Yes scary, but many companies install a USB blocker that prevent this kind of hack.

Actually, wikipedia is pretty consequence-less for someone petty enough to remove even parts of the discussion pages. I don't think codeproject allows someone to remove messages posted from someone else...

This reminds me of a famous quotation by Carl Sagan, on being asked if he thought there was life elsewhere in the universe, to which he replied that he didn't know

I'd be curious to know where you found this quote. Indeed, if you read Carl Sagan's book Cosmos, he wrote a chapter about experiments that were conducted to recreate primal earth environment. He seems to be quite positive on the fact life can emerge easily given the right conditions. He also played a major role in setting up the SETI program. He also wrote about how he became interested on those topics very early in his life, and this was the driving force that lead him to follow his path.

Yeah, and I guess you support the metric system, the Tobin Tax and UK joining the euro... ;P ;P ;P

Yes this is amazing to see how many people assume they'll have more money by avoiding paying their taxes, and how governments often assume it is a good idea to just keep on spending in an out of control fashion...

They will try to use their hijacked iPhone, but unfortunately technical support will refuse to help them, because of some licensing issue. So... Well, hmmm... Chuck Norris will do it a third time (Actually he hijacked his iPhone... twice ... too...)

It definitely is counterproductive to use a currency that costs more than its face value, but it does not make much sense to even use something that costs as much as face value. You'd then be back to the old times when gold was the currency and the amount of money you had was directly linked to the amount of material in your pocket.

Interesting article, but I think the argument saying the fact currency is costly prevents government from being irresponsible seems a little fallacious. A very large chunk of currency transactions have been virtual for many years, and it does not look like the decisions made by governments to create (or not) new money is influenced that much by the cost (or lack of cost) of the currencies.

How about using a modern currency with many built-in security features? :rolleyes: See this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro_banknotes[^] (Might be even more cost effective to use virtual currencies)

Indeed, Mr Minute actually pointed this out in a previous post on this thread. Nevertheless, that is quite an interesting news.
