This isn't just a problem with just universities. I have a card reader as well, and any site that issues swipe-able ID cards is more than likely susceptible. You would be surprised how many use an incrementing ID that you can easily

Interesting article, I was hoping that dark matter would prove to be observable in our solar system. I'm more curious about dark energy though. Hopefully in my lifetime, we can figure out what dark energy is. I'm curious what dar

Yea, I feel you. I used to live in DC and had a few friend that worked for the patent office. Hearing the stories about how things work internally made me lose all faith in the patent system.

That is funny, I did a valentine's dinner at waffle house when I was in college. We brought a little boom box for romantic music and those little disposable candles for mood lighting :P

There is still so much that we do not understand about the brain and its diseases. When we find the source of dementia, alzheimer, etc, I won't be surprised if very common activities put people at higher risk. Artificial sweeteners,

This is exactly what microsoft was doing, and it didn't work for them. My few friends with windows phone say the apps were great when they launched (developed with the $100K+ microsoft handout), but now are not maintained and buggy an

Some states view these types of crimes as crimes of 'moral turpitude' and it doesn't matter if it is a felony or misdemeanor. It will definitely effect your ability to get a security clearance or job in the security space.

Everyone is guessing if they are storing in plaintext or not. But that isn't the actual issue to learn from their mistake. They have publicly asserted what they are doing (which is great information for a hacker), and chose a bad way

Unfortunately, we can't do anything to fix the past. It is clear that there was a cover up. The number of banking execs that have gone to jail can be rounded down to zero. I wish our politicians / president would grow a pair and

Sociable pollution? The world is still not cleaner or safer to live in as CO2 is still being produced somewhere. This whole 'out of sight, out of mind' outlook on green issues isn't a solution. Until we move away from bur
