I guess someone with your condition would have given this much more though that me...but the biggest turn off for me about this technology would be losing the sense of touch.
I suspect that getting this from a bionic arm will come ALOT later than dexterity.

And that's about it. If it has enough geek appeal, it will get posted.
Hell, you could even try submitting it again a couple days later;)
MySQL AB, Zend, Redhat and so on are all very different entities from an individual trying to make a part time second income off a personal software project.
So do you think the only way to make a direct cash return on a personal open source project is by giving over to it full time?
How would you manage this centrally for a secure subset of sites, like how you could create a group policy in active directory to, for example, add a set of site to the trusted zone, enable windows authentication for the trusted zone, and then apply that policy to a particular group of users?
It is a rebuttal for the argument: "God must have created us, we're too complicated", I don't see how anyone could use that line of reasoning to argue against God existing.
ssh://user@host/path/to/dir works great in gnome for me without having to mount anything
as does
smb://windowsuser@windowshost/sharename/path/to/dir for windows hosts
One thing I'd really like but haven't been able to figure out is how to get it to translate windows links my colleagues send me (s:\path\to\shared\file.doc) to something nautilus understands (smb://usernameforSdrive@HostForSDrive/ShareForSDrive/path/to/shared/file.doc) - seems non trivial but would be a real timesaver.
I think this is different. There is no geographic limit to broadcasting on the Internet. If television signals were broadcast around the world it would undermine the BBC syndicating programmes abroad, which would increase the pressure on funding through television licenses.
The BBC seems to believe that when broadcasting online the only way they can prevent the general population of the BBC's overseas viewers receiving the programmes is by only distributing to UK IP addresses, and using DRM to tie it to that machine. Further they believe that the only platform capable of doing this is WMV with DRM.
You can discuss the validity of these three assumptions (1> Global distribution for free would increase the cost of the license, 2>DRM is necessary to prevent this, 3>WMV is the only way to do this effectively), but as long as I believe all three are correct I think the BBC should continue what it is doing.
such as restricting playback to the UK, where if you have a PC capable of watching it, you must have a license Not quite. You only need a license if you are capable of receiving the television broadcasts. Actually I think that the letter of the law says you only need a license if you use equipment to receive the broadcasts (ie you don't need one if you have a tv but only use it to view CCTV, of DVD's).
That said the TV licensing people are very very aggressive. They seem to think a residential address not having a licence is evidence of infringement in itself.
Requiring people to work before then even know how to contact you = fewer customers. I'd also shy away from an image because I'd be worried it'd piss people off when they try to copy and paste the address.
Personally I do away with emails on sites wherever I can. Stick to a data entry form with captchas or, a rather interesting idea I think I read Slashdot somewhere - put some extra fields in a form which are not visible. If anything is posted in these fields you can strongly suspect it has been entered by a machine, rather than a person.
If I had to put an email on the site and wanted to obfuscate it my preference would be using a bit of javascript to write out the email address from some encrypted string. But you know how arms races go...
And on a side note - has anyone noticed how Firefox's spell checker thinks javascript and captchas are spelling errors?
I think if you really want to make forgieries difficult you have to drop some of the convenience of online banking.
At the moment, once I'm logged in I can make most any transaction I like. How about if, before I'm allowed to transfer money to anyone who I never have before I'm required to add them in as an authorised payee. If the process for doing this involved me receiving an SMS message where I'm required to actively make an effort and reply direct to the Bank to authorise the new payee from my own phone, it would be a significant blow to the phishers I'd of thought.

Is that the one where Picard gets assimilated?

You're drunk, aren't you.
I know I am, and I was just about to post what you did.

Well it told me altavista:

oooh, handy.
Problem with that is it requires some human intelligence to set the challenge.
Surely not hunting deer if they didn't shoot a real one. Criminal damage perhaps?
Is a video game a video game to the characters in a video game?
A little, yes.

Browser Wars 2: This time it's amicable
I got a debit card when I was under 18.
How difficult would it be (for people who'd care about this) to change the keymap so it does something else?

I think the (faulty|irrelevant|stupid) thinking behind this nonsense is probably more like:
Pick one guy with an Arab name. Pick one guy without. Statistically the guy with the Arab name is more likely to be a terrorist.
The decrease in liklihood of a fatal injury not using you phone causes is insignificant compared to the decrease you get from removing metal jewelery?
Yep. Wake me up when aliens and predator start kicking each other's asses, please.
How ironic, I fell asleep last time I saw that happening.
