It seems a potentially effective approach to phishing scams would be to set up a huge network of honeypots and do automatic responses to the phishing servers with bogus information. At that point, you could try to swamp the real account inf

The real question isn't if 8 million times is too many, but if one time with out the approval of a judge is too many. If it is important for law enforcement to have the information, they should get the OK of a judge, to prevent abuse.

Higher health insurance premiums are probably to blame for a good part of the desire firms have to hire younger people. A simple improvement to skyrocketing health care costs would be to eliminate employer provided plans and let everyone bu

I would go further and not only teaching probability and statistics, but also teach basic calculus with simple polynomials, programming, Monti Carlo simulations, sines and cosines, computer simulations, all starting around age 13. Advance a

To me, the biggest point made in the Atlantic article was that the flu vaccines have not been double blind tested, which seems incredible. However, this critique doesn't seem to argue with that point, unless I'm misreading it.

For one thing, a desert airport is harder to sell once you outgrow it. "Used airport, good condition, excellent for coastal city, $15B, free shipping."

Regarding wasting storage on crud, I would be very surprised if the gmail storage system does not duplicate large attachments that have been forwarded around. It would not be difficult to store one copy of every attachment or identical news

The difference between the math is presently taught and the way it could ultimately be taught is immense. Given the problems math and reasoning illiteracy cause I think this is a much more important issue than most people assume. The appro
