I'm with you on that. Knowing that someone famous in the Linux community could be murderer. It's like a punch to the face. I guess I spend so much time building up these people, putting them on a pedestal and then read something like this. I don't know what to think. It's insane.
What happens when the networks through their weight around in the government and make it law that all televisions have this technology in it? Oh well, TV mostly sucked anyway. I will miss the history channel, though.
I found this out first hand. I work at UPS in one of the sorting hubs (we get a lot of stuff from amazon and other online retailers). We were gearing up for Monday (when a lot of stuff was suppose to ship and get to us) and we didn't get too busy. Busier than normal but no where near the hype.
I believe it, my brother was killed by a D&D playing maniac. He cast Phantasmal Killer on my brother and all I could do was stand by and watch helplessly as my brother failed his will save (disbelief) DC 18.

"There would be horror stories in the popular press, like there are for identity theft."
And I suppose broadcasting unencrypted credit card numbers, names, passwords, etc... within a 100 meter radius over an easily accessible wireless standered doesn't contribute to identity theft at all? The people whos network had the SSID changed were probably pissed but I would bet they would be more pissed if someone stole their credit card number (via unsecure network) and went on a shopping spree.
Better graphics doesn't necessarily translate into more bandwidth usage. Half-life 2 actually uses less bandwidth than Half-life. I think we can all agree that Half-life 2 has significantly better graphics than Half-life.
Nothing is ever 100% secure. This will just add one more step to crack and possible decrease the chance that important data could be stolen. That is what every security principle has been about.

I agree. Personally, I think we should just nuke Xena so that the planet debate doesn't come up.
That's it, I'm switching back to the Commodore 128 I got laying around in my room. That's right, TWICE as much ram as your commodore 64.
I am embarassed for my whole state...

Don't the eMule servers keep logs?
I think us technical people need our own website like Customers suck to post all our stupid customer stories, like this one.

I think we can all agree that we need more video games that involve saving the world through dance (alongside Michael Jackson no less).
I think that music WOULD blow up my computer if I pirated it (or I would to exorcise that shit off my computer).

I shall dub this procedure as "War-Sitting".
