The video starts out saying that increased encryption is needed thanks in part to warrantless government surveillance. It then goes on to describe a system that assumes no MITM attacks can exist. The fact is, however, that governments are entirely capable of performing MITM attacks, as can telecommunications companies; and if it becomes popular we may see more techniques that allow individuals to perform MITM attacks. While this algorithm has significant merit, care needs to be taken to avoid a false sense of security.
But then you submit the same words to several different people and use statistics to pick the most likely answer - and forward entries with no likely answer to someone hired to do it.
It's very likely that the manual entry being done now is being done redundantly and then compared to find errors (and choose the best data entry operators).
As Ebay increases restrictions they're increasingly excluding their own customer base. Where are these people going instead? Another comment mentioned Craigslist; and there are specialty auction sites (gunbroker.com is one I'm familiar with) that handle categories Ebay specifically excludes. But are there any general auction sites that are getting more popular as Ebay declines?
I'm a very paranoid person, and I use ROT104 encryption on all my important data. Yeah, it may be overkill, but my computer does it so quickly I barely notice it happening.
SRSLY, I'm a big fan of ubiquitous encryption, and this may work to jumpstart it.
But that's not the point I was making. HDCDs may sound better - to audiophiles, but plain old CDs are perfectly capable of containing listenable music. The question is whether quality on CDs is being deliberately degraded in order to push other formats.
Are they still trying to market "high-definition compact discs"? We could be seeing this as deliberate downgrading in order to push more expensive and less rippable versions. I wonder what the iTunes version sounds like?
Looks like I'm going to have to reply to myself, since pretty much everyone responding misread my point.
I am actually very fond of the idea of using independent processes to perform a task; it reduces code complexity enormously, making tasks more elegant and less prone to bugs - and also significantly raises the resources required. Multithreading raises resource use, though less so than multiprocessing, but often causes complications that surpass even single-threaded coding. I like Google Chrome's model (and only uninstalled it because of its obnoxious updater).
Someday, soon I hope, we will have machines with dozens of processors and terabytes of memory that will blow the hell out of the single-thread paradigm. Until EVERY general-purpose computer has reached that level, however, there will still be room for more efficient codebases. I just bought a computer with "only" a gigabyte of RAM (Eee PC), and I doubt handhelds will routinely reach past a gig for years yet. Until then Firefox should hang around.
Why is Gecko worth keeping if it is outdated and bloated?
Because it's bloated as a single app, but less bloated then opening up a new process (or more than one!) for every single web page loaded. Until every computer in use has multi-gigabyte memory, including handheld devices, there will be a need for something lighter than webkit
But the big opportunity for IT is to take a leadership role in tackling that other 98 percent across the business...
That's not my yob...
Seriously, that's like suggesting the HR department take on increasing power efficiency. When you blow compartmentalization like that all sorts of nasty things happen. It's like letting the programmers work directly with the clients; you're guaranteed to go bankrupt in months.
On the other hand, I can just picture what happens next: A new department. "Say hi to the new carbon-compliance officer!" [facepalm]

What do you mean by "now limited"? If you don't have a quota and aren't using it, and it helps you download faster... Why not?
If you're limited by quota, or are busy serving for other purposes, then the direct download links are right there.
...BitTorrent links to the full install CDs?
That'd take a huge load off their servers...
And what if you made/purchased that shirt/jacket *before* the Feds stole the trademark? Are you supposed to have to provide proof of purchase?
When you mentioned this, I started Googling around but couldn't find any sources for them. Got any favorites?
I don't know what's scarier, that Katz's cow drawing has too many nipples - or that I noticed the discrepancy...
So this process makes the material 100-500X more sensitive than plain silicon.
And current solar cells are about 10% efficient.
That means we'll have solar cells that are 1000% to 5000% efficient! That's phenomenal!
You know, I just realized that before the main content was loaded the page flashed "WE CAN SOLVE THE ULTIMATE CRISIS".
Yeah, this article - and the site - may just be a teeny bit slanted.
At least the server didn't collapse under the crushing weight of mighty Slashdot...

I suppose it depends on how you go about it; correcting specific errors may require more therbligs than typing the entire words.
So, they're offering to pay you to go fork yourself?
Call me in 20 years when they're in production. Seems it always takes that long for these innovations to get to market nowadays.
Google "revision control".

That's the ticket, an auto-karaoke machine!

(And no, don't tell me to buy it and see. :-P )
No, it's true, but you have to stick to their older work.
I'm certain there is quite a bit of interesting information that's been excised from still-existing topics that should also be explored.

Yes, both Nickel and Lithium can be separated electrolytically, recovered as pure metals, and then recycled as new batteries.
I'm more worried about the Lithium batteries recycling themselves explosively while I'm driving the vehicle!
