Re cling film remember that you would still get the ink on the clothing. the glass vials of dye are in contact with the clothing on the inside.

Did you find what mechanism was in place to actually break the glass? not to give anyone any ideas but I guess brute force combined with something like shrink wrap, to contain the ink, could do the trick to.

When a password is recoverable it might be encrypted but definatly not hashed. I think that there should be clear guidelines when working with user data especially with usernames and passwords ,possibly even sanction a website when the data isn't secured properly. Just my 2 cents. Looking at a large amount of websites i think the data leaking has just begon.

I suppose it would be a great business development plan from Microsoft management to plant him in Nokia in an effort to try and help MS's chances of competing in the smartphone market. With this alliance and MS's prior smartphone track record, perhaps, Nokia will go back to making rubber boots in the not too distant future?
