What you're supposed to do is write all your passwords on one sheet of paper, clearly indicating which one is for what login. Then write the word PASSWORDS at the top in big letters and post it on the wall of your cubicle.
I was surprised when I stumbled across Oracle VirtualBox. It's pretty dang nice, at least for the end-user instance. What's in it for them to support this project?
Because if they're proper nerds, they understand that that "hot girl" is actually just another tubby, pockmarked, unkempt, pizza-sauce-stained, geeky dude like themselves.
These bimbots look good, but all they do is try to get you to buy lots of stuff that has nothing to do with the reason you approached them in the first place.
If you're looking for quality sexbots, then you're going to have to pay full price. These bimbots will just tease and taunt you without really delivering anything worthwhile.
Come to think of it, that's one of the oldest tricks of the oldest profession: it's easier to talk the mark out of his money than to actually work for it.
Facebook is just plain crowd: like a mob with everyone shouting.
Slashdot is a crowd moderated by randomly selected crowd-members, with multiple-moderation, meta-moderation, and karma-influence.
That's a huge difference. And you can see it. On Facebook, there's an endless stream of garbage. On slashdot, you can go back to an article that has matured and just read the 4s and 5s and get a pretty good sense of the best content.
No slashdot ain't close to perfect. What this shows however is that "wisdom of the crowds" is variable based on the system used. The more complex and well thought-out the system, the more wise the crowd gets.
So the lesson is: providers do whatever the hell they want with your data until they get caught and enough people complain. Then within a year or two, they put out a "fix."
After that, you can be 100% positive that they are completely looking out for your privacy. Right? All you have to do is... um, well it is closed source. But they say it's OK now.
The lesson here: any data that is collectable will be collected. Any data that is usable will be used.
It would be entirely naive to think that law enforcement would restrain themselves from using data that is right there for the taking. All it takes is a little strong-arming of the company in charge of the data.
That includes consumption of electricity, water, gas, internet, cable-tv, UPS-deliveries, and anything else someone else pumps into your house.
Hey, it's been nice he's called himself an American for so long, but considering he's not even from Earth, this was just a nicety, right?
Where's the Fortress of Solitude located anyway?

Reading this, I kinda wondered what ever became of Wordperfect, once a dominant player in the business world (along with Lotus 123), before Microsoft, well, Microsofted them.
If the state is so desperate to save money, then they should probably cut all spending on the legislature. When I was a kid, I never my own legislature. And honestly, when you get out of the state, nobody even knows where your laws came from anyway.
Sorry... just trying to make as much sense as the esteemed Senator.
Yes. I thought I said that I at least don't understand the finer points. That's why I asked.
But I don't see anything in your linked article which says that a combined manufacturer/implementer cannot implement a backdoor of some kind. It says is is secure against attacks, but what about subversion?
Please feel free to tell me otherwise, because I do not know. That is why I am asking.
I meant encryption algorithm. Can't the manufacturer give them a sort of back-door around the encryption/ (I'm honestly asking... not sure how the finer points of encryption work.)
The first time I saw hypertext (in lynx), I thought it was, basically, what was to later be realized in Wikipedia: something where most words are hyper-linked and take you to more information about that word.
That's what I thought hypertext was all about. And really, isn't Wikipedi pretty awesome, in form, if not always in content?

That's horrible security practice!

(Sadly, I really have seen this.)
Except in this scene (in Spaceballs), I think the password is: 0000.
That's what I use for everything.
1. Bury treasure in temple walls.
2. ?
3. Profit!!

...frequently hopping from one field to another, including 'molecular biology, linguistics, physics, engineering and mathematics.
Huh. That's exactly how I browse Wikipedia.
I've made edits to articles in all of those fields. Does that make me a Renaissance Surfer or something? ;)
Woosh on your woosh: both posts were in jest.
Unless of course your woosh was also a joke, then woosh on me.
Ah, to woosh with it all.

You're promoting a bad precedent.

Skylons aren't just Cylons pronounced funny. They're Cylons created by Skynet.
Seriously, that has to be the most dooms-day-ish, worst-conceived name ever.

So does this mean we just might have a reliable earthquake detector, or is it only a sometimes-thing?

So in other words... it's a dog emulator.
Even kinda looks like Snoopy:

Now I remember, Corel bought Wordperfect, and apparently it's still around.

Interesting to note that the term "ERP" does not appear even once in the body of the article.
It's two pages, run searches on both... it ain't there.

You obviously know nothing about AES.

If that means a few more criminals get away with it, so be it. I consider my government to be far more dangerous than a few individual criminals.
No, no, no. Don't you know that there's a 100% security solution? If we put everyone in prison, then our streets will be totally safe!
I meant encryption algorithm. Can't the manufacturer give them a sort of back-door around the encryption/ (I'm honestly asking... not sure how the finer points of encryption work.)
I have trouble believing that these high-end forensic products are used exclusively in Michigan.
It can if Nokia gives their encryption key to the manufacturer of the devices, can't it?
