I read this news a couple of days back and I wanted to find more about the paper, so I typed 'smokers are dumber' on Google.
The headlines of the articles appeared in the results given by Google. However, while the first three or four results correctly cited the paper
with titles like 'Smokers dumber than non smokers' around the 6 or 7 result articles like 'Smoking makes you dumber' started to appear.
The real question is, why?
There is cryptography for that. Now, apart from the unfortunate and deprecated WEP protocol, there are some really secure alternatives out there, like WPA2.
Certainly more secure than a leaky insulation.
It would be like sending a secure mail over in a physical vault, rather than using PGP or GPG. Who would do that?
You are on Slashdot and you need explanation to see that implementing a Twitter client on a C64 is totally cool?
Sir, you are requested to leave this room please.
It might be better to keep the GPS on in situations of 'extreme' distress. Let's assume you are so sick you can't even talk. Then when you call 911 the phone might recognize you are not talking and synthetise a message saying for example 'The owner of this phone appears to be in extreme distress and at this moment the GPS says that he is at X address. Please send an ambulance at the address'.
You could apply the same concept to action movies too. Like Jack Bauer being trapped and unable to talk that calls CIA head quarters
