   Thanks for the heads up, I'll give it a look.

   The bit about the response of criminal organizations is very interesting. I've heard odd rumors about Japanese career criminals, such as commonly going into the business fully expecting to go to jail. Can any one suggest books / docs on t

   This is the only thing that makes sense, I've turned down a couple contracts now for people wanting me to develop and maintain code bases on three different platforms for the same app. Until someone figures out a way around the cross platf

   I've only been in that datacenter once and I was signed in by someone with authority to help them with something. Like others have said here, it's more to help with "I didn't know I wasn't supposed to touch it" type cases. The RSA cabinet

   I've never set one up. There's an RSA encryption cabinet in our datacenter at work, it has red rope around it like a nightclub line and a sign that says no non RSA certified personnel. I imagine anyone who knows what it might be can't con

   "could potentially be used to reduce the effectiveness of a current two-factor authentication implementation" What could this be? Initialization settings?

   Without trying to be one of the snarky commenters, I would humbly suggest that the submitted link is one solution.

   I'm reminded of the mitnick/tsutomu tales. I think Anon may be in for some hurt with a guy like Hoglund pissed at them. He's been on the front lines of security research for at least a decade.

   I agree about the guessing game, but games are fun! I spent a good long while reading this site that speculates on all sorts of cool future achievements. http://www.futuretimeline.net/

    I can't decide if this article is pure paranoia, depressing as hell, or inspiring.

    Really enjoy Jon Jabat-Zinn's material. He's got a couple videos on google tech talks and his guided CD's are very good. I came to meditation knowing nothing at all and his clear and simple explanations helped immensely.

    I did the first time I read it, and it still seems a thin explanation for those remarks. The bulk of the article is a serious personal reflection on the topic and the only indication that he's joking is the over the top content of his hype

    None at all. I would prefer not be vague and indirect, but if he asks (and he does now and then since I gave a print interview regarding the G20 activities around our building) I can honestly say I did not name the company.

    The bossman really doesn't like it when I specify, but googling largest bank in Canada will confirm / deny your guess. As I understand it the new CIO got the job based on this plan to keep IT budget down. For this one friend who will be l

    I work for Canada's largest bank and they're turfing contractors at a pretty rapid rate. Shoveling lots of work offshore. Edit: FTE's seem safe for the moment.

    I've wondered lately why things like Power and Friendfeed weren't doing this already. They've had more datapoints than Triangulate are using for some time now.

    The "my news" front page has made it vastly more useful for finding things I'm interested in. Though until it's out of beta and friends can use it fully it still feels a bit like the "like" button in google reader.

    I'm just getting my feet wet with jQuery and found Paul Irish's "10 Things I Learned From the jQuery Source" is hilarious and very informative.

    He seems to be notable enough to be considered a "reliable source" for several other articles ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search?search=Steve+Yeg...

    Another Canadian dropout here. I did take the most advanced courses offered and couldn't stand it. No one could explain why I was learning any of the course material. In my mind I may as well have been learning sanskrit. Also, I had no i

    I hear where you're coming from, in my teens I competed in FPS leagues and travelled to meatspace tourneys and had a riot doing so. To continue enjoying the competition aspect I had to conciously cultivate a mentality of responsible gaming

    IMHO it's the lack of obvious manual control over the special sorting algorithm that causes readers to suck.

    Personally I find it damn near impossible to use QWERTY after going to DVORAK, even after several years. As for someone else using my machine, well my friends refer to my work machine as having "the klingon keyboard". Handy for keeping pe

    As I understand it using this trick means the TSA cannot open your luggage without your presence, so keep an ear open for your name on the PA.

    I've given considerable thought lately to giving something like this a try. Anyone tried soemthing like this and lived without turning into a hippy?

    I completely agree with the bit about losing your QWERTY skills. I wasn't expecting it at all when I switched and was pretty shocked when I discovered I had to hunt and peck on most other peoples machines. That being said the opposite is a
