Simple solution - import several thousands "engineers" from India, Pakistan, Eastern Europe, etc. Then watch all these old and proud geeks join army of hobos and lunatics, while counting profits and pushing new, even more restrictive laws. You think people with money would hesistate for even a minute?

Simple answer - import engineers from India, Pakistan or Eastern Europe. Cheaper, dirtier, but no "firm moral points" - it's all just about the wage. And all "hardcore geek elite" guys will just join the army of blubbering homeless people - even Stallman will look good around them. Noone ever won big battle without weapons - and modern day engineers don't have such a big arsenal as they like to think. Sadly.

Jello-like memory device developed->

Submitted by Jade_Wayfarer
Jade_Wayfarer writes "Researchers from North Carolina State Univercity had developed a memristor-like device that can be used to create a true bio-inteface for electronics. The devices are made using a liquid alloy of gallium and indium metals set into water-based gels, similar to gels used in biological research. For now devices cannot store much data, but they can operate in environments that would make traditional electronics unusable (wet insides of brain, for example).

Maybe this device can even help to store data after an EMP, which will make it harder for criminals (or police) to destroy important evidence. But for now researchers hope to use it in biological sensors or for medical monitoring.

Device is discussed in an abstract here."
