this is that instead of 10% of the people taking up 90% of the bandwidth, you get 50%+ of the people taking up their entire quota, with the net result being the same amount of data is still moved.

You had 16 colors? And you're complaining??? I had TWO - orange and black - and I liked it! Btw, I'm 26.
...he was referring to his *parent* post, not *his* post!
Good grief, did you just admit to using Windows? On Slashdot? Are you INSANE?
When I tried to see what he said he didn't even respond! Just gave me a blank page instead.
Don't tell me all nine of you hit up their 56k server and blew it up...
;-)
KIDDING!
Yeah, but going to your dealer is probably cheaper than buying a plane ticket every time you feel like coding.
Of course you don't have moo.la to spare. I registered it 5 minutes ago. Sheesh.
I think the real question is will the pringles can survive 15 g's for 10 seconds?

I'd like for my story submissions to be accepted as much as the next guy, but checking every day for almost two months seems a little excessive...
Actually, in online schools, geeks are the jocks. Term paper due tomorrow? Hmm, what's the Windows remote exploit of the week...
Dude, that wasn't cool. Fred has enough trouble keeping his servers responsive as-is without you adding a slashdotting to his problems. Shame on you!
Next time, you may want to investigate doing something like '#define FOR for' instead of modifying and recompiling your compiler...

The real question is, did they patent this? And if not, will Amazon? :)
I was having a conversion, on the cell phone. And it was like, beep beep beep beep! And then, like, I had broken the law. And I was like... hunh?
So one could literally say that a few bad seeds ruined it for everyone else...

It depends who's doing the thrusting. =)
In other news, it was announced today that after careful study, researchers confirmed that fire is hot and pointy objects hurt.
2.5 is not believed to be vulnerable to this security hole.
Is this along the same lines as "we don't think this will kill you"?
