There's some room for complaining about the "smartphone" classification. Most Symbian-based phones would not qualify as smartphones in the US. I'm on my third, and they're pretty smart, but not having touchscreens really puts them in a

Four? I see S40, Symbian, and MeeGo. Or are you counting the touch-based and non-touch-based Symbians separately? There'd be some justice in that.

Yes, hashed with a salt, as in sha1(password+salt). Of course, then they start hunting for your code/config file/whatever, to find the salt; but it's an extra barrier.

That's good; that'll mean fishing expeditions like this will warn the, er, fish.

I'm willing to believe this is entirely aboveboard. But the name rhymes too well with "fly by night".

It would also compel you to unload quickly. I've been in my house for 8.5 years, and I've still got boxes in the garage.

The fact that they were simply posited, with no explanation? There was no science there, just a mystical "this is the way it is".

It'd be much easier on Linux to tap the video stream from the Silverlight player. You could probably do it in userspace, with a modified X server, or even something like Xnest. The only way I can think of for Silverlight to get around it

Personally, I prefer to keep my audio quality merely decent (I have two Infiniti speakers, $100 each in 1996), so that I can still enjoy it when all I have handy is the $10 earbuds I keep in my belt pouch.

Actually, I'm not sure they learned anything from Betamax. Other companies avoid format wars; Sony launches them, always hoping for license fees. Minidisc, ATRAC, Memory Stick, Digital8, UMD: all formats launched into crowded markets, usu

It's worth noting that seL4 is a variant of L4, a very small microkernel. Proving the microkernel secure is interesting, and maybe useful; but a real OS has a lot of other pieces, which may introduce their own insecurities.

Shutting down all the cars, planes, and pacemakers in the US would mean lots of physical injury.

I think I have to disagree. The habit he's pointing out is so deeply ingrained that we need to pull it to the surface and examine it for a bit before we can talk about it coherently.

I think the answer is no, because it's on an endpoint. Net neutrality is about making sure that middlemen don't abuse their position.

At one company, I went through two rewrites, one bad, one good. Sort of. In January 1999, I was hired by appoint.net (which became eCal) to be their Chief Scientist; my main job was to rewrite their Web calendar in C++. (The original vers

There was no rewrite that killed the company. There was an attempted rewrite that went nowhere, but the company was killed by IE4 being good enough and free.

Oh, yeah. Tie it to email addresses; let any domain publish an SRV record pointing to its ID server. Then all you have to know is your email address, not your OpenID URL.
