Withhold Passwords From Your Employer, Go To Jail? 599
ericgoldman writes "Terry Childs was a network engineer in San Francisco, and he was the only employee with passwords to the network. After he was fired, he withheld the passwords from his former employer, preventing his employer from controlling its own network. Recently, a California appeals court upheld his conviction for violating California's computer crime law, including a 4 year jail sentence and $1.5 million of restitution. The ruling (PDF) provides a good cautionary tale for anyone who thinks they can gain leverage over their employer or increase job security by controlling key passwords."

Exploiting Tomorrow's Solar Eclipse To Help Understand Sea Levels 92
mdsolar writes "Tomorrow at dawn on the U.S. East Coast, a partial solar eclipse will rise. Solar eclipses have many uses. They can confirm the Theory of Relativity, allow study of the solar corona, and this week, help prepare for global warming induced sea level rise. The tides induced in the oceans when the Sun and Moon are aligned are particularly high (and low) and give a foretaste of the effects of sea level rise in the coming decades. Maryland's Department of Natural Resources is asking for photos of these King Tides to help with preparation for the effect of sea level rise. Way to get out front, Maryland."

Sony was involved with bribing several media content creators AND player manufacturers to get bluray adopted as a 'standard'. One encrusted with enough patents and other restrictions to leave only a few players in the beginning.

The fuel will be free right up to the point there's a demand then it will go up. Turkey guts, fry oil, etc are no longer cheap or free. Hell I can't even get scrap or chipped wood like I used to from a landscaping company at the low price I was paying. They're selling all their scrap to a company making wood pellets for stoves.
