  1. Re:Maybe some access controls would help on Google Warning Gmail Users On Spying From China · · Score: 1

    My gmail account was compromised several weeks before the whole gmail thing made to press. I had a pretty strong password including capital letters, @# and numbers. But those bloody Chinese crackers still cracked my email account and sent out hundreds of spams. I only use OS X and Fedora, so there is little possibility of those crackers still my password via spyware. From my experience, I doubt if a strong password can protect you.

  10. Re:It'll be a while before we get confirmation... on Ted Stevens and Sean O'Keefe In Plane Crash · · Score: 1

    A tube is measured by OD (outer diameter) and a pipe is measured by ID (inner diameter). So when you say a gigabit Ethernet is a larger "pipe" than a 100M Ethernet, you indeed mean the capacity is larger. But if you say it is a larger "tube", it may not mean a larger capacity unless you include wall thickness information.

    "Then, uh, get the government out of the way and let airlines run the airline business instead of burrowcrats."

    You mean get rid of FAA? I guess we can see two or more commercial air plane crashes per day. What a great idea.

    Several years ago, a company made a seat cushion made of magnesium sheets for commercial air planes. The reason this company did this was FAA had and still has very restrict fire safety code for the foam and fabrics (all polymers) used to make air plane seats. By using a metal, they were not using a polymer, so they could by pass existing FAA regulation on polymeric seating and then they could make it cheap. Although magnesium sheets burns even you soak them in water. And the flame temperature of magnesium is more than 5000 degree F. This is just one example how evil business men and women could be.

    And FAA stopped them timely.
