It's Verizon Math! €0.2 per GB would be €1 for every 5GB (€200 TB). Not that we ever check submissions here on /.

Do you want to clarify that a little? ...because if 'whatever purpose' really does imply whatever purpose then you seem to be suggesting that some women are 'actually after' getting raped. I thought we were past the 'she was asking for it' vein of apologism in relation to this sort of thing.

I'm sorry, but less and less unique how? Where are these products that are eroding their marketshare? For the idle home user, perhaps, but they've got the professional (read: people who actually pay for their software) sphere locked down tight. I'm no Adobe fanboy but like it or not you simply cannot do business in the design world without using Adobe products.

It comes to something when your paid-for corporate video pales in post-production value to some 15 year old's 'L33T Battlefield 3 sniper montage!!1'.

Goodbye Adobe? I must have missed all the articles recently where they announced their decision to mothball their industry-standard tools for image manipulation, post-production, print design, web-prototyping and image workflow.

Submission + - How To Make Digital Albums Unique: Generate a New One With Every Download (vice.com)
pigrabbitbear writes: "Despite what the recording industry may say, it doesn’t matter how many times you copy a digital file — nothing about the original is being “stolen” as a result of the duplication. In some ways, it’s great that physical media has given way to digital distribution: Expenses have shrunk to the cost of maintaining a website or allowing a digital marketplace to have a cut of the profits. But if digital files are identical and can be infinitely replicated, how can they still be worth anything? A clever answer has recently come from one electronic music ensemble: Make music that generates differently every time it’s downloaded."
Submission + - Google Working on Password Generator for Chrome (threatpost.com)
Trailrunner7 writes: Google is in the process of developing a tool to help users generate strong passwords for the various and sundry Web sites for which they need to register and authenticate. The password-generator is meant to serve as an interim solution for users while Google and other companies continue to work on widespread deployment of the OpenID standard.
The tool that Google engineers are working on is a fairly simple one. For people who are using the Chrome browser, whenever a site presents them with a field that requires a password, Chrome will display a small key icon, letting the users know that they could allow Chrome to generate a password for them.

Next week on ask slashdot: 'I'm a long-term user of a forum on a domain that the owner is no longer interested in, I've offered to buy from him but instead he's told me he wants to keep it and offered to let me purchase a redirect to my servers instead. I was planning on investing quite a bit of time and money to build up the site and it's brand but I'm worried about him retaining control. Is this a good idea?'
...Well, there's no clean way to ensure the old owner will provide service for your forward to your satisfaction...etc.
Come on, everyone saying 'just keep the old domain' really isn't considering the implications of that for the interested buyer.

New Virus Jumps From Monkeys To Lab Workers 160
sciencehabit writes "It started with a single monkey coming down with pneumonia at the California National Primate Research Center in Davis. Within weeks, 19 monkeys were dead and three humans were sick. Now, a new report confirms that the Davis outbreak was the first known case of an adenovirus jumping from monkeys to humans. The upside: the virus may one day be harnessed as a tool for gene therapy."
Apollo 11 Flag Swatch Goes Unsold At L.A. Auction 120
According to an Associated Press report, a "strip of fabric shorn from the flag planted on the moon by the Apollo 11 astronauts pulled in a top bid of $60000 at a Los Angeles auction, but didn't meet a minimum price so it won't be sold." Another $35,000 would have nabbed it, but — caveat emptor — the strip of fabric under discussion is one that never went to the moon itself, but rather was snipped off before the rest of the flag was stuffed into a tube for the mission.
