The issue is whether it is allowed in the system as the system exists, not whether it is technically possible. Of course if you can display it, you can save it and upload it elsewhere.
It seems that the invite-only PicasaWeb albums (where only specific google accounts have access) would no longer be invite-only. That alone is reason enough to not join G+. When signing up for G+, they gave the following notice:
Linking Google+ with Picasa Web Albums When you join Google+:
* [...]
* Your albums' visibility settings aren’t changed, but people they’re shared with can now share them with others.
* [...]
If they could fix this issue, I would sign up. Otherwise, forget it.
No, there were three privacy settings on the old picasa:
1. public and searchable 2. limited access - only those with the URL auth code can view (pass around the URL to your friends) 3. invite-only access - only specific google accounts can access.
The problem is that users of #3 could now re-share pictures they have access to. This breaks the invite-only capability.
When attempting to sign up for G+, I received a query about whether I wanted to join G+ and change my Picasa settings or leave them as is and not join. Here is what it said:
Linking Google+ with Picasa Web Albums When you join Google+:
[...]
Your albums' visibility settings aren’t changed, but people they’re shared with can now share them with others.

So invite-only albums would now allow re-sharing, which makes them no longer invite-only. This alone made me decide to not join G+.
This is less of a concern, this is the wiretaps requiring a warrant (meaning judicial oversight). The bigger concern is the warrantless wiretapping. All international calls, traffic analysis on all domestic calls, and who knows what else. It is safer to just asume everything is tapped. I can't count the number of times I've made a disparaging comment about the government on an international call (friends overseas) and added in a "Just kidding, NSA!" I'm ashamed of what this country has become.
I use five extensions, all quite mainstream. One was even produced by mozilla. ALL FIVE of them were incompatible with 5.0 and needed to be updated. What you're saying just isn't true about "poorly programmed extensions". The model is broken.
I walk on this street going to work, 47th between 5th and 6th. There is no way this guy is getting the equivalent of half an ounce of gold per week from the street. Its not like you look down and see flakes or anything. Insanity.
For those of us interested in developing financial services using bitcoin, how have you dealt with regulatory issues? It seems like the SEC and FINRA in the US would not be keen on unregistered broker-dealers and agents and owners not having the legally required Series 7 and Series 24 certifications. Have you sought the UK equivalent certifications? The requirements of lawyers, accountants, certifications etc. seem to put a very high capital cost on starting a legitimate business offering services in this space.
Includes and abstracts key NAT and firewall traversal technology using STUN, ICE, TURN, RTP-over-TCP and support for proxies.
Does anyone know how well this works in practice? It seems that some external server will be needed for coordination, making this very much less P2P than it would otherwise be.
Okay, you are correct on the MRZ. I thought those were mag printed characters like typically found on a US banking check, but apparently they are designed for OCR-reads, not magnetic reads. As for RFID, that is mostly semantics.. the important part is that it can be read over RF.
They don't have a mag stripe, they have mag printed characters. See the bottom two rows of text in this photo, the "http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Greek_Passport_inside_(Biometric).png
RFID passports are currently in production from several countries. I've personally seen one from Japan, and reportedly new US Passports also include them. See here:
Isn't this what the current passport system already provides? Passports already have unique numbers, and there are existing standards about reading the mag printed strip and RFID tags in there now.
The comment from slashdot.jp are fairly positive, but reports from family there are not as rosy. Last night (US time) we talked to my wife's aunt who lives in Saitama, just north of Tokyo proper. They have electricity but no tap water. She has to walk to a local distribution site and carry water home. She reports that the grocery stores are empty and the stores are not getting the supplies they would normally get. This includes staples like rice, milk, and yes, toilet paper. They are unable to buy gasoline. Her daughter is bicycling 45 minutes each way to work when she would normally drive.
We also have family in Koriyama, just 60km west of the nuclear plant. They want to leave but are unable to get gasoline.

There are three levels: public, hidden URL (auth token in the URL), and invite-only for specific accounts. Are you sure you weren't doing the 2nd one?

Of course. But subverting the system requires effort, which shows it is not an intended method of distribution.

As for water supply, how much water do you think a 70 year old woman can carry? Not very much.
Yes, it is not terrible, but it is not very good. She at least says it is better than during/after WWII, that this doesn't even compare.
