When you visit a website (country), they want to make sure it's you so they as for you OpenID (passport). To verify the OpenID (passport) is yours, they ask you to type in your password (compare your face to the picture) and contact your ID hosting website (scan your passport).
Everytime I see ads on TV, I think to myself "Ugh, disgusting. Obnoxious ads!" Then I hit the mute button, read a couple pages of my book or read a few comments and check back on the visual vomit to see if the show is back on.
There are plug-ins available for it. OTR has some nice properties including the fact that messages are encrypted, but still deniable. What this means is an eavesdropper cannot read what you write, but at some later time an attacker with an unencrypted copy of the conversation cannot prove that you wrote it.
The goal of the project is to provide a level of security similar to meeting in a private place an d talking. Privacy without a paper trail.
While I respect the spirit of the post, The first part is not informative. There's a reason key servers are called public key servers. When you upload your key to the server, you only upload the public half of the key. By definition, this part is meant to be distributed and does not compromise the security of your key-pair.
Only tested sustained write speeds.Has the impression that performance is copying multigigabyte files around all day.
Ignored the silence advantage.
Didn't consider power savings.
Didn't test seek speeds. When asked about ignoring the 20:1 advantage SSDs have in seek speed, responded:
But keep in mind that it's only one component of the overall operation. These were all freshly formatted drives so fragmentation shouldn't be an issue and the longer the operation under that condition, the less it tends to matter.
SSDs might even slow down slightly because some are built intelligently enough to not write to the same location each time (and thus prematurely "wear out" segments of memory which are, after all, limited use within context).
Comparing 3.5 inch 7200 rpm drives to 2.5 inch SSDs
Another salient FACT is the FACT that the next President will be Republican. Both Obama and Clinton have far too many people who hate them for either of them to win the General Election. I'm curious how much money you intend to make with that fact. I'm honestly curious, because the prediction markets have Dems taking the presidency at about 60%. You could stand to make a lot of money if you're confident the markets are wrong.
What's your opinion about the idea that God created life on Earth and set up evolution to eventually create human beings (to whom he eventually sends his son)?
I'm an agnostic, so I'm unsure about the existence of God, but even I can see the beauty in that.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that "only a theory"ists are deliberately ignoring the scientific definition of theory to further their propaganda. It kind of makes me wish that we could somehow force people to understand things before they try to use them. That way people would actually appreciate all of what science and technological progress has done for us.
I believe GP was talking about the old belief that maggots came out of nowhere. I was taught about this in school as well. The point of that lesson was that we eventually created magnifying technology and found that the maggots were eggs being laid by flies (or something... it's been a few years since I've taken any sort of biology course).
FEAR FEAR! Hide your precious Children away! Terrorists, SEX, HACKERS!
They might learn something about the Internet! They might be exposed to the outside world! They might learn something from their experiences! They might compete with the rest of us in the global economy!
Last.fm's radio feature used to let you put more than one artist into the box. Then it would generate a station based on those artists. THAT was awesome. I believed they stopped because some of music companies complained that it was too much like on-demand radio.. Which is stupid because if someone already wants to hear something, they'll have bought the CD or pirated already.
And before you say Pandora does this, my counter argument is that Pandora stations all sounded exactly like the seed music that I put in. Lastfm gave me more variation around the artist input. I think this is because of the difference between the two models. Lastfm is a more fuzzy social model, people who listen to this also like these artists. Whereas Pandora has a tighter model, this song has these elements, you might like these other songs that have similar elements.
Finally, I don't like in the USA so I don't get Pandora anymore.
Yes, the person who uploaded you the file did not obtain the right to distribute the show. When you copied it from your Tivo to your computer, that falls under fair use.
If you turn around and create a torrent for it, you cross the line once more and are a copyright infringer.

soundexpert.info seems to do what you suggest. Multiple bitrates, other formats, blind test, AND they do higher and lower bitrates.

The instructions seem fairly simple as well. Download the test file, listen to the samples, and fill out a short questionnaire.

OpenID == Passport
Websites == Countries
Password == That picture of you

Dear mods and metamods, how is this a troll post?
If you don't sign the message, you lose authentication. OTR provides authenticated deniable encryption.

Anything else to add?
Flamebait? Look at the headline: "OCZ Prepares Neural Impulse Actuator for Shipping"
It's so easy to read that as "OCZ prepares to overclock your brain."
So is it safe to say that lawyers are like XML?...
I thought you were going to tell the zany story about what you saw in the webcam pics. Then you made a .gif. This is why I love slashdot.

Check out Google's talk about their BigTable implementation. The way it is designed strongly implies that what you suggest is already being done.
