Who set these limits anyway? How is anybody going to brute force a password within a few tries. The combinations for a 8 character pass are massive. Something more reasonable would be 50 for a timeout and reoccurance for a lockout.
I'm 24 and I used to be an avid gamer as a kid through teens. Now I find myself rarely gaming, instead I stream movies on netflix with PS3 when I'm not reading or with buddies. I don't use my computer for games anymore partly because it's outdated and mostly because I'm not interested.
I've noticed I seem to have better control over myself in general since I've began meditating; It's a very rewarding activity. Have you noticed any increase in lucid dreaming by chance?
A different question may be: do you really want to replace a fully functional platform for an app ridden one? The ability to print effectively shouldn't cost you $9.99. As awesome as tablets are I wouldn't recommend using one for everything.
Anyone who meditates effectively for any length of time can attest to the fact that the brain can change quite dramatically as a result of what you do with it. Things that I did not even know were possible have happened to me as a result of it, and not in a subtle way, either.
It can be said certainly that your mind changes. How that is shown in neuroscience may be altogether different. Scanning techniques really aren't sufficient to create a complete Physicalist explanation (if there is one). For now we have to rely on MRI/fMRI blood flow and indirect methods. I imagine there will be much interesting philosophical and theoretical debate after better scanners arise.
Well, neural plasticity does slow down considerably after early adulthood. I imagine you're responding to the theory that plasticity simply halted after childhood, which has been disproven many times. Neuroscience is a complex field that ties Philosophy of Mind, Psychology, Neurology etc together. It's hard to make any lasting broad statements about the brain and how it works.
That's actually pretty interesting; what if some of these sticks were left intentionally. First, I wouldn't expect a USB stick to have malware. Second, I wouldn't feel bad about using a USB stick that somebody lost (they're mostly cheap and replacable). Arguably, that could be a good attack vector even for tech savy people.
One interesting aspect of the results was that based on their data and formatting seven of the infected storage devices belonged to Mac OS X users or had been extensively used under this OS.
Our bodies continue to amaze me. So complex systems, so adaptable and flexible. And the second amazing part is of course that we are able to "see" those molecular processes, can figure out how it happens, and subsequently manipulate it.
And of course this complexity and flexibility is not limited to the human body but basically all life forms on this planet. The more we learn about life, the more amazing it becomes.
We're never able to grasp anything in the body completely. We had detailed maps of anatomy in the middle ages, but we had no proper theory on how the body worked. Most of us look back at the four humors (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humorism/) and laugh. Agreed, biology is amazing.

Then you can use the actual password on the on-screen keyboard. The picture password is just an optional convenience feature.
Thank you for being a sensible person. :) Not everybody needs a 12800000 bit security system to get into their windows touch screen device.
Actually, as long as you regularly update with the server it doesn' t matter. I used dyndns for quite a while years back.
I would recommend using an auto updater such as the one recommended on the dyndns.org site. http://dyn.com/support/clients/

I don't know about you guys, but I saw a huge pair of space tits.
Silly Command and Conquer Red Alert references.
The tiny crystals, which are 100,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair
Think of what resolution sizes we can get with pixels in this scale.

If you have trained extensively in one area how long would it take to switch to something else?
I would hope that skills you learn in any given field are complementary to others. Think of the polymaths. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymath

Voyager 1 is travelling at just under 11 miles per second and sending information from nearly 11 billion miles away from the sun.
This reminds me of just how big space is. What absurd distances we're talking about now. I can't be but at awe and terror when I think of the stars.

Imagine if it were illegal to reformat your harddrive on your PC.
