i would be too worried that it would get triggered by accident or that someone would pretend to be me and hit the "panic button". i could imagine being on vacation and suddenly being locked out from all my stuff. it's bad enough when my ban

i would be a bit worried about accidental passwords getting into the syslog. i have typed passwords out of habit when they were not required or before a remote system responds only to have the password end up as a bash command. i then have

yes, notifying them is kind. simply not exploiting them is not. it's like saying i'm being kind for not robbing someone.

i agree with you that preserving anonymity is a valid goal. spending 20-30 minutes on the phone is not how one should run something like a whistle-blower's hotline. i don't agree with the idea that you are "...being kind and generous by not

pick up a Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard and a compatible mouse (like the M305) and they can both use the same USB receiver. plus, it's a solar powered wireless keyboard! * you'll need to bind the mouse and keyboard to the same receiver o

it goes without saying that a 17 year old series is more well known than a new game. on the other hand, i have never referred to "The Elder Scrolls" as just "Scrolls". i've called it "Morrowind" or "Oblivion" and i'll probably refer to the

there might not be 17 trillion songs, but you aren't limited to the first 4 words of the song. there might be 100-300 words per song and you can pick your starting word anywhere you like.

as i understand it: 1) the bad guys found a website who's owner had the password as 'password' and set it up to receive phishing scam data. 2) the good guy found the phishing site and using the same 'password' he changed the phishing HTML,

big concert promoters could point to all the flickr pages with pics of their shows from iphones and threaten to sue apple unless apple implements a means to disable taking pics at a concert. this is very similar to the code that allows DVRs

robo calls would be a bad idea. people lose phone numbers when they move or go away to school. an email token is the best solution. if you are in the subset that lost your PSN email account then you can call sony to sort out some other meth

you are probably correct. the article just mentioned the BIOS. i looked around and could not find specific mention of the microcode in the laptop's specs : http://libreplanet.org/wiki/Group:Hardware/Freest#Lemote_Yee... or on Stallman's pa
