If prompt is the only security offered, PGP is an enormous overkill. Just use an address book, and configure email client to prompt when sending to out of address book recipients.

Q : CronoCloud is not in address book. Post anyway?
 
Ans : YES slashdot, post it. Nothing sensitive in this post and it is publicly visible anyway.

Advantages :
1. Customer doesn't have to do anything.
2. Financial institution IT can handle this - most likely by MS ActiveDirectory group policy or something like that.

If confirmation prompt is not enough security, the sensitive information will be encrypted to the wrong customer's public key and send to that same wrong customer.

Not sure why you included apple in it - one apple doesn't contain even 20% of minimum requirement of ANY vitamin or mineral that is in human top-30 nutrients, and not even 10% of anything other than vitamin C.

The only reason your above statement isn't false is that it isn't falsifiable. That is because "salad" doesn't mean anything in particular, and means everything in general.

If you knew what vitamins are in what food, you wouldn't have included apple.

Your certainty and personal trust have less than zero importance in a supposedly logical discussion. Did you mean it to be a blind faith based discussion from the start?

With internet, the problem of authentic information has increased, not decreased.

Then others provide inexpert opinion under the same brand , spoiling the brand.

So brand A maintains good quality gasoline. Brand B simply sells under brand A - because there is no one to enforce the intellectual property - trademark of brand A. So how is brand A supposed to convince its buyers that this gasoline is of the quality that brand A is supposed to be known for?

Tactile learning helps, I try whenever i get stuck - http://homeworktips.about.com/...

No I'm not saying that at all. What gives you the impression?

Yes, but to solve them it is more fruitful to learn programming rather than "mathematics" as is likely to be taught in schools. Which is what I was saying.

E.g. Olympic archery events can be analyzed by mathematics - one can say each shot IS a mathematical equation. But one practices archery rather than learn mathematics to do well in such events. Their being mathematical equations is a useless but interesting trivia.

Virus has been created artificially, over a decade ago. Arguments why virus is not "life" are all "artificial".

I would not have thought intelligence is information how to process information.

Programming is becoming the new mathematics. Increasingly, scientific models are in computer programs rather than mathematical equations. Even the ones that are in mathematical equations, solving them is less practical than modeling those questions themselves in computer programs.

You're having to resort to plain lies - what does that suggest?

I never said you were right about run levels. Actually you didn't mention run levels at all, at least in the post I replied to are any that I remember.

Run levels strictly were a concept in sys V init. Most distributions don't even use that init any more, so 2 out of 3 distributions using run level 2 is laughable. Clearly you have no clue what you're talking about.

So where resume from hibernate is set to appear with a locked screen, closing the lid means hibernate + lock screen. Closing the lid, to be not "defeated by if it's function is complex / unreliable from an end user point of view"[sic] needs to make sure that hibernate + lock screen "reigns supreme" once lid is closed. But it doesn't. So MS windows isn't any better from your own perspective.

Same is the case where closing the lid means suspend+lock. Or someone going away from the system after Start -> shutdown, or Start -> shutdown -> restart assuming autologin is not enabled. A short lived bug which you lived with for a long time doesn't make it the expected behaviour rather than a bug.

And you are wrong about ctrl-alt-backspace not logging out the user from X. In run level 3 + startx, it doesn't log out from the text terminal which started startx, but that is a well known security reason to run in run level 5, where user X session is always logged out unless auto-login is enabled.

Ever since run-levels stopped being that important, ctrl-alt-backspace has been by default disabled by most distributions. Still *DM login has this security advantage over text login + startx as is well known.

Typical Chromebooks aren't powerful enough to run VMs nicely. The limitation is quite hard in the RAM department, one may not want to spend money in upgrading it when performance will be bad even after RAM upgrade - why not run proper Linux distribution on bare metal and save the expense and performance hit?

The malfunctioning of the noise making device may not be illegal (or less illegal) than not having the noise making device. So nobody ever services noise making devices, car manufacturers attach progressively worse noise making devices which are more and more prone to failure.

Eventually people get used to silent fast moving large hard solid objects moving about the streets.
