I wonder why the summary let us think the CNN article is giving good tips while the real tips are coming from Sky and Telescope's website. It is a waste of time to refer people to the CNN article. Aren't we on a website for nerds or not? Here is the link: http://www.skyandtelescope.com...

Well, the guy didn't claim at any point he is telling the Truth, with a capital T. He is telling what we know today with the knowledge we have and the understanding we have of the physical world. Of course, to a certain extent we have no facts about the early universe (first fraction of a second), however we know how matter behaves at temperatures near these fraction of a second. We know how the cooling affect the matter. We know the universe is cooling, we know about thermodynamics, etc. So, even if it is guesswork, it is pretty much on tracks. You cannot reverse the order like you seem to think, there is no way to link these events in another order.

So, ask him your own question.

Pretty silly argument since it was a MOOC. In fact, I did enrolled into on of the courses of Lewin on MOOC. And frankly, if there was to be a trial, I wish her good luck with her arguments before a real jury. It is just not holding water. They are not living next door to each other. She is in Montpellier, FRANCE and he is in Boston area. They were chatting and/or exchanging emails. There is no diploma attached to this MOOC and hence no power on the hands of Lewin. Granting or not the certificate means nothing. It is unusable to gain access to a university program. And she was not even studying in science anyway.

Yeah! They are poor things incapable to be responsible of what they engage into, in particular if they are 32 years old and adults. So, beware!

First of all, Lewin is guilty of violation of the MIT code of conduct, no doubt. However, we are talking here about adult women. Are they responsible for what they engage into? Shouldn't be assumed, whatever their past and culture? Or do you have to asssume each time you engage a conversation with someone he/she is not responsible for what he/she says? And if it eventually turn into flirt, it will become sexual harassment because the other party can plea it is not her/his culture, etc. Is it she/he responsible for reading these f... email and answering them? And what about her culture when time came to take and send naked pictures of herself? Is it a normal conduct in Algeria? Lewin was an idiot and was framed.

Internet of Things?

WTF! How a 32 years old private English tutor can naively believe sending naked pictures was not involving her into sexual activities? I would consider this as consent, dot period. Perhaps Lewin was infringing the MIT policies, however I would not qualify this as harassment since she, as an adult, decided to go ahead with this from the beginning.

nobody reads the summary, neither the article anymore on /. Perhaps it is time to introduce some pictograms to describe the content of the article or summary to those who are too lazy to read it.

Try reading the article, it says internet via serial port.

Have you read the article, haven't you?

Have you try to read the article? Sometimes it answers your questions and it provides many more details than the title and the summary. You should give it a try.

Not if they keep you on-site while collecting the evidence. The Bluetooth range is pretty long enough to keep you out of reach of the laptop while mirroring the drives.

Exactly, there is ton of things that can be done to wipe out the memory and shutdown an encrypted drive even without destructing the data or even without shutting down the system.
