A friend of mine created a fake profile and sent me a friend request. I never accepted the request, but he got "people you might know..." suggestions which were from my contact list.
Facebook is not designed for security, there are information leaks like that all over.
Well... it *is* about identity, and limiting the scope of who you have to trust.
With SSL, you trust the computer manufacturer, your hardware configuration, your Operating system, your web browser (and root certificates in your web browser) and the Certificate Authority (which is a corporation under the U.S. government).
Self signed certs are better, but you need a second channel to communicate the certificates securely.
The difference is that Firefox has vulnerabilities like any normal application... Internet Explorer on the other hand has been the forefront infection vector for botnets of hundreds of thousands of machines for the past decade.
Non-native device caches should be read-only. All devices aggregate from all sources. As long as you don't have a standard format which all your devices can read and write to, you will have to make some compromises.
It's far more forgiving to read a format incorrectly than to write to it. If it is absolutely vital for you to write in a particular situation, then you can weigh the risks of adding the contact, modifying the calendar, or whatever, vs., corrupting your calendar, creating a broken contact in your contact list, etc.
Personally, I just want to be able to *read* my master contact list and my work calendar from my handheld... writing to it would be nice, but it is not nearly as important, and until standards catch up, it is not worth the headaches.
That said.. once again, I need to remove all the crap from my address book, after some tool decided that everyone who I've ever written an email to should have an entry, whether they're already in the address book or not.... I'm going to set up an LDAP directory just so that I have some control over what writes to it.
Everyone makes mistakes. I never had any serious injuries, but I haven't spent more than a thousand hours in a shop.
When you're expected to *perform* and you're on the clock, you might just have that one bad moment in that one bad day and "oops".
Our reflexes can be bad too. I once had a 200lb block of unfinished steel on a flycutter. I was positioning it (wearing gloves...) and it slipped. My reflex was to grab it. I was lucky it didn't fall too far, else the leverage would have been against me and I would have gashed open my thigh, seriously hurt my back, or destroyed my foot (I would be surprised if the steel-toe boots would help against the corner of a block of steel like that). I was lucky and I'll be more careful next time. I knew what I did was stupid as soon as I caught it. I should have just jumped back and let it put a hole in the platform.
Seems to test conductivity, probably between the table and the blade
7. Can I cut conductive materials?
"Yes. You can operate the saw in Bypass Mode which deactivates the safety system's braking feature, allowing you to cut aluminum and other known conductive materials. If you are unsure if the material you need to cut is conductive, you can make test cuts using Bypass Mode to determine if it will activate the safety system's brake. "
The mechanics are pretty cool. It seems to use the momentum of the blade itself to stop the cut. The electrics are trivial, combining the electrics and the mechanics to create a safety feature isn't something I would have thought of... it'd destroy my saw:-)
That's a nice toilet you've got there. I wish *I* had a toilet. You'd better not step out of your shack, it'd be a shame if somebody were to take it from you...
All the funding goes towards supporting quantum physics and other derivatives of round earth theories! The Roundies are corrupting the government and controlling your mind! I can find dozens of economists, statisticians and marine biologiests who'll support me on this!
"Seriously, what the fuck has that got to do with drive-by-wire versus mechanical? Try reading more than one word before replying if you don't want to broadcast what an utter fucking imbecile you are."
lol.. that was so venemous and uncalled for that it was funny.
Venues compete on price, location and other stuff. This brings prices down. When scalpers step in, the venue has already been locked in. There is no more competition.
If the band or the label were to scalp, it would create a lot of bad blood. If the venue were to scalp, nobody would play there. The practice is so negative, that venues who actively discourage scalping get better acts.
I'm not a big believer in passing more laws, but it should be easy to create laws saying that advertising a ticket for more than 150% of the list price is "Scalping". Enforcement is hard, but having the laws on the books can at least discourage it from being done openly. Venues often spend a lot on having doormen looking for scalpers, offering tickets at the door and other tricks to stop these guys.
As for why it shouldn't be illegal to charge less? it's a fictional problem. You don't have people bidding down the prices of tickets before an event.
It will never die. It will be around forever. Technicians, thousands of years from now will have to interface with wireless psychic rs232 adapters so as to configure their Cisco hyperdrives.
And also in this time, I've seen it shift from "Global Warming" to (when the former turned out to be too hard to prove) to "Climate change" which is pretty much irrefutable, and pretty much useless as well.
Interesting interpretation.
The phrase "global warming" should be abandoned in favour of "climate change", Mr Luntz says, and the party should describe its policies as "conservationist" instead of "environmentalist", because "most people" think environmentalists are "extremists" who indulge in "some pretty bizarre behaviour... that turns off many voters".
A lot could be said for creating a PGP signed mailing list based on a web-of-trust and requiring a government certifier in the trust. Then we could at least share contact information, verify authenticity of requests in the event of attacks and keep reactions to changes in infrastructure confidential. Include key signing in the certification process for basic government clearance.
An announcement mailing list could keep us abreast of potential problems... ideally just a monthly "this is a test of the emergency broadcast system" message checking that we can read and certify government encrypted emails.
Most of us have some kind of government clearance anyway, so I don't think this kind of preparation is too much to ask. Smaller providers can authenticate and cooperate with the upstream provider who does have the clearance.
Information leaks can be dealt with by the government untrusting chains or individuals.
I for one, *want* a list like this where I can find remote admins who can respond to attacks which I detect.

Caching.
'Sync'ing is the wrong solution for calendars, email and contacts. The right solution is to read all sources and present them simultaneously.
Quit now. It can only get worse.
Soon they'll have it automatically generating Visio diagrams.

Nooo, it's $169 to replace the blade and brake every time it triggers.
"...Stearns applied for grants to pay for two SawStop saws in 2008, which cost $7,400, about three times the price of other brands. "
"It seemed, for this industry, a fundamental discovery," Fanning said. "I'd never seen anything like it."
The demo is pretty impressive: http://www.sawstop.com/howitworks/videos.php

"I would think the ability to regenerate body parts on demand would be an evolutionary advantage"
What advantage could regeneration provide when survival rates for amputation were abysmal before modern medicine?
Maybe changes in bacteria made regeneration pointless in larger lifeforms (which take longer to heal)?
It's speculation, but I guess the only way we can know if it can be done is to experiment.
"Prove the above with references from reputable, neutral sources."
Do you have any examples?
$120B/year is pretty impressive for a population of 30M.
That's about $16,000 per household per year. Pretty impressive.
If you got rid of the roads, parking lots and driveways, everything would be within walking distance!

4Chan is just the English phenomenon of 2chan.
It's a Japanese channel, but lots of Chinese on the front page.
As far as I know, the concept originated in East Asia.

Does this stuff affect anyone with a manual transmission? If the engine goes crazy, hit the clutch. It should be a reflex.
