Wouldn't that still leave you open to keyboard loggers?
If you know that Big Company X has a personal (own) computer policy, you just need to target the low-security personal computing devices of a few employees.
It's an interesting question, because that basically would mean that entrepreneurs can make all the promises they want to geeks, and then they can totally cut out any group representing 49% of the shares.
> If I got stuck on a problem, I would do laundry, wash dishes, rake the yard, anything else that needed doing, and usually a solution would occur to me while I was doing something else.
This. Too many managerial types think that development is just something forced, which it can't, no more than trying harder to force a birth when the baby isn't ready.
Oftentimes, solution just presents itself when your brain has thought it over.
That's the other option, and I used to do that for a long time with Firefox.
These days, I just leave Javascript + plugins turned off in one browser, and on in another for when I need it.
NoScript tends to take up a lot of time in setting the options, Javascript on, Javascript off. Also, I don't usually need to turn on Javascript forever for a whole site. Only usually for a specific page.
Slashdot works fine without Javascript (don't use the newfangled stuff).
Time, NYTimes, many/most other sites are fine without JavaScript.
When you need it, just also use another browser with JavaScript/Java/plugins turned on. I use Chrome for normal browsing, and Chromium when Javascript's needed.
For these folks, catastrophic global warming should be seen as a godsend, and they should be voting for (what is considered) the head-in-the-sand policies of the GOP.
Problem is, if those things are in the center of the road, that's what motorcyclists try to avoid, because that's where all the oil is dripping out of cars stopped for red. Oh, well, nobody cares for motorcycle riders, anyway.
I was under the mistaken impression that it might have been some kind of weight sensor, so I'd be looking for the "perfect" place to rest the motorcycle to trip it.
that all Giggle was doing was recording aspects of the electromagnetic spectrum that was hitting their equipment:
What's the limit to that?
Is it also OK to record faint sound waves emitted from a given StreetView address?
Is it also OK to record GSM cell phone transmissions (recently shown vulnerable to cracking)?
Is it also OK to set up a listening device to log the electromagnetic signature emitted by monitors and keyboards, and then associate that with a given StreetView address in your database?
Would it also be OK to use a high-power lens to record photons leaking beyond a window that you thought you had pulled the curtain on?
Would it also be OK to record infrared heat signatures of building occupants walking around or doing whatever?
And if a "normal" person (not a corporation with cute logo) did all this, wouldn't he be arrested for stalking?
No problem. Given the news that just came out about scientific reproducibility, they just have to do the experiment again in order to not verify (disprove) it.
The difference is in how you organize the corporate structure. For example, the Green Bay Packers are a corporation, but it's structured in a non-profit way that haven't left Green Bay for "greener" pastures.
Well, is it better to have programs doing their randomness on port 80 (or 443)?
And, assuming your sales or other staff are halfway presentable, isn't much better for sales to be able to see your customers and vice versa (if they want to)?
Yeah, bandwidth costs, but how does that compare to the cost of the warm body?
The problem is, it's not always the student himself who is paying.
There are the federal and state governments, and also parents. I was going to say banks, who want a good return on their investment (a student who learns so he'll earn and pay off his debts), but I think the Feds took over student loans.

Really, don't they just have to buy out 50% + 1? Do you have a citation for that? (Not doubting, just would be handy for reference.)

So a priest, a rabbi, and Marc Andreessen walk into a search bar ...
But I still don't know how to change the water filter on a Frigidaire Professional Series.
For some reason, they gave Bing 7 points for that query.
But the first result merely regurgitates the question, then has an ad link for Fixya.com.

>Browsing in Chrome won't save you from this.
Well, in my particular situation, I have Java, plugins, Javascript, etc. turned off for my Chrome installation.
Not claiming that Chrome in itself is more secure (arguable, but I'm not arguing it).
Java, or plugins.

Funny how ideologies overlap.
The move to reduce global warming is (in the US) associated with the left side of the political spectrum, especially with environmentalism.
But there's another strain of thought on the left, also associated with environmentalism: The population control movement, given a boost by Paul Erlich. Even beyond that, there's the voluntary extinction movement.
For these folks, catastrophic global warming should be seen as a godsend, and they should be voting for (what is considered) the head-in-the-sand policies of the GOP.

That's great! Seems obvious in retrospect ...
Thanks for the tips.

Anybody know how to make those things trip if you're on a motorcycle?
Other alternatives (if you're waiting to make a left):
1. Waiting forever.
2. Make a right turn, a u-turn up the road, another right turn, a u-turn, and another right turn.
It's quite pathetic that you haven't gotten modded up yet, because your response is a good and detailed one.
I definitely concede that it's a complicated issue.
On the one hand, I'd like to preserve the right to tinker, including exploring electromagnetic phenomena.
On the other hand, industrial, automated recording of such signals seems to be another kind of insanity.

Your ideas intrigue me, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Yeah, that's the thought that came into my head, too.
Of course, I realize you're aiming for a Funny mod, because:
If it's a phishing site, it doesn't display the photo before login because the real site doesn't either.
Then you give the phisher your password.
Then it logs into the real site with your password, grabs the pic, and displays it at the fake site.
And you believe it to be the real site even more if there hadn't been a buzzword verification measure.
The difference is in how you organize the corporate structure. For example, the Green Bay Packers are a corporation, but it's structured in a non-profit way that haven't left Green Bay for "greener" pastures.
ESD is only a concern if you're on a carpet, right?
Do most DSL providers allow full-scale businesses (in commercial zones instead of SOHO) to buy a consumer Internet connections?
Well, is it better to have programs doing their randomness on port 80 (or 443)?
