These guys provide a valuable if expensive service. On the other hand, companies are becoming so paranoid about liability, because of this that they have started clearing all email from servers after 3 months (mine does) Once, I got lazy about saving stuff elsewhere, and I lost my contact inforamtion for someone.

Interesting! I always heard it as "the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy, sleeping dog." But your way is faster (although it misses the comma.) Thanks!

If anyone would bother to do a search on Google for "argo floats" you would also quickly discover that they submerge for ten days, come up for a half a day and then go back down, so this will at least reduce the risk of the things getting prop scars. They also don't stay in one place (another poster asked about this). In fact there is a page where you can track where the current floats are in real time. Pretty Cool actually.
The beauty of most encryption algorithms is that you can pretty much figure out how long it will take someone to crack your key. Because of this it is easy to decide what level of risk you are willing to accept.
The problem with chemical "keys" as I see it is that there will be two few chemical compounds in any given ink (for the paper case). This makes a brute force attack to discover the key quite feasible using mass spectometry and similar inks.
How would one calculate the resources necessary to conduct such a brute force attack? This uncertainty will make it difficult to assess what types of things you can logically protect with such a system. It is still pretty cool, and should provide a horrendous deterrant, but before going and protecting anything really valuable like an entire currency supply with it, the risk levels need to be better understood. If the company can't provide information on how easy their taggants are to crack, then they probably are just pulling the old "security by obscurity" trick, and since the compound is physically present, there is no way to prevent a determined attacker from discovering the secret (unlike a password) and once the secret is out, its out.
A CA's trust should be judged by the Certificate Policy, not the Issuer Statement. I have not researched the availability of the various CA's CPs but you can reference them under the CP attribute where you will find an Object Identifier(OID) that uniquely identifies that CA's certificate policy. Theoretically, you should be able to use that number to view the CP and decide whether or not to trust the CA.
Back in the day, we built a 64K North Star Horizon from a kit. We accidentally crossed our 16V power supply wires and blew up a capacitor. The fire shot most of the way to the ceiling. Good thing we didn't put the wooden case top on before we started it!
2 easy experiments that you can do at home to prove that light bends matter:
1. Take one porch light and a box of live moths. Release the moths and observe the difference in aggregate brownian motion of the moths with the light on/off. Since moths are made of matter...
2. Take one potted sunflower. Let grow in the same position for 2 weeks. Rotate the sunflower 180 degrees. Wait 2 weeks. Observe. The stem of the sunflower has been bent by light! Miraculous!
I remember several years ago someone discovered Some bacteria that were hanging around underwater vocanic vents in temperatures of 160-180 degrees F. It makes me wonder when the tunnels were created w.r.t. when the lava cooled. Perhaps the tunnels were created by microorganisms that were harvesting a heat source? Or maybe I just had one too many cups of coffee.
Sure, but this doesn't apply to all commercial products just financial services:
Once again from the article: (first paragraph this time)
"The Distance Selling of Financial Services directive covers the marketing of financial products including credit cards and pension plans to consumers on the Internet, by phone and fax and by traditional direct mail. "
So you would still be susceptible to messages singin the praises of little yellow pills. At least for now.
When my baby daughter was born, she had this smell. It was like the most appetizing baked good you can possibly imagine. Now I have smelled other newborns, but to me they don't smell the same way. The parents of the other newborns will tell you the same thing though (thus the expression bun in the oven). I think when it all shakes out, we will discover the same sorts of mechanisms at work in newborns/parents that we are just now discovering (or should I say scientifically cataloging) here.
I have also noticed that fems seem to pay more attention to me when I have showered, but forgotten deodorant. The effect seems to wear off once they come within 3 feet though;-).

Actually we will probably be able to get all the stem cells (and other cells for that matter) we might need from our own fat so no need for clones in that respect.

Why did someone mod the author down for responding to a critic? not that he needs the karma or anything but still...

Yup. Hawaii and Captain Cook all over again.
All of the detections occurred close to the camera. ... Close examination revealed that four of the cases occurred on the Pathfinder spacecraft itself.
I bet we just brought cloryphyll to Mars. I wonder if anything will come of it?

This definitely belongs in the Most Outrageous Vendor Lie Ever Told? article
I can see this taking off big time in Japan for hot sake in a can!
Who knows what legend they'll prove/disprove next?
I hope the whole Kraken thing is true. I wanna mount that sucka and ride the tsunami when the next asteroid hits.
I'm pretty sure you meant "Bang! Symmetric encryption." ;-)
The word "Aeroflot" does come to mind doesn't it?

Shame.

This quote belongs right beside "It will never work" and "If God had meant man to fly he'd have given him wings."
How about some evidence to back up that claim?

This applies to financial products only, although they are talking about more comprehensive legislation later.

Yea like those terrible Anime style graphics in FF VII and VIII.
Oops my sarcasm is dripping again.
