...to name a few possibilities. That's probably some hypothetical scenario which eludes me which could lead to a legal requirement to have your private encryption keys on file for the government. Inevitably, the database of private keys would be abused and/or stolen.
Agreed. There is nothing new under the sun. Instead of digitizing your own magazines, look for other people who have already done so. Not only won't you ruin your magazines, but chances are those other people did a better job digitizing than you would have. Retromags.com has hundreds of back issues of gaming magazines (none more recent than 2003 to avoid blatant piracy). Downloading requires registration. A free registration limits you to only a few downloads per week, but a $2.50 Paypal "donation" allows (nearly) unlimited downloads for 2 months, which should be enough to grab a digital copy of everything you need. Or you can just Google for "retromags torrent" (unfortunately they are mostly Nintendo Power torrents, and some of the torrents have no seeders).

Put a cover page on it that says "Harry Potter and the Torrents of Azkaban" by JK Rowling. Run it through a document feeder and post it on The Pirate Bay. Wait about ten to twenty hours, then check Wikipedia's plot synopsis. Problem solved!
If I ever witness Noah Bennet murdered by the Cigarette Smoking Man, and then I involuntarily jump through time to 1972 and have to help defend a DHARMA station from giant alien tripods, I'm prepared!
Porn, music/movie sharing... At least, that's pretty much what I did with my 200k of high school provided server storage back in 1987. So you're saying you had ASCII porn and MIDI files. Although you have me stumped on "movies"
There's two extremes to this, ignoring your customer, and letting them run the development, both are bad. The best path is to have some intelligent people in your company that sit in between customers and clients and act as a translation layer. I deal with the god damn customers so the engineers don't have to. I have people skills; I am good at dealing with people. Can't you understand that? What the hell is wrong with you people?
Back in 1993 (all the way until 1998) I had a recurring quirk with my 386SX and Windows 3.1. If I loaded the drivers for my Sound Blaster 2 and enabled 256 colors, I would randomly (about 50% of the time) get a "Divide by zero" error when Windows launched. It would dump me back at the command prompt, where I would continue to type "WIN.COM" until it finally loaded. Once Windows loaded, it was fine until the next reboot. Sometimes it would load on the very first try. This problem survived several reformats of the hard drive, and a couple upgrades of DOS. There was no discernible pattern to when it would occur, so I just tolerated it until I upgraded to a Pentium II in 1998.

I guess the punishment is what his victims want.
Kinky.

Come on, not even I am that cruel.

So, how much Cisco equipment is that? *counting on hands* 1, 2, 3,... eight routers, two Catalysts, and a FastHub.
It was a typo. The submitter misspelled "vulnerable."
I think this shirt is more appropriate.
Not as creepy as an MD5 checksum.
