coderman: "So, databases "inside its stores" and the web site didn't get penetrated. That leaves, uh, POS devices, and....dare I say it...wireless? If we find out that they got p0wned via wireless (a la Lowes, back in 2004?) I will fall off my chair."

New Antigravity Solution Could Enable Space Travel Near Speed of Light
posted by coderman at 2006-02-12 17:16

coderman: "On Tuesday, Feb. 14, noted physicist Dr. Franklin Felber will present his new exact solution of Einstein's 90-year-old gravitational field equation to the Space Technology and Applications International Forum (STAIF) in Albuquerque."
coderman: "The solution is the first that accounts for masses moving near the speed of light. Felber's antigravity discovery solves the two greatest engineering challenges to space travel near the speed of light: identifying an energy source capable of producing the acceleration; and limiting stresses on humans and equipment during rapid acceleration."

coderman: "If you want an interesting story - look into why AIM and Trillian just announced an 'encryption' bug that required patches - CALEA anyone?"
coderman: lolz
j_blogs: "The assertion that the feds are tapping the Internet at Sprint NAP (which isn't quite what you said, granted) is silly, since hardly any of the Internet goes through there."
j_blogs: never heard the phrase modus operandi?
