then any answer to that question will also be flawed
To me, it seems like Ask Slashdot doesn't give a whole lot of room for context - so really the person with the clearest view of their needs and the issues involved - is the person asking the question.
The idea of "flawed" logic here doesn't seem quite right to me.
Not that Mr. Stephenson was the first to say it, but I _hate_ it when people make up their own 'laws' without checking to see if there's something equivalent out there.
I thought of one, I'll call it "Hubert's law":
"Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily."
I believe Schneier also makes the point that because the NSA is an information sink, and that public discussion of crypto hadn't really caught on till the 80's, that they do have a significant lead.
I think this is illuminated well here, where he asks that the NSA submit an entry for the AES -- the reason? Because they needed at least one good candidate. That's fairly high praise, sight unseen. No pun.;)
now if they'd only rerelease micro cornucopia... man, that was a great magazine.
it had Bruce Eckel before he was cool... and i quote: "the best computer magazine ever published - they even had plans for building a robot in a flower pot!"
everything a growing boy needed! my dad took me out to Bend, OR once to see the "publishing centre". they were burning chips and looked at us weird, like: "you could have gone to rushmore or something, and instead you're watching us blow eproms in big old bean cans?". what a childhood!
is it just me, or has it been "nostalgia monday" here?
I used to do tech for M$, and their version of SPA is an unpublished "standard". it's not that it's any more secure - though that's what they try to imply. as far as I know, NO mail client but outlook or OE will recieve MSN POP3 email. you can always "roll it forward" to web-based, though. which leaves you with a shoddy hotmail accnt., which in the end, is perfect for leaving as a spam-hole for slashdot...
Why not just learn a new way to remember phone numbers, email addresses, etc? This is what mnemonics were made for! Uber geeks can laugh that they'll never be without their PDA, but hey.
Why does Linux have to be "at war"... I mean, that and this guy's obvious slant... He claims there's no photoshop on Linux... Huh? I don't think he realizes that the rules of business don't apply here.
Case in point - was discussing this article w/ a guy at work who's Linux ignorant (not dumb, or anything - just doesn't know much about it) -- He: Oh I agree with the article, I mean, if Linux were ANYTHING... a blip on the radar screen, don't you think M$ would have bought it like THAT?
That's what this article reminds me of. Someone got pissed somewhere along the line, and now we're losing the war.
Guess it's time for me to stop using Linux because I appreciate it philosophically as well as technically.
Any gun enthusiast might tell you that guns (tools) don't kill people, people do.
Now, if you're willing to accept that, then talk about the system for face recognition, carnivore, etc - is just ad machina. Kind of niggling.
What needs to be more seriously weighed is the people with their fingers on the buttons, eyes on the screen, handcuffs in their belt.
And I'm not so sure I entirely trust them to hold still with their proposals. It's a slippery slope. Again, as any gun enthusiast might tell you.
Once a infrastructure is in place, it's much harder to get people to stand up and protest it. I think that's what people against these kinds of things have in mind.

De Gustibus non est Disputandum.
Actually, I have some experience with this, step aside.
What he's describing is actually called a "plug", which is where power enters the cabinet.
I've found them rather hard to pull out without the right equipment, but then I found something that did the trick: parallel pliers.
HTH.
Hear hear!

Oh wait.

I don't know... If the LED doesn't light you say "I need to reverse the leads". Now, that doesn't make any sense. Also, what's a "soder"?

More cool. Yes, from the fiery bowels of
mess supports kaypro emulation - kaypro was a CP/M machine.
for this triumph, i want all your copies of micro cornucopia and foglight!

lovemonkeys!
i'm not surprised.
it's happened before with some decent results.
though i haven't checked it on wine...
i think we need to encourage this sort of thing, get back to the roots, you know?
this was reported on several months ago here let the flaming begin!
How about using transparancy markers to mark off where you'll plonk down the pictures, then calibrate a script to snip/rotate/whatever the pieces?
wonk!

Excercise your skepticism. We need more of that.
Send in the spicy!
