Well, no, actually. He did call for the regime to fall, a much different meaning. Did Iran threaten Israel with nuclear attack? No.

On the other hand, we had a U.S. presidential candidate singing "Let's Bomb Iran". Why the double standard?

> demonstrated intent to export insurrection with the stated goal of complete domination

AACS Cracked Again 306

Posted by kdawson on Thursday April 12, 2007 @12:09PM from the persistence dept.

EmTeedee sends us to a blog post for a summary of the latest results in cracking AACS, from the Doom9 forums (as the earlier cracks have been) — after the DVD Security Group said it had patched the previous flaws. From the DLTV blog: "This time the target was the Xbox 360 HD DVD add on. Geremia on Doom9 forums has started a thread on how he has obtained the Volume ID without AACS authentication. With the aid of others like Arnezami they have managed to patch the Xbox 360 HD DVD add on... It appears that XT5 has released [an] application that allows the Volume ID to be read without the need to rewrite the firmware. This would mean that anyone could simply plug in the HD DVD drive and obtain the Volume ID from any HD DVD without the hassle of flashing it."

I have a Dell Latitude D800 (Pentium M 1.4 GHz). I can get a solid five hours out of it if the screen brightness is down and the processor isn't too heavily loaded.

It's a welcome jump from many other notebooks where the battery could be more accurately labeled "UPS"...
