Excuse my ignorance, but why not have a system that locks you out after three attempts and sends an email to your previously verified email account?
Why all this focus on "unguessable" passwords when it looks like if you have a powerful enough computer you can guess most in minutes?
Ok perhaps banks & public utilities need all the crypto stuff, but Joe-sixpack? Surely there's a more elegant solution than getting people to remember unmemorable passwords (which leads to post-it note on the monitor syndrome anyway)
I worked at a managed services business last year - they were an MS partner / reseller. All their solutions were MS based. So what did their senior execs use? - Powerbooks running windows of course.
I hazard to guess for the same reason - they looked cool and matched their iphones....
I try to keep stuff simple and make it a natural part of my routine (that way its gets done). Plus I try and have a backup system, just in case.
- Gmail for notes to myself and digital emphemera - delicious for bookmarks, internet links, recipes, articles (the feed of my links is backed up via email to my gmail) - 2x hard drives for photos & music (don 't worry about movies, since I only watch them once). Flickr also for photos. - Dropbox for all recent documents (the type of stuff you would find in PC's "my documents" folder) - this syncs across my pc, netbook, and allows access to my documents via my phone. - a big drawer for all hard copy receipts & documents. once a year at tax time it gets sorted and the stuff I want to keep gets put into a folder for that year.
They key is that all electronic stuff is searchable, so need to worry about tags, folder structures or databases (with the exception of folders for mp3 albums).
Everything is backed up (with the exception of hard copy stuff - too lazy to scan it)
I like the idea of evernote - but what happens if evernote goes down? Everything will be lost. That said I am a little reliant on Gmail. But if google goes down, then the internet has imploded anyway.
I'm tired of hearing crocodile tears for the steam powered "mom 'n pop" stores. As Blockbuster is being taken down by services that better provide what the customer wants, so the "mom 'n pop" stores were taken down by Blockbuster.
fair point - but there are no crocodile tears for a soulless corporate like blockbuster, in fact, there's more than a little Schadenfreude:-)
Contrary to some other opinions around here - I have to say I love the convenience of reading ebooks on my phone. I catch the train to work and the volume of my reading has increased massively. Previously books were too bulky to slip into my suit pocket and I used to read a book once a month or so, now I'm finishing books once every couple of days.
3 years ago, ebooks were less than 1%. Now they're 6%. That's a phenomenal growth rate of 500%. The ebook market is exploding!! Buy some Amazon shares now while they're cheap!!
With their encrypted servers, Julian Assange & Co have a very powerful tool at their disposal. But they're really not doing their credibility any favours by taking a naive "publish everything" stance. Wikileaks have to be held responsible for the results of their publishing.
This is not a perfect world and I do believe there is a place for wikileaks as "sunlight is the best disinfectant".
Wikileaks simply need to accept responsibility for the written bombs they are dropping, just the same as the US Army and the Taliban have to accept responsibility for theirs.

hmmm with the easily obtainable f/oss your kindle can read anything.
WHOOOSH!!
oops 1.8 ZB = 144 x estimated information content of all human knowledge.
Using 1 LoC = 20 TB, then 1.8 ZB = 96,636,764 LoCs
Or as wolfram alpha says 1.8 ZB = 144,000 x estimated information content of all human knowledge.

Has the secretary disavowed all knowledge of his actions?
If not, then I don't believe it

Max two directories deep.
Reverse date system
Everything gets a folder (no unfiled files)
eg:
Music/Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Photos/2008-11 Europe Vacation
no hdmi out
not enough storage
you can do this already - use the "friend lists" feature within facebook

totally agree. plus a video usually takes two minutes to tell me something I could read in 20 seconds.
In an ideal world, the US would have a department which would independently assess the CEO's proposals and see if they stack up.
Have you been advising my wife at shoe store sales?
great tip!! I'll buy some of that stock too!!
