"There is a controversy among scientists about whether evolution is a fact...hundreds and hundreds of scientists, many of them holding Nobel prizes, believe in intelligent design."
— Michele Bachmann

"Forty-three Nobel Laureate scientists have endorsed our effort to repeal Louisiana's creationism law...Congresswoman Bachmann, you claim that Nobel Laureates support creationism. Show me your hand. If you want to be taken seriously by voters while you run for President, back up your claims with facts. Can you match 43 Nobel Laureates, or do you fold?"
— Baton Rouge high school student Zach Kopplin

You go, Zach! Bachmann was challenged to a debate by a NJ student who was pissed at Bachmann's displays of ignorance of the Constitution, Bachmann declined.

This is pretty cool! It's not a common attack vector, but it's one that has been exploited and wouldn't be difficult. They're using AES-128, which is not easily broken. The cool thing about it is that it's going to sell for $40! The bad thing is that it isn't ergonomic, otherwise I'd be seriously interested.

This is pretty cool. I don't know how much information will come of this, we'll just have to see. The article describes it as lots of chatter over visa applications.
