Unless you happen to get type 2 diabetes (which can be favored genetically, but can also be caused by obesity), in which case you're pretty much fucked without professional help. You may talk about discipline or laziness all you like, but an unbuffered insulin level isn't simply dealt with by self-control.
I'm not talking from experience there, but I do have at least one acquaintance with this problem. He's a medical doctor who knows how his disease works, but he still has trouble managing his weight.
While education and discipline may help you avoid obesity, curing it is a lot harder than it seems.

The problem is mainly in health education and stuff like this being widely available. People just don't know - all they know is that it's easier to buy some frozen balls of cholesterol at Walmart than to cook some real food (if they ever learned to cook at all).
That is also perfect in theory. In practice, the browser will warn the user of a self-signed or mismatching certificate - and the user will ignore the warning.
Um, duh - the way to know if you're being phished is checking the URL and the site you're on.
With OpenID, you will never have to enter your password on any site but that of the OpenID provider. If the site you want to access asks you for your OpenID password, you're being scammed.
Or just confiscate and search the hard drive properly, since by the time they obtain a warrant, they must have enough of a probable cause to make it worth the time.
That's what I guessed, yeah. It's the same philosophy that causes right-click-disabling Javascript.

The danger of letting the "content-centric" people take over the internet is of course that web browsers will be mandatory closed-source clients that decode the heavy-duty encryption while a camera on your computer checks to make sure nobody else is looking at your screen for free.
The problem in Turkey is completely unrelated to religion - remember that Turkey tries its best to be secular. The problem is nationalism. Religion is a useful vehicle for nationalism, but not essential.
Westernization and a secular government have nothing to do with liberty:
- The Third Reich was fairly westernized, if you gloss over the "ancient Germanic legends" and runic alphabet fetish. - Communism is a declared foe of religion, and look at the USSR. - Saddam Hussein kept the lid on the religious extremists in Iraq, but he wasn't a democratic ruler by any means.

To cut to the point, yes, Turkey is extremely secular. But nationalism, to put it ironically, knows no borders. Turkey is as rabidly nationalist as they come. They have prison sentences for people who "insult Turkishness", if you want a picture.
Do you need on-access scanning? How do files get onto your computer anyway, other than emails or browser downloads (which as far as I can tell get covered already)?
Thirded. I run a weekly check as well, and the only files that need to be checked separately (and are) are Firefox downloads and email attachments.
The biggest attack vector would probably be one of my numerous automatically updating programs (and their addons) being spoofed into downloading malware.
That would be awesome. Of course, it would be useless as spam protection for any length of time, but it might redirect the enormous capital of the spam market from OCR to artificial intelligence.
All of the recent data catastrophes seem to be happening in Britain?
And in the face of this, the UK government is upping the surveillance, too. "Don't worry, nobody except us is ever going to see your private data. You can trust us."
That does increasingly seem to be her ambition, no?
She's cited at least one VP as her hero who succeeded his president... if I were McCain and won, I'd want to watch my back. And say *no* if she offers to take me moose hunting.:P
"Henry Paulson, the CEO of Goldman Sachs until 2006"
-> Who, let's not forget that either, precipitated the whole mess by pushing to allow the big banks to take on more debt, back in 2004. If any five people can be directly to blame for this crisis, he is one of them.
"You're saying *I* was the source of that anonymous rumor, just because I happened to make a million dollar deal while the stock price was down? Who, *me*?":P

What the FUCK does that have to do with anything, let alone the price of cheese?

Not for me. I learned my lesson after trying to use a goto...
Yeah - everybody wants the others to trust them, but nobody is willing to trust the other providers.

Two problems:
1.) They wouldn't tell us. They wouldn't even tell us this subtly.
2.) They would have no lack of work for their shiny new toy, and the algorithm exists already. See Shor's algorithm.

It's still a single point of failure.

Yes, yes it did. If they forced him to log into the game, it would kind of have to.
"The boy was kicked and beaten and threatened with a knife."
Gee... maybe some of that is illegal? Regardless of what they stole?
Doesn't take much to answer those. Some AI programs could probably do it already.
Security = Protecting from [b]dangers[/b] with a 100% success rate.
CAPTCHA = Protecting from [b]annoyance[/b] with a success rate high enough to save the moderator some work.
Not the same.

Spam will bring us the technological singularity.

So they thought they had a reason to search his car, then it turned out they didn't, then it turned out they did?
Yeah, as rights violations go, this sure compares with protesters being tasered and stuff.
Unless they planted the stuff there, but I'm not yet ready to believe that.
Exactly.
