Please. I can top that. I took a shit this morning, and during this accomplishment, not one white person was there to help. And this proves that Google is better off not hiring any white people. BOOYA!

I would expect her to have gotten a Commodore 128 in 1987. Did she say she got a 64? I didn't hear it in the video.

One reason lectures are so popular is that they are far, far easier for the instructor.

Apparently, students are easy to fool, because my experience shows that it's easier to fill time with class discussion and "interactive lessons" than a full hour of lecture. Students find multiple choice lecture questions fun, and generally prefer it to lecture, but you have to cover a certain amount of content regardless, and you have a moral responsibility to train students not to have the attention span of a flea. When they go out into the real world expecting to be spoon-fed everything, they will fail.

How does systems affect me during the minute it takes my computer to boot while I'm making coffee?

Is there a tmux equivalent to "screen -DR" ? If so, I might try it out.

Not anymore since they recently found pictures to prove it!

There is no such thing as a "real" RNG.

I wonder if there is anything good to read over at soylentnews.org?

Apple was trying to come up with a way to prevent butt-dialing and other unwanted device actions... Microsoft's video doesn't really show a slider. It shows touch buttons that look visually like sliders. But you can trip them just by touching in the active area for the desired state. This is shown in the video where the demonstrator runs their finger down a column of switches and they all switch. Apple requires an explicit "click and drag" operation to unlock.

Could you watch the video at 2:52 and explain how this is different from what you describe? Here is a quote from the video at 3:04:

Clearly, Apple won't be hiring you to represent them :)

This is very cool. Seriously, if only she had discovered this 20 years later, she would be a millionaire!

I still can't figure out the state of those on/off toggles in the menu.

...otherwise it is guaranteed that thousands will die. I like this line of reasoning.

This is not how it works. I've called 911 on a cell recently, and on a land line around 10 years ago.
When I called on the land line, the operator asked, "Are you MY NAME?", which means she had my information INSTANTLY.
When I called on a "smart" phone, I had to tell the operator where I was, so she could forward me to the right jurisdiction, and there was a little hold time.
To me, this is a big difference, because the time I called 911 on the land line, there were two men trying to break my door down, and being put on hold would not have improved my confidence.

This sounds more like a starship upgrade than a car upgrade.

A correction:

6) Private keys can (and should be) protected with passwords, making them in effect a form of two-factor authentication (you HAVE the key, you KNOW its password). Passwords are a single factor.

The authentication tokens in "two-factor" authentication should be independent, and both should be required for access. Encrypting a key does not increase the number of tokens required for authentication.
