    Mr. Lazarus,

    I fail to see what you achieved that was ground-breaking. Given a name, you determined the name of the spouse? And then you found out where they live? Maybe I missed the point of your article.

    Insecure products can be built just as easily in a closed-source as an open-source model. There is nothing in either that inherently creates safe code. The power of open-source code is that when problems such as these do creep up, you may be able to do something about it.

    Definitions of ment on the Web:

    • (Hebrew, kapparah). In Judaism: Reconciliation with God. According to Jewish belief, human sin damages the relationship with God and only the process of atonement can restore it. According to biblical teaching, sacrifice was the outer form of atonement (Leviticus 5), provided human beings also purified themselves spiritually (eg Isaiah I. 11-17). In Christianity: In Christian theology, atonement is the reconciliation ('at-one-ment') of men and women to God through the death of Christ. The word was introduced by W. Tyndale in 1526, to translate reconciliatio'. The need for such reconciliation is already apparent in the Old Testament: in

    I would propose that your pseudo-definition of theft relies largely on your implied definition of what constitutes property. Your implied definition of property as something tangible ignores the characteristic of property whereby its worth is a function of its scarcity.

    Similar, not so Star-Wars related experience. I flipped over the handlebars and landed with my right calf on the exhaust. I had heard that the best remedy for 1st/2nd degree burns (after a potato) is alcohol. So I got back on the bike, drove to a nearby farm and proceeded to compress alcohol-soaked gauze on the two wounds. That hurt like heck but the wounds scarred real nice.

    The first step was pretty simple. Strip the numbers and you get "thereareXXXXXXXXXXidestoeverystoryyou".

    My first guess (because I remember an old saying) is "therearefoursidestoeverystoryyou".

    If I had the time, I'd try and figure out "24104105#####716119059157609561".

    Nonetheless, assuming you kept the letter-number pattern, you've narrowed your key to a trivial 10^5 possibilities:

    My read of the post doesn't suggest that the submitter is trying to scam anybody out of anything. It also isn't clear that the grant is government-funded. I'm guessing the submitter is probably not in charge of implementation. And it sounds like they are not looking to roll-their-own.

    So, the valid questions that the submitter asks - which you make no effort to answer - are a) best practices (tech and security) and b) which companies to avoid using.

    I think the submitter rightfully emphasizes the second question.
