Comment Re:Rejecting assured it sooner (Score 2) 383

You'll see in a year or so.

Israeli prime ministers have been making this claim for decades. The year keeps passing and still it hasn't happened. US intelligence agencies keep reaffirming their conclusion that Iran has no nuclear weapons program, please provide us a clarification of how you know better than them.

Does anyone think that's because now they won't be building a nuke?

Yeah, all the US intelligence agencies and the Mossad think so. The 2003 (?) National Intelligence Estimate has been affirmed every year since then, Iran has no nuclear weapons program and no real intention to build any. By all means, tell us how you know better than them.

Whatever has to be done will be done

Whatever HAS to be done is already being done. Users are en masse accepting the level of risk as it exists today, so there is no reason to do anything more on the security side. We accept a certain amount of fraud and other crimes in the rest of the world, we will continue to accept this in the Internet world as well. Diminishing returns mean we will never pay the price to pursue eliminating the last 1% of online crime.

That's equivalent to 12 of Beijing's Tian'anmen Square, the largest public square in the world, or nearly two New York Central Parks.

How many football fields is that? (American football). I hope when the specs are released for this space station, the length is reported in Library of Congresses so i can understand it.

Very true, I just went through this with my bank. They just switched everyone over to username/password only, and I had to downgrade my password so I could use it on the phone. I did the same with my home wifi passphrase. I wonder how much of the recent 'failure of passwords' is due to the limitations of password entry on mobile devices.
