Re: Stored hashes - they can be stored encrypted while the company can still retain the ability to decrypt them. This is how you store credit card numbers. They may have generated a new PIN and it just happened to be his old one? Could be

I've had this discussion with many people. I enjoyed the movie for it's technical merits, not the plot. I saw both versions. I don't get hte "3d headache" - but I definitely enjoyed the 2d version more. THere was more detail to focus on, a

Depends what kind of options you are selling - but I'd actually say explicitly leave out writing calls from the plan - that's not somewhere you want to go given the unlimited risk you face.

Cool if true - the one thing you want to make sure of when using the IB interface is that you don't accidentally end up on margin - which is easy fairly easy to do by accident. (It's not that they try to get you there - it's just a trading

I call shenanigans on that.... There are plenty of people who should not be in the stock market, and are basically just gambling. But in the casino table games, in general, the odds are always against you. There IS no winning strategy. In

I don't know about disgracing - they are just mentalities possibly not well suited to entrepreneurship. The one about "if I had the money" really gets me - I used to say that, but now I have easy access to the money, but no idea what to d

Just a side note about those weird screws. When dealing with consumer wifi gear, the FCC required that we use non-standard antenna connectors, for instance - to prevent people from just putting whatever they wanted on there. This wasn't spe

The price of resources drops over the years. You could save for 3 years and buy a macbook.... or you could work in the cloud and use whatever cheap-ass machine you want to access it, with much less worry about backup. THis isn't really a ho

Security is a big one here - doing a <Script src=> include from another domain might be really convenient for getting around cross-domain limits - but if that remote server has been compromised, or if it's run by dodgy individuals,

HEre's what I don't get. We see map/reduce posts all the time, like it's some fantastic new technology. Reading up - it seems to me that map & reduce are standard functional programming patterns (or whatever you call them) that just hap

Tried following the instructions - ended up with some "command not found" stuff when trying to connect with the NX BEta client for OSX (the older client requires rosetta, which most modern OSX machines don't have) The instructions could use

That's the real scam - charging for incoming. Charge for outgoing. Leave it at that - otherwise it's a mess. Why should i have to pay for a message I can't reject? That's silly. The CRTC should be hit up on that one.

No - the CEO has a legal obligation clearly spelled out by the SEC and other laws, I'm sure. Given that the market is made up of humans, and that nobody can predict with certainty the public reaction to every move a company or person make
