Well, if they actually get to see the device in the same room as them, I'm sure something will shoot. I'm pretty sure it's not crap, but I'm equally certain it isn't congealed coffee creamer, either.
It's PGP, not PHP, and a key for it is something you generate on your own, not something someone else generates. You might want to brush up on public key cryptography.

don't invade Iraq looking for WMD you KNOW aren't there.
O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada,
We stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
Tell your boss he has no right to dictate to you what political party you support, who you fraternize with off hours, or what personal belngings you bring with you to work. He DOES NOT OWN YOU.
Portland Public Schools and TriMet: Sign the damn labour contract so we don't have a Portland without transit or school busses! I like not having to drive home from work when I'm tired.
And why I avoid the Interstate Drawbridge at all costs, since ODOT won't raise it at rush hour, even though traffic doesn't move at rush hour save for the HOV lane anyway. After rush hour, shipping traffic needs the river, so I-5 now doesn't get to move, even once the road ahead has space for cars to move to. If only I-5 worked like this at the Californian border instead of with a friendly state...
Hey, Fort Vancouver! Stop pretending your toy transit system can actually do anything and quit voting down every opportunity to sign on to something that works! Just remember, Red and Yellow would have made a loop past SR-500 by now and we all would be getting across the river a lot faster if you just voted "Yes, please let Oregon build us Washingtonians a transit system on their dollar," instead of "NO! We're NOT PORTLAND dammit!" three times running...
Follow-up: can Red Hat or Novell or somebody please offer a certification logo program for some of these cards? You know, a sticker that you can find on the boxes in CompUSA or something, which says that it's not going to be a stink to get running on Linux?
Wrong question. Better question: Can a vendor-neutral consortium please offer the same.
Similarly, many US states use the SSN as a driver's license number, and all of them collect the SSN in keep it in their databases.
No, not at all. Oregon DMV has never asked for my social security number. And given Oregon's general political opposition to federal rule, likely never will except as required for commercial driver's licences (heavy weight/combinations/super-high occupancy vehicles).
No point in making a web browser use the same keys for navigation as for itself. Too bad only the KDE developers have really thought this through so far.
Because of this, the only browser to properly implement it so far is Konqueror. Press control, and access key labels appear over the appropriate links. Press that key.
Bend has absorbed Madras as a suburb, making it a metropolis. Eugene did the same to Springfield. Salem to Kaiser. Portland to Beaverton, Vancouver, Gresham, West Linn, Oregon City, Tigard, Tualatin, Wood Village, and Troutdale.
Try to keep from voting, too, for those of us who like the weather but hate the back-asswards idea of "Progressive" in this state.
Go back to California or stop acting Californian. Take your pick.
Another problem with the mandate: In places where traditional plumbing is typical but traditional toilets are unavailable (Oregon), you're stuck replacing your broken PowerFlush 9000 with a toilet incapable of clearing the bowl on the first flush, or push all that stuff to the street line at all.
Anybody who has had a low flush toilet in a house built prior to the introduction of low flush toilets (almost everyone) has this problem, which will usually come to a critical point while entertaining guests during the holidays. This happened to us. The low flush toilet would supply enough water to flush wastewater to the main sewer line, but solid waste just kept building up until it backed up into the kitchen and bathroom sinks, as well as the bathtub, on Christmas Eve while entertaining guests about 5 years ago. The plumber's bill was astronomical.
We went out of state, bought a real toilet, took the low flow toilet out back and smashed it to tiny bits with a sledgehammer in revenge.
If they have any interest in achieving their goal, shouldn't they be sending a loud message to the rest of the world, inviting like-minded individuals to come live there instead? Or perhaps convince their neighbors to read a newspaper?
It happened to Oregon. It's why there's now more Californians in Oregon than Oregonians in Oregon. A couple Californians moved in, then invited all their cockroach like neighbors to move in and Valley it up a bit in every major city we have. Now many parts of larger metro areas are practical carbon copies of Los Angeles neighborhoods, right down to the same desert-sand paint jobs on *everything*.
What you advocate destroys regional cultures. If you move, you do as the Romans do, you don't convince all your friends to make it just like the shithole you moved from and ruin it for the locals that so graciously haven't killed you for showing up.
You owe Ontario an apology for comparing them to California in any way, shape or form. At least in Oregon, the observation would be fighting words.
Anyone with a map can show you that Ontario's southernmost point is roughly even with Klamath Falls, Oregon, over 30 minutes drive from America's only state cum idiot asylum.
The fact is, Canadians that I've known bitch more about their government (with good reason, they vote for parties, not candidates in the national election) than Americans, and that is saying alot.
At least they get to vote by proxy. When was the last time you voted for president? (Hint: Unless you're one of less than 300 people who are part of the Electoral College, the answer is you never have, and you never will under status quo)
Health care, blah blah...it's not like your system is perfect. Besides, Americans are too smart for free health care, we'd learn how to work the system. That's the thing...Americans are too smart to let some bastard in an office in some far away city to make their decisions for them.
You're right. Instead, we prefer sheer inertia and smooth-lobed Californian thinking to make sure anybody seriously ill puts their children's children in debt, then when states like Oregon decide that if it's humane to put down an animal, it's humane to put down Grandma to save the pain and expense, the US tries to stop it. Whatever happened to the 10th Amendment? What good is a federal constitution if the federal government's just gonna wipe its ass with it right in front of you?
As for your fascist point...you're wrong. Fundamentalist Mormons that are driven out of local communities in America for practicing poligamy move to where??? Canada...because it is tolerant of bigamy and child slavery i guess...where's your liberal high horse now???
Wow, what and how much do you have to smoke to find that out?
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Canada is the modern nation it is today because of America.
If it weren't for the British, neither would be here. The two territories mutually benefitted technologically, Canada just didn't forget about the people that make it possible along the way. Why you think a little collective compassion is something to be held against them is beyond me. They had more influence on both countries than most Americans are comfortable admitting. But we're not speaking Spanish yet, now are we?
Usenet gets more miles today than ever before. As of January 1998, 12 GB of new traffic hit Usenet each day (source: altopia.com). As of March 8, 2005, new traffic volume was up to 1.87 TB per day (source: newsreader.com). Anybody can look this up. The only reason you don't notice it is because many recent Usenet users call it Google Groups, ironically probably not even seeing Google's own timeline of events.
Fortunately, most of these new users seem to be ignorant of the history and not necessarily becoming a tsunami of stupid like AOL did. If Google did to Usenet what AOL did to Usenet, December 11th would be considered a creepy Usenet parallel to what happened just two months prior to the day, the same year.
I'm surprised this isn't an Ask Slashdot question, because that's normally the category questions with bleeding obvious answers like this one are asked.
The only right answer? Zero.
The third format, Ms-RL (Microsoft Reference License), "has no open-source alternative and is a reference-only license that allows licensees to view source code in order to gain a deeper understanding of the inner workings of Microsoft technology."
Umm, duh! Because what you describe is the exact opposite of the definition of "open," so how could there possibly be an open source equivelant to such an ass-backwards, harmful concept?

It looks like one of those aluminum motor homes from the 50s
I thought it looked more like one of those fancy terra cotta flower pots you can buy along the highway in Mexican border towns for a couple bucks a piece.
It looks like it can barely support its own weight. Granted, gravity is very weak in orbit, blah blah blah, but doesn't this thing get strapped to the top of a rocket?
Forgot 8th grade science? It's a dome, the strongest known shape.
It's got burn marks all over it
Compare to Apollo landings and the space shuttle. They're not exactly having to paint those tiles black, you know.
And no apparent heat shielding
Probably because it's sitting on it. You don't see the heat shield on the Apollo capsules except from below.
The parachute detaches before it hits the ground!?
