Basically the probe was designed to impact on the surface, after being slowed by the parachutes. The underside of the probe was capable and designed to impact hard. However, what appears to have happend is that the impact was side on, hitting where the probe wasn't designed to be hit, and doing fatial damage.
...and now the probe is too shy to show its now deformed features.
I think you're much less likely to get hit by a keylogger running Linux than Windows, and that you're 100% less likely to get infected by this keylogger. Linux isn't perfect, but the more people use it the better it gets, unlike Windows which just becomes the target of more hackers and virus writers with no associated increase in bug-fixing.
That depends on the resources of the group behind the attack. If this is an individul importing all the data into a database, then yes, it would be nearly impossible for them to make any real headway. If, however, it is a government faction running a pseudo-AI program to sift out useless data before passing it onto a few hundred minimum-wage key pounders, then very large scale breaches are not only possible, but likely.
Of course, the programming errors alluded to in the summary suggest the former over the latter, but even so we need to consider the possibilities of a well-funded group using a virus like this to hold large companies to randsom or just to disrupt the internet.
Should help drive people to Linux though, so there is a good side.
'fraid the laws of physics are against you on this one. The light simply won't reflect if the bends are too sharp. Different materials can allow slightly sharper bends, but nothing like you can have with CAT5.
That's pretty much what anaroK's dynamic mode is trying to do. You pick one track, and it creates a playlist based on the songs you play most, similiar tracks, similiar tempo etc. It's a very useful feature, and although perhaps not quite the same thing as this new invention it is a useful alternative to shuffle mode
'Unlimited' doesn't mean the same thing as infinite. Rather than meaning that there is some sort of never-ending DVD supply chain in their warehouses, it just means that there is no set limit for the number of DVDs you can rent, although obviously it isn't possible to rent an infinite number.
The point isn't that it costs something so much as that it can't be done using only a computer. Spammers are most likely to use free hosts where they can get 1000 accounts in a few seconds with a script; after that come the sites for which they have to type in the letters from a picture. Only once all those are exhausted will the extra effort to post a dollar be justified, and by preventing them from operating thousands of accounts easily, for free and most of all quickly, we would stop a lot of the spam completely.

Leadtek do a VIVO nVidia card, if I remember rightly. Don't think it has a coaxial connector though, but it's a step in the right direction.

Sturgeon's law states that '90% of everything is crud'; what you're thinking of is Zawinski's Law

But eBay and QXL show that there is still some significant advantage in being first.

Hackers can do that? Didn't we learn from Wargames?!?
