but my wife beats me in poker pretty constantly. Then again she has PhD in genetics and I just own a programming company that I started when I dropped out of college. I've been supporting her studies so I guess I'm still smar... hey wait.. what was the question?
But I think while what you say is evidently true on part that the big companies are pushing their solutions to us, they are at the same time conforming to a common standard. This in turn leads to opening for others to exploit this opening. And lets face it this is pretty low tech stuff. Stripping and parsing ascii files. You don't need IBM research department developing software for it even if IBM thinks you do.
I think this will open the playing field to more companies since we'll be moving away from rigid systems like SAP to piece by piece built components. Also on wep services such as SOAP the open source & low cost components such as linux php and pear etc. make entry into this market quite affordable for startups.
happy birthday and thanks for web

If anybody bothered to watch the recent two additions to the saga it is obvious that George is on his way. Both movies could have been one hour episodes cosidering the script. Even the special effects are propably now easy enough to do that it wouldn't add to the cost too much.
Besides the original movies especially second one Empire Strikes Back still look better than Lucases computer animations.
darn activist judges, the laws name has word Patriot in it! Doesn't that in itself make it immune to judicial review?
I mean it not like it's name is communist act or something.
In about ten thousand years we expect that humanity has moved beyond the solar system and is ruled by a decaying empire that has its capital on a planet near center of the galaxy. What steps are you taking to ensure that this will happen? What is the current state of research (military or civilian) on positronic brains?
I agree that it would be pretty simple. For example your 'suspect' mailbox could have check box that you can check if you believe that the sender is real and you feel like getting mail from them.
I get a lot of mail from people I know and a lot of spam from people I don't know. Very rarely do I get real mail from unknown senders.
Their solution is actually domain owner based solution. While this would actually be good that you could authenticate that your email is coming from a specific address it still would leave your mailbox open for spam from legit addresses. I think that we should stop believing that somebody higher up in the network will solve spam problem and just agree on a standard for peer authentication. If the key generation, signing etc. is automatic and hidden from user I think most users would be happy with it and use it.
I think the problem is that there hasn't been a similar drive to adjust email standards as there has been for example http. If the signature field was required and implemented by major client providers and online email services all mail would fairly quickly fall into line. Of course we could add then certificate chains and such if we want to for example trust email from specific groups such as employees of a company.
In this case I could accept either you as trusted or the company that issued your certificate.
All the signing and checking stuff can be found already in Windows, Linux, Symbian (don't know about palm) so implementing this in clients would be trivial.
Email from old sources would of course still be treated as suspect, but that would eventually blow over as people would want their clients to also separate junk from stuff.
But you are right that this propably wont catch on because there is no money in it for Microsoft. They propably want to sell these verification servers.
I think it should be a standard feature in email clients or if you used gmail or what ever the provider of that service should create key/pair for you. User could be completely oblivious to the fact that the emails are signed the signature and public key could be hidden in the header. Why do we need to have a some sort of central authority to authenticate people we have decided to trust? For example you (nolife) seem to make sense to me so I think you are a real person not spammer. If you sent me email with this schema I would mark it as "authentic" and after that all mail from you would be automatically in my good list.
Each email should be digitally signed. Signature could be in the header. When mail comes from recognized source it would fall into normal mailbox. All other mail would fall into suspect box. One could once in a while check the suspect box and add new friends public keys to their rings. Also when meeting new friends one could include the public key in the contact info.
They also have an online balance cheking though
this needs a pin code.

Is the pin a new addition? If not, someone could have used it to their advantage.
I would start the investigation by checking the clerk who sold this card. After that check who's reading the database where card registrations are stored. After that start checking the pipes for leaks. Going through all that is a big job though.
Funny thing about wireless is that many people consider it inherently unsecure, but at least usually it's pretty easy to have the transmission encrypted even by a novice. This is unlike ethernet where you have to start configuring some sort of VPN, which in a heterogenious equipment environment can be a nightmare if not impossible. Most likely data is not encrypted and culprit might even be able to just plug the listening device to some empty service desks network sockets (I have no idea how these are in wallmart, only been in one once, bought a pair of pants that let me down the first week I wore them).
I would think that they are trying to see if their favourite models of universe actually produce something similar to what we currently are experiencing. Article didn't mention if that was the case.
Microsoft is distributing SDK for P2P. I haven't looked at it closely, but accoriding to the FAQ, you could easily develope a filesharing application using it.

I have an app that sends about 140 messages to customers every day and it takes about 10 minutes to do that. In couple of days you could easily send that amount of text messages.
This might be still bit beta for you, but friend of mine asked me to test this software:
LifeBlog
It's pretty nice to take pictures of stuff and then add comments. The phone I'm using is Nokia 7610, which I guess is not yet on the market, but it is pretty much same as 6600 Symbian based phone.
These guys have still ways to go, but it might become a pretty nice product if they keep at it.
Don't leave ports open by default that aren't secure. Please don't have filesystem by default writeable and executable for everyone. Please don't execute code that hasn't been installed and reviewed by user.
They should embrace kazaa or some other p2p and
start a legit pyramid selling scheme of mp3's.
For example I could connect to sonys mp3 server and download mindless pop for some cost. In turn I share this pop on my server, and get credit for all downloads, from which a small comission is paid to the originator of the material. If my site is up and has lots of intresting material I might even make a small profit as a distributor so it is in my intrest to stay in the system. Transactions could be handled by a third party (not US government though). Those who aren't able to share would still be intrested because of the huge quantities of material available.
other idea is that if people are being prosecuted for p2p and want to continue someone will make a p2p network where the originator of files is hidden. This would be easy. Just make the transfer go through nodes just like the searches do at the moment. You'd never be able to tell who the "offender" is since you don't know if the file is coming from the node you are connected or nodes behind it. In the era of broadband and litigation this scheme is also feasible.
Current intellectual property protection approaches level, which instead of fanning,
stiffles innovation. Maybe above schemes are
already patented so beware if you try to implement them.

The ability to record our movements, intrests, communications will in the future make it possible to really control the population from itself.

IrDA isn't really that secure in my experience those flashes of light can be read even around corners if some surface is reflecting the light.
