Fractal Image Format was compression that used self-similar parts of the same image to decopress to higher resolution

If they're lost nearby, why can't they work like those keyfinder tags? The phone sends a BT command that turns them into a bluetooth beacon. An app then shows the signal strength and you get to play "hotter or colder" while waving your phone around.
The patent describes the HUD as being a transparent display over a hole/window in the device. I can't see that being very likely in the near future. Either the hole is too small to see much through, or the window takes up a big portion of the phone. You can't hold a small window up to the eye and still focus on the display, unless it uses some sort of lightfield display. AR isn't as simple as a see-through display.
Well if they get compromised it shouldn't be a problem, as they don't store anything to do with your password. All decryption is done client-side.
If your computer has a keylogger or you're tricked into entering your lastpass password into a fake login page or something, then yes, you've just opened up all your passwords in one go.
The slowness is in the procedure more than system response.
With the old system I would swipe my card at any point while my purchases were being scanned, type in my PIN a second or two after and put away my card. When the total was ready I would confirm it.
Now I insert my card and have to wait until the bill is totalled before confirming the amount and typing my PIN. It does seem slower to respond, too, but it's mostly annoying because my card is sat in the machine for longer. This results in a much longer time that I'm holding my wallet in one hand, or have to put it away and get it out again.
Also it's never clear whether the card reader will accept it (some are still swipe-only, some claim to read the chip but fail, sometimes I'm asked if it is debit or credit before being told what to do).
I wouldn't mind if it was more secure but I've heard that the chip simply sends a confirmation that the PIN was correct, no unforgeable challenge/response design.
When I tried using Android Pay earlier this year, I had similar problems of terminals that claimed to support it but didn't, although recently it's been more reliable and I've used it as a fallback when chip+PIN fails to work correctly.
Chip+PIN should be more secure and should be as effortless as swipe+PIN, but right now it doesn't seem to live up to that.
Some website services require you to provide your password to some other site to work. For example, email filtering or some finance sites.
I know that when done correctly the site provides an authentication token, but the old-style approach was to just require you to provide your mail or bank's password.

American Gods isn't really a good example, the book dates from 2001.
HBO Go is a streaming service that comes with the cable package, but HBO Now is the standalone version that requires no cable.

> PC1211 Yes, me too! I almost bought a ZX-81, but was tempted by the idea of a pocket device that could run BASIC.
So "the bug just went away by itself".
I can see how this happened:
- "Okay, I've typed the shutdown commnand, now what was the name of the PBX server?"
- "Asterisk"

I'm not sure if UberEats does burritos.
I don't suppose that the $16 a month that they charge just for having an account with them is part of the scam?
Lawyers should have to change sides at half-time, like in a soccer game.
This could mean the end of all those other delivery methods that do away with the inefficient driver/vehicle approach, such as rocket mail

I'm hoping that advances in genetic engineering will allow us to finally realize Ford's dream of building a better horse.
And wouldn't this mean that Apple would vigorously prevent Android phones from having this 'feature'?
I have the opposite problem - I'd have to decide whether to give them my Google+ or Diaspora account.
