  1. Re:Why would it be the mafia? on Russia's Biggest Spammer Brutally Murdered · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Not to mention that the probablity of getting arrested in Russia is far less then in the United States or elsewhere so there's no reason to send in "The Wolf" to clean up the mess. If the spam is still flowing after a couple of weeks we'll know he was made an offer and refused it. If the spam stops I think the baseball bat might be the latest is antispam protection.

  2. Re:Oh yeah, that's why we threw their tea away on British Police Demand Access To Encryption Keys · · Score: 0

    Thank goodness for the 5th admendment, A sneaky lawyer in the states would have no problem proving that giving up the key would be incriminating. I'm sure that the FBI, if they wanted to, could break the encription, it just might take a while. If I had encripted info that would get me 10-20 years I would have no problem taking a fine for refusal to give up my key.

  7. Re:Efficiency is not the point ! on Ethanol More Trouble Than It's Worth? · · Score: 0

    You obvousily don't know how distiling works. Alcohol has a boiling point of 205C so the "beer" must be heated up to 205c to get a high percentage alcohol from the fermented corn. You could you use hydro or nuclear power to run the distillery. Unless you have invented a way of distilling alcohol with out using energy.

  8. Re:History Repeats... on Majority Of Customers Prefer Blu-Ray · · Score: 1, Insightful

    "why would people want to pay a premium for a few more features about 10% higher quality" Where did you get your 10% it's more like 60%. Blue Ray can hold 50Gb and HD-DVD can hold 30Gb. If I were asked in a poll which disk do I prefer a $5 50Gb or a $4 30Gb I would choose the 50Gb disk. Most other features are similar so this is the only real difference.

  10. Re:Regarding the Indymedia incident on Flying the Wiretapped Skies · · Score: 0

    The FBI would need more evidence to get the ip address of the evil Anonymous Coward, then just posting some info on /. Besides the only time the FBI reads /. is when their goofing off at work.

  19. Re:Keylogger on Protecting Your Personal Info While Traveling? · · Score: 3, Funny

    The easiest trick is to pour water in the back of the machine just below the power switch. This is where the key loggers are inserted. The water will short it out. Most key loggers do not have a plastic cover, but just incase, insert a small screwdriver and try to puncture the plastic cover to pour in the water.
