We've been happy with our B-line FlexTray system running in our datacenter. It was easy to install, looks nice, and wasn't terribly expensive.

AKA Gold.
If someone has found a way to hack gold, they have had the good sense to keep quiet about it.

Submission + - Questions to ask before buying a wireless router (blogspot.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Before you start to conquer the best router, take the time to assess your needs. Otherwise, you could buy a much too powerful and expensive router for your needs. Or instead, you could be forced to buy a new one next year because you quickly saturated the capacity of the router. But how to dissect your needs?
Submission + - Opportunity Breaks NASA's 40-Year Roving Record (discovery.com)
astroengine writes: After nine years of hard Mars roving, Mars Exploration Rover (MER) Opportunity has broken a 40-year-old extraterrestrial distance record. On Thursday, the tenacious six-wheeled robot drove 80 meters (263 feet), nudging the total distance traveled since landing on the red planet in 2004 to 35.760 kilometers (22.220 miles). NASA’s previous distance record was held by Apollo 17 astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt when, in December 1972, they drove their Lunar Roving Vehicle 35.744 kilometers (22.210 miles) over the lunar surface. Although it's broken the NASA distance record, it hasn't surpassed the international record, yet. The Soviet Lunokhod 2 remote-controlled moon rover roved 37 kilometers (23 miles) across the lunar surface and, so far, remains the undisputed champion of distance driving on an extraterrestrial surface.

If they were to rule out gene patents in humans, I wonder what that would do to Monsanto and the rest of the GMO industry?

Some mail hosts & websites support using +notation in email addresses (i.e. gmail & google apps). So rather than generating new email addresses for everything, I do something like myemail+webpage@mydomain.com. When you look at who the email was sent to it should repeat this same pattern.

White House Responds to ET/UFO Petitions 232
An anonymous reader writes "The White House has responded to two more We the People petitions. These new inquiries ask the government to acknowledge formally that aliens have visited Earth. The response from Phil Larson of the White House Office of Science and Technology is: 'The U.S. government has no evidence that any life exists outside our planet, or that an extraterrestrial presence has contacted or engaged any member of the human race. In addition, there is no credible information to suggest that any evidence is being hidden from the public’s eye.'" I'm glad that's cleared up. Now our government can get back to important work like developing caffeinated jerky.

Sooner or later they're going to realize that the internet is not conducive to their monopolistic, pricing model. I expect at some point they're just going to try and blanket take down all media on the internet, then come up with their own Internet3 crippled with DRM. Of course they'll sell signing keys and leases to indy publishers after enough red tape and time...

Comment By design? (Score 1) 282
Clearly the solution here is to give Sony more personal information than you already have. How about your SSN, relative's contact info, 3rd grade report card, or facebook login (hoping you don't use the same login there). If Sony doesn't get their act together though, this will just turn into a cycle. There really is no way to identify someone on the internet other than using one issued by some other body such as a SSN or CCN who has hopefully done their legwork to verify your applications for ID are legitimate.
