less--check their bank account balance on a public terminal connected to open Wi-Fi in a hotel lobby, and then shut the browser window and walk away--no logout, no cleared cookies or browser history, nothing. Logging out, clearing cookies, clearing browser history are not the problem. These are all on the laptop- which if the bank uses sessions (and it does, I promise), then the minute he closed the browser - it "logged" him out.
The problem is that anybody can watch the unencrypted stream of data on an open network.
Luckily- most banks use https, so it'd still be encrypted. So it's actually moderately safe. That being said, I make it a point not to check important information on other people's public wi-fi. It's just good practice.
They aren't trying to check pre-disposition. They want positive identification. Interestingly, DNA can be used for positive identification in the future, much more accurately than any other form of identification... but one problem exists: Data Entry inconsistencies...
When I went to the DMV to get my license, I needed 3 original documents to prove I was who I said I was.
Now if I get arrested with a convincing fake ID- then my DNA gets immediately tied to a fake persona - or worse, somebody else REAL. Why should such hardcore evidence have such a shakey foundation? They should require 3 positive forms of identification to get DNA- otherwise it'd be easy to tamper with the database on purpose! And who, when committing a crime, would have 3 positive forms of identification on them? Or any at all??
The poorest 5 couldn't afford it, so they didn't drink. 6 and 7 could afford to drink a little. 8, 9, and 10 Could drink the most.
Then they realized that the analogy didn't work at all- substitute drinks with roads, police, firemen, public services. Either they happen or they don't.
Can't we forcibly 'retire' these sort of politicians from their position... Bleh. People say that's what voting is for, but I don't believe them. In order for voting to make a difference, we need to convince the general public that what he said was stupid- but the general public is too stupid to know. So actually, he caters well to his constituants.
Their damage to the US is unfathomably huge. Time for open lobbying, not dissimilar to having to post your lobbying requests on the legislator's wiki site for all to see. Does this exist? I'd be willing to shell out for some hosting (I'm a reseller) and a domain and put up a political request wiki and see if it catches on. Seriously. What happens when the general populous starts making their requests known? What happens if we could get some media attention.

Despite my misuse of the term "Begs the question" I had an honest question that everybody treated as a direct attack- and I've been modded into oblivion. So much for insight on slashdot. The only thing I learned from my question is that I misused the term "Begs the question"
If you try to "register" for this school, it's $100 registration charge. They have a form for credit cards, but it's not secured, and if you put in an invalid card (or invalid data anywhere on the form) it accepts it and says "Thank You"
Lying to Congress is only a big deal if it's about something serious, like Steroid abuse, not something minor like abuse of executive power. That made me shiver. If only it weren't true. Remember how much crap was given to Clinton when he lied about monica? Republicans were trying to roast him. So dems- what the hell are you doing?
Additionally, if you check some of the "latest" blog posts for some of their clients, it seems this is ONLY being used for ugly spam-ish marketing...
This is basically the next venue that causes EVERY google search to show those damn spam pages every time- because *surprise* these are.EDU pages- they weigh more for Google and other search engines. This isn't about trust in the EDU name. This is about capitalizing on our trust that what an EDU has to deserves priority in our search engines because the barrier to entry almost guaruntees anti-spam in the EDU category.
The site is located at: http://blogs.pi.edu/ and if you visit the parent site: http://pi.edu/ it looks less like a school and looks more like one of those over-the-internet places... but with very little actual information. It makes me wonder if they obtained the EDU status by some technicality to begin with... there's no evidence this "school" has any students.
It looks they use that same blog software on their home page, I'd say it's pretty obvious this whole set-up was with selling blogs in mind. Think about it: "pi.edu" that's prime internet real-estate.
The only reason a lot of tax "cuts" are considered giveaways to the rich are because they often times have a bias to help lower the burden on rich people, but have little to no positive effects on the poor.
Your argument could consist on the term "giveaway" but not "to the rich" as you've entered a different territory. That being said, I don't usually use or hear the term "giveaway" anyhow.
We're going to install this fancy security system at the bank, so we can identify anybody who tries to rob the bank. But before you enter the building, make sure you *opt-in* so that we can catch you in the act, otherwise, we'll make sure not to watch or verify your presence.
This sounds like the most rediculous non-answer I've ever heard to a real problem.
Of course, it begs the question: How much of our current resources will it take to create/maintain these plants?
Also, I love the snippet:
"Mexico has an equally enormous solar resource. China, India, southern Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and Australia also have huge resources." They should continue, "unfortunately, there are a fair amount of countries that don't have access to the sun. "
Yeah, I only said that based on my VERY LIMITED understanding of relativity. But, yes, it's all theoretical anyhow.
That being said, I never really could wrap my mind around how light could have a constant speed despite the reference point, it seemed to go against the rest of the theory - which said just the opposite, speed is based solely on the reference point. AHHH!!
Do we need a venn diagram? Come on folks, they're not exclusive! Certain subsets of lying and scamming intersect some subsets of Social Engineering.

And it gets faster if [...] you watch your hands move by at close to the speed of light. Way cool. Ah, but the speed of light is absolute no matter what the reference point is, so technically, it'd be the same speed, whether you or the hand was moving.

It's slashdot- I get modded into oblivion on a regular basis for reasons unknown.

And who, when committing a crime, would have 3 positive forms of identification on them? Or any at all??
And you were modded "Troll."
Gawd, you should know better than to post on slashdot while committing such a heinous crime such as being brown.
Not to mention- the loopholes opened up to framing somebody.
Step 1. Obtain Somebody else's DNA
Step 2. Commit Crime
Step 3. Deposit DNA
Step 4. ???
Step 5. Profit
So instead they decided to take a new route.
All ten men paid equally 10% of the bill.
The poorest 5 couldn't afford it, so they didn't drink.
6 and 7 could afford to drink a little.
8, 9, and 10 Could drink the most.
Then they realized that the analogy didn't work at all- substitute drinks with roads, police, firemen, public services. Either they happen or they don't.

The whole thing's a scam.
Technically, in the long run solar power should be less costly. But you have two factors to weigh:
1. Americans are short sighted. Who wants to spend $captial now that will only pay off in 10 years?
2. I'm broke. I can afford $300/month, can't afford $10000 now.

We're most likely not doing it because the people invested in making something like that happen are more invested on Oil Dollars.
I wasn't criticizing the technology. I was criticizing the summary. And, yes, I RTFA, and yes, the first question was an actual question.
