I refuse to open my garage door manually! I WON'T DO IT, YOU CAN'T MAKE ME!!!
I will sit in my car and scream profanities at my house and the air force while pushing the button on my opener over and over and making that odd throwing motion with the transmitter like it's going to add enough energy to the radio waves to make them work better (you've done it too, you know you have).
Wait, who can I sue?/me goes to find a shyst^H^H^H^H^Hlawer.
So what? Are you the guy that plants his ass in the fast lane because you don't think people should be speeding? It's not your job to enforce the speed limit, it's the job of the police. It's not your job to make sure people don't hog bandwidth on a public access point, asshat, take it up with management or buy a cellular card.
Yeah. A bunch of Harvard MBA idiots realized their methods sucked, so they watched how good programmers do it, then slapped a label on it, published a book and mandated it.
Yes, Comcast's rf plant is backed up. My phone works even if power to my house is down, just like a telco. It's a requirement imposed by the FCC. For the extra $10, I think it's worth it to be able to call 911 even (especially) if the lights are out.
Boobies are a prime cause of terrorism. Tyrannical Islamic restrictions on sexuality with the promise of scores of virgin wives when entering heaven causes all the bunged up fanatics to blow themselves up so they can finally get laid.
With that headline I wanted to see a Remotely Operated or Autonomous Vehicle that looked like a squid, but would record what it saw through it's big creepy eye (cue closeup shot of the eye containing a ghostly aperature stopping down behind the lens with a faint, high-pitched whir) and transmit it back to a fuzzy monitor on a garbage scow, the video surrounded by black clad 20-somethings in knit caps, smoking thin brown cigarettes and led by a tall redhead knockout with a single minded passion to save the oceans and great rack.
It'll never happen with the current philosophy of email, that's too much information given away to a remote system, it's an invasion of privacy. You have to have the cooperation of the receiving system and I, for one, won't ever give that to you on my mail servers.
You need to come up with a new protocol that allows for immediate delivery and a backwards flow of delivery information. Something like... hmmmm... I don't know, maybe IM! Which someone already suggested!
It already exists, use it.
Besides, just because it got delivered to the remote server doesn't mean it didn't get lost somewhere on that server, or the disk didn't die and lose all the mail, or the server didn't catch on fire, or the recipient didn't delete it without reading it, or die in a car accident before they got to work. You think you're being clever, but you're not.
I thought it kicked ass when, in the Matrix Reloaded, Trinity used nmap to port scan another computer to find port 22 open, but when she used a program called "sshnuke" to exploit SSHv1 CRC32... I almost peed my pants.
You're right. I completely resent Ford corporation for forcing me to learn to use a stick shift when I got my first car. Then there were blinkers and windshield wipers, and don't get me started on that fricking radio. Those bastards, I'm never buying one of their products again.
After reading the FAQ on OTR, I see the other "feature" is deniability, whatever that's worth. If you can't trust the person on the other end of the wire, you shouldn't be saying anything you don't want disclosed. A transcript of the conversation and the other person's statement under oath, or that of the NSA agent that recorded the conversation, is enough for a jury to convict. Everything I said about capturing the key exchange and a compromised PGP key still stands.
Going back to my previous post, i.e. why reinvent the wheel, if OTM can be implemented as a plugin in Gaim, then it could be added to any client. So why invent yet *another* messaging protocol when a perfectly acceptable and interoperable one exists? Oh, right, because they want to lock the users into their network, silly me.
If someone is able to record the conversation and replay it with a compromised PGP key, then they could capture the key exchange and use that with the compromised PGP key to come up with the "shared secret" (or "session key" as it's referred to in the crypto world). Either you're explaining it badly, or I don't see the benefit. If the keys are compromised, you're fuqued.
The only advantage I see would be added resistance to some sort of attack that leveraged a large quantity of cyphertext to reverse engineer the key pair. Since each session has it's own keypair, it limits the amount of cyphertext that can be captured.
Someone may argue a *slight* advantage when it comes to adding people to the conversation, but PGP allows for encrypting to multiple recipients with different keys. Admittedly, it is more computationally intensive to encrypt to multiple recipients, but how many people are on this conference call?
Jabber can use TLS, it can also use PGP encryption over TLS or an unencrypted TCP connection, it's an open protocol documented in IETF standards track RFCs 3920-3923 and Jabber servers can communicate with each other just like SMTP servers. I installed my Jabber server in an afternoon and I can talk from my server to any other Jabber user, including GoogleTalk users.

Neutral, like we were during the part of WWII before Pearl Harbor?

LOL! I wish I had points to mod you up. :-)

Plus, it involves geeks going out into the sunlight. I, for one, don't want to lose my unhealthy pallor.
Tha Mink +1
So does any decent API, and it is the API, not the language. Perl still sucks for so many other reasons.
Socrates never would have said that, he was Greek, so he would have spoken Greek. Geez.

Those of us who support the legislation prefer to call it 'The Castle Doctrine'. It's a minor semantic thing, but we think it's more apropos.
M-x vi-mode
vi is such a trivial subset of the functionality of emacs that it's have a vi mode for well over 15 years.

Definitely!

*Sigh*
Oh, are you still here?

Only because she got naked. There's no other reason to watch that movie.
If I know anyone on MySpace, I'm not aware of it.
The right server to put in there is "pool.ntp.org". I would have hoped the someone at D-Link was aware of that DNS pool.
Stupid European, can't even spell "teh"
It's like the difference between me and my audiophile friends with their >$12K sound systems... I listen to music, they listen to their stereos.

I'm no crypto expert
Clearly.

Nothing like reinventing the wheel.
