  1. NAT, not SATA, nor IDE on Digital Storage To Survive a 25-Year Dirt Nap? · · Score: 1

    How about using network attached storage instead? A Cat5e connection will likely still be used in the future, given that buildings are built with the wiring in the walls, and certainly are built to last 25 years. And given that all major flavours of OS's can access NAT storage, it will likely still be supported for quite some time to come. Of course, the media the NAT storage device uses (as well as the hardware itself) will need to last as well.

  2. Re:Use consistent fakes on Password Resets Worse Than Reusing Old password · · Score: 1

    So once someone has cracked (or an unscrupulous website administrator has stolen) one website's database where your fakes have been stored, they could attempt a breakin of other websites you visit.

  3. Only broken if e-mail cracked on Password Resets Worse Than Reusing Old password · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is this really that much of a security issue? The new password is sent to your registered e-mail address, and only if you log in with the new password will your old password be changed. Otherwise, your password remains unchanged. So, unless the e-mail is sniffed in transit, or your e-mail account has been hacked, this shouldn't be an issue.

    airlines will achieve significant fuel savings by flying more direct routes ... but I can't for the life of me come up with any good ideas.
