Cassini's Primary Mission Ends, Two-Year Extension Begins

The Effects of Censorship — a Tale of Two Websites

An anonymous reader writes "Two message boards devoted to the same topic have each been on-line for roughly eight years. One is censored, and the other is not. The two forums are virtually the only ones devoted to their topic (polygraph testing, a fairly arcane one), so they're in "competition" only with each other. The result? The uncensored forum has more than six times as many posts as the censored one." To be fair, there are a few other differences between the two forums, but the point may still be valid.

Do you know much about two-factor authorization? Using an ATM is a good example: You must have a card (factor one) and know the PIN (factor two). It's an excellent security approach ... but how can online financial operations like banks implement the paradigm without installing a card reader in every home?

One Arrested and Two Sought By Police After Arts Festival Robbery

If you read the newspaper or check online news sources frequently you have probably already noticed that there has been a lot of strange criminal activity going on lately.

For example the Fire Arts Festival in Los Angeles that was held in the 1200 block of Seventh Street is where two women were leaving and returning to their vehicle when they were accosted and robbed.
