We can pretty much assure that the average IQ of MySpace participants is far lower than the general population (for the other half, that is less than 100).
Only post what you are...willing to show to your neighbors.
Like a bulletin board stand next to your local neighorbood mailbox.
PIN + ACCOUNT back into a COOKIE HASH which is the MOTHER OF THE ALL tracking mechanism... Just try to use Google toolbar WITH a cookie cutter extension.
Need I say more?
So what if it's encrypted iF Google has the encryption key. From the FAQ:
Why do I need to provide a PIN?
The PIN you create during setup is used to encrypt information that's synced between your computers, which may include sensitive information such as your passwords for websites. We use your PIN to unlock that information.
So, after much years of expensive research dollars, Microsoft IE server has FINALLY become a highly optimized and finely honed webserver that serves just a single static page?
Most lopsided lie (um,,, I meant statistic) I've ever seen.
I bet most people wouldn't know this seemingly urban myth...that water is NOT always good to fight fire with, particularly when:
1. the accelerant base is excessively fluid, in which water would only spread the fire.
2. In vacuum or space, water gets vaporized. Fire-fighting in space must be a new science here.
3. In deep ocean, nothing burns for too long.
4. fire is WAY WAY too hot (not normally found in nature, but magnesium fire is one), in that case, the water BECOMES the fuel with continuous splitting of water molecules at that ultra-hot zone plus recombinant energy from refusion in colder zone.
Hey NASA? Would that make a new jet engine using compressed (deep ocean) water as a compacted, cheap and efficient fuel storage? Need to kickstart this, somehow? Oh, wait, its called Tomahawk fusion... drat...
Because social engineering is the BIGGEST weakness in today's computer security, 'root' modeling found in most class B1/B2 of the Orange Book is now rapidly becoming obsoleted. Windows is still a sub-C1 class. Linux is currently C2, trying to gain B1 (SELinux). BSD has attained B1, commercially and with addons.
So, boxing out the various resources and issuing privileges to a subclass of users becomes a much needed feature in addressing this weakness.
You-know-who DID stole these features from Amarok.
Quite possibly the best media player that Ive played with.
It has the following features:
1. Searchable by partial keywords on title/artist
2. Shows record art cover associated with the song
3. Displays LYRICS (oooohhh)
4. Plays both static media files and streaming medias
5. Has minimal skin, but its better than WM.
I dare say, that you-know-who, has ripped off the open-source community of its ideas.
Oh yeah, its available only on Linux/KDE platforms.
If the Secured Edition Linux policy along with BSD's nearly error-free coding is merged with Minix3 along with POSIX capability support, then we have a good start.
I'd be glad to give all my Windows platform for one Über-secured OS.
Pshaw! Hogwash! Biggest F.U.D. I've read since Al Gore invented the internet!
Here's why...
ISP CANNOT AFFORD to pass-the-buck. The competition is intense. Besides, smart ISPs will simply pick a cheaper backbone provider. That is where the real competition is. The Backbone, it is.
The 100 thousands of peering arrangements is working out just fine and are profiting nicely.
Rollouts of 10 Gbps and 100 Gbps are ramping up like crazy, but the load is ridiculously low, not even over 10% bandwidth utilization yet in the majority of these links. (Source: CAIDA)
The cost of bandwidth is actually dropping like flies. This causes many peering arrangements to be broken, and mostly created as pricing dynamic hits them.
Millions of dark fibers are awaiting to be deployed (legacy of Dot-Com days). I'm betting heavy money on these dark horses.
Relax...
ISP has good days ahead of them. Heck, it is even a good time to start an ISP.
By having a core administrator team that comprises of the IT as we know... the 2nd tier would compose of subject experts (i.e., Hacker, Whiz, Nerds, people that matters).
With that two-tiered system, the problem can be had by people going to their local expert firstly before going on to the IT.
This works best in medium-sized company where managements treats IT like crap or in large-sized but progressively-managed company where hiearchy is not rigidly enforced, particularly within IT.
We all know who the 3rd tiers are: Lusers, wannabes, clueless, frustrated or uneducated.
There are other commendable historic computer that are worth being restored:

Me? I'm partial to the PDP-11/70 where one can actually WATCH the HUGE magnetic drum spin EVER SO SLOWLY. I'm still amazed that the capacity of these drum was an impressive 32 MegaBYTES in 1979!
Each MUST be able to revoke one of the other two for such a successful system. Right now, the biggest problem in today's computing world is the consumer/user cannot revoke.
Without user revokation, the system is ineffectual against abuse (i.e., identity thefts, innocent arrest records, stuck with a Social Security Number)
What is needed is a 3-way public key exchange algorithm (can't even find that in Google).
I take immense pride as a parent in watching my son program a checker game using C. He covered the following with pretty uncanny ability for an 8 year old.
1. Mastery of basic X,Y grids (graphics)
2. Basic rules of moves, king and jumping
The hardest coding part of which we discussed is programming of checker strategy implementation:
1. Sacrifical king
2. Cornering
3. Control of center board
What a throw-back! That makes my feeble 12-year old attempt, to program my 4-moves deep chess stratgem, pale by comparision. (And that was with a 64K Radio Shack Model II computer!)
My sons are already on their way to their career choices of tinker, tailor, soilder, sailor...as well as a programmer.
If the car cost more (like the hybrid Prius), there will still be a market (mostly eco-friendly consumers). And the oil industry remains largely intact (in face of new and emerging market demands from India and China).
The real threst to the existing petrochemical industry is when the cost of the hybrid falls below that of today's gasoline automobile.
Thank you very much, but it wasn't my intention to troll specifically on the oil industry and the 100 mpg carburetor, but goes to show that sitting on patent is a viable business decision.
The U.S. Patent database has numerous entries for enhancements of fuel mixtures.
Too many to list there but the earliest and the latest of patents shows that fuel-mixture enhancement patent being sat on is still alive and well.
I do recall several Ph.D. economic papers from years back that sitting on patent HAS BEEN and CONTINUES to be an economic cost-effective business practice.
Historically, companies have bought emerging patents for the primary reason of defending their existing business model.
Oil companies are no exception. There is a 100 mpg carburetor patent that an oil company is sitting on. Dozens of batteries patents are sat on by automotives, oil and petrochemical industries.
Microsoft is buying patent as a defensive mechanism against open-source software encroachments.
Proctor and Gamble has bought out some organic companies and then dissolved them overnite to protect their non-organic trade secrets.
Too many to mention...
A perfect reason for abolishing the patent system (I am a patent holder) so that the level playing field is attained (no more money wasted on litigation, lawyers, arbitration, licensing deals, cross-licensing deals). Think of the lower cost the product will become!!!!
Slashdot Mirror
Make the Social Security Number public to EVERYONE.
That's right, cat's out of the bag. Can of worm has been opened. Too late.
Ban use of Social Security Number as an identifier, except for Social Security, like it was supposed to be in the first place.
Each business entities must use their OWN issued numbers.
Wide-reaching Identity Theft Containment problem limited to just the affected business.
Now, it is time to look into three-way public keys to ensure that consumer data is not misused:
1. Merchant/Business/Corporation
2. End-user/User/
3. Arbitrator/Government
With keys signed by each other in 3-ways, secured identification and security of data compartmentilization has been greatly enhanced.
Each and every transaction is signed, sealed and delivered by all 3 parties.
Now, let's get an infrastructure going on this...
Even Bruce Schneier agrees to this.
Every physicsts know that when a spinning orb gets bulged out, the rotation slows down, only to spin faster again.... ad infinitium (almost).
This is normal Earth rotational speed oscillation on an eon scale.
Move along, nothing new to see here.
Get one of those nylon cloth book with a thick spline and over 150 plastic pocketed pages that holds 8 CDs each in plain view.
Thats one fine moonshine!

But OpenBSD needs a better security model, other than 'root'.
Microkernel may enable facilitation of security containtment modeling, with relative ease, such as SE-Linux or GRE-Security models.

Searchable.
It is a .... after much intensive code and network analysis ... a spyware.
Anyway, anything that phone homes a bunch of encrypted packets is spyware, in MY BOOK!
Yeah, right... Where do we put the identification metrics and how is it kept in check from unauthorized usages?
You have your basic triage of information:
1. Consumer/User/
2. Merchant/Provider
3. Arbitrator/Mediator/Authenticator
Each MUST be able to revoke one of the other two for such a successful system. Right now, the biggest problem in today's computing world is the consumer/user cannot revoke.

Your assumption about the 'same cost' is flawed.
If the car cost more (like the hybrid Prius), there will still be a market (mostly eco-friendly consumers). And the oil industry remains largely intact (in face of new and emerging market demands from India and China).
The real threst to the existing petrochemical industry is when the cost of the hybrid falls below that of today's gasoline automobile.
Which is what where we seems to be heading today.
Basic market force interaction.
