If you give it a name with 8 characters, mixed-case and with some numbers... well, then it's as strong as a typical password, anyway. Except now you've just typed the address to your entire password list into the address bar - not only has the logger captured access to the password to the site you logged into, but to all of the passwords in your list!
I agree, on my 64 bit Ubuntu box I've learned not to try to use any wizards or templates unless I want to crash OO and start over. I guess I should have been good and filed a bug, but usually Abiword is all the awesome I need and then some.
If we accept the fact that the greatest hurdle in arresting international cyber criminals is that various legal systems just aren't prepared to address the speed at which these crimes occur or the various nuances that are unique to computer crimes, then the question is: What can we do to fix the problem?
I'm going to use myspace as an example here of a site which does not support OpedID (last I checked), but this is applicable to many others:
I have a friend who has his blog on his myspace page, which I like to read; I would like to post comments, but I can't do that without a myspace account, but I really *don't* want to sign up for myspace just so I can post on his blog. My idea is, assuming myspace is not going to start supporting openID posting any time soon, what if there were a site/service which would sign up for a myspace account, and then I could use my openID to sign in there and post on my friend's blog through that services account. This same account would be "shared" by anyone who wants to post using their openID account instead of signing up for an account on myspace just to post a comment on a blog. The "proxy" comment would have to be posted by the service of course, with something indicating the openID of the poster.
I'm sure someone can think of a reason why this is a terrible idea and could never work, but it would sure be nice and maybe would encourage such sites to support openID postings directly.
I never noticed the extra shift key and the pg-up and pg-down keys on the 2030. I did notice that they'd taken the tab key out of the middle, which is why I went with the 2020 (and I think because at the time I could get them cheaper on eBay).
I have several TypeMatrix keyboards (2020's) and they're great. There are just a few tweaks I would make which would bring them close to my "ideal" keyboard:
1. I'd turn the left spacebar key into a shift button so I don't have to reach w/ my pinky for shift.
2. I'd add two of those little eraser nub things next to each index finger - one which would control the mouse (as they normally do on the laptops on which I've seen them), and the other would operate the arrow keys.
3. I would like a full sized one w/ its own number pad and page-up/page-down keys etc, so that I don't have to use the function key just to access those. After all, it's not like I'm using a laptop, I should be able to benefit from having a full size keyboard with all the keys.
4. A programmer pad like my touchstream has would be a bonus.
I wish there were more keyboards out there w/ straight rows instead of the retarded keys offset so the hammer arms don't get stuck relic from the typwriter feature that most keyboards exhibit today.
I've often considered putting one of those banner led programmable scrolling signs in my back window so I could type messages to other drivers. Or maybe you could use some sort of small projector to project the messge directly into their car...
Well you obviously can't be *sure* I (or someone else) won't run off with it and make millions of dollars, but you can of course release it under a suitable license which would make it illegal for me to do so. I'd suggest something from http://www.opensource.org/licenses or http://creativecommons.org/ if you want.
As for figuring out how it works - well, that just takes time, reading,and thinking; just how much is yet to be determined:D
How much source code is it? I've been poking around a bit trying to find somewhere that would be quick and easy; Sourceforge definately isn't, google code is better, but I don't think version control is really needed here. I did find http://codeviewer.org/ which seems like it might work if there isn't too much code, though it's definately not very permanent.
Seems like most of what I found is geared toward snippets, or full source code management. I wonder if anyone else here knows a good place?
Don't worry about documentation, I'm mostly interested in seeing your code. I'm sure I can figure out how it works:)
It would be great if you could post your source code somewhere along with some description (and maybe even pics) of your setup.
I'm currently (and very slowly) working on an FTIR multitouch interface, similar to the stuff at NUI Group but haven't gotten to the software part yet. They have libs there, but I'd be very interested in seeing your python stuff, as I'd much rather work in Python:).
Also, the IR pen setup should be quicker to build than the FTIR setup. I was especially impressed when I first saw it being used w/ a regular lcd, as the projector is usually the most prohibitively expensive part of building an interactive display.
From the summary I read "sharing a file on P2P networks will land you one year in jail", and I thought they meant any file! Then I RTFA and realized it was only copyrighted files they were talking about.
So if you're right, the article got it wrong, and the summary got it even more wrong.
oh man, T-ball was infuriating for me as a child because (aside from there not being any pitching) both teams would simply go through the whole batting order once, then switch. It didn't matter that we got 4 outs in an inning. And I'm not an overly competitive person, but it just didn't feel like a real game when it didn't matter one bit if someone got out (I don't remember if we kept score or not).
First off, the parent post may not have been specifically talking about economic value; if you have a useful object and I take it from you, now I have a useful object and you do not. If you have a useful idea, and you tell me about it (or even if I copy it without your permission), now we both have a useful idea.
Now, even considering economic value, sharing can still increase value. Say you have a skill no one else has and many people are willing to pay you use it on their behalf, the value to them (which dictates how much they will be willing to pay) will have some upper bound. Now if you teach me the skill, as long as we still are both unable to fulfill the demand, the value has just been doubled. It only becomes devalued (in the economic sense) once it's widespread enough that people can go somewhere else if they don't like your price.
Windows just plain works for the vast majority of people. I'm sorry, I'm going to have to call bullshit on this one. I can't think of anyone I know who would say, "oh yea, I run windows and everything just works for me".
You *might* find people that say this if the only thing they do is brows the web, but then, what respectable modern operating system doesn't "just work" for web browsing?
More than once in the last two years I've been picked out for "special screening". I used to fly quite a bit as a non-rev passenger (my uncle worked for one of the airlines, so he'd give us guest passes, which are basically very cheap standby fares) and when you fly on one of those you get SSSS (super special security screening?) on your boarding pass every time.
I was quite amused one time when flying with 3 other people all on guest passes, and we all went through security at once. The TSA people were surprised to get 4 "random" screens in a row:p. Uh, it's not really random guys. I take it as an indication that the security screenings are pretty ineffective that being a non-rev passenger puts you on that list. I mean, really, when you're hardly paying anything for the flight, you're much less likely to be pissed off by a bit of extra screening, so they can keep up appearances of doing "random screening" without extra inconvenience to as many revenue generating passengers. Either that or they've got some reason to believe that airline employees and their friends and families are more keen to blow up some airplanes than everyone else.
No touch screen is going to know which fingers you are tapping it with and which you are skipping. You obviously have never used a Touchstream. In my experience, it does remarkably well at knowing which fingers are doing what. Not perfect, but certainly more versatile than a regular mouse.
So put a mirror behind your desk. ..of course then you'll have to learn to read backwards.
Probably you'd want a compromise, some angle of incline that offers the best combination of being able to rest your hands on the desktop and not having to look straight down.
For clicking links, use the accent key and type the last characters of the first word in the link. which key is that? I thought maybe ~ but that doesn't do the trick.
Even better would be two of these little nubs, one to move the mouse, and one that does arrow keys. My Touchstream basically does that, and I found it very helpful for quick and easy cursor movement without having to take my hand off the home row.
I've always been a bit disappointed with the seeming inability of so many guys to actually hit the Urinal. Saw a guy once in a movie theater restroom standing a good foot or two away and basically only getting about half of it in the urinal. ..wtf dude?
Anyway, pissing outside is highly preferable when it's an option, regardless of aiming talent:)
WRT sitting down (as I do when I have to take a crap), I always find that not everything drains all the way that way, and I have to stand up and turn around (carefully) to get rid of the last few drips anyway, so sitting down to pee would be pretty pointless. I don't know if this is unique to me or not, maybe I just haven't figured out the right way to sit or something:P
I agree for the most part: I don't care that much because it meets my needs. ..except when it doesn't *because* relatively few people are using it.
People care that other people start using linux because it would put pressure on hardware manufacturers to make their devices linux compatible, or software companies to make their software work on linux (and I'm mostly talking about games here).
There are many more example of where more widespread adoption would increase the likelihood of things working smoother for me. So I care for those reasons, and because, well, I'm a lot happier using Linux so I'd like to share it with others who may not have had the chance to discover Linux yet.
This revelation is interesting only because there is a possibility of a second gunmen. Most of the places where people claim a second gunmen to be have been heavily debunked in recent documentaries.
Not being all that familiar with the details, this made me think: if there was a second gunman, does that necessarily mean there was a second location? Could there have been two guys standing next to each other in the same place, just to increase the odds that one of them makes that shot, or is there some (and I suspect there is) indication that Oswald was by himself when he was shooting?

Just call in Team America and take 'em out.

Not to mention that bolt might not be too good for the wood chipper, though maybe those things are burly enough it wouldn't make a difference.

Where are my mod points when I need them?

yes, but how many support voice chat with GoogleTalk users?
