More pseudoscience. They say that they're not sure whether this means that porn shrinks your brain, or if the shrunken brain causes porn viewing. But, this leaves out the very real possibility that this correlation means nothing whatsoever. The site below collects correlations that look pretty convincing in the graphs, but quite obviously are unlikely to be cases of causation in either direction:
It's not to hide income info. It's to keep the tax forms that the Canadian government uses that have enough info for ID theft secure from prying eyes.
The only things in my TrueCrypt volume are password lists, tax info, etc.
And those are encrypted separately before being put in the Truecrypt volume.
That way if my machine were to be hijacked while I have the volume mounted, I wouldn't lose all the data to nefarious purposes.
And if the device is stolen, there's two layers of security to get through. (Which around here would just be the thieves deleting everything and selling it for Oxy)
Linus gave an intro speech for the course. That doesn't mean he's going to be teaching it.
The course staffer is Jerry Cooperstein.
A strange example, considering we now have people who aren't exceptional singers but have charisma and looks and are auto-tuned to make them marketable.
I have 400+ unique passwords. I don't think I'll be changing those for password day.
I suppose putting my trust in a password manager could also be considered a risk, but I use a passphrase long enough that even someone with an extensive dictionary attack would take years to get through it.
It could be cleverly disguised as a bit of MD5 but is actually something encrypted with a 33 character one time pad.
It's strange having a disease that some doctors don't accept.
I've had doctors look at my chart or ask me for background and give great sympathy for having fibromyalgia, and mention other patients they have whose symptoms are even worse. Then there are other doctors who have sneered at it, and basically accused the other doctors of being incompetent for even believing in such a thing.
Don't trust the shover robot.
Yup. It was.
Actually, scratch that. This is a better link to the source:
Good tools are expensive.
Someone that makes an income selling firewood can really boost their output with one of these.
The Geek.com article seems so close to the Boing Boing article I read last week I'd be surprised if he didn't just shift a couple of words around.
I had a watch with a full scientific calculator on it when I was a kid. My fingers were small enough to press the buttons, but an adult likely would have needed a pencil lead to push the buttons.
It died when we were having squirtgun fights and I dunked my arm in a bucket and forgot I was wearing the watch
I loved that watch.
