Then we talked about other Facebook games, games for the Wii and how his dog ate the sensor bar, talked about MMOs a bit (He'd never played one, didn't really "get" them, eh, whatever) and then HIS boss came in the room and we talked about work stuff because lunch was drawing to a close.
This is interesting! Do you have a Twitter feed I can subscribe to?
The amount of times I've almost been knocked over on Damrak by a 6 foot woman cycling at 30 mph with 3 kids in trailers behind her while crossing the bike roads, only to then almost get knocked down by a tram...
The Dutch must be so bored with drunk foreigners getting in the way of their high-speed cycling.
The Dutch are great though - ik hou van jullie.:)
Unless they plan on sending you a new Live CD every time a new Firefox or Linux kernel security bug is patched, many users would be vulnerable to attacks within a few months of this CD being released.
Er, no. If you've got a distro with no open ports, firewalled as well, that can only get to a single IP address on port 443, which doesn't let you connect unless the remote server's SSL cert is signed by the bank's CA which is the only one in your browser's CA list - where does the vulnerability come from?
Aye. With a static/etc/hosts to avoid DNS hijacking/mischief *, the bank making their own CA which is the only one included in the browser's configuration, and client SSL certs, you're pretty much safe.
* Downside is that of course any IP change will require new disks to be sent out.
If a robber points a gun at a child and tells you to hand over all your money, and you refuse, and the child gets shot, you are NOT responsible for the child's death.
Is it my kid, or just some random that's walking by?:)
By the way, it's interesting that you said "and the child gets shot" - sort of hints that it could be the child's fault - wouldn't "and the robber shoots the child" be better? </anal mode>
Someone should write a network-to-RTTY audio/network driver. Then, if the internet fails, we can still network (albeit slowly) over the phone network, walkie-talkies, Ham Radio (44/8 anyone?).
I reckon they're going to build a Thorium reactor to power their datacentres. Ever since I saw Googletalks on it, I thought this would make sense for them. Help the world (cheap, reliable nuclear energy), and help themselves (ultra cheap power).
Wow. That site has more third party Javascript scripts included than I've ever seen. It scrolls off my screen when listed in NoScript. *That's* why NoScript is good.:)
Which is why you "trust" the certifying authority. Any of your CAs could make a cert for any popular site. There needs to be some sort of PGP style web of trust, where people you personally trust sign SSL certs that they trust. Eventually, when you have 4 good friends who have signed/trust a specific Gmail SSL cert, then you could be sure it was OK. If it ever changed, well, then all bets are off.
I once watched a boxing match between a white guy and a black guy. The commentators never once mentioned that. "Jones, the taller man with the goatee in the red shorts....." It was absurd.
Here in the States the word 'oriental' is seen as a slur and isn't used anymore.
I've just been to the Oriental Republic of Uruguay. It just means east. We refer to us as being "the West". Do you get offended by that?
Asians for me always meant Chinese/Korean/Japanese. Now it's anyone east of the middle East.

Using Java Web Start is comparable to clicking "Yes" when prompted to install "spyware.exe" or any other exe file.
What the hell?
Java has a very finely grained security permissions model, and although I don't know, I would expect javaws to honour it.
E.g.
I think that should become the new "newsletter" meme.

Before I throw this out here I'll say I'm nowhere near being an astrophysicist
Aw, cmon Mr Hawkins, stop being so modest...

My girlfriend keeps saying I'm like a teenager. This would seem to agree with her findings.
What if someone puts a gun to your child's head and says if you don't hand over classified intelligence that could lead to American lives being lost?
Why American lives, out of interest?
So it's better to have a child killed than part with a few hundred dollars?
You need to have your reality sensors calibrated.

I wrote such a system many years ago. You can see it here.
I'll be driving at 12:30 UK time ( 3 hours), so you can watch me move.
The n in cartoneros has the squiggle over the top (enya?), but I can't (or rather don't know how to) do it on this keyboard.
The cartoneros in Buenos Aires. Huge package loads of card.
Playing with a mouse is much better for FPS. Got them on your game consoles yet?

prepared statements solve 99% of it
What's the 1% they don't solve? (Genuine question...)
I once coded a program for my own use that downloaded from binary newsgroups
Did the newsgroups start alt.binaries.pictures.erotica perchance?

running Windows 7 x64 in Firefox
Wow, that's quite impressive! What OS was Firefox running on? Bonus points if it was Linux or Mac.
