    I have not seen a page that firefox doesn't render correctly since it was called firebird.

    a special unlicensed charging cable for the blind? are you high?

    this detection is for the cable not for devices on the other end of the cable.

    as far as i know DNA is not being used anywhere for authentication, if it were, it would be almost as bad as fingerprints the only edge it would have is the large technological barrier to manipulating and duplicating it

  4. Re:If true on CCC Says Apple iPhone 5S TouchID Broken · · Score: 5, Interesting

    fingerprint identification is fundamentally and irredeemably broken. no other authentication method leaves copies of itself all over the place.

    everything else is an arms race between verifying it is a finger and pretending to be a finger.

    no need to install/update no need to migrate preferences from device to device, no need to deal with different UI on different platforms, no issues with loss of support on your platform.

  15. Re:Discouraging underage use? on Obama Admin Says It Won't Fight Looser Marijuana Laws, With Conditions · · Score: 1

    as long as the permitting process is strreamlined for simple compliance and simple enforcement it will not be worth it to illegally avoid taxes.

    issue permits with a duration and number of plants, with no restrictions on how permits can be combined or treansferred with the plants, this way if a friend is going to plant-sit for you just bring your permit with the potted pot plant and they are in compliance too, each permit would just have a # of plants it covers, a start and expiration date, and a serial # so it can be validated.

    alternativly have a sign over requirement where a transfer fee must be paid and each certificate must be registered to an owner with the state, this would be necessary if there were different laws regarding commercial scale and personal scale production or caps on production

  16. Re:Discouraging underage use? on Obama Admin Says It Won't Fight Looser Marijuana Laws, With Conditions · · Score: 2

    growing pot is quite a bit of work. right now it is worth it because it is illegal so a) the price is high and b) the enterprises selling it are shady

    once those issues are cured with legalization, the effort time and legal risk of a tax evasion charge would really not be worth it compared tyo walking down to the gas station and buying a pack of scooby snacks.

  24. Re:Not quite the right conclusion... on Federal Judge Declares Bitcoin a Currency · · Score: 1

    there is nothing about bitcoin that makes it impossible to regulate.

    bitcoin exists independently of national governments and functions without needing the support of governments or corporations (ACH, VISA, etc.)

    the design of bitcoin means it is easier for a lawless individual to disregard regulations but most laws are easy to break especially if you don't care about getting caught.
