    So, what your saying is that now we can create an instrument that would not only provide inverse reactive current, for use in unilateral phase detractors, but would also be capable of automatically synchronizing cardinal gram meters.

  11. Re:Much more in Europe on Google's Streetview Seen As Culturally Insensitive In Japan · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Here in Europe, this feeling of privacy is much stronger than in Japan.

    Apparently, you don't know Japan very well. I not only have lived here for over 14 years but am married to a Japanese woman and have 3 kids. It may surprise you to know that the word for privacy in Japanese is...puraibashi. "Why is that" you ask? In Japan there really wasn't any real concept of privacy before Japan started becoming westernized. So to say that privacy is big here is just bullshit. All your neighbors here are always knee deep in your shit (most people can't help it because they are only centimeters away from their neighbors). Privacy has only recently become big here with big companies sharing your personal information with others. Companies can even be certified that they will keep your personal information secret. Other than that, in your personal life, here in Japan privacy doesn't exist.

    When you pass by my house on street view, unless you're specifically looking for it, you don't know it's my house.

    Yup...just like if someone were really driving down your street.

  13. That's Bullshit on Google's Streetview Seen As Culturally Insensitive In Japan · · Score: 1

    Everybody in Japan doesn't think like that. I live and work in Tokyo and I have Japanese friends that think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. It just goes to show that no matter where you live there's always going to be that 10%.

    True. When you are providing services to the general public you need a trusted 3rd party to verify your identity.

    From TFA

    Davenport responded by selling his code to Blueport, which attempted to negotiate a license with the Air Force, which responded by hiring a company to hack the compiled version by deleting the code that enforced the expiration date.

    So in the end it goes like this:
    1. Write code for employer
    2. Sell to 3rd party
    3. 3rd Party sues employer
    4. Start company
    5. Employer hires your company to crack the code you wrote
    6. ???
    7. Profit

  18. Re:Seconded. on Mozilla SSL Policy Considered Bad For the Web · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Bear in mind the three levels of security: 1) no-ssl: offers neither encryption nor authenication 2) SSL(self-signed): offers encryption 3) SSL(3rd party signed): offers both

    why is that that no.2, which is a significant improvement on no.1, generates such a severe warning message?

    Well...no. 2 also offers authentication if you consider that you signed it yourself (and it's assumed that you trust yourself because, after all, if you don't trust yourself you can you trust)? However, it seems to make sense that since there are no 3rd parties involved why does there need to be a warning? Perhaps people should just install the public certificate of their site into their browser.
