Two things: hushmail.com does this. And second, it doesn't really work. If you don't trust your provider (or your connection to the provider) then how do you know your javascript encryption library doesn't have a back door?
I'm sorry my grammar offended you. I thought it would be obvious from context that 311 was a phone hotline and not an interstate highway. I can tell you from experience that calling 311 in both DC and NYC and asking to speak to the police department works just fine.
Having sex with someone while they're asleep is rape. Doing so without a condom after previously agreeing to use a condom during sex just makes it that much worse.
It's went through several revisions as amendments were added and taken away. You're looking at a placeholder title that the house bill had at one point in time.
The final bill is called the "Aviation Safety and Investment Act of 2010"
If the boss won't listen, perhaps you're talking to the wrong person. This company have a legal department? Talk to them and point out the potentially cripplingly liability that the company is subjecting itself to by using pirated software.
I'd start looking for a new job, regardless. The kind of company that is fine with cutting some illegal corners to get the job done is not a good place to work.
1. You're mostly right, though there have been several demostrations of people able to read RFID tags at a significantly greater distance with the right hardware. Google it.
3. Well, obviously the border crossings have a scanner, otherwise what would the point be?
4. That's irrelelvant so long as the RFID is optional. And presumably by the time it is not optional, you'll actually *need* that tag in order to do things.
Very roughly speaking, the Prescriptivists believe the dictionary should tell us what the "right" words are. The Descriptivists believe the dictionary should describe words as people actually use them.
Both sides are valid, I guess, but history is definitely on the side of the Descriptivists.
By the way, some people would consider starting a sentence with "yeah" to be "uneducated."
Unaware? obviously weren't listening during th broadcast. The NBC announcers were talking about how some of the effects were computer enhanced. They specifically said there were "digital pyrotechnics" used during the camera shot that zoomed across the city showing fireworks exploding all around.
The problem isn't really that the candidate got screwed -- he actually did resign form the race, but he missed the deadline after which the ballots were supposed to be finalized.
A pretty minor mistake (if you ask me), but the big deal is that all the machines are supposed to have exactly the same ballot. And they didn't. That's bad.
Randy "The Ethicist" Cohen, writing in the New York Times way back in 2002:
You have no duty to consume advertising. There is no implied agreement between you and the sponsor whereby the sponsor finances a Web site in exchange for your perusing a sales pitch. Advertisers know that many people will flip past a magazine ad or hit ''mute'' when a TV commercial comes on. That you have automated the avoidance of ads shows not ethical laxity but technological ingenuity.
[...]
If no one consumed advertising, it might in theory vanish along with the TV shows and Web sites it finances. However, other means of financing could be found. Public television relies on fund-raising and sponsorship; many European countries finance TV through taxes. Another possible outcome: your embargo raises the quality of ads, if such a thing is possible, so they seize your eye or stay your finger from the mute button.
A likelier prospect, if many follow your lead: online advertisers will develop countertechnology to thwart this blocking. Then you'll overcome their advance, and they'll return to their labs, creating a rivalry like that of early last century when designers of artillery shells vied with designers of battleship armor. Each spurred the other to greater achievements. A result was World War I. O.K., maybe that isn't a happy result, but progress of a sort was made. And without anybody singing about soda pop.
Do you have any evidence that people in oppressed countries need help finding proxies. I'm under the impression that word of functional proxies gets around very well via word of mouth.
Reminds me of the classic video clip of Buzz Aldrin cold-cocking a heckler who accused him of lying. He may be 72, but don't forget he used to be a macho USAF test pilot.
Here at the Phone Company we handle eighty-four billion calls a year. Serving everyone from presidents and kings to scum of the earth. (snort) We realize that every so often you can't get an operator, for no apparent reason your phone goes out of order [snatches plug out of switchboard], or perhaps you get charged for a call you didn't make. We don't care. Watch this [bangs on a switch panel like a cheap piano] just lost Peoria. (snort) You see, this phone system consists of a multibillion-dollar matrix of space-age technology that is so sophisticated, even we can't handle it. But that's your problem, isn't it? Next time you complain about your phone service, why don't you try using two Dixie cups with a string. We don't care. We don't have to. (snort) We're the Phone Company!

It's really not that hard. First hit on googling "opt out ads" is http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp

Seems like you'd be much better off promoting non-emergency hotlines like the 311 in many US cities.
Having sex with someone while they are sleeping (and thus unable to consent) is rape.

No, the last action on the bill was August 5th. The text hasn't changed since March.

Buffer underrun permitting arbitrary code execution != "invisble root account"
You don't know what you're talking about.
Yeah, but all it takes is ONE person to run an email attachment (or exploit some other hole) and then it's on every computer on the LAN
Uh, authentication isn't the problem. The bad guys are running the mail server, not hacking into it.

Well, there are two schools of thought here.

They did, in fact, point out that the footstep scene was "Hollywood-style special effects"
Unaware? obviously weren't listening during th broadcast. The NBC announcers were talking about how some of the effects were computer enhanced. They specifically said there were "digital pyrotechnics" used during the camera shot that zoomed across the city showing fireworks exploding all around.
On Slashdot in 2000?
No, it was on USENET itself... in 1995.

Well, no, that's not the answer. For one thing, MD5 and SHA1 potentially have the same flaw (as stated in TFA).
Second, that's a bit like saying that my house is only protected by a screen door... so the answer is to buy a second screen door.
