"p.s. the sidebar isn't 'bypassed', the key is cut to pass it in the normal way."
I was referring to the destructive entry bypass that was barely alluded to in TFA, sorry. The problem with uninformed comments here is Marc T. and Tobias B's policy of "responsible disclosure," which ensures that no one on Slashdot has the slightest clue what they're talking about. That's no different from normal, I guess.
"I can duplicate a Medeco key blank with a piece of brass stock and a dremel tool, then cut a perfect key from a photocopy using my HPC Blitz."
So?
Joe Crook can cut a Medeco bitting key out of an old grocery store coupon card and bypass the sidebar and slider in a few seconds without any need for a key machine or any particular skill. That's what the exploit is all about.
"The franchise really depends on me coming up with a good idea."
George Lucas hasn't had a good idea since about 1982. Well, I guess not passing the fedora to Shia LaBeouf would be a good idea if Lucas had given the correct reason for it: Shia can't act.
Seeing as how it was posted on Slashdot, I'm shocked it wasn't "Potentially BILLIONS of victims who didn't even know they had a computer" (complete with "idtheft" and "MAFIAA" tags from the 80% of posters who didn't RTFA).
"They, members of a federal agency, through deceit or misrepresentation, took city property."
If you *had* read the fucking article, you would know that it said nothing about either deceit or misrepresentation. I'm not sure how that can be a non sequitur when it's clear you're basing your argument on the summary, which I already noted is incorrect.
So to recap, the House votes to adjourn, they adjourn, and some moron aides think it would be funny to cut the power while Boner and his pals decide they didn't like the outcome of the vote.
"Your honor, my client did not feel comfortable giving sensitive system passwords to idiots. I'd like to enter prosecution's boneheaded public filing as Exhibit A."

When tax money funds my server and connection, I'll let people who disagree with me guest-post in my Slashdot trolling.
Until then, fuck those guys.
Old news for nerds. Stuff from last week. (tm)
Check eBay. Though now that everyone wants to break them, prices will probably be going way up due to higher demand.

No, GP's post was very interesting. If a 3D scanner-fab unit churned out a copy, the plug could be easily turned with a tension wrench.

Why does it matter in the slightest? This isn't ZOMGFLAIMBATE, I'm honestly puzzled.

Oooh, tough break. Better luck on 09/09/09.
After 2012, do you numerology kooks need to switch to a Mayan calendar or what?

"yes, I did need both laptops."
I didn't even know you could connect to the WoW servers from 30,000 feet. Technology is awesome!
Aha, I see your government is weak on terrorism!

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess you didn't read the fucking article.

I'll be first in line to tell the FBI to come back with a warrant, but don't blame them for the library director's stupidity.
"The 08-08-08 is the day to send our best wishes that this information may find its way out to the street. For good."
Oh noez! Random strings of made-up numbers that converge to resemble one another! Dumb fuck.
Martians did 9/11. Better invade them space terrists afore it's too late.
"Silly? Like, as in, 'The Department of Energy's number' silly?
Those liberal bastards, making up numbers out of thin air!@

Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.
It turns out 4chan isn't the internet. The reporter trolled NYT.
"Your honor, my client did not feel comfortable giving sensitive system passwords to idiots. I'd like to enter prosecution's boneheaded public filing as Exhibit A."
"[...] described the beings as 'little people who look strange to us.'"
Well I'm fucking sold.
Now the troll can point his friends to Slashdot and say "that article's about me!"
And you all laughed at me when I suggested the death penalty for this guy.
"The aide was 'informally reprimanded.'"
Translation: "Dammit, Nigel, keep it in your bloody shorts next time!"
