Why not use different unlocking mechanisms for the outside and the inside? Standard keys would work for the exterior, and voice recognition should do the trick for the interior.
I've coded up NNTP support for Slash. Check out a demo at http://slash.zevils.com/ and news:zevils.com. It has support for limiting it only to subscribers and other neat stuff. Told Rob about it, and he said he was interested but I don't think he's had a chance to check it out yet. Also, I don't know Slashcode that well so it would be good if one of the Slashfolk vetted the code to make sure I was Doing The Right Thing. The code is here and my slashcode.com announcement is here. Is anyone interested in this?

Here's an easy fix for Microsoft to implement: have IE append the "expected extension" to the name of a file if the extension given is wrong. For instance, if foo.txt has a content-type of application/octet-stream, have it tell the user that they are downloading foo.txt.exe, and reflect this in the open/save dialog and the name of the saved file. This has a pleasant non-security side-effect - I often write CGIs which return a content-type of, say, application/pdf. If the user downloads the resulting data, it will be saved as myapp.cgi. This will cause problems when the user tries to open the file.
How do they enforce the subscription fee? Do they just make you send back the receiving equipment if you don't pay? If so, I predict that the DirecTV hackers will have a new toy to play with.;)
A group known as the Northern Alliance, an Afghan group opposed to the Taliban and associated with Shah Massooda, has taken credit for the explosions in Afghanistan.
One thing I noticed while reading the Charlotte Observer articule is that they kept referring to the filters as "pornography-blocking software". They implied that the filters block porn and only porn. One of the more serious problems with filters is that they block a lot of other material as well.
Looking through it, I've already found one inaccuracy. On page 12, it says that you can copy a file off a floppy by doing cp/dev/fd0/bookmarks.html/home/yourusername/.netscape. This is incorrect. The floppy drive must be mounted and you must then copy the file from the mountpoint. I've just notified the authors.

SCO is saying that the lurkers support them in email.
What, you mean like this? O'Reilly will give you a 30% discount if you own an older version of the book.

I believe that if you put the cd in .bash_profile instead of .bashrc, it will only be executed for login sessions - that is, for ssh, not scp.
Do you still live at home, or ever eat there? Do you know what happens when you don't tip at restaurants? Might want to start checking your food...

Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest was bad enough - I don't even want to think of how terrible Final Fantasy: Mickey's Quest is going to be.

Are there any plans to have Ruby use Parrot, the future shared backend for Perl and Python?
And here's some extraneous text because my comment violates the "postercomment compression filter" without it.

Is that performance so good, it makes you dizzy?
All your data are belong to Fry!
Here is some more information about the Northern Alliance and Shah Massoud.

There were no explosives in the van.

Wow, Cox has deployed IPv6 already? ;)
PostScript compresses well with standard compression formats such as gzip or bzip2.
