Obviously for those 16,000, closing the leak doesn't do much good. But, assuming more than 16,000 people live in South Carolina:), there are certainly some horses still in the barn to be protected.
Due to a well-placed line-break, I saw in the summary:
"the shortened sleep effect was replicated in mouse and fruit."
That really had me wondering how on Earth they tested this.
Except they had been calling for 2 weeks to nothing but a busy signal
Ah, he's probably been dialing into some BBSes, playing TW2002 or something. I remember keeping our phone line busy for very long stretches of time playing door games. Or maybe he's playing world of warcraft over dial-up. You have to turn off call waiting, or things get screwed up. Just wait, he'll get back to them in a month or two.
woah... courtesy? You must be new here. You were supposed to say "Why don't you RTFA, you mouth-breathing buffoon." I realize that it's Bruce Perens you were responding to, but this is Slashdot. We have standards here!
Actually, according to this site, the telephone sanitizers didn't clean telephones at all. I guess "telephone sanitizer" sounds better than "crapper cleaner."
Sure, but they won't know if they data they guessed is right. If they guess the password correctly, it successfully decrypts the data, and you know it was right.
You encrypt it, and someone can still potentially get it, even if the probability is miniscule. Maybe the algorithm is discovered to be flawed, or they see you type your password, or they install a hardware key-logger, or while it would theoretically take thousands of years to brute force it, random chance has them guess the right sequence on the first try (it could happen). You wipe the data though, and there is no chance for anyone to get it.
Encrypting it is definitely a good idea, but not as a replacement for wiping it.
Why should the alteration of an image, even to a repugnant end, be illegal? I wonder if it's because it creates a market, or expresses demand for the real thing. People may be more likely to force the real thing upon children because they can see that people are willing to pay for fakes. Better to try to eliminate the whole market, real or faked, so that there is less incentive for creating it for real. Just a thought.
If you RTFM, you'll see that it is described as "four nearly seamless and sharp screens", and "You can see the seams between this monitor's four segments, but the Alienware humanoids tell us that flaw will be gone by the time this craft lands on Earth." So yeah, I think that was noticed.
you lose depth perception. ...you caught the part where it's all ASCII, right? Is depth perception seriously a concern?
Nice gimmick, though. If displaying the world in ASCII is a gimmick, they really need to fire their marketing department.
He might breed Didn't you just read the article? (I know, I know. I must be new here.) I'd say the chances are comfortingly slim of him ever having the opportunity.

Ah, so, preview. That's helpful, I hear.

I know, right? We're pretty awesome. Everyone knows about us!
Haha! You must have been visiting a pirated version of the site. The legitimate one behaves correctly. Gotcha!
The summary seems to end abruptly and the article.
Racism is more common than 'Lamborghinism', so it gets more attention. But it's the same phenomenon
And I'll tell you from experience, it hurts just as much. Don't hate me just because I drive a nicer car than you!
Why gaming would make someone depressed makes zero sense to me
correlation != causation

I'm hoping they'll make a web-based version of firefox to run within Chrome. That way, no matter where I am, I can connect to and use my web browser.

To each his own, I guess.
