Does this mean that the ransomware is protected by the DMCA, so by releasing this decryption tool, the researchers are circumventing the DRM protections put in place to secure the data? I realize it's during the commision of a crime, but nonetheless, is the ransomware protected?
I completely agree with you except one problem with your logic. People, for centuries, spent hours a day looking down at their desks before these new-fangled computer monitors let us look levelly.
Have a good day though, and I love the anti-touchscreen, pro-mouse/keyboard sentiment!

This should give anyone a good look into the way humanity works, and you can truly look past any libertarian, communist, or religious. Lots of thinking and perspective. I've omitted many others have already suggested.
Combustion of Hydrogen Creates Water. The hydrogen reacts quite powerfully and rapidly with the oxidizing agent (in this case, Oxygen) and creates water. If that harms the atmosphere in any way, I'd be quite surprised.
As a pedantic engineer, I beg to differ. A frequency can very much resonate, just not the way you're thinking. Ever seen any scary movie from before 1980?
I'll be that pedantic grammar slashdotter, but it's actually "incorrectly." Wrongly denotes more along the lines of the subject being incorrect, rather than the action being taken. Hence, incorrectly.
So let's see, there are a few holes in your argument. I don't think your environmentalist point of view is necessarily wrong, but some of the evidence you provide is flawed.
Food for thought (pun intended), but I'm not challenging your goals, just want you to be more informed in your arguments or you make yourself and any others that hold your views look bad.
Reading earlier in the thread, someone suggested that if neutrinos are really tachyons, then they have negative mass. The only thing that would make them go SLOWER would be to add energy to them. In a supernova, I would suspect an immense amount of energy, necessitating them appearing very close to the speed of light, whereas ones with no relative energy added would have speeds measurably faster than the speed of light.
Go look up progressive fair taxes.... you know... tax the car that costs 500$ proportional to how insanely expensive it is... let's say the tax on it is $1m even. And then let
s not tax food/shelter/clothing any. That way, the less you spend on non-essentials, the more you save... so if you WANTED to save up for the 500k$ car, you could, just by not paying taxes anywhere else. In the end, for the system, its the same even if you save for 5 years, because you'll pay more in taxes for the more expensive items later on.

Go read about the poincare disk and non-euclidean geometries... spherically-shaped universes which work similarly to general relativity (curvature of space-time, think about that statement) which means that the closer to the edge you get, the harder it is to get there, similar to the faster you go the harder it to accelerate. Basically, the edge of the universe is a limit in the mathematical sense, as well as the physical one, such that as you approach it, it becomes increasingly harder to hit it. This means that your distance relative to a certain point distant will approach a constant value, isn't that the definition of a wall? (even if you cant see it)
Last I checked, Hawaii was more southern than Florida, however, it's much farther away relative to the continental US. Unless, of course, the island has shifted northerly (a direction isn't supposedly NOT moving).
As a former competitor at the world-level in first person shooters, perhaps my cortex has adapted differently, because when I stare at the dots in the center, I can always tell that the shape or hue or brightness are changing. I can tell when they change and how they change. I can see how in many ways this might be true for 99.99% of the population, but when you spend man-years staring at stationary dots in the center of a screen (crosshair) while "looking around" in-game waiting to notice single-pixel changes out of the ordinary, maybe you learn to notice it?
According to my history professor from a year ago, the proclamation freed exactly zero slaves in the union. My government professor agreed. It seems that they wouldn't relinquish control of their PROPERTY without recompense, hence the reason the south seceded in the first place.
Then again, I prefer to call it the war of northern aggression and feel that the states had the right to secede. Oh well....
Slashdot Mirror
There are places in the US that still give out free land. You don't have to pay rent, go make a living out there?
But don't you measure them if you're writing studies like these?
No! Please do! I encourage as many average Americans as possible to hunt dangerous animals while drink, and also drive without seatbelts on!

The next column in the database was probably the key for the RC4 cypher. Which was probably an MD5 hash of the original data, no less.

Not enough.

I've got post-it notes on my desk older than this thing. Still havent called mom.
But isn't she just upstairs?
For a moment there I expected you to use the word Maverick.

It's important you realize that the majority of photosynthesis doesn't include trees, see for example algaes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_sink
Additionally, our cars are not even a blip on the global scale for carbon output: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1229857/How-16-ships-create-pollution-cars-world.html
Furthermore, while it isn't on a global scale, we've basically stopped having a negative impact on forest sizes here in the US for a while: http://www.wendmag.com/greenery/2011/02/the-u-s-has-more-trees-now-than-100-years-ago/
Next, many of the sources of greenhouse gases are unrelated to burning things, and just normal biological processes which are involved in food PRODUCTION: http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/life/zoology/mammals/methane-cow.htm

We bought out the last 15 from IBM's stockpile a few years ago and now everyone at the office is using one. It's spectacular.
Yes.
