I tried it with gimp and it worked. Open the image, save at 60% quality, and the VOID is quite visible. Perhaps it's libjpeg's compression they're relying on. (I assume that's what gimp uses; I haven't actually checked.)
However, the method is easily defeated. Open the image, scale it to twice its size, then scale back down to the original size, and save at 60%. No watermark appears.
Here you go: Let's say you want to have sex with Natalie Portman (NP). Up until now, it was generally assumed that meant you had to satisfy three conditions: be rich, handsome, and fascinating. Unfortunately, any one of those would leave out the vast majority of people on this list; satisfying all three (3-SAT) was considered virtually impossible.
But now, Romanov claims that it is sufficient merely to say the mathematical equivalent of "Please" (P). Naturally, people are skeptical.
Funny you should ask. I just happen to have one available. Excellent investment property. Short sale approved. No, those two statements don't contradict each other. Well, all right, they do.
Thinking about it a little more, my guess is that the police just said they deciphered the disks, and the news media interpreted that as "breaking" the encryption.
I doubt seriously they "broke" any encryption. If there were any serious encryption on the disks, it wouldn't be breakable in such a short time period.
More likely, in that case, is that Google just provided them the keys, but they thought it sounded cooler to say they "broke" the encryption.
Excellent idea. We have just instituted a new requirement that all bug reports have to be in iambic pentameter. I expect code quality (KLOC divided by validated bug reports) should soar!

In the U.S. at least, the objective is to increase revenue. Reducing accidents would be nice, but is not required.

I'm sure there must be several photography museums in this world.
I have a picture of one, if that helps.
So do I. Unfortunately, it's on Kodachrome.
No, I'm sorry, it is not correct. Sysadmins don't have lives.
You mean, candy chewing tobacco? That is the most awesome idea I've ever seen posted on Slashdot. "Kids! Now you can chew like a major leaguer!"
We can forgive you for this, but not for how you did on Jeopardy.
Just ask anyone whose systems were infected with Stuxnet - these Brazilian evangelicals are right.

That's the problem. If it were rocket science, they would have got it right.
You've won this round, mods. But I'll be back. And less insightful than ever!
It varies depending on which browser you use. Hint: Chrome gives you the lowest amount.
Ha! I've outsmarted you, then. My comments are never insightful!
You were sending mixed signals. Your button-clicking said "no," but your lack of mashing the keyboard in frustration said "yes."
I suspect the issue is more "Foster's overload" than "information overload."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Steve_Goldberg Even the picture there is kind of disturbing.
So it's fast and cheap, in other words.
Oh, wait, that means I need to fund you.
But then that means it's not such a demented idea after all, and I don't need to fund you!
No, wait, that means .... Ow, my brain hurts. I'll just have to wait until I'm 70 to figure it out.
Or, in my case, why I shouldn't write. Whenever I try to type anything into ed, it simply responds:
posing the question it knows I cannot answer.
Didn't you ever see Brando in his later years? He made the fat Elvis look like the skinny Elvis.
From the users I have seen, the Segway itself seems to be an idiot detector.
It's not tossing a vote (or a table) away. SQL injection attacks have done more for (to) this country than most politicians could ever dream of.
