How much should we really trust an organization that doesn't even use SSL for their login page or secure report delivery. If you go to http://www2.uthscsa.edu/nnsis/ and try to get a secure report, you'll get redirected to a login page (http://www2.uthscsa.edu/nnsis/logon.cfm?target=enterdata) that isn't secure. I mean that is like the bare minimum to securing data. How much you want to bet that they have the kids personally identifiable information sitting on some easy to access table? Also isn't this a violation of HIPAA? I know that not using SSL is a violation, also encryption of the personally identifiable information has to be encrypted on disk as well..
It's better to use the native tethering inside the iPhone. The steps are: 1) Jailbreak your phone: http://www.redmondpie.com/jailbreak-iphone-3.1.2-firmware-with-blackra1n-zni327/ 2) Enable native tethering: http://www.redmondpie.com/enable-tethering-on-iphone-3g-3gs-3.1.2-firmware-eqw846/ 3) Make sure you have the correct mobileconfig (not the benm.at one): http://www.redmondpie.com/fix-iphone-3.1.2-tethering-and-visual-voicemail-vvm-ows754/
var omitformtags=["input", "textarea", "select"] omitformtags=omitformtags.join("|")
function disableselect(e){ if (omitformtags.indexOf(e.target.tagName.toLowerCase())==-1) return false }
function reEnable(){ return true } if (typeof document.onselectstart!="undefined") document.onselectstart=new Function ("return false") else{ document.onmousedown=disableselect document.onmouseup=reEnable }
So you can see that with the exception of select input and textareas, they disable selection when the mouse is pressed and re-enable it when the mouse is released.
I have a 3G laptop card and an iPhone. The laptop card works great in less dense areas. When I even get near downtown Chicago I have full bars of signal strength and really slow page loading. This same thing happens with the iPhone. My point is that it isn't the devices that are the problem; it's the network.
Anecdotally, I started to notice the degradation on my laptop card in the Summer of '08.
Java web start is the first thing that I thought of when I saw the "The Best of Both Worlds" chart in the article. I guess the difference is the programming language used to implement the application.
I have OSX laptops using portable home directories to do exactly what you are asking for.. a network home directory that is automagically sync'd to my laptop (thus making it portable). It works both ways, and I'm definitely happy with it. I'm not sure which OS you're using though. I wrote about how to do it in an article: Full Stack: Portable Home Directory over NFS on OSX authenticated via OpenLDAP on Debian Linux if you're interested. I also just got everything to work over AFP to an OSX server running open directory as well.. but haven't had time to write it up yet (btw, a lot fewer steps).
I posted a link to an article which lays out the argument more fully, but here's a short answer:
It is going to cost a lot of money ($11 billion) and does nothing to improve security. In fact, it creates a single point of failure for id theft.
Why don't the banks just issue digital certificates for their users and provide a secure way to download them? Then you could use the cert and a password to authenticate.. no MITM attacks due to the cert, difficult to impersonate.
This same sort of thing happened to Porsche when they listed "Palestine" on their world map instead of "Israel." Some jews in the states went ballistic on Porsche and got them change it.. I bet Germans not recognizing jewish states is probably how the taiwanese feel about being called china's bitch by google.
I wonder what the percentage of employees in the surveyed companies worked in some type of image creation capacity.. The creative folks seem to always use Macs.

whoosh..
or are you trolling the troll/grammar police and it's a whoosh for me? I feel like I don't know anything anymore..

Here's the script snopes uses:
var omitformtags=["input", "textarea", "select"]
omitformtags=omitformtags.join("|")
function disableselect(e){
if (omitformtags.indexOf(e.target.tagName.toLowerCase())==-1)
return false
}
function reEnable(){
return true
}
if (typeof document.onselectstart!="undefined")
document.onselectstart=new Function ("return false")
else{
document.onmousedown=disableselect
document.onmouseup=reEnable
}
So you can see that with the exception of select input and textareas, they disable selection when the mouse is pressed and re-enable it when the mouse is released.

Here's some reasons why it is problematic and people are against it..
Why don't the banks just issue digital certificates for their users and provide a secure way to download them? Then you could use the cert and a password to authenticate.. no MITM attacks due to the cert, difficult to impersonate.
Why not just change to C.mdrTaco or CmderTaco?
It was on Porsche's website.. not google. Porsche displays their dealers by country and had Palestine listed but not Israel.
This same sort of thing happened to Porsche when they listed "Palestine" on their world map instead of "Israel." Some jews in the states went ballistic on Porsche and got them change it..

Dork that I am, I actually looked up the RFCs you mentioned.. RFC 2549 looks like it actually exists (http://www.rfc-archive.org/getrfc.php?rfc=2549)! The other one is pretty damn funny http://hive.devilnet.net/rfc3203/PoS-InternetDraft .txt
but complete bs..
