Iirc, even facebook nowadays (at least in India) requires you to complete SMS verification during account creation.

At the absolute best, I'd say using an app like Pocket (on Android) on a non-network connected device is probably the safest setup. Granted you'd have to type the passwords in manually, but nothing beats air-gap security, and you'd need to

I do agree with you on the key analogy but there's a security breach there as well. Most of the keys are generally found on the same keyring. So, in effect it's identical to using a single password.

Is there any technical barrier that prevents the swiping machine from accepting another card? If so, you could literally show them that "Look, it isn't working"

Having OAuth or Two factor in Google Talk/Chrome or any application based login system shouldn't be THAT hard. Along with your password, there should be another text field stating "OTP" or some other friendly name.

"Sir, your card is being rejected. Do you have a VISA card that I can try? It seems for the past few days, those are the only ones that seem to work for anyone around here." This would be a bit of scumbaggery but pure marketing genius I say

I'm kind of wary of the ASP. It feels very backdoorish. And by the very nature of ASP, it is meant to be saved/stored on the computer system.

I've read that over a dozen times by now and I'm still fascinated by it.

And kids. You'd be surprised to know what kids are capable of only if you talk to them in a matured way. Throw them in the deep end intellectually and be very amazed at how much they can think.

You know, as much as I laughed at your comment I think you have a point here. The long times it takes for them to even answer a mail (if at all) would probably give a heads-up to anything fishy going on in your account. Secondly, unless you

Hmm. I can't really comment on that since I've never used SVN. I was kind of lucky to jump directly into DVCS. The reason why I'm comfortable with Hg is because at the initial/first step the only commands I was told to remember (by hginit.c

Ah, so it's by Joel. I tried Git but failed miserably with it. It could probably be attributed to the lack of quality tutorials at that time. I then thought, "Fuck it, let's try Mercurial" and stumbled upon hginit. That is one awesomely wri

I had no idea about a Gmail backup solution. I just had a network of duplicate accounts which get copies of mails and password resets if my primary ever got hacked. Thanks. Link for the lazy - http://gmvault.org/

I believe that Year of the Linux desktop will truly gain momentum when Microsoft Office or something as powerful as that, is released on Linux. Does the average user need the full power of Excel or Access? No. But the familiarity with the b

Pardon me for not living in the US, and not knowing its culture/social situation completely. That book has given me quite a few historical information where it seems like a chance event turns fortunes of people.

A large part of our FPS experience revolves around manipulating the player camera. Since the Rift would essentially put the function of the mouse on our heads, we could free the right hand with just a trigger or two triggers (one for alt-fi

Well I'm not sure about you, but my hotmail id works with this. Unless, you don't have a hotmail id in the first place... in which case, ignore this comment.

I'm not sure about which OCR you're talking about but I've tried ABBYY and because of the fractions ie top and bottom halves the thing craps out. Granted, if you get a single line problem it could easily be solved. Definitely there's the pr

I don't know why you've been down voted but this is exactly what I read yesterday in Dan Ariely's Predictably Irrational. A $2 aspirin worked better than a 50 cent one. That is to say, people who paid more for the exact same medicine were l

It's fine today, but what about when the management changes? And I'm sure, Google's management change could easily occur during our lifetime. Heck, look at Apple and Microsoft. Steve Jobs -> Tim Cook and Bill Gates -> Steve Ballmer.

I'm not a lawyer, but I've got a LLC equivalent and you're almost spot on. If I own 25 of a company's shares, and let's say the shares are worth $1000 each then it means they can only claim a maximum of $25000 from me. Which is actually my

I think TV series is a bit too much. I mean, even I liked Firefly but "emotionally investing"? Come on. On a different note, I do have a smartphone. But I hesitate as hell to buy apps on my Android (no paid app here) for the very fear that

Oh sorry I should clarify myself. But yes, you are correct. Update is basically like bug fixes, or resolving incompatibilities and stuff like that. [For eg. Windows XP -> SP1 -> SP2 -> SP3] Upgrade would mean adding new features
