Comment WEP but with MAC whitelist... (Score 1) 438
Heck I will even give you the WEP passphrase: men4ice, BUT I have a MAC whitelist and if you don't know any of them, good luck.
The reason I have WEP enabled is that some of my devices are not WPA/WPA2 capable so its the lowest common denominator.

It isn't a re-make. Please stop your useless uninformed conjecture.
We know its not a remake. Its an evolution of what Flynn's character after the first movie. We understand that. I have to tell ya tho, It is one of my 4 favorite movies and just plain fun. It's Disney so that tells you something too.
Take the original TRON for what its worth.

No shit. That's what made the whole movie. In fact, I WISH they would have kept the graphics the way they were. Granted the names

Please tell me that a simple PFC could steal this kind of information. You can't be serious. I'm not a conspiracy theorist but if I were, this would have the Kennedy Assassination beat by a long mile.
I'm not in the military but I have been in plenty of military datacenters. They just don't let PFCs in unless they are cleaning the floors.
I bet this kid didn't even exist. I bet the 'leak' was intentional. Wouldn't surprise me.

Do you know how insanely boring it is to sit in a rocking chair and stare at a wall for 8 hours a day to breastfeed your baby? I've gotten quite far in Angry Birds on my iPhone in the 10 weeks since my son was born. I would kill for a full computer I could operate without my hands.

Collision of Two Asteroids Spotted For the First Time 31
sciencehabit writes "Astronomers report that a small asteroid located in the inner asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter took a major hit early last year. Previously rendered only in artists' conceptions, the first asteroid collision known in modern times revealed itself in a tail of debris streaming from what astronomers at first assumed was a comet. Instead of a steady stream of dust, however, they found boulders near the object with dust moving away from them."
Comment Why not have this sooner? (Score 1) 116
Why haven't we had this sooner? Seems a no-brainer to put most car display on a HUD. I'm talking basic automotive display not navigation or other distracting display. We need this NOW. Maybe more people would be more conscious of what they are doing, what the condition of the car is and gee, keep their eyes up and more on the road.

Pluto — a Complex and Changing World 191
astroengine writes "After 4 years of processing the highest resolution photographs the Hubble Space Telescope could muster, we now have the highest resolution view of Pluto's surface ever produced. Most excitingly, these new observations show an active world with seasonal changes altering the dwarf planet's surface. It turns out that this far-flung world has more in common with Earth than we would have ever imagined."
