  1. Re:Throwing away too much information on Close but no Cigar for Netflix Recommender System · · Score: 1

  2. patent typo is a legal loophole on TiVo Awarded Patent For Password You Can't Hack · · Score: 1

    Maybe I'm missing something but it looks like there is an inadvertant loophole in the patent: "If both of the keys are zero (all 0 bits), the drive is placed in locked state. If either key is nonzero, the drive is placed in the locked state." If the keys are zero, the drive is locked. If the keys are non-zero, the drive is locked. Therefore the drive is always locked after reset. Was this intentional? Hmmmm...
