If only electro-magnets could be set to "attract" and "repel" ferrous metals. If we could do that, I bet we could harness the tech for cheap as hell space launches.

So i guess the moral of the story is salt your passwords and make sure you have a strong root password? We can add some more common sense in there like "keep your os up to date", "don't give your password out to people", and "that nigerian prince isn't going to pay up"? I can has security eckspurt?

That is nice, but I've had experiences with websites that won't allow the + sign as part of an email address. Unfortunately, emails are one of the hardest things to validate with regex, and most implementations get it wrong.

Isn't that what people do with their hotmail account anyway? Throw it away?

how ironic. That should say "am" but I am on my phone using swype.

/. How can I contact your advertising department to get a sponsored pidt like this one?

I take this as full disclosure, not editorializing.

Just some FUD to sell an app.

And slashdot bought it, hook, line, and sinker.

Ok, yeah, I was born in the 80s and didn't see the movie in the theaters, but I saw the movie originally at a young enough age to have a lot of that same sense of nostalgia. Make of that what you will. It's just full disclosure.

The plot did suck, but not because it had a script that felt like "it was written by people who had never used a computer". Clearly anyone who is familiar with the Tron universe knows that Legacy fit in fine. It sucked because it was cliche, it sucked because it was predictable, it sucked because Kevin Flynn was played by The Dude (though, too their credit, they tried to turn him in to a monk, it's too bad they didn't pull it off). On a personal note, it sucked because neither Imax nor 3D added anything to the film, but I got suckered in to the insane ticket prices anyway.

Even so, it was a fun ride, and I can't wait to own it. I just certainly won't be paying attention to it for the plot, though. I'll probably just be using it to show off my HDTV.

Flat taxes are inherently regressive. Go national sales tax or VAT, that way people are taxed on sonsumption, not earning, and frugality can be rewarded.

Corn Subsidies.

They are ridiculously wasteful and artificially prop up the price of ethanol when we should be producing them with grasses and weeds instead of corn stalks.

Or how about the TSA?

If progressives use this weapon aganst them, they can be forced to put their money where their mouth is.

Whomever coined the word "Hactivism" has a DDoS with their name on it, as far as I'm concerned. Hate, hate, hate, that word. It's neither hacking nor activism.
