You still need to activate Windows on an ATM

Russian ATM runs on unactivated copy of Windows – Engadget

Granted, we’d be a tad more surprised about this if it wasn’t found in Russia, but this one defies logic regardless. While we’re unsure if tricksters have figured out a way to siphon unthinkable quantities of cash from this particular ATM, the owners should be ashamed of themselves for running a (presumably pirated) unactivated copy of Windows on the public banking machine. Of course, there’s quite a few workarounds for this problem if you take the time to look, but seriously, who skimps on a product activation code when running a multi-million (billion?) dollar banking operating?

The CIA’s favorite form of torture – Salon News

According to news reports, the White House is preparing to issue an executive order that will set new ground rules for the CIA’s secret program for interrogating captured al-Qaida types. Constrained by the 2006 Military Commissions Act, which contains a strict ban on abuse, it is anticipated that the order will jettison waterboarding and other brutal interrogation techniques.

“Unbreakable” encryption works in real time over long distances, NIST says – Scientific Blogging

In the internet age, when 120,000,000 smart people on Digg can see an article about your technology, it takes some real courage to use the term “unbreakable”, but the guys at NIST are doing just that. They say they have built a prototype high-speed quantum key distribution (QKD) system that can perform a theoretically unbreakable “one-time pad” encryption, transmission and decryption of a video signal in real-time over a distance of at least 10 kilometers.

Here’s my question if it’s “Unbreakable” and it’s decrypted at the other end, eventually it will not be unbreakable if mass used.

Pictures of the The Real Last Samurai – Japanator

F*cked Gaijin found a collection of photographs hidden within Tokyo University’s web site, displaying some of the last pictures of men from the samurai class. They were photographed by Parisian Nader, in both Japan and in Parris. It’s interesting to see the final members of this dieing breed, but I believe it would have been ten times better to see some samurai from the seventeenth or sixteenth century; but unfortunately cameras were not invented back then. Damn you Robert Boyle! Check out more pictures of my heroes after the jump.

Geronimo’s family call on Bush to help return his skeleton – The Independent

The great grandson of the Apache leader Geronimo has appealed to the big chief in the White House to help recover the remains of his famous relative – purportedly stolen more than 90 years ago by a group of students – including the President’s grandfather.

The story that members of Yale University’s secret Skull and Bones society took the remains – including a skull and femur – from the burial site in Fort Sill, Oklahoma, has long been part of the university’s lore. But a university historian recently recovered a letter from 1918 that appears to support the story that members of the society did indeed take the remains while serving with a group of army volunteers from Yale, stationed at the fort during the First World War.

And here’s an image of George W Bush at the Skull and Crossbones shin dig – Wikipedia

6 Free Multi-Service IM Clients – Extremetech

Tired of all the ads on AIM? Want access to more services than just Yahoo!? There are lots of IM client choices besides the big three—AIM, Yahoo! Messenger, and Windows Live Messenger (formerly MSN Messenger). The software we examine here lets you hook into any of these three services, and usually more besides, like Jabber. Not all of these applications will offer all of the features you’ll find on the big guys—video and voice chat come to mind—but most of them do a good job of unobtrusively keeping you in contact with your comrades.
