Let me guess.. Your investment account manager told you this, didn't he? I'm sure he had some excellent commission-paying funds that he could get you hooked up with that were MUCH better investments.

Wow. A "public figure" who isn't power/attention-hungry.
Just so that you know, I have a lot of respect for the fact that you have maintained your humanity despite your fame within tech culture. It's good to see someone who is working to go a little green in their life for their own purposes, instead of the empty gestures so prevalent amongst the green-chic."Hey, look at what I did! I used a solar panel to help heat my garage where I keep my Hummer collection!"
That said-- What are you driving these days? (Answer or not, that's cool. I'm just curious.)
Of COURSE! You're right, it would be IMPOSSIBLE to find the same make/model of car. I could never find another like mine.. except that I see 15+ cars exactly like mine every single day.
Well, so much for THAT point. At least criminals can't work screwdrivers. You have a solid point there.
..It's the payload. All you need now is a good Bluetooth stack vulnerability that will allow you to associate, push code, and install it. THEN you have a security vulnerability.
As one of the crew that ran the Wifi Shootout in Vegas a couple of years ago, I can say that there won't be another Defcon Wi-Fi Shootout any time soon. We simply ran out of Line-of-Sight locations. I'll tell you right now that the iFiber Redwire team could have established that link were they to have the LoS.
You have a teenage kid. They just got their first car. Do you want to be able to find out if they have been in an accident and urgently need you there?
Your friend just got tossed in jail for whatever reason, and needs to be bailed out ASAP. The large tattooed gentleman who happens to be sharing a cell with him is looking at him awful funny..
You're out to dinner and your super high-end system with the overclocked math coprocessor sets the drapes on fire, leading to your home being engulfed in flames. Your neighbor is calling you to let you know so that you can try to salvage something of your belongings..
I know that you don't particularly care, but the people around you happen to have lives with important things happening all of the time. I know that the two or three "ring" tones that you hear before they pick their phone up are all terribly disruptive to your foie gras experience, but they might have a sick kid, a medical condition, or a grandmother on fire that actually matters to their lives.
Counter-point to that.. I'm a part of the OKC2600 crew, and we have monthly meetings that are open to the public. At one such meeting, there was a really creepy guy who kept asking questions about how people could push files onto a computer and such. Being wary of this guy, I did some research. Turns out, he was facing charges for having kiddie porn on a university computer. He was a professor at a community college. He MAY have been able to build up a good BS defense.. were it not for the fact that he had backed up large stacks of disks full of kiddie porn.
What if the profile was created from a school computer while they were on school grounds? By the idea of In loco parentis, wouldn't the school be acting as the parents? As one of the principals of the school, wouldn't she need to sue herself as she was partially responsible for the students' behavior?
It is VERY easy to make a bump key with something like hot glue or duct tape to keep it from scratching the outer part of the lock. As for the keys.. they're made to have metal scraped against them literally THOUSANDS of times.
I find it disturbing that people are willing to negate the rights of others so flippantly. "Oh hey, they're not really people. They don't need rights." The only reason why many people will do this is because they will never have to deal with the results.
When I was in HS, I was very well capable of making my own decisions. I was a mature, intelligent, and informed individual. I did not like that my school to treated me like a sub-human creature, and would resist any time I was able. The result? Well, the school's administration made me "disappear" with some creative lies to local law enforcement. It is a really long story.
Our schools are run by old men who revel in the power that is afforded to them by a government that no longer cares about citizens. I advise every high school student who might be reading this to rebel. Rebel hard, and don't let your spirit be extinguished by the old perverts who try to control your life.
Someone find me a list of students in that district. We'll create hundreds of fake blogs with those names talking about getting drunk, doing drugs, and having orgies.

Holy shit, did anyone count the negatives in that sentence? I think I spot.. Five. A quintuple negative. Wow.

P.S. - The Camp Woz thing sounds really cool.
You cannot copyright a recipe for a beverage. If you can figure the recipe out, go for it.

Just because we USED petrol doesn't mean that the petrol was the HERO in the equation. There are many other fuels that will make a vehicle go.

No, but it's a little like "Preaching to the choir."
He has more money than god, and his hair STILL looks like shit. Get a stylist, man..
Your local law enforcement officers will be at your door any minute now.
I -LOVE- my vac brew pot. It is the only way to properly make a good cup of coffee.

Um. In case you're unaware, you posted your comment on a /. article about ONLINE ADVERTISING.

....Just a thought.
Considering that I'm about to go back to bed with the wonderful woman I met on OKCupid, I would have to agree.

That would be the Cisco IOS stuff.
I've yet to find a web site which lists spots you can go to find free bicycles to ride.
