    The coriolis effect is not a real force. It's an illusionary effect that happens when you have a moving point of reference.

    Today I have more respect for safari. I'm currently developing site, which is too overloaded with JS (client insisted). Safari on windows is about 3 times faster when showing flash movie and simultaneously animating some div's via prototype. If chrome is even faster, well, I won't switch because there is no firebug-like plugin for it and no version for linux.

    It's very often simple laziness. In latest project which I'm working on I did one function: function q($str). It's even easier to use than prepared statements, it just filters everything not supposed to be there. But why other dev's don't always use it is beyound me.

  22. Re:Nice to see someone thinking along these lines. on How Social Software Can Improve Democracy · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Also, I have been thinking about social networking. It would be cool if we could get past the reputation systems that just have a reputation as a single number, and we could also measure reputation depending on how the reputation is connected among people; so it would be impossible for an isolated group of people (connected to single entity) gain high reputation by giving high reputation to each other.

    I think Meta Government is good answer. It's not too advanced yet, but worth mentioning.

  23. Re:Baby steps to the solution on A Look At the CoreFlood Botnet · · Score: 2, Informative

    Several problems with that:

    • SMS messages may be delayed

    Never happened to me, typically sms is on my cellphone 3 second after clicking "send" on page.

    • Cellphones are no more secure than PCs

    You can't install keyloggers on most cellphones.

    • The additional security from using two separate devices is lost when you do online banking on your cellphone.

    It's not about two devices. It's about using cellphone instead of separate or no token.

    • It's only cheaper if you do relatively few transactions. SMS messages are the most expensive form of data communication there is.

    Depend's where. Where I live sending sms costs me $0.05, receiving for free. Other carriers often have cheaper sms. For a bank it may be a lot cheaper for mass messaging.

    Or, like in my bank, they send me authorization code with sms, stating which operation is it and how much is it and account number to which money goes. It's much cheaper.
