This doesn't prove he's guilty. He may have had knowledge of the murder, and use that to reduce the sentence. I still have faith that the real story will come out.

He is the O .J. Simpson of nerds. We can't believe he's guilty because he's one of us.

  Science: Latest Earth-Crossing Asteroid Passes by Tonight 2008-01-28 17:15

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Monday January 28 2008, @05:15PM
from the not-time-to-duck-and-cover-just-yet dept.
jc42 writes "Astronomers have been looking at the first images of asteroid 2007 TU24, the 250-meter asteroid that will pass 540,000 km from the Earth at 8:33 UTC (3:30 EST) Tuesday morning. So get your telescopes out; it's a 10th-magnitude object. Or just hold your breath as the time approaches. It might be sobering to consider that it was just discovered last October, and we know about maybe half of the objects like this in Earth-crossing orbits."

  Collaborative, distributed backups? 2007-06-10 19:18 RichiH

Submitted by RichiH on Sunday June 10 2007, @07:18PM
RichiH writes "Everyone knows that you should keep backups. A few of us actually even do so. But what about your parents? Your girlfriend's aunt? Anyone else you are privileged to do free IT services for? With hard disks too large for the average user and flatrates in almost every home, I was pondering having them mirror data to each other. Privacy concerns aside, programs like svn, git or rsync come to mind. None of these provide what I would want to see, though. The ideal solution does not require you to manually add files but simply backs up everthing in a few given folders. It should not require any clicking of buttons and run regularly. Bonus points if it is able to shape itself down or limit the monthly traffic amount. The client must run on Windows. Ideally, they would need no central server, but a server-based solution is fine as well as long as the server runs on Linux."

AxelBoldt writes "CNET News.com reports that a cell phone's microphone can be remotely turned on to eavesdrop on nearby conversations. This works even if the phone is switched off; no physical access is necessary. "Security-conscious corporate executives routinely remove the batteries from their cell phones." The feds are using the technique and apparently it is legal."

  Firefox Privacy Flaws Cause Breakup? 2006-12-01 16:54 Anonymous Coward

Submitted by Anonymous Coward on Friday December 01 2006, @04:54PM
An anonymous reader writes "As you can read on The Daily WTF, some privacy flaws have consequences. Here we have a woman complaining that the flaw of being able to see that passwords are never saved for sites like Adult Friend Finder caused her to dump her fiancé and boyfriend of five years. The best part? It's not actually a flaw in Firefox — they just shared the same Firefox profile by mistake. Sorry, no direct link to Bugzilla bug #330884 because they disallow links from Slashdot."

  Moon Hit By Meteors Frequently 2006-12-01 16:38 From A Far Away Land

Submitted by From A Far Away Land on Friday December 01 2006, @04:38PM
From A Far Away Land writes ""Meteoroids are smashing into the Moon a lot more often than anyone expected. That's the tentative conclusion of Bill Cooke, head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office, after his team observed two Leonids hitting the Moon on Nov. 17, 2006. "We've now seen 11 and possibly 12 lunar impacts since we started monitoring the Moon one year ago," says Cooke. "That's about four times more hits than our computer models predicted."""
