Agreed. How about ADVAPI.DLL ? ( http://www.whale.to/b/nsa3.html ) Now all you need to do is get hardware manufactures to include the necessary wireless hardware somewhere (say in a USB hub chip or wifi chip) and of course given that the drivers for these are binary blobs (it's the MOST secure way sir! (I'm joking)) who knows what code the NSA has asked them include in that driver ? (NSA talking to NEC (or some other chip fab): Include our binary blob in you binary blob or we will fuck you up m'kay ?) Now how do you feel about running your 'binary blob' driver in linux ?

Submission + - Xerox photocopiers randomly alter numbers (dkriesel.com)
sal_park writes: According to a report from German computer scientist D. Kriesel, some Xerox WorkCentre copiers and scanners may alter numbers that appear in scanned documents. Having analyzed the output of two such devices, the Xerox WorkCentre 7535 and 7556, Kriesel found that âoepatches of the pixel data are randomly replaced in a very subtle and dangerous wayâ: in particular, some numbers appearing in a document may be replaced by other numbers when it is scanned.

I think this story is *way off* the mark. If you have the time then listen to this podcast to understand why:

Comment Acer Revo R3600 + xbmc (Score 2, Informative) 516
Try an Revo R3600 (~ £150 GBP) and XBMC live. The Revo is excellent, very very quite (much quieter than my sky+ PVR), about the size of an original apple tv, has HDMI and VGA output AND comes with a VESA stand that that you can use to hang it directly on the back of your TV (unless it's wall mounted).
XMBC live installs very easily and quickly, once you've found a usb cd/dvdrom to boot it from :)
The only other thing I needed was a remote / usb receiver but I just bought the cheapest windows media centre one I could find.
