This entirely misses the point! I have this reliably working with IMAP, and for a long time.
The whole point of the mobile interface is that you can use it on any machine and keep synced.
This solution just creates one more, very imperfect, email client.
On the website they say they wait for people porting ZFS to other OS. I would hope it could be ported to linux, does anyone knows if the licence is compatible? This looks like a very very promising filesytem!!
Do you really want to be callable 14/7?
At least I hope you get a pay rise!

Since I am running MS OS, I am trusting (or risking) it already. This makes no sense!
I already have some 100MB of library that may (and do) contain bugs!
What the signature says is that that code come from MS, and that is a lot more than "I hope I typed the URL correctly".
1) Open Office acutally is mostly where the format comes from! Koffice will / is adopting it
2) No, MS will not adopt it, at least not anytime soon, it has only to lose from this format's success
3) for OO and Koffice, it means default.
I think it's quite promising as it is, try to download the last OpenOffice beta to see it in action. It's the default file format there
I am not really that expert, but probably, once you know the signature, you could derive a fingerprint that gives that signature, but cracking a hash is not supposed to be easy! I mean quite many security systems relay on hashing algorithms.
What you point out is anyway interesting, if the system is not well designed, somebody gets in, is able to recover the data of the fingerprint and that data is sufficient to create a new fingerprint, than yes, it could be a really big problem! I suppose ATM builders would use many different techniques to see that the fingerprint actually come from a living finger.
And wouldn't be easier to get the fingerprint from the glass you left at the bar or your house door or somewhere else? Probably this simple physical approach would be a lot more effective (no knowledge of security systems required!)
As far as I know, biometric devices store only a signature of your fingerprint (like a digest of key points), so the stolen data would be of little use. Moreover they care about security because they normally control access to places. I would worry more about the other data they could hold on their machines, which could contain more sensitive personal information and could be stored in less secure machines. There's still a lot of sensitive data (medical records etc.) stored in Access databases and similar by people not really expert on computer security, often in old not updated windows PCs... that scares a lot me more!
As long as they declare war on your country and occupy it, this may be true.
America's law is still not world's law and hopefully won't be anytime soon!
I guess that's why we have different nations in the end...

It is not OpenJDK, but "based on the BSD Port of Sun's Java 6 JDK, and is made available under the Java Research License"
Really? And the bad days when the internet connection is broken, Skype doesn't even allow you to call at all! How bad...

haha... wait is this question not a joke??
