Thanks for the tip on unpinning Edge - that wouldn't have occurred to me, but throwing the keyboard into the wall did occur to me every time I saw that shite.
He gave one of the most memorable and insightful talks I've ever heard, this at the 1994 Usenix Technical Conference. This was before the tragic consequences of "intentional communities" was evident to any but deep thinkers like JPB. We need people like him on our side. I hope this works out well for him.

Drivers licenses are on the verge of becoming much less state documents, as states are facing down expensive compliance with the Real ID Act. According to the terms of this 2005 law-- which was (coincidentally?) part of a big military spending bill-- states will have until 2008 to issue federally-approved licenses and ID cards, and such ID will be required to do all sorts of things: to fly, to open a bank account, and so forth. Now, this might not constitute an official Federal ID Card, but it sure is a de facto federal ID card. States are miffed because compliance will cost many many millions of dollars of state money.

Not your father's drivers license.

Pluto Probe Launches

· Score: 1
Isn't that like saying that the people who find Russian roulette a poor idea should apologize because the hammer happened to find an empty chamber one particular time? If you think the risk associated with the launch of a plutonium-powered spacecraft is justified by the ends, fine. If you think that there is no risk, I counsel deeper reflection.
Actually, evidence is that Robert Novak *has* reveal ed his sources. Since it's grand jury testimony, we may never know for sure, but two other journalists in this case who publicly declined to do so are currently being pursued quite vigorously.
Back in 1997, we were interviewing my putative replacement, and one fine fellow sent us a Word resume and cover letter. In the cover letter, he shared with us the delightful sentiment that-- while he was interviewing several other places (1997, remember), we were his current top choice.
A colleague on the review team who didn't use Windows turned to strings(1) to get the data from these documents, which yielded us the information that a *lot* of this guy's other prospects were also his current top choice. Maybe it was true every time he wrote it, but... I hate to think... could he have been trying to *manipulate* us?
I applaud your willingness to stand by your principles here, but I can't grasp how abiding by a law implies agreement that it's legitimate. If somebody comes into my crumpet shop and points a gun at my head and a finger at the till, she will certainly leave with all my cash- did my self-preserving actions in such a case imply that I thought she had a legitimate right to my cashbox? Of course not. The gu'ment has a gun at my head, too- the Big House. I don't want to go there and if staying on the outside means walking around with my cryptographic tail between my legs, so be it. Having said that, please let me know your new address if you follow your principles into incarceration, and I'd be happy to send you a box of crumpets... just don't ask me to bake a file into them. That could get me busted!
Sure, for a plate of tasty profiteroles, I'd be cranking out the copper meself. Doesn't end with "t"? What kind of cretin finishes their dessert with coffee?
Let's see... the open source movement's biggest gun nut visits the largest software company on the longest day of the last year of the millenium. I point this out in the lamest post in the thread, that's also the most-recently posted? Scarey.
Slashdot Mirror
I was giving a presentation without realizing that one of my tabs was open on Slashdot. Coworkers lost respect for me that day.
Amazon does not own the Washington Post. Jeff Bezos != Amazon.

We need a free desktop OS. Linux is the only contender.

One suspects that this will go down with "Heckuva job, Brownie" as one of the stoopidest and quickly-regreted public comments of all time.

Is the ADA itself foolish, or just when it's applied to commerce sites?
Nixon resigned not because of the wiretapping, but for obstruction of justice.
Indeed. But if you read the article, you would learn that it wasn't the beaners that fucked this one up-- it was the founder of RIM, a technical guy.

In my ssl error log:

A little bit before that, in my http log:

This is consistent with the alert: first an HTTP request to get the server signature, then an HTTPS attempt to exploit.
