The phone company can verify a call occurred. Unless its intercepting the call, it cannot know what was transmitted, or even whether it was a fax or phone call.
It should be possible to call a fax number, send down a renegotiation tone (to keep the line open for a believable time), and then forge a 'faxed' document complete with sender, receiver, a 'transmission successful' message, and the call time.
Shouldn't the fix just be that Apache calculate the _total_ size requested by the client, and if that crosses some definable limit, knock back the request with a HTTP 4xx response ( "client demands too much" ) or a 5xx error ("we're not google") (if it wants to be polite)
True when you aren't tired. But if you are tired, or if the driver of the speeding car coming the other way is tired, this will also get rid of you. Speed limits please.

And my feedback. The Kinect is a potentially great piece of hardware but... Being protected from a potentially eyeblinding 60 mW infrared laser, with only crackable, diffraction gratings to disperse the beam across the room is a bit too risky for me.
Think of when you may get your face accidentally too close... like when switching something on or off in AV equipment... or worse, children starting into the projector.

Gmail has a "user+@gmail.com" facility which you can use to simulate individual addresses per correspondent.
Lets say your email address is 'Example@gmail.com'. Simply give out 'Example+BankOfAmerica_2011@gmail.com' when registering on Bank Of America's website. The '+BankOfAmerica_2011' bit is completely made up by you. Now any emails sent to you by BOA show up in your Gmail inbox, where you can sort by recipient. The only issue is remembering the email address you had cooked up in the first place, when logging into their website.:) But naming conventions and browser autocomplete help.
Of course, anyone with knowledge of Gmail's convention can figure out your 'real' email address by stripping out the bit after the plus sign. So these addresses are not really untrackable.
Ha! The boy who cried wolf... walked right into my trap!
"Socialize airports, roads, the police, fire brigade," http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_firefighting#Modern_development In North America, Jamestown, Virginia was virtually destroyed in a fire in January, 1608. There were no full-time paid firefighters in America until 1850. Even after the formation of paid fire companies in the United States, there were disagreements and often fights over territory. New York City companies were famous for sending runners out to fires with a large barrel to cover the hydrant closest to the fire in advance of the engines.[citation needed] Often fights would break out between the runners and even the responding fire companies for the right to fight the fire and receive the insurance money that would be paid to the company that fought it.[citation needed] Interestingly, during the 19th century and early 20th century volunteer fire companies served not only as fire protection but as political machines. The most famous volunteer firefighter politician is Boss Tweed, head of the notorious Tammany Hall political machine, who got his start in politics as a member of the Americus Engine Company Number 6 ("The Big Six") in New York City.

I have reasonable suspicion of you not being a worshipper of the one true God.

This video shows that accidentally bringing your eye one or two inches, even with the Kinect optics intact, can blind you.

Hah. that's so old school. I started with a modern, 6-digit UID myself. I understand some really cutting-edge folks use 7-digit ones.
Back in the 90's, it had become obvious that the 4-digit range was going to run out one day... it was just a matter of time.
Unlike ipv6, the geniuses at slashdot designed their ID system such that a 6-digit and 4-digit ID can communicate directly!
No, no... step #1 is missing too. He's not going to get that trademark.

Cheap. 48-core. In the same sentence! ... actually 4 12-core CPUs on a motherboard)
Thats.... intriguing. i googled and found a couple of links for 48 core intel and AMD systems

http://www.guru3d.com/news/amd-shows-48core-magny-cours-system/ -- ("48 core" AMD system
I'm guessing this is the Intel system which is only for academia.
Can you provide some more details? Prices, clock speed?
