    pssh is a very good program.

  2. Re:Social Security, etc... on US Candidates Ignore Looming Debt Crisis · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Social Security is not a personal retirement account.

    It is a social safety net; It is a social pact, a new socal covenant; It is the promise of the Government that when you get old, you will not be homeless and die of hunger. It is not about rich people having more disposable income when they retire. The Rich are not supposed to get the lions share. If you think of Social Security as a safety net then, who gets paid, becomes clear. The people who paid the least get the most, and the people who paid the most get the least. This is the heart of the "New Deal" the new pact between the Government and the People.

    This is a program that, at its heart, is truly Christian (not to say that it doesn't fall well into any other religion, Christian is just what I was raised). This is loving your neighbor. This is helping the poor.

  3. Re:WebDAV or HTTP? on Sending Files w/o Sending Clear Passwords? · · Score: 1

    You don't need a script. There's a standard PUT command in the HTTP spec. If you use windows you can drag and drop files into a netscape window to transfer them up. On a *nix you can use curl (with the --upload-file option). Just make sure it's password protected and you're ready to go.

    My passwords wouldn't be as easy as "asdf" anymore.

  5. Re:Education instead of cushioning. on E-Mail Size Limits? · · Score: 1

    YOU'RE AN ELITIST BASTARD!! How could you say to people that how they use the internet is WRONG. Just because THEEEYY don't know what was created for what and that there's more to the internet than web browsing. Why should they care that the internet was well thought out and that you shouldn't use a hammer to make dove tails. HUH?? WHY??

  6. Re:Google. on Free People Searching Utilities? · · Score: 2, Informative

    the phonebook section of google works wonders.
    on the google frontpage do "phonebook: <name>, <location>" or you could try "phonebook: <phone number>"
    The <name> field doesn't do substring matches, e.g. "steve" won't match "steven" and such.
    Last names work best.

    There's a product from a company called Codefab and thier product seems to be exactly what your looking for. It's called Intent. It's well written and very cross platform.

    Actually you can RSA was patented in the US after being published by MIT, it just can't be patented outside the US.

    watch the US bans the chip as a "threat to Natinal Security".
