I started using anypassword a few weeks ago. We have too many systems at the office and I couldn't keep up with all the passwords. Then I started using it at home too. I like it. I haven't tried to crack it yet so I don't know how secure it is, but it seems better than most of what I've read so far in this thread.
I used to consider myself normal, but after reading this post I'm not so sure.
1. I drive 80 MPH in a 70 every day on the way to work.
2. I tell my wife her ass doesn't look big.
3. I never plan ahead for vacations, when the weekend comes I grab a bag and go do something, rarely knowing what beforehand.
4. I yell and hit the radio on the way home because the politicians are all idiots.
5. I don't have and example of this one, because I am overly cautious. I may speed by I use the 3 to 4 second rule and don't weave.
6. I'm frequently a day late on my bills, I read slashdot at work.
7. I am happy in my current marriage, but I was married once before and was what one might call a dog and have no remorse for it.
1. I have a da vinci book full of ideas, one of them will save the world.
2. I will win the lottery and then be able to fund said ideas and create a utopian earth.
3. Why doesn't anyone else see this?
4. Admiration is what motivates me at work, I always need people to swoon over my projects.
5. I'm American, who doesn't?
6. I'm selfish and always get my way.
7. I'm actually very empathetic, thats why I want to save the world...
8. Envy isn't me.
9. I always know best, isn't it obvious?
There were time driving in the car with my father and I'd want him to drive faster and he'd say no. He used to tell me "plain and simple its against the law", that was for speeding, seat belts, jay walking, etc. If it was illegal that was his response. When I was growing up I thought that it was smart fatherly advice and I accepted it. Now that I'm grown and see how laws are passed; I never realized how wrong he really was. There are a lot of stupid laws on the books that should have never been put on the books. I have my own children now and I won't be passing that little bit of advice along to them. My advice instead will be to be respectful of others, but always question authority; just be respectful in the way you do it. If I don't spend some time in jail in my lifetime I will have done something wrong. So far when I've gone to court I've managed to argue my cases properly and proved my point and had charges dropped. I just don't think most people are willing to fight for what is right, its easier to plea out and pay the fines and the courts are designed to encourage this behavior. If everyone challenged every abuse of authority and used every method of appeals the system would grind to a halt, the system couldn't handle the full case load.
Why even the FBI? Can't you make a complaint to ICANN and have them resolve the dispute? Also since it was a godaddy account that was hacked, couldn't they also complain to godaddy?
since the ban of all digital music online this new infographic show a stead drop in CD sales due to people getting off their computers and turning on the Radio. In this forgotten medium people can tune to an FM or AM frequency and find streaming music in a genre they find appealing.
I disliked Bush as much as the next guy, but if you think Obama is any better you've got issues. Obama is just better at spin, aka running the propaganda machine.
Even if the Rich guy sits on his money, the bank still lends it out. If the rich guy didn't sit on it there wouldn't be money for the banks to lend.
If he does spend the money he gives jobs to all the people who make whatever it is he bought. I don't know why people at a tech site would mod me down for promoting being an early adopter. If your making over $80,000 a year as a tech you're in the top 5% globally, maybe not in the US.
What is driving technology? Not the poor thats for sure. Cell phones (which then became cheap enough for the poor) where a luxury item for the super rich. Look at the progress made by Tesla Motors, that company wouldn't even exist if it was for super rich people wanting to make themselves a cool toy.
SpaceX who here isn't a fan of privatized space flight? You think the government is going to provide that? You think the poor are going to organize and make new technologies to get us into space? NO! It takes some crazy rich guy with a dream and the funds to pay for it.
Look, if you don't like rich people, then stop buying stuff from the store. Anything mass produced is making money for the person who thought up the best way to produce it. If you don't want them to get rich, build it yourself. If you don't want an executive to make million, then go to share holder meetings and vote against it. If its not a publicly traded company, and the company owner can stay in business while earning that large a pay check he DESERVES it and EARNED it.
All my heroes are uber rich technologists. I'm glad they made the millions they did, and I hope that some day I'll be in a position to make millions too. Isn't part of being a geek the dream of being the founder of the next big piece of technology or am I alone in that?
Also who said you can only buy 3 or 4 cars? One rich guy I know bought a FORD GT in every color and keeps them in an airport hanger near his house. He also has Humvee's and other vehicles for other purposes.
Also that 2% of people are the ones who are driving technology. They want a cool new toy, they pay for the research, development, etc for their toy and a few years later we get something cool at a fraction of the cost. Not only that they got people to volunteer their money by offering something that people wanted, instead of putting a gun to my head and taking 30% of my paycheck that if I refuse to pay puts me in jail.
Has anyone tried to simulate an organism at the cellular level? Take a very simple organism and simulate all the processes involved. Its been a long time since I took biology or chemistry but many functions of cells are well known and the chemistry involved is very well known. How hard would it be to simulate cell processes and then combine them in a simulator? Start at the DNA level of a virus, then work to a single cellular organism, then to a multi cellular organism and see where we end up. Would be a really neat project. I'm not saying the processing power required to do this would be light, but it seems like a doable project.
I don't think they mean model it by MRI. I think it might be a more chemical model. Create virtual neurons. On the principle that anything that can be done in hardware can be done in software and vice versa it could be possible to create an artificial neuron. From there replicate and see what happens.
Call me naive, but couldn't we just create a complex neuron object with different methods for handling the different types of synapse paths and then replicate creating interconnections recursively then start inputting stimuli and see what happens? But I'm sure this has been done before and didn't work. It just seems like a great object programming lesson.
This is the post I was looking for! Bumble bee wasn't a Camaro, yeah in the new movies he is, but to anyone who grew up watching the original he'll always be a bug. I've been watching "Pimp my Ride" on speed the last couple of weeks, and I'd love to see someone "pimp" a classic VW bug into a "classic" Bumble Bee.
I know they have software similar, but not for the XBox with achievement points. Nothing like addictive positive feedback to keep you motivated in your practice.
A keyboard game that starts with the "home" keys and basic notes and scrolls them across the screen in rhythm like guitar hero/rock band, but uses real notes instead of button presses would be really cool.
The only problem is people would probably learn bad form. Its been years since I took real piano lessons, but you could pick up some nasty habits learning to play this way; but at least you could really learn to play...
I know it is stupid to talk on the phone while driving, so I don't do it. There are exceptions to the rule:
I have a preset text "Heading Home" that I send to my wife once I get out of traffic.
I can't find my destination and need the person on the other side to guide me to the destination.
Meeting people at a yet to be determined destination, i.e. I'm driving south they are driving north and we want to meet at the exit where we would cross. Depending on driving conditions that could be any number of exits so you call while on the interstate to verify each others location and then modify what exit to meet at.
Wife calls and needs me to pick something up at the store. I find out she needs me to stop, then I call her back for the details when I reach my destination.
In any case these conversations are pertinent to the moment at hand, usually have to do with driving and are short and to the point. I don't answer while in traffic, but I'll call back as soon as I get to a cruising speed on the interstate. Making a law against talking on the cell phone or texting is impractical since there are cases where it is perfectly safe where people would be fined.
Just like you can drink one beer and still drive home, there are calls/texts you can do while driving that are still safe and it shouldn't be made illegal. Having a full texting conversation while driving is as insane as driving drunk, but relaying a 1-2 word status once during a trip shouldn't be dangerous. Also talking to your boy/girl friend from the time you get in the car till you get out is as bad as being drunk as well.
Its kinda like seat belts, you should wear it, but there shouldn't be a law against not wearing it. You're just setting yourself up for a Darwin award if you don't.

That the company trumpeting how 1984 wouldn't be like 1984 was the company to most make it like 1984?

Here you go. Another comparison for you to attempt.

Have you checked Argentina yet? I hear its nice down there this time of year.
Mod this man up, boy aren't we calling the kettle black.
So what, they pulled it from the official application store, can't you just download and install it yourself from the application developer?
I wouldn't know since all I got is a crappy Audiovox CDM 8945...

Ug, I explicitly query all my ideas in Google.
It totally makes sense now. All my great ideas... stolen by Google!

Found it. My curiosity was peeked so I Googled it. To bad its not for XBox360. I'm addicted to achievement points.
I've seen 3 people make this request in this thread alone. (including myself)
They say the best software comes from developers who get an itch they want to scratch. Maybe 'we' should get started on that...

I have almost wrecked due to a scantily clad woman, I can't recall ever almost wrecking when on the cell phone.
That doesn't justify making a law against it.
