Ok, I have to ask, I keep seeing replies that boil down to "that's what backups are for" in response to key loss issues. I am wondering how a backup helps if you lose the key. Two things: 1) If you are backing up your files in clear text, you might as well not bother encrypting any of it.
Anyone who wants your data will steal the tapes. 2) If you are backing up the encrypted info, it uses the same key as what's on disk. 2a)I suppose you could decrypt everything then re-encrypt it with a different key onto the tape, but why.
Am I missing something here, or what? Multiple keys and or multiple people knowing them seems to be the only real solution to key loss. Of course then you run into the old saying of, X people can keep a secret only if X-1 of them are dead.
How many peer reviewed journals are freely available on the web?
The real question should be is "how often do subjects on wiki, for which there are peer reviewed journals, cite those journals."
I don't know about you, but when I look up physics questions, there is usually a journal in the list of cites. When I look up game info there isn't, but frequently magazine are cited.
I certainly have know some people who can't concentrate on driving if someone is talking to them in the car. I have also met people who literally have to stop walking, in order to have a conversation. Some people are very narrowly focused, and cannot afford ANY distraction while driving.
Why is it that the unborn are deprived of life without due process?
Now you're just trying to get into a debate on when something is considered life.
I guess if you wanted to debate it, you have to first be born to become a US Citizen, so any unborn child is therefore not a citizen.
Then we could get into the definition/interpretation of the word "born" to mean either created or released into another medium (delivered) and debates on the meaning of the 14th.
You also have to remember that most of the constitution, and related documents, only apply to people of voting age; and it's only been, relatively, recently that it applied to anyone but males. (i.e. children aren't afforded rights, as a rule)
What I'd really like to see is if the data were replaced with purely random data (or as close as we can get) would the people "analyzing" it get any different results, really? Or would they keep finding the trends they are looking for, do you think?
Simply: You look for known patterns in the light spectrum from the star, and measure how far from the "rest" position they are. When you pass the light from a star through prism you don't get a continuous band, there's light and dark lines in the spectrum. The light and dark lines correspond to absorption and emission energies of different elements in different quantum states. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_spectrum and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_shift for more info.

Why do Americans not care about their 4th amendment rights to not be searched, and why is simply wanting transportation sufficient cause or not unreasonable? I was about to say:
"You seem to be operating under a misconception about the 4th amendment. " But then I thought, before the TSA took over it was a no brainer, but now the Federal gov't is doing the searching, hmmm.
... one google later...
Even prior to the passage of ATSA and the Federalization of the screening work force, Federal courts upheld warrantless searches of carry-on luggage at airports. Courts characterize the routine administrative search conducted at a security checkpoint as a warrantless search, subject to the reasonableness requirements of the Fourth Amendment. Such a warrantless search, also known as an administrative search, is valid under the Fourth Amendment if it is "no more intrusive or intensive than necessary, in light of current technology, to detect weapons or explosives, " confined in good faith to that purpose," and passengers may avoid the search by electing not to fly. [See United States v. Davis, 482 F.2d 893, 908 (9th Cir. 1973)].
[snip] We see plenty of indicators by now that electrical terraforming may be occurring. The plume on Io, for god's sake, looks *exactly* like the output of a plasma gun. Images from Kristian Birkeland's terrella experiments from 100 years go are so identical to eclipsed shots of Io (with its hot point sources) that the two images are literally impossible to distinguish. There are rille structures on several planets that we've observed which move both up and down with the terrain. A person can imagine that the land lifted up in spots *or* that the rille could have been etched by plasma. People who argue that we should not investigate these things are basically assuming their way to their own conclusions. These ideas should not be judged within the assumptions of papers. We should evaluate the concept of electrical terraforming instead within the conclusions. Ok personal pet peeve here, Terraforming is making another planet[oid] more EARTH-like, not just changing one.
So if I read chapter one of a book, I can't find any new information in the second chapter if the author reuses words used in the first chapter?
You have been lied too about evolution by creationists. It doesn't operate the way you have been told. All mutations are "new information" to that particular genome.
Imagine for a moment that some percentage, say 10%, of the animalcules involved in the infection of a non-vaccinated person are less likely to reproduce successfully. (hence they are only 10% of the population) Ok, now imagine that they are not identified by the immune system of vaccinated individuals as the animalcule vaccinated for. (the 10% minority bug wasn't part of the vaccine) Now the sick, un-vaccinated individual goes to a place with lots of vaccinated individuals. The vaccinated individuals will be "immune" to 9 out of every 10 animalcules passed to them from the sick ones, the minority bug suddenly can be the majority bug in the new host, since there is no competition from it's more robust relatives. Givinig it plenty of "room" to mutate into something even more entertaining. So, in the end, the vaccinated can get sick, with a different strain, and the un-vaccinated can get sick twice. Not anyone's idea of fun, I would think.
Well, they submit the paper for publication, the published get to do what they want as far as controlling access to their publication. And there are frequently stipulations about where/when else you can publish a paper when you get one accepted by a journal.
Hmm, the Sirius channels I listen to mostly take requests. Of course I mostly listen to 80s & 90s alternative stuff. And I like the DJ interruptions that talk about the bands and the music. You're right about the interruption to change channels, though, bletch.
I fear the same thing will happen to radio as happened to cable TV, all the so called commercial free channels will steadily start getting more and more interruptions and finally give over to outright commercials, maybe not commercials for toothpaste, cars, and tampons, but commercials nonetheless.
I've been around blood bankers most of my life, I know that some hospitals are for profit, but most of the blood bankers I know work for non-profit organizations. So a charitable donation to a charitable organization isn't all that bad.
And there are foundations who will take your monetary donations if you don't like to donate blood, or cannot for some reason.
No, but if someone writes a letter to me personally, I expect I own it. At the very least communications between parties are owned jointly by both parties, and one should not be able to force [or even ask] the other to hold it in confidence unless first agreed to by both parties.
I think you have that slightly wrong, free speech needs no anonymity; only in places without free speech, or where it is limited, is anonymity anything but counterproductive. Being able to speak freely is subtly different than free speech.
Nobody is forcing people to work there, if the company wants to require employees be tagged with RFID there shouldn't be a problem with that because the potential employee has a choice.
Nobody is forcing people to work there, if the company wants to require employees be tagged with RFID there shouldn't be a problem with that because the potential employee has a choice. You know, there was a time when an employer could require females to "perform services as required" in order to keep their job. Sure they could go elsewhere, right. Sure they had a choice.
Was wondering if anyone would bring up the wonderful carbon arc experiments. In my youth I connected the lamp in my room, with bell wire, to two Scripto mechanical pencils. (.5) and proceeded to melt the interiors completely and trip the breaker the lamp was on. Annoyed everyone, somehow managed not to kill myself, made pretty light show until the lead burned down to the metal tip of the pencil.
Very not safe, but very entertaining.
messed up the radio pretty bad for a few seconds too:)
Ah, to be a child again and not realized I could've gotten killed doing that. (I honestly thought the air and plastic were enough insulation)
I continues to amuse me that no has come to realize that the Mark of Cain is simply white skin. (i.e. albinism) What other kind of mark would be instantly recognizable from a distance from any direction?

If only we spent as much time training drivers as we do pilots.

But they certainly cannot pay you without that info.
