  1. GPGMail on Mac OS X 10.4.1 Is Out · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Update disables GPGMail, and does not let the user enable it again.

  2. Re:The "We suggest you take off your shoes" rule on John Gilmore's Search for the Mandatory ID Law · · Score: 1

    I don't think that law is secret. Last time I passed through security I was told I had to take my shoes of. I have passed through the metal detector tens of times with those shoes so I told her that they did not contain any metal and it would not set of the metal detector. She immediately told me in a rehearsed faction if I refused to take my shoes of I had to go through a special search. I did not feel for any 'special treatment' from the security personnel so I removed my shoes without any fuss.

  3. SSN is the real problem on ChoicePoint Data Stolen By Imposters · · Score: 4, Funny

    The use of SSN as a PIN amazes me. The security relying way to much on the fact that no-one is suppose to have access to your SSN. If you get your SSN I can go say my wallet was stolen and you need to have new ID's made. Then get a stack of credit cards in your name. In a couple of days I'll be more you than you are. With so many people requesting to see you SSN in everyday life. This is a serious threat. My girlfriend was even asked to give up her SSN when she paid with a check at a grocery store because she was out of state.

  4. HIV manmade? on The Cure for Cancer Might be: HIV · · Score: 1

    The first thing that hit me was wouldn't this be an argument that HIV really is a manmade virus released into the wild by an accident. One can speculate that it could have been an experimental cure fore cancer.

  5. physical access on Student Logs Teachers Keystrokes · · Score: 1

    I wonder what kind of protection they use to protect the pen and paper that can not be applied to a computer..

  6. WTF?? on iPod Shuffle, Mac Mini, iLife '05, iWork · · Score: 1

    2. Do not eat iPod shuffle.

  7. Re:Is he susceptible to a lightening strike? on Make Your Own Cluster Balloon · · Score: 1

    Like most pilots he will probably try to avoid going into a thunderstorm. Thunderstorms are characterized by strong turbulence, which is not a fun place to be. Especially if you are flying something with as low maneuverability as a balloon cluster.
