Of course, this disincentivizes merchants to let people easily pay for things with a swipe (yif ou have to show your photo ID before you wave your card--defeats the point, doesn't it?). Which would make the whole thing moot.
How about just printing your photo on the card itself?
And the worse part is that while using Linux with only a user account is perfectly fine using Windows with anything less than administrator can be quite a pain in the ass because of the poorly coded software that wont settle for anything less than administrative rights.
Yes, you could decimate a city with that, but it's not going to be the end of civililiation as we know it like so many movies make out.
Neither is a plague. And you also forgot all those ICBMs, aircraft launched munitions and, of course, the russians.
Single warheads are often indeed sub-megaton but when theres 8 80-100Kt warheads in a single trident missile and 24 tridents aboard a single Ohio class submarine and 14 Ohio class subs.. even a single one of those boats could probably do more damage than any plague could dream of.
A Davy Crockett isn't going to bring about nuclear winter: you get far more soot from building a skyscraper or a small forest fire.
True, but the very time you decide to use nukular weapons you escalate the situtation considerably.
As for "advanced" biological weapons, they don't have to be advanced. In days ancient people would wage war by flinging dead cows over the city wall by catapult.
Yeah, but how useful that kind of strains are in the long run? Biological weapons are overhyped.
Human race has survived many many plagues and isolation pretty much eliminates the risk, nuclear winter on the other hand fucks up things pretty much everywhere. Not to mention the barrier for using an advanced biological weapon is much higher than some 2Kt bunker-buster.
Maybe they should stop paying attention to people who are better qualified to sell used cars than give any medical advice or do anything remotely scientific.
Well, they already returning it to the donators but they did manage to shave off some fees and that money is not going to the ones that are actually needing it.
Dunno if the windows encryption is so secure (I have a gut feeling it is not) but I can wholeheartedly recommend ultimaco safeguard easy with AES192. Top computer forensics here can't seem to do shit with it.
Having my computers seized by the Finnish equivalent of FBI I can confirm that the police are clueless when it comes to non-microsoft operating systems. They were smart enough to read my mails stored in thunderbird and dig up bitcomet logs though..
Kind of ironic considering Microsoft/BSA was the one that sic'd those guys on me in the first place.
Why cant they just put a separate usb slot for all that transferring stuff and just use a somewhat more secure solution that might not be even so bulky?

Reguardless, if I were developing a system for the next 10-20 years I would certainly aim a little higher than TDES - just my 2 cents.
Not if you are supposed to make profit. The customers won't care when it comes to cryptography anyways.
Methinks methanol is even cheaper and even more ecological.
Being a formet BT tracker admin we knew of this well over a year ago.
Just download the original client and change the source code if you want to automate the process.
.. and you still cant get them here.

100Mt would be more than a bit of exaggeration, the largest one so far is 50Mt and it was way overpowered and clumsy to use.
Not that getting carpetbombed by 2Mt MIRV warheads is too much fun either..
In fact maybe you should not. The moment they nuke some US base they will have tridents showering Tehran.
Same won't happen if the US nukes some research lab.
Generally speaking, businesses do best when they stick to their core business- when they stick to one thing that they know how to do.
Tell that to general electric.

I swear to god, this must be the first informative post so far that was TYPED IN ALL CAPS.
At 50k a year I would much more prefer a nicer working place than say 10k extra.

Fuck em'.
"If god would have wanted us to have fusion he would have not made it so damned hard!"
Just put it in a random place, I doubt even those kind of people would have the stomach/patience to find the damn thing.
Well, im sure that car manufacturers can make their cars go no faster than 120Km/h.
Or that CD-R manufacturers know their products are being used for copyright infringement.
Or that sports car manufacturers know their products are being used to exceed speed limits and endanger public safety..
Or that gun manufacturers know their products are being used to kill.
I have seen lot of nasty shit from paypal but this is the last straw. Just closed my account, I urge anyone else to do the same.
O Google (or any other relatively non-scummy company) where art thou?
