Without authentication, how do you know it's *me* doing the DH negotiation on the other end? That's the root of trust problem that certificates (and webs of trust) try to solve (and don't do a very good job of).
If I steal your boat then you have no boat.
If I "steal" your information then we both have the information.
Copying is not theft:

Typically you just verify that the sourcecode you build from matches the published source through the use of checksums and/or gpg signatures...
And how do you know that *your compiler* can be trusted? http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ke... (Reflections on Trusting Trust). Any way you slice it, this is a *hard* problem.
Man am I bummed-out. I just looked at the area maps on gigabitseattle.com. The west boundary stops just before my neighborhood (Queen Anne). The "register your interest" form lists practically every neighborhood *but* Queen Anne. It's like they drew a circle around us and said everyone but them!
Due to the distribution of Disney theme parks around the globe, there's always at least one park open somewhere. So it is constantly being played 24/7/365. I believe it holds the world record for the song with the most number of "performances".

It's easy to come up with BAD examples, that's the default for movies. What's your vote for the BEST portrayal?
The computer stuff wasn't particularly great in this movie, but I thought this move captured the technology development process very nicely: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085271/
I wholeheartedly agree. If we can't get rid of zero-tolerance or "THE RULES", perhaps the "bright guys" at the top could try to codify common sense. Something like:
Here are "THE RULES" 1-N...
Rule N+1 is: You must make a good faith attempt to understand the context of and apply common sense to each individual situation. If you do not, these rules hold you to be just as accountable (or more at fault?) as if you had completely disregarded them.
Then perhaps they could write in to the official HR description of all administrative jobs: #1 required job qualification: Common Sense.
Government has a lot of power over you. Whereas you as an individual have very little power over the government. To balance things out, large/powerful entities should be transparent. Smaller entities and individuals get to have secrets (privacy).
it's also not fairly easy to use, however it's probably the same interface you've used since you were a kid. That makes it familiar, not easy.
I would argue that familiar is very important. I don't want to re-learn something a new way if the current way is working for me. Even if your new way is marginally better. It's not because "I don't like to learn new things". I just don't happen to want to spend my time learning the same new things you care about.
Incidentally, I have the same basic gripe with Vista and Server 2008. Many things were changed arbitrarily or for only minor benefit.
I completely agree that one way or another, the car needs to be stopped.
But it is not *crazy* to be thinking about the car behind you either. Newer cars with high-tech braking systems have much better braking ability then the average 10-year-old Honda on the road. On a few occasions, I've had to make a quick stop and then, after realizing I was definitely *not* going to hit the car in front of me, let up a bit to try and give the guy behind me as much room as possible.
Whether he's tailgating me or not, his fault or not, he's a dumbass, whatever... all things being equal, I'd rather not get rear-ended.
So I think it would be cool if the software for any sort of automatic braking system take that into account and stop you "just enough" to not hit the guy in front of you.
No sarcasm here, seriously: I would *love* to know what your secret is. Because this is the showstopper for me and anyone who needs to be able to terminal in to their machines from remote. Wake-on-LAN has ranged from flakey to flat out broken every time I've tried it. Even if it did work, the reality of having to keep track of the MAC address of every PC you might need remote access to, is too burdensome. If there is a way to make a machine wake up simply by virtue of it receiving TCP packets addressed to it, that would be the holy grail.
Maybe not individually, but if you could turn even a tiny fraction of the typical Slashdot effect into a donation effect then as a community we could make a very big difference. I just gave 5GBP, which PayPal calculated as just over $8 US. Any other nerds willing to help out?
Do you really think that Jules Verne would have made it around the world in 80 days with out a little bump now and then? Jules Verne is the author of the story. Phileas Fogg and Passepartout were the travelers in the story.
You could be implying that Verne needed to be coked-up to write the story or Fogg needed to be coked-up to make the trip. But it would be incorrect to imply that Verne needed to be coked-up to make the trip...
The official report mentions this - but glosses over its importance.
Sounds to me like you have a problem with the official report, not Wikipedia.
Wikipedia places a high level of importance on citations. Were you able to come up with credible citations to backup your alternate conclusions? If not, you should start a "NASA MCO Conspiracy" page on MySpace instead editing the Wikipedia topic.

That's all circumstantial, until or unless he walks into the diner with a bomb.
