  1. Re:2 Factor does not require bulky items on Banks to Use 2-factor Authentication by End of 2006 · · Score: 1

    That's not two factors, that's just a really long password ("something you know"). It's just semantically split into seperate parts to make it easier for you to remember.

  2. Re:There is already two factor authentication on Banks to Use 2-factor Authentication by End of 2006 · · Score: 1

    That's not two forms. It just one form, half of which serves to identify you, and half of which you can change.

    It's about 1.5 inches long. Which would be annoying to carry around on a keyring. I keep mine hidden at home since I don't need to log onto ETrade during the day.

  4. Re:Why tiles? on Walking In A VR Future · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Because it's hard to make a treadmill wrap around infinitely in two directions. What you areally need is a 30 foot diameter sphere set in the floor. Think of a giant trackball, with you stood on top, and the contact rollers below being motorized to drive it. Then imagine a bug in the computer that makes it impossible to get off it, no matter which direction you run in, you stay in the same place. Where did I read that?
