Wow... - ttrygve

Holy crap, I had no idea it was even close to anything like that. - ttrygve

What. The. Fuck?! This is pathetic. Embarrassing! Inexcusable! I know people, even security people, are often unaccustomed to thinking in terms of information security. But this is so far beyond the pale, I don't even know what to say. They knew about this for ten years because it was known to have been exploited in Bosnia, and they thought they could just assume nobody would be doing that this time? I don't even have words for how insanely stupid that is! - ttrygve

They need to just grow up and get over themselves, but I know better than to have any optimism there. - ttrygve

Unbelievable... - ttrygve

Wow. A risk of going with the lowest bidder, I suspect. - ttrygve

To which NYC & SF customers are undoubtedly saying "How would we know?!" - ttrygve

More on Biden's copyright summit. "All stakeholders" apparently means those who want to punish consumers for profit, and those who want to punish consumers for polls. Consumer's asking "what about our interests" were obviously excluded, because they're clearly being unreasonable.a - ttrygve

Sigh. This is just shameful. - ttrygve

Oh, how freaking ridiculous! - ttrygve

I'm a bit late to this one, but it's worth sharing nonetheless. While this "Fake Steve Jobs" satirical blog is meant to be funny, the Fake Steve Jobs really does hit the nail on the head here. It's worth reading both for the humor and the points he makes. - ttrygve

God I hate the Olympics... - ttrygve

I can't wait to see what this thing can do, it sounds like a real game changer. - ttrygve

Not that it hasn't already been thoroughly debunked, but impartial confirmation is always a good thing. - ttrygve

If he's not on drugs, then he probably should be. - ttrygve

Pretty much. - ttrygve

You'd think an AG would know better than to be so blunt on an issue like this. What an idiot. - ttrygve

Wow. - ttrygve

Another unfortunate cost of Bush's Iraq war. - ttrygve

It's a no-brainer: kick 'em to the curb. - ttrygve

oooh, shiny! =p - ttrygve

What a horrible story. - ttrygve

Just when I thought they couldn't stoop lower, I'm forced to recognize what a foolish assumption that was. - ttrygve

Boo! - ttrygve

Well that's alarming. I'm afraid to ask where they think the rest are. - ttrygve

Wow - ttrygve

This is so sad, this was a family member of someone Liz went to law school with. - ttrygve

Classy. His wife must be very proud, I'm sure. - ttrygve

Hahaha! - ttrygve

While this sounds very exciting (and I would love to see this confirmed true), this is still just another in a long line of attempts to reconcile relativity with quantum mechanics, and it seems far too early to be celebrating the replacement of relativity just quite yet. But I mostly want to take issue with one quote near the end, where another physicist refers to communicating information faster than the speed of light as "unwanted side effects". Excuse me, but that wouldn't be unwanted, that would be the biggest perk of all, if it turned out to be true! (I know, it's a big if, and that's the problem.) The speed limit set by light dooms us to our own solar system for all practical purposes. The more we learn about the rest of the universe, the more dismaying it is to know that no amount of technological advancement is ever likely to allow us to explore even our nearest stellar neighbors. But if we can start to find ways around the limit of the speed of light, then there's at least... - ttrygve
