Consider that we provide children a special status in our society. We consider children to be persons and afford them rights as such. Yet we do not hold them accountable for murder in the same way we do for human adults. Giving a chimp the status person does not mean we have to give them the same rights as human adults.
It is considered good practice to encrypt your private key with a passphrase. Then even if your private key is compromised it cannot be decrypted without the passphrase in your head.
1) Buy a set of credit card numbers.
2) Try to buy more credit card numbers with the numbers you purchased in 1.
3) Sell new numbers.
4) Repeat and profit...
Are you running minecraft as an applet in the java browser plugin? If not you are not exposing your self to any of the vulnerabilities that have recently been described regarding java. The problem is with the browser plugin, not with Java or the JVM.
Who uses the email service provided by their ISP anymore?
How may times have you received the email "I changed my ISP so this is my new email address"?
If you are using the email service provided by your ISP you are doing it wrong.
I have been installing linux on the desktop for the last 12 years and some things are just as broken now as they were then.
For example:
I have never, and I mean never, in the last 12 years had the mic work after initial install of any distribution on a laptop. This wan't such a big deal 10 years ago but these days it is a deal breaker.
I should never have to edit my xorg.conf file in order to get my desktop working properly. The number of times I have updated a Linux OS and it broke what ever graphics driver I had installed and I am dumped at a command prompt on reboot. The graphical desktop needs to always work.
I would love to have a choice of what language to use when writing client side code. JavaScript gets the job done and it is far from ideal. Even Crockford recognizes that JavaScript contains many mistakes in its implementation.
Clearly as the same search back end is being used by both bing and yahoo it has nothing to do with the search results.
Back in the 90s I stopped using yahoo. There were a few reason and one was the main search page was cluttered an ugly and googles was not. I think this is still true. Bing's growth probably has a lot to do with being the default search in MS products and the yahoo search page looking like it came from1996 doesn't help matters. That yahoo logo is a piece of junk that looks like it was made with MS word art.
What is in that 2TB of data? A human genome only takes up 750MB. (A base may hold 1 of 4 values A, C, G and T. So each base can be represented with 2 bits. 2 bits * 3 billion = 750MB)
From the article "There will probably be 30,000 human genomes sequenced by the end of this year". 750MB*30,000 = 2.813 TB (terabytes).
So we can store all sequenced genomes so far on a single 3TB HDD. You can pick one up from newegg for less than 250 USD.
From the article "three billion bases of DNA in a set of human chromosomes".

Not only do you have to understand the problem in hand, you have to understand how the prior programmer understood the problem.
That passphrase would usually be digested into a 128 or 256bit secret key and the private key would then be encrypted with AES. Safe and sound.

I couldn't agree more. I have poor eyesight and grey text on grey background is practically unreadable for me. Please don't do it.
Please don't do this. I have poor eye sight and grey background for the text makes the site practically unreadable for me.

That is the point I was trying to make.
Correction that total is 22.5 TB.
