My laptop is set up so that it stores passwords to an encrypted keychain, which must be decrypted at login (with the login password) or after the computer sleeps / is closed. If someone steals my computer, assuming they close it first, they no longer have access to my passwords. (I can also set it up so that password is required at screensaver, but I am not that worried).
So in short, no, my browser does not store passwords that gives everyone access to my accounts. If yours does, you should maybe re-think how you have set things up.
Unless there are others which I am not aware of, the cookie experiment was flawed, as they didn't verify the passwords, nor get the account / website which it was for. If someone asked me something similar, I would respond 'password123' or something, which happens to not be the password for any of my accounts. I gave them something and would have got a cookie for my efforts, but they would have nothing.
That being said, I do agree with the overall point you are trying to make:-)

If you can get #1 for a reasonable amount of money, I'd say that would be great. How much traffic these days is from single occupant commuter traffic? Here at least it is too cold for motorbikes 8 months out of the year; if the 1 seater vehicle is enclosed and heated, it would be a great solution.
Probably just a typo, but to my knowledge no phones support Java EE; you probably meant Java ME. I can't comment on the rest of your post, as I have no idea if it is possible or even feasible to compile Javascript into Java bytecode...
It would be an absolute pain in the ass but as it uses the SATA standard there should be a way of connecting up the pins and getting the data off somehow.
True, but that would involve desoldering it first. BGA packages have the pins on the bottom, which means you can't just use probes on the side of the chip to get access to them. If it was in a socket, of course, it would be trivial, but the cost of a socket compared with the 1% of customers who will actually use it, chances are most manufacturers will just not bother.
The Mississippi River pours as much water into the Gulf of Mexico in -38 seconds- as the BP oil leak has done in two months.
Wake me up when the Mississippi river is pouring that much oil into the Gulf of Mexico.
That's like saying "you have 10 grams of arsenic in your body? That's nothing - you have 1000 times more water already there!"
OK sometimes 'Y' is a vowel... so I guess it would be 5 1/2 characters. Regardless, the point still stands that there is not a one-to-one mapping between characters and phonemes.
Characters do not necessarily map one-to-one to phonemes. For instance there are 12 vowels in English, but these are represented with only 5 characters.
On the other hand, PRK has fewer complications and gives you much more leeway for future surgery.
At least, that's what the folks at the LASIK centre told me (looking to get it done later this year - still haven't decided on PRK vs LASIK).
That is why I chose PRK over LASIK. In LASIK the cornea never completely heals, and (according to some studies) only ever regains a small percentage of the strength of an unaltered cornea. For most people this is not an issue, but for me (due to martial arts and an otherwise active lifestyle) I felt that PRK was the better choice. The recovery time is definitely longer, though; it has been over a month and I still am not quite at my BCVA (best corrected visual acuity) of 20/15; I am currently at 20/20+1 in my right eye and 20/25-1 in my left. However, this is still improving slowly; apparently it takes about 6 months for the eyes to completely heal and provide stable vision again.
That being said, I am still quite happy with my choice; while my visual acuity has not yet reached my previous acuity with glasses, I am still seeing better than I ever had before without glasses, and can do things outside without worrying about rain and stuff getting on my glasses. For me, it was worth it, and PRK was the correct decision, but be sure to talk with your surgeon and eye doctor at length about the options, and which is best for you.
Forgot to add: I think LASIK is also quite a bit cheaper, since it's much more common - most people are budget driven.
From what I have seen in my area at least, PRK is actually cheaper -- the reason being that there is no need for a microkeratome or Intralase laser to create the flap. Licensing for the Intralase is a couple hundred per patient, and the cost is passed on to you. My PRK surgery was $1600 / eye, whereas LASIK would have been $1800. (Granted, this is in Canada, from a highly respected and reputable surgeon; in the USA YMMV).
I think the majority of such surgeries are LASIK, which reshapes the lens by removing tissue, rather than the cornea.
I believe PRK is similar to LASIK except it reshapes the cornea by removing tissue. I'm not sure why LASIK is so much more popular than PRK.
Speaking as someone who just went through PRK surgery, I can assure you that you are incorrect. Both LASIK and PRK remove tissue from the cornea; the difference is that in PRK the tissue is removed at the surface, while with LASIK there is a flap on the cornea created and lifted, and tissue is removed underneath the flap.
The reason LASIK is more popular is that it has a faster recovery time and a less painful recovery. Mine was done over a month ago and I am still not quite at full vision (although I had functional vision within about a week). LASIK patients tend to have functional vision within a couple of days, and (if you can believe the literature) have full recovery within a couple of weeks.
True, although of course it depends on the speed limit itself, as well as the cop's disposition. I find that +10% of posted limit tends to do me well.
What really sickens me, though, is cops who themselves don't follow the laws. I can't count how many times I have had cops pass me (going much faster), even in residential areas. A couple days ago I had a cop speed off the off-ramp, cross two lanes without signalling, and speed off -- all without his lights on. I can guarantee that if I tried a stunt like that I would have been pulled over immediately. If a cop is going to drive recklessly like that they need to put their lights on (and putting your lights on to do an illegal turn into Tim Horton's doesn't count, either -- and yes, I have seen that before too).
Other than the fact that it cannot make another entire printer, then sure. It will make parts, but the wires and electrical stuff needs to be sourced elsewhere.
Don't get me wrong, its still a very cool project, but I can't make 1000 of them from a single one (yet).
I am opposed to software patents, but this is a great idea -- by patenting it, (hopefully) nobody else who may have a temporary lapse of judgement will actually do this... and since I don't currently use any MS products, hopefully I will avoid having to see it myself!:-)
...do what I do: Vote for someone you'd like to win, even though they have no real chance. If we all bothered to do so, they would have a chance.
Agreed. I have voted Green Party (almost) every election since I was able to vote (the sole exception was when the local Green Party candidate was a stoner who's only platform was to legalize marijuana). As an interesting side note, even these apparently thrown away votes do something, as federal funding for parties for future elections is based on number of votes from the last one - your vote gives your party of choice more money next time around, even if they get nobody into office.

Who is viola? And why don't you just plug the card in yourself, instead of asking her to do it for you...
Snazzy!

What's your point? Linux != Unix.
Of course not -- how could they perform your search if the query was encrypted from themselves?
