So, exactly what problem does implementing cryptographic mail signatures solve, anyway?
If you're planning on rejecting mail from signatures you don't recognize, you can just whitelist email addresses. We already can do that, signed messages don't make any difference.
If you just want a valid signature, that won't work. Most spam today is sent from compromised machines, and if the spammer already has control of the machine, it's trivial to use the key on the machine to sign the spam.
But it doesn't matter. The car is scanning infrared, and sees the moose moving toward the road, beyond the reach of the headlights, and beyond the vision capabilities of the human. It's calculated the speed and direction of the moose, and is already preparing to take evasive action before the human even knows there's a moose there.
If the systems are well designed, they'll beat "intuition" every time.
People aren't suggesting computer controlled passenger jets at this point, because they're already in the air. You don't really think the pilot is really touching the controls for the entire flight, do you?
The designs are ready for the next generation of aircraft controls, where the pilot will be a babysitter for the computer. Why should cars be different?
Well, if you ate it and didn't get sick, then it wasn't actually bad, was it? I'm not sure what you're complaining about.
And around here, all the grocery stores have the silly little cards. I don't really have a choice if I want to eat. And I like eating.
I have generally found Kroger to be the best of the chains here, every time I've been to the others, I've gotten rotten fish - that's never happened at Kroger. The employees are generally friendly, and seem to be quite competent.
And I feel better shopping there because they are the only unionized grocery store in town.
The remote readable electric meters are not everywhere, my meter has analog dials that require reading by a human. I don't believe my utility has any plans to change that anytime soon.
You mostly see them in places where electricity rates vary by time of day, which doesn't happen here.
But for some of us, prepaid would be the difference between a $130/month phone bill with unlimited voice, data, and text and a $400 - $600 phone bill just for voice with prepaid.
I use the cell phone for work and it's my only home phone, so I'm saving home and business phone bills, and while I suppose I don't have to talk on the phone, it's kind of nice to be able to make enough money to pay my bills, so while the free time might be nice, sleeping under a bridge wouldn't be.
I consider it evil of Apple to censor the app store, especially considering that for the non-jailbroken devices, it's the only way to load software on the iDevices. I wish they would either set up a mechanism for loading unapproved software easily, or open the app store to anything that anyone does, with no censorship.
But since they've taken the path of censoring, this app should be at the top of the list. It's pure evil, it's more obscene than a woman being fucked by a dog. And while I absolutely support the repulsive slime's right to say whatever they want, because Apple is allowing this on the app store when they reject so many other things, it's essentially an official Apple endorsement of this slime.
The KKK hates jews, blacks, and gays. The only difference for Exodus is they leave out the blacks, and they're less vocal about the jews. They are abhorrent, and unless Apple goes to a completely content-neutral app approval policy, Apple supports them.
Speaking of butt - I remember a nifty utility for the Mac called ButtTrumpet that was really amazingly useful for getting those Trumpet systems offline. Perfect for freeing up a few modems back in the day.
But yeah, back in the day I had to support that Trumpet garbage. I'd like to kick the guy in the head, that software was a disaster.
You don't need a USB card reader, you can use the ExpressCard slot. http://www.sonnettech.com/product/memorycardreaderwritere34.html It can stay in the slot if you like, so nothing else to carry. Looks like they're about $30, and it should be just as fast as the internal one in the 15". The more powerful bit does include the eSATA port (since not much is actually ThunderBolt yet), but also card readers (not everyone uses SD, some people use things like Compact Flash), video adapters, extra ethernet ports, wireless cards (both wifi and cell data), and flash drives. It's better than built in SD, really.
I have mixed feelings on the jury asking for information. I'd be afraid it would mainly be used to try to discover information that had been excluded.
But there's no way it's a good idea to allow a conviction with only a majority. We need to be thinking about what changes we need to make it much harder to get a conviction - think about things like prohibiting cops from wearing uniforms or badges to court, larger juries while keeping the requirement for a unanimous verdict for a conviction, making a hung jury equivalent to an acquittal, removing peremptory challenges from the prosecution while allowing them for the defense, forcing judges to inform criminal juries of their right to jury nullification of the law, that sort of thing.
And the concept of keeping some people off the jury isn't to remove knowledgeable people, it's to remove people who already have an opinion on the issue before the court. If someone already has heard something about the case or works in the same field, there's a good chance that while they don't already have a verdict in mind, the evidence might have to be overwhelming for them not to vote a certain way. And even more unfortunately, it seems that most people are biased in favor of the prosecution.
The current jury selection process is not ideal. But from what I've seen on suggestions for "improving" it, it's the best we can do at this point. And allowing prosecutors to hand out anything (like free wifi to bored people) during the selection process is only going to make it worse.
Gah! It's far too easy for an innocent person to be convicted NOW, we already have the world's largest prison population, by far.
I'd be all for an expanded jury, keeping the requirement for unanimity. Maybe even throw in a requirement that a hung jury is an automatic aquittal, with no chance for the prosecution to try again.
But anything that makes a conviction easier is a horrible idea.

You do realize those aren't discounts, right?
They've just marked up the price for everybody without the card.
Nope, automated trains aren't dead.

And there are a lot of moose in urban centers?

You didn't watch the video, did you?
It's too late to stop them from mixing, Google has already put the test vehicles on the roads with other traffic, pedestrians, etc. No disaster yet.
And that's exactly how it's going to have to happen, because as you say, drivers aren't going to give up their cars.

And where would that be?
No grocery store in my area doesn't have these cards.
Is that recent? Because I didn't.
And I periodically exchange cards with friends, acquaintances, people on the street, that sort of thing.

Bullshit. GPL is much more free than BSD license.
Well, it's nice that prepaid works for you.

I'm not a Chicago local, and that particular building is the Sears Tower.
The company that owns it can call it whatever they want in private, but everybody else needs to publicly correct them every time they do it in public.
That's pretty much where I am with this one too.

I wish I had mod points, that's not flaimbait, it's insightful.
M$ can't write good operating systems, not for music player, not for phones, and not for computers.
I'm just glad that their marketing is finally starting to fail too.
Yes we did. By the time Trumpet 1.0 was released (1994 - and that was actually hard to find), we had your choice of MacTCP or Open Transport TCP/IP.
But to the best of my recollection, MacTCP was shipping with System 7 in 1991.
Speaking of butt - I remember a nifty utility for the Mac called ButtTrumpet that was really amazingly useful for getting those Trumpet systems offline. Perfect for freeing up a few modems back in the day.
But yeah, back in the day I had to support that Trumpet garbage. I'd like to kick the guy in the head, that software was a disaster.
Um, the Mac users didn't have to worry about it, we had MacTCP conveniently included in the operating system.

Why would you complain about the ExpressCard slot?
You want it to do SD, get an adapter. It's MUCH more powerful than just a SD slot. Apple made a huge mistake taking ExpressCard out of the 15".
In 10 years, everyone will have forgotten facebook, and moved on to the next privacy-destroying scheme.
