I don't think you need to do (1) and (2). I posted earlier about this. RSA seems to have had a master list of seeds for ALL their customers' devices. They have a "control panel" of…

wrt "most people should rent" If the alternative to renting is to buy a 5-bedroom, 4000-sqft McMansion, I totally agree. If instead they buy a condo/house whose monthly payment is …

Was MLK a professional race "victim"?

Ok, I waded through your link. If you're claiming to substantiate your claims, you should substantiate your claims. [2] has Howe narrating what happened in the riots, not him claim…

Hopefully I'll get some responses to this question. What is happening to the money (cash) that investors are getting after selling off? Are sovereign bonds of other countries up? I…

Where did you get the info that it was 27% of people aged 25 (i.e., excluding people older)? I would be very interested to know more. It bolded right in the original article that i…

My favourite idiocy is people cutting close in front of big rigs (they think they're being very smart but they're occupying the trucks' stopping distance).

From your comment, it doesn't seem like you were ever almost killed by a truck driver. Were you? Then why so afraid? I second the previous poster that in my experience big-rig driv…

Small div? 1. Google owns Doubleclick (display advertising != small div). 2. Google owns Adsense (!= small div) 3. Even their SERPs don't have "small divs" anymore. A lot of the ar…

WHOA! And I lose respect for another Internet legend. :(

Interesting. I can't see the upvotes but your comment didn't go gray on my downvote. I guess the YC/Airbnb/"laws don't apply on the Internet" fanboys are out in force just like I e…

Nice spin: he's been charged for "excessive downloading". Way to ignore the physical break-in to install a computer directly on a network switch. I, for one, hope that he gets a cr…

Hmm, so Gmail showing you ads based on the email you're currently reading is unlawful? I think you have a weird (i.e., excessively narrow) definition of "target advertising to invi…

I liked fun things like this. Within reason. And this is within reason.

No, imho it's not bias. For wild fish, the US enforces the quantity of fish that can be taken much more effectively, than, say China/Japan. Second, the regulations/practices on the…

Give your taste buds a break. You would rather buy fruit shipped halfway across the world (i.e., fruit designed for survive storage rather than taste good) rather than visit the lo…

Holy crap: "routinely have Netflix playing in the background as they sit at home during the day". How wasteful! No wonder ISPs want metered usage etc.

Are you sure there's no "permananent storage"? Who has verified that? Second thing: there have been numerous instances of TSA workers leering at the scanner screens as people (esp …

You're acting wealthy. I hope you are. :)

I think you're missing the conflict between allowing reasonable search and the right against self-incrimination when the thing being searched is an encrypted laptop. At least agree…

I'm highly unconvinced by your statement that #1 is taking people for a ride. If anything the pushover (#2) is the one doing so: he gets to be people's friend thereby gaining a cer…
