Looks like a more polished version of LED-POV displays that many people have gotten to work already.

The arguments he makes regarding Netgear's binary blob can also be made about VIA's famous on-again off-again open-source stance. Where are the complete documentation for their Chrome chipsets?

"Apparently they either did not do that, or they chose to ignore the values/rules by which this community works" ... hmm, VIA does this all the time.

"or they had somebody with limited understanding to advise them" ... and I thought Welte was supposed to advise VIA on Open Source?

"If anyone has a relationship with Netgear and contacts to the product manager responsible for this product" ... people have been contacting Welte forever. Did anything positive come out of it?

"Netgear, you can do much better than that!". Right, VIA can't, yet Netgear can ...

Dr. Rush: should learn to submit the hysterical Chloe, maybe learn a choke hold or two.

Matthew Scott: I see we're going to have several episodes of him goofing things up ... sigh.

Eli Wallace: "The holographic doctor", without the humor.

Ronald Greer: somebody please blow this homicidal maniac out the airlock already, before he blows up the ship.

Look, they are just looking for easy targets. I seriously do not expect border patrol to be able to find encrypted partitions hidden in SDHC cards inside a camcorder, or in mini SDHC cards inside cell phones. My phone, for example, has mini SDHC that boots to Linux. I would be very surprised if they actually notice that, or if they even bother to look beyond the Windows Mobile interface.

My laptop has two separate partitions, and they are both encrypted: one with CyberArmor, and the other with LUKS. They're going to need to have me present to type in the password. The Windows partition requires my fingerprint to log me in. How are they going to access it without me being present?

I also carry around SDHC card formatted with JFFS2 with ARM stuff in there (it's for development). How on earth are they going to look inside it without an ARM board?

I'm probably going to enjoy telling them the things they miss, if I had time :-)

They're gonna need a LOT of pigeons.

+5 would laugh again

It appears the EULA requires you to wear this gizmo on your head where, after the requisite time period has passed, it zaps your brain with Amnesiatron (TM) particles to make sure you forget the message, thereby fullfilling the design goal of making the message vanish forever.

Oh and the computer will be equipped with C4 that will be triggered at the same time, just in case you happen to take a screenshot.

You don't want to know what will happen to the ISP...

Just because someone puts up a "stay back 300 feet, not responsible for shit I drop on the road" does not mean that the sign is binding. Same with this light lane thing.

Ah, going back and re-reading the actual text this time I realized it said the floppy was probably used to save images.

They sure don't make 'em like they used to. None of my 3.5" floppies would survive more than a couple of formats, and I'd be lucky to be able to read them on more than, what, 3 or 4 different machines.
