   I keep flipping back and forth on the digital vs. analog future of media. Digital data can be cheaply propagated forever so long as the technology continuously exists, but won't be easily recoverable from the physical artifacts if the tech

    I have a key fob for my MMORPG character account. It seems ridiculous to me that my video game has greater security than my email or even my bank. It was a $10 one-time fee to have the fob shipped to me.

    I am reminded of the Feynman Algorithm: Write down the problem. Think real hard. Write down the solution. The Feynman algorithm was facetiously suggested by Murray Gell-Mann, a colleague of Feynman, in a New York Times interview. The fi

    I like the name. It puts a positive spin on what can be a very negative time in life. It's also memorable. I say keep it.

    It's certainly more structured than a free-form spreadsheet. The mere fact that it's a special purpose tool makes a difference too.

    I dunno, I use green on black myself. Guess I just got used to the old IBM terminals. (Yes, hardware terminals.) Although, I don't use a Times font.

    Wow, as much crap as my slashbot self has given Ballmer over the years, this interview really shows him having his act together.

    Yes, that is the case. I think it's dumb and wrongheaded, but it is what it is.

    COBRA is a ticking time bomb. But it does have the nice property that it keeps your "continuous coverage" which is very important in the face of any pre-existing conditions. That can be a very big deal.
