Well it resembles one also due to the massive deflation it was having.
People who received it early and cashed out made lots of money. Post-crash the people left holding are screwed (especially as they accepted it at a high value).
Even a public admission, with a bullshit explanation would be nice.
It would be easy enough to say, blah blah terrorists, warrentless wiretapping was good, and everybody that knows about policy has been a lobbyist, I was naive.
The thing is, the platform was opposite of things like this.
Just like on issues of transparency and warrant-less wiretaps, we were lied to.
And if the response is well you should know he's a lier, than voting is worthless, and it has nothing to do with ignorance, just corruption. There is no reason to assume third parties would be any more honest that I can think of.
I give Obama a pass on Iraq, as he said "we'll pull out as soon as it's done, not a moment sooner" which is kind of the same as McCain saying "we'll stay until it's done, even if it takes 100 years" (note, both were paraphrased, not real quotes).
But Obama said he would investigate the telecoms, he would increase transparency, stop revolving door lobbyists, on all three issues he reversed. Anybody can do that, and there is no way to know who.
I'd be willing to bet plenty of the "computer literate" type do. It's not that hard to follow step by step directions.
I suspect many do it for free/reduced price apps from shady sources even.
The type of person that said ie7 was essentially Firefox at the office (they were digging the tabs, which I guess made them somewhat similar at a glance. The type with 10s of thousands of dollars of software on their computer that they don't even vaguely know how to use. Pretty much anyone with 'lite skillz would be a pretty easy target for this I bet.
Hell, it makes me nervous to know that an app can bypass the permissions granting on my phone, it's kind of a big deal.
They need to be able to distribute the key too though, as the web interface allows a log-in from everywhere.
It could I suppose generate the key client side, then encrypt the key with the password, then send that to the server.
I don't know how much can be done in pure HTML, but it sounds impractical to have the web interface without using some sort of applet on the client side for file browsing and decrypting, is it possible to decrypt a download using only HTML/JS, how about the file browser itself (though meta data could be sent separately from the client and stored unecrypted).
I think it would alter the nature of the product significantly if all data was stored that way (applets on web browsers, or no web browser), though, an option for a secure folder that was inaccessible by web would work well, as with an actual application you could do whatever you wanted.
I think any user that has seen this page should know they can access your account (even if the software they wrote doesn't let them at the moment, the pieces are there).
So many times do I shock and amaze when coming into a small temporary office (read no DNS) and amaze when I am printing in less than a minute (nmap -p9100 192.168.0.2-254, and laser writer driver FTW).
Also used it a lot in an office with static IPs and VNC, where I was too lazy to write-down/memorize IP addresses for computers.
My real issue is that with software a workable machine can be included with no space (source code), but then we bump into the execution is actually protected for over a century.
Clearly methods in software are different than mechanics, as copyright law applies, so we need to throw out the patents, or the copyright (but I bet hat would make people even more upset).
I signed the same thing, but in my state they still require probably cause (even though it's been signed that they don't).
This can be: 1) admitting to having even a sip 2) being really totally hammered 3) a traffic violation
The procedure at a check point is to say no, had nothing to drink, without opening the window past a crack. Then to refuse the test if they ask (generally they will not if you answer no, and aren't really dangerous drunk). You may spend a night in a cell for refusal, but there are dozens of lawyers that will get you off for under $1500, the cost of blowing a.09 and fighting the ticket (which will generally work), is around $4800. If you break.12 you're pretty much screwed.
Assuming the one in a million number is for certain death (and it woul.dn't be, It would be one in 1000 of those one in a million cases I suspect), and there are 500 seats (747), times 3 devices per person, we get a 1500/1000000 chance per flight.
1 in 1000 is a little steep for my taste, but if the assumption about only one in 1000 of those devices being a big deal, than I would gladly take the odds (one in a million vs boredom over 10 hours).
WRT OJ, I would say it encouraged them to hit a proper (in the legal sense) verdict, even though the guy was obviously guilty, and it probably made them miserable to do so.
I've worked in a trial in Delaware Chancellery Court that did this, it was pretty cool.
Additionally any time over 50 pixels changed on the document display (which was either from a document camera or a laptop feed) a screen shot was taken.
In real time you could watch both, and then about 6pm you could get the video and a timed power point display. It was nice. New Jersey has videos of the proceedings available in the high-tech court rooms too.
I think the fear that the courts have is that the official record is no longer typed, which could make every step of the appeals process take longer, though I would HOPE they are more afraid of inaccuracies being made fact.
I was personally shocked in Delaware when they allowed it, as phones/laptops with cameras, and recording devices were strictly prohibited, yet it was being broadcast over the internet (free to Delaware residence), and available for purchase each night. It would be synced to the official transcript so you could text search the official transcript and jump to the correct place of the video, though often that file wasn't available until as late as 9pm.
This was in late '04, New Jersey was offering videos (without any extra services, such as searchable text and presented exhibits) when i was there in late '09, I don't know how long it has been available for. It was though, a part of what's a available naturally there for any trial in that specific courtroom, and they sell the DVD's for a very low price, where in Delaware it was a big expensive to do (still cheaper than flying people around to let the home office see what was going on).

Perhaps they received too many to be able to cash them out.
Well it resembles one also due to the massive deflation it was having.

Also, early in meant cheapest to mine.
If you can only pull out $1000 worth, and you expect it to rebound, devaluing is good, you get to pull more coins.
Honestly, it sounds like the company made back it's money, and cancelled in time.
I mean, it was only a week, and only 2 days of abuse. The first three days appeared to pay off, and things were better in the code-base going forward.
Even a public admission, with a bullshit explanation would be nice.

Yeah, as an american it pisses me off that we fund so much, essentially subsidizing european socialism.
We need to cut back way big on the military, and let countries like germany have one.
how has this not been settled with missiles yet?

This is a big deal if it sticks. If governments are prevented from loaning money to big business, things will change signifigently.
Any number of products could become non-exportable (GM cars for example)
No, only custom designed equipment to get them to the shower

How about receive e-mails?
I would think the ability to reset almost any password would be pretty strong (access to SMS + E-mail gets you into a lot).
nmap is the most useful tool ever though.

Nuclear power that has no risk of doing serious damage to many square miles of your country is as safe as any other.
It's not even hyprocacy, France chooses to profit from the risk, Italy chooses to spend more for power, but not take the risk, everyone wins.

I would hope there is a web interface too.
But I personally like having a folder on my computer that syncs with the cloud, and my other computers.
that requires more than simply a web interface, and lines need to be drawn with what will and will not be supported.
I think the line between local and remote for cloud services can be drawn in a few places.
and there should be a web only version, but it gets better with some stuff on the client side. Take Picassa or DropBox as examples.
I signed the same thing, but in my state they still require probably cause (even though it's been signed that they don't).

Still safer per mile than a car.
Shame on me, i had no idea.
A whole city is so dramatic until one is schooled that it is in the boony's
Sidebars would not be part of the video available to the public, just as they are not part of the transcript available to the public.
That was easy.

1962 - still on fire.
Perhaps self-drive and not the doing would be a better defining characteristic.
I concede that when I get lost in a net of wikipaedia links on a subject, I would describe it as geeking, and it certainly isn't doing.
Definitely the self-driven, and though that doesn't preclude schooling as a pursuit of knowledge, it doesn't require it either.
