  1. KeePass on Passwords Can Sit on Hard Disks for Years · · Score: 1

    If you are worried about securely storing passwords, you should check out this application: KeePass. My Favorite feature is that you can randomly generate a password, copy and past the password (which is displayed as asterisks) from the application to the destination, and never know what your password is. It works natively in windows and runs on Wine in Linux.

    So I guess this means the Internet is going to be rebooted?

  4. Re:Keep it simple stupid on How Configurable Should a Desktop User Interface be? · · Score: 1

    I agree with you, but IMHO it is worth noting that the world would be a better place if the OS and the GUI were kept strictly modular. That way you could put your favorite OS with your favorite GUI. Some lines should not be blurred.

    The primary goal all OS vendors...

    Keep in mind that an Operating System is NOT a GUI.

  6. Some History of the Copyright on WipOut Contest · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I cam across this while looking at Eric Flint's Homepage (1632 author). He has put about half of his books online for the reading enjoyment of the masses. He is very adament about not taking copyrights too far. http://www.baen.com/library/palaver4.htm. Here is the the first paragraph of the page: " These are two speeches given by Thomas Macaulay in Parliament in 1841, when the issue of copyright was being hammered out. They are, no other word for it, brilliant ? and cover everything fundamental which is involved in the issue. (For those not familiar with him, Macaulay would eventually become one of the foremost British historians of the 19th century. His History of England remains in print to this day, as do many of his other writings.) "
