If I had the points, I would sooo mod you up for that! I'm still giggling - thanks! :D

There could even be a universe where GW is this awesome leader that everyone looks up to and admires, "Ace" Rimmer style!

What I don't get about FAT32 is, if (say) I reverse engineered it and created my own code to read/write it, isn't that totally legal? And fair? And pretty much the same as we've been doing with legacy Office (.doc/.xls) files for years?

So is it that they're claiming some kind of patent on something "special" that FAT32 does? And presumably they couldn't/didn't do the same with Office because everything it does it pretty much just like any other office suite?

Plus, the article states that they only zoom in by a Google squared... presumably because Google set that limit for YouTube.

Maybe it's people connecting USB storage to their routers? I seem to recall there have been security issues regarding routers sharing these devices externally even though they're only supposed to allow local access.

If we're still talking about the officer Michael T. Slager case (I'm so /. hardcore, I don't even read the comments let alone TFA!), then part of the reason he's been charged is because the video shows him placing his Taser beside the victim after he'd been shot.

Not disputing your point about videos not showing the entire context though!

I seem to recall VW improving the repairability of a Golf so that the newer model _should_ have a better insurance group rating. At least, that's what they said.

But at least insurance does provide some way to incentivise manufacturers to improve repairability... in theory anyway. However, I believe cars are increasingly brought on credit with bundled insurance, so maybe that's how they deal with it?

I've not found the PC Mag 2012 best apps listing either, but here's a PC Magazine review of NQ Vault. They seem to be under the impression it provides better security than it actually does. Shame they gave it a relatively nice review despite acknowledging that it's kind of buggy! I note that user-reviews both on the Google Play page and the above PC Mag review mention it loosing their data... which isn't a huge surprise if it's buggy.

Being as it hails from Dallas, I'd assume they tried patenting XOR as a security method and then trolling every equally incompetent "data security" company they could think of before deciding to hack their own one together?!

All fodder for the next series of the X-Files!

Also, only since September? Maybe they mean September 2009 or something?

OMG - What happened next? Was she able to revive the pilot and co-pilot?

Must admit that after complaining about PHP for years, I don't mind it so much now. I think each new PHP release should have the strap-line "PHP x. Less shit than the previous version!", because... it's true!

Like they need it with all the other +1's, but a +1 from me too! Their support is really great.

Microsoft Bingo!
