Also, they totally botched the definition of PUE - a PUE score of 1.2 means that for every 1.2 watts delivered to the data center, 1 watt of it goes directly into powering the equipment itself and is not maintenance money, like UPSs, cooling, battery backups, etc. So ~83% of power going in is used directly for the IT equipment itself. That's fantastic; the typical data center runs about 2.5 PUE.
The writer, who used a pseudonym, claimed he easily broke into the accounts using a program that captures computer keystrokes.
Thnk about it for a second. You don't install a keylogger on a server and then capture logins from students from remote machines... the keyloggers were installed on the students' laptops. This is NOT "hacking" or "cracking" the university's computers. He installed keyloggers on up to 37 other students' laptops to capture their login info.
Not so. The University I go to has a number of library and lab machines that people log in to all the time. He easily could have done that, and I'm sure he did - installing keyloggers on laptops is a much more difficult task and is not "hacking", it's simply being a dick and definitely illegal.
However, there is NOTHING in the article to suggest that's what happened.
It's a simple case of a guy figuring out how to install a keylogger and how to read swipe cards. That's it. It says nowhere that he accessed their accounts or did anything past getting their account usernames and passwords.
One of the greatest earplugs I know of are here - http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/er20.aspx - the Etymotic ER-20's. I've heard nothing but great things about them on head-fi, the super audiophile site. I've been putting off getting a pair for almost a year now, though. I figure if I'm off to any concerts in the near future, I'm getting them.
I once wore my Shure E2c's at a concert because it was so loud. I got a few funny looks, but my ears were okay.:D
Who the hell would say that "Gaming" is an important attribute in their first car? That's like saying that "aerodynamics" is an important attribute of your next video game.
You live in Manitowoc, no? I admit the broadband situation could be better around here. But comcast is offering fast 3mbs service now, and sbc is getting really cheap. On top of that, mercury.net's wireless service reaches most of the city, with 1.5 mbs for around $30...
Problem: It runs on every platform. You just need to look harder. It's completely open-source, which means that tools have been written for linux and mac. NDBM and Sourne are great multi-platform tools for the Neuros.

So the firefox community has "stepped down" to the level of reporting a download count. Does anyone else think this is much ado about nothing?

id Software has done it again... bringing the gunz to the REAL front!

But yeah, LSOL sucks.
That's the last time I use old science magazines to start a fire...
Slashdotted. Getting really slow. By the way, the forza motorsport part starts at about 71 minutes.
I wish they'd stop developing new, useless BS out at Microsoft and get to work on bug fixes.
