We (mostly) use password managers;-) I only know one password and it's to decrypt my local password datastore. When that gets corrupted I'll be resetting passwords for weeks. All of my passwords resemble 2r9aIx'DbFbKRU;v4u!LgRn so there's no way I'm remembering or typing any of them in.
b) You do actually have to push a button on the remote to turn it on. So it's not recording every word you say while the TV is turned on.
Note true in this case, these new TVs are always listening
New sophisticated Smart Interaction technology enables you to operate your TV without
pushing a button. You can easily control functions such as turning on/off your TV, changing
channels, accessing apps and navigating the web using simple voice commands.
It works pretty well, though I'm not all that big a fan of the process of logging in. The process goes like this:
Redirect the user to Yahoo!
User logs into Yahoo!
User has to confim that they are allowing your site access to their data (for Feed Harvest it's only an auth, no access)
Yahoo! redirects the user back to you with an optional hash so you can keep track of the users account on your side.
This all seems reasonable, but I think I'd like to see the ability to set a pref so that you don't have to confirm every time. Other than that it does lower the barrier to entry for a site/service.
You have to choose the level of acccess when you register your app. When I registered the choices were (from memory):
I see innerHTML as lazy, it only takes a few moments to create a proper node set. String manipulation is so 1990.
Unless you care about performance on the client, which depends entirely on the app you are building. Yes using the DOM is cleaner, but apparently innerHTML is faster to write and to execute. That said, I generally use the DOM.
That all depends, do you want one that has no idea what to do or one that may show you a trick or two?? oh, wait... you are talking about computers, glad I have Macs.
Uh, maybe if you commute in Hollywood. In DC it would make the commute horrifying.
I'm going to make an assumption that you haven't used public transit in Hollywood... The ones you want to see don't use public transit for the most part and the ones that do wouldn't have any place to hide their junk... There are way too many pre-op chicks with dicks for me to want any part of that.
They have a Beta out of their newest version that you might want to download to try.
Don't waste the bandwidth on the beta until they fix the "issues". Currently will not even install on Tiger, haven't tried Panther. Runs nice in Linux, until it decides to spike the CPU for no reason. In Windows it's slow and spikes the CPU.
I wish there was a way of disabling spotlight during certain times. especially when I'm running a script that's creating dozens of files only to trash them again later. I think it's taking a bit of a performance hit from spotlight.
Assuming your script always creates it's files in the same location, add that location to the privacy tab in Spotlight prefs. It should then ignore that directory.
So I always try to learn the more complex ideas around the language or bring in ideas from Perl or C to my PHP code to make it look more advanced...
So you intentionally make your code hard to read/maintain so that you can justify your salary? If you really think your code "looks more advanced", chances are it's not.
Is one of these more advanced than the other? Or does it just look that way to someone that's never seen a ternay operator before?
if ($a == $b) {
$c = $a; } else {
$c = $b; }
$c = $a == $b ? $a : $b;
It's a much better plan to justify your existance to your employers by writing rock solid code that can be maintained by others when your l33t skillz get you a better job.
There is also a huge difference between being able to write code in a given language and being able to write GOOD code in that language.
What the hell is premium content? I hear marketroids use it all the time now. According to dictionar.com premium means, among other things " Something offered free or at a reduced price as an inducement to buy something else.". What's the problem if someone gets "premium" content for free then?
Read a little further down...
6. The amount at which something is valued above its par or nominal value, as money or securities.
Premium channels are generally movie/porn/sports channels.
When you are at dinner or in a bar/pub and order something other than a well cocktail you are getting a premium (granted this actually has a graduated scale). BTW, never drink well, that crap will kill you.
When you fill your car up with "Premium" it doesn't me you get it free;), it's a higer grade that the norm, thus you pay a premium for it.
We use a script called sshd_sentry. It is set up so that after five failed attempts the IP address is blocked for 24 hours.
While this approach looks like a great solution on the surface, it can have some rather unfortunate side effects.
You want to be careful where you deploy this type of setup.
Take this example. You run a fairly successful ecommerce site in a very competitive space. One of your competitors discovers you use this method and decides they don't want you to compete with them on Googe, Yahoo etc. They setup a script that bangs on your box once a day spoofing all the known bot IP addresses. After a while you will start to wonder why you aren't in the indexes any longer.
That's pretty nasty business, but if you think people wont do it, you underestimate your competitors.
(and I hope some online vendors take note of this)
If I can't get the shipping price BEFORE I put in my Name and Credit card - I take my business elsewhere...
I hear that. That's why I started using MaxMind for geolocation as well as fraud prevention. The cost of the subscrition is trivial.
With this information I can fairly reliably only show the valid shipping options to you and also pre calc sales tax. And if the system gets it wrong you can correct it. Geocoding IPs isn't perfect, but they do a good job.
...where are the versions for other operating systems? I'm not saying 'Where are the MS Linux apps', but where are the MS apps for Apple, and the MS apps for Linux, and the MS apps for Palm OS, etc...
The office offering for Apple is pretty pathetic which is why I'm glad that Jobs is develping his own for Apple.
I'm not sure if you've used Office for OS X lately, I'm guessing not, but it generaly kicks the stuffing out of Office for Windows. They did manage to get close to Office 2004 Mac when they did Office 2003, but I haven't really spent much time with Office 2003 lately.
While Apple may make their money on hardware, one of the struggles that Mac has is a lack of a software base. The emulators have been nice and all, but they are slow.
While I agree VirtualPC on my 1GHz PowerBook is truly painful, running it on a Dual 2.0 G5 feels about as fast as my P4 1.4. Now if Microsoft would just fix the networking in Tiger...
Now, enter OS X on an x86 based processor... you may just forget all about virtualization being slow when all it will have to do it virtualize and not translate.
I also seriously doubt the first version of OSX for intel is free of serious security holes. If people who use the leaked version are doing so for that reason they are mistaken.
You do realize that this "first" version of OS X on Intel is the exact same OS that runs on PPC, right? This "first" release is 5 years old, they build them both at the same time.
It was entertaining to hear that every release of OS X was built for PPC and x86. Something a lot of people thought but couldn't confirm.
And do you really think Windows has security issues because it runs on an x86 chip?

hehe, you can mod my previous post -1 Bonehead. Didn't think it through.
Yeah, you made me go look at the script. It is just updating hosts.deny not adding IPs to the firewall.

Use AllowUers and only have acocunts that I want logging in. If some package/whatever creates an account and I don't know, it can't be exploited.
Any login not in that list just gets a Password: promt over and over...
If my sshd_config gets changed I'm probably going to know.
The article states "200 to 300 times per day"...
This is only one box out of 63 for one day:

I'm sure somebody will let me know if I'm wrong.
