When i think of ultimate security of my personal information it doesn't include giving it to some service to remember it for me because i am too lazy to pull out my wallet and type in some numbers. Heck, if i'm going that far I should just get a remote control for my computer so i can hit the amazon.com button on it and then hit the big red BUY! button. Anyway.. back to my point.. I dont trust that people that i don't know will take care of personal information better then i can.
on my second level math corse they offer at college i one time made a joke about a slide rule. it was a really sad moment when i realized no one in the class knew what i was talking about.
I can now see it happening... someone hacking the windows side of the cpu... overflowing the vmware-like software and rooting my linux box./me shakes fist at script kiddies!!
Sounds like a bad idea to me. I did tech support for this mostly dial up ISP that covered every inch of missouri and some surrounding states. Every day at that job i grew to hate the phone people more and more, especially when squirrels would eat through their phone lines and they would blame us for connecting at 14.4. I think I would rather wait tables or make sandwiches if I was out of a job then do tech support.
Well, If I am allready using the latest windows exploit, I will be running all my processes as SYSTEM so who would need all these useless password things?. It just sounds like this exploit is a day late and a dollar short./me goes back to bot-net which is running as SYSTEM
being a bicycling person myself, i find it easy to keep in some form of shape by biking to work and then biking a couple miles to school right after. I also save money by not having to shell out bus & train money. i later use that money to buy beer.. it's a very delicate and wonderfull cycle (no pun intended) i have developed... 8)
Yah great timing.. i wish i would have known about this earlier today so i could actually see it.. living in chicago and all... why post this if it's allready happened???
Spammers wouldn't ever send out emails if they didn't make a nice wad of change from it. Someone I once knew made about $700 a month from porn spam, which was enough to pay for his SUV and rent while he went to college. The only reason they keep spamming is because of those morons that keep clicking on the emails and making them more money.. they are the real cause of the current spam problem we have today. The only way you can stop it is to make it unprofitable.
Well first you had to switch your CGA card to graphics mode.. i always liked when i could choose between 2 different pallettes of 4 colors.. i made a race car game where everything was composed of lines and rectangles so it was basically vector graphics stuff.. but you could also get snazzy and read pcx files and write straight to the cga cards video memory.
Came from gorilla.bas. That program had sooo much valuable info to glean from it, especially that tricky chr$(h) equals the up arrow. If anyone wants the 3D polygon rendering library i wrote in QBASIC 10 years ago just drop me a line.. when i finished that i realized i needed to find a real programming language.
Maybe my perspective is slanted on this issue because i don't bring in six figures, but most of these robots seem completely useless. I mean $16k for a robot that guards your house? You can get a mean dog for much cheeper and he will do a better job. A gender aware Bot? Man i would hate to think how much that would cost when i could go down the block and pick up a girl that was a professional at "being gender" aware for much cheeper. Don't think i am some anti technology idiot, but it just seems we got that human thing down pretty good and pretty cheep, so maybe we should have robots that act like something unique or fill a valid market. And secondly, how do you think these robots will feel when you realize they are useless and toss them away. Then there might be a market for robot psychologists. Maybe that was their plan all along!
i stopped trying to over clock my processor when i blew up a perfectly fine Pentium II 233 when i tried to get it to run at 266.. it worked for a month and then never worked again.. *sniffle* So now unless i have a spare processor lying around i don't risk it.
is it just me, or when you read articles like this you remember how you read the book 1984 in the early 90's a chuckled about how it wasn't accurate. Then everyday since you have noticed how this country has moved closer and closer to being something out of that book?
This calculating is all fine and dandy, but the real question is how many digits he can recite from memory? Recite it up to 50 digits and he can truly be king of all nerds!

as Quagmire would say... giggadee giggadee...gig-gah-deeee!!!

with the size of my boss, a "corporate fallout" would prove deadly to anyone trapped underneath.. heh.. no seriously.. i'll be here all week.. 8)

It's discouraging that my PrefBar in mozilla doesn't even trick it into thinking its IE6 on XP.

this is not a sig.
Those guys at MIT constructing the database on government members should get these names. oh what juicy tidbits of info they would be!
