Nothing new to see here. People have been doing touch interfaces with AVR and other microcontrollers long before and have used a variety of conductive materials for that (copper traces, aluminium, very thin graphite on glass etc.).

This story boils down to: Look Ma, we bought a can of graphite spray and connected it to some touch-sensor interface likes thousands have done before us.

Logic Pro is also Mac-only (no wonder as it was created by Apple) and has still lots of fans and users.

DRM does not work. There will always be a way around it.

But then your 3-digit UID would be worthless!

Isn't it already worthless now? Seriously.

Many banks in Germany have changed this now because many of these card readers had been modified for skimming purposes in the past. So our banks have now upgraded most ATM with antiskimming devices and they either leave the door open or have replaced the card reader with a simple "open doorf" push button.

Also it brings no security (any criminal who wants to enter will be able to present a working card and be it a prepaid credit card just bought at the gas station). I also believe the main reasoning for the requirement of a card to enter the lobby was to keep out homeless people.

Addendum: And really, the "un-holiday party mix" is nearly on-par with some of the electronic shit popular these days. Rerecord it with better samples and maybe add some effects and nobody would think it is a troll track.

At least his latest album is still available, and you can hear 30 seconds out of 31 seconds of each track here: http://www.7digital.com/artist/kim-jong-deux/release/a-kim-jong-christmas

Maybe I'm crazy but I actually found the music not too bad. It's weird music but it seems to have something...

Oh and here is a speech synthesizer using Web Audio API: http://www.masswerk.at/mespeak/

My favorite example of Web Audio API is Plink: http://labs.dinahmoe.com/plink/

Maybe something like this?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_prison

As the Wikipedia also has that article in swedish, I would assume that this is a concept used in your country as well. I don't really know about details, but for example the german version states (for germany) that the prisoner under this program normally will be released to family on weekends.

This is what they claim. You might remember from the NSA documents that it appears standard procedure to cover the source of information by creating a plausible lie.

Of course they would never tell if they have enough metadata and surveillance to identify Tor users and hidden sites. It would be in their interest to keep us using a network they can penetrate.

can the government force you to lie and state that you haven't been contacted when you actually have

As we should have learned, the government by large does not care if they "can" (in a legally sense), they just do it. But if necessary: Those rubber stamp courts will surely find a way to make it happen in a way which is legal on paper.

I believe that most of the stuff on H Online is also available through the newsticker of Heise (http://www.heise.de/newsticker) in German. Which should not be such a surprise considering that H Online is/was operated by Heise (their UK part in this case) as well.

Heise is the publisher who publishes for example the well respected computer magazine c't in Germany.

If you can see debian-multimedia.org line in output, you should remove all the lines including it.

Nonsense. Many still working mirrors have "debian-multimedia.org" in the path name, e.g. http://debian.netcologne.de/debian-multimedia.org

Instead of using some custom two-factor authentication which is bound to a specific phone, they should use TOTP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-time_Password_Algorithm). Then the same shared secret could be configured into several token generators (e.g. Google Authenticator on Android).

TOTP seems to become the standard for two-factor authentication, given that both Facebook and Google use this (Facebook provides its own limited code generator with their App) and also quite a few other significant services (e.g. Dropbox, Amazon AWS).

Google also provides a pam module for TOTP which allows one to setup TOTP for own services. I tried that yesterday: Installed the PAM module and added a key into Google Authenticator. Result: TOTP secured SSH login (by using normal account password with the token appended). TOTP support can also be added to non-PAM capable applications, for example a TOTP extension for Mediawiki exists. I tried that one as well and it is working great.

Google Authenticator App allows one to configure more than one account, so you can secure different services with TOTP and still have one central token generator App.
