  2. blackberry + encryption on Australian Journalist Arrested, Released After Detailing Facebook Flaws · · Score: 1

    If you are a journalist there is no excuse not to be using a blackberry with encryption enabled. By using an unsecured ipad he has compromised the security and safety of all his contacts. there are acceptable android encryption programs but they are not secure against a rootkit and they do require that you know what you are doing.

  4. Re:My version on Can Computers Be Used To Optimize the US Tax Code? · · Score: 1

    The poor typically spend all of their income, so under your system they would pay 10% income tax, the rich spend only a small portion of their income and so would be paying 5% or less. Fairness issues aside you would also have to gut nearly every function of government

  5. Re:Answer isn't universal. on Do Developers Really Need a Second Monitor? · · Score: 1

    answer is universal, give your developers as many monitors of any reasonable size they ask for.

    if you don't trust your employees fire them and get employees who will be honest about what they need to do their jobs, but if one guy wants a 4th monitor making an inverted T config so be it, if other devs see the setup and think it will help them they can have it too. If you can't afford to give your craftsmen (and women) the tools they need to work effeciently then you can't afford to be in business, and you won't be soon enough.

    Anonymous isn't an organization, it's a disorganization. Mst of the time it idles in pure chaos, every once in a while a large majority act in the same direction at the same time and something happens. There are no membership requirements or registries (except the sex offender registry). Anyone has just as much right to act in the name of anonymous as anyone else.

    On blackberry there is no need for rooting or sideloading, if I want to install an app from an unsanctioned source I browse to the app with the blackberry browser, click on it, confirm that I want to install it and it is done. It is by far the most PC like platform.

  19. Re:Very simple system on Ask Slashdot: How Do You File Paper Documents At Home? · · Score: 1

    there are simple safeguards you can take to protect your money while using electronic transfers to pay bills.

    the simplest is to have 2 accounts.

    I/O checking account to take direct deposits and make electronic payments

    savings/ATM to keep your money in and get at your money as needed with your pin which you do not write down.

    bulk storage of money should be in CD's

    the reason i have the ATM tap off the savings is so i can't forget how much is going out on a check and withdraw too much, if i am logged in to the online interface i am looking at the check history so i know what may have not cleared yet (my landlord sometimes caches my checks instead of cashing them, record was around 85 days)

    canon used to sell a module for the old BJC line of inkjet printers which was a replacement print head with a scanner instead of a printer on it. i never owned one but saw it in the catalog that came with the printer, pretty nifty though i imagine running it though the same spot as the ink carrier goes would eventually lead to fouling as ink residue got on the scanner.

  21. Re:scanner + evernote on Ask Slashdot: How Do You File Paper Documents At Home? · · Score: 1

    the OP was about archiving data, a transient cloud service is the opposite of that, it could disappear any day without warning then you may or may not be able to untangle the cached remains of your data into something useful assuming that the process of shutting down does not cause a null sync to wipe your cached data as well.

    granted you can still export to HTML but the software should be exporting snapshots regularly, and it doesn't.

    digital archives really need to be in computer and human readable basic formats, flat text files, jpg or bmp for images, HTML, or hell even latex, it's a bit obscure but a human can open the file and read the content without a functioning viewer, which may not be around and executable under future computer systems.
