Frankly Covey Daily Planner which uses the "Getting Things Done" methodology. Technology isn't always the best thing! It works because it's effective, and, when you're working in your planner you're not distracted by anything else be it email, websites, etc...
Your primary objective when planning is to have a singular focus on your tasks to prioritize them and follow-up on them. In my opinion, that is easier to do when you have a singular item devoted to that planning that is physical in nature.
That being said, if you absolutely want something on your computer. Check out Taskwarrior, it's open source and is based on the "Getting Things Done" methodology as well.
Too true that Netflix doesn't need to offer this, with this ruling that point is even backed-up. But, can any internet based service these days really do anything that's considered a "dick-move"? The people are fickle, and "bad news" travels a heck of a lot faster these days than it did in the past.
Frankly, I think it's a heck of a risk to fight it. They're probably going to end up putting it in anyways.
I would like to echo what the above poster said. The field of security is soooo large, to find someone that knows everything off the top of their head is asking quite alot. Granted there are those out there that can give you the exact rundown of how everything from PKI to Cryptokey works...
But, they're rare and you're going to have to search for a long time to find them and then once you do you'll probably need to pay a premium for them. On top of that you'll need to make sure you give them enough of a challenge every day so they can maintain that level of knowledge. As we all know, if you don't use it, you forget it. I happen to work in the field you're describing and I know I've forgotten enough to fill the Grand Canyon a couple times over.
That being said, encrypting an email is pretty general information, any architect in IS should probably know that.
You may want to look into getting a dog. They're more reliable than a 2 year old with a panic button. I get what you're thinking and it's good that you want to watch out for your family, but, I think a proactive approach may be wiser here.
I read about these guys, it may be something you want to look into. These dogs have the ability to detect a seizure is coming before it happens.
It's good to see and a definite short term benefit will be realized. Lord knows it cuts down on our commute cost. I think one thing that would need to be addressed is the absolute need for most families in rural areas to have more than 1 vehicle.
I live in small-town Minnesota and I don't know any family that only has 1 vehicle. I think the only way we could do this is to really push a paradigm shift to where companies push more for moving their work-force home where possible. This has been done somewhat, but, we see many companies moving their workforce back to the office too. Frankly, I feel office-work is economically a bad choice, ecologically irresponsible, & doesn't foster work-life balance.
Granted, this won't be a home-run as far as reduction... but, every bit helps!
I did, but, I guess I didn't feel that I needed to lay everything out.:) Folks aren't allowed to sign-up unless they're 13 or over, but, all you would need to do is have a weekly, or even a daily process that would synch those online flags with the actual offline birthday.
Personal online information

eBay Compromised
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
Just one more company giving one more reason why corporations should not be allowed to store personal information beyond what is absolutely necessary. Birthday would not necessarily need to be stored anyplace directly accessible, unless it was legally required but could instead be replaced by a flag for "above 13", "above 18", "above 21". If they absolutely needed to have the birthday for representation or audit purposes it could be stored in an offline version that could be brought online as needed.
In the end, efficiency was prioritized over the need to secure personally identifiable information (PII). eBay should not have stored so much PII in the same database, it should have been stored separately and linked on retrieval.
Sadly, security requirements being ignored or missed during design is a commonplace occurrence and they don't get fixed until something like this brings them to light.
The technical prowess of the crowd that contributes to this site is far above most other sites. The site looks like it was made with Wordpress, this is/. it should be better than that. Granted the old site was too, but, at least the story previews were more compact so you could more easily scan the articles. Also, it's hard to tell the subject line from the comment area, they should be more easily distinguished.
Why do I never have moderator points when I need them! Well said... and in regards to the investment reply. I understand what you're saying, but, the greatest investment a country can make is an investment that raises the standards of human life.
If they can reduce the fraud which will in turn allow them to place that money into much needed hands or re-appropriate that money into making lives better... Well, I don't think it matters how many people it actually gets off of welfare, it's stitching the gash vs. cleaning the scrape.
Why your bank? They're using Java because it isn't going anywhere soon. It's highly integrated all over the place and is leading the way as the language of choice for everything from big-data processing a'la MapReduce frameworks in Hadoop to Mom & Pop shops just looking for a new college grad to put together something for their needs.
Dislike your bank because they're not treating you like their most important customer, not because they're using Java. =)
Jacque Freso has been preaching this for at least 50 years now.
His thoughts and ideas are very interesting, if you like futurists he's one to read up on. He also has a documentary called Future By Design which is available streaming on Netflix if you've got that.
No doubt, excellent answers!
We should do them one in turn as well.
I think it's important to note that there's a petition on Change.org to get the funding of Alcator bumped up on the US Agenda.
Added my support, it's a good thing, maybe others can do the same. We all know how important this is and what it would do for the world.

Actually she didn't look that bad. Admiral Grace Hopper was a wonderful woman, innovative, and so damn smart in a simple basic way.
Here's a video of her on when she was on Letterman.:)

Thank you for the reply, very informative. As far as price point, it would be the correct term, price point defines a point in a range of prices. There's two prices $25 & $35, both are low.:)
I'm sure I'm just responding to flamebait... but I'll bite.
Every manager I've had in the past 10 years has been a woman. Matter of fact I just lost out a promotion to a woman. I'm not bitter either, she's just as good as I am and has been with the team longer.
There may be a disparity of women to men in many IT workplaces... but it isn't always the case. Take your stereotypes somewhere else because they don't always apply.

What easier way to do market research to sell? Start a hot-topic discussion among a known entity that has depth in the field.
Everything is marketing these days, more than ever before the old saying rings true.

It's about time we got some reconnaisance on this place, I remember many years ago stories of people fighting the most hellish of beasts here!

That was flippin great!

Living a sedentary life style leads to chair-butt, it's a fact, and proven.
Just look around the cubicle farm. =)
I wish that I had a mod-point for you. That was the most insightful comment I've seen on Slashdot all day.
I'm staying on Windows because if I want to run a game I can and Cygwin handles any direly pressing thing I want to do in *nix.
Do I run a personal webserver? Yes, would I trust it to Windows? Hell no!
Policy don't need a warrant to put a GPS tracker on a car. There's a case being heard by the Supreme Court today that is directly about this. Thanks NPR for the heads up! http://www.npr.org/2011/11/08/142032419/do-police-need-warrants-for-gps-tracking-devices
Thank you for the reply, very informative. As far as price point, it would be the correct term, price point defines a point in a range of prices. There's two prices $25 & $35, both are low. :)
Since the price point on these are so low, what's the feasibility of doing mass grid computing on these machines?
