My laptop is set up so that it stores passwords to an encrypted keychain, which must be decrypted at login (with the login password) or after the computer sleeps / is closed. If someone steals my computer, assuming they close it first, they no longer have access to my passwords. (I can also set it up so that password is required at screensaver, but I am not that worried).

So in short, no, my browser does not store passwords that gives everyone access to my accounts. If yours does, you should maybe re-think how you have set things up.

Cheers

Get refunded!?!? Where do you live? Airlines don't refund tickets, period.

Unless there are others which I am not aware of, the cookie experiment was flawed, as they didn't verify the passwords, nor get the account / website which it was for. If someone asked me something similar, I would respond 'password123' or something, which happens to not be the password for any of my accounts. I gave them something and would have got a cookie for my efforts, but they would have nothing. That being said, I do agree with the overall point you are trying to make :-) Cheers

I didn't intentionally exclude it, but I have not read it yet, and will reserve judgement until such a time.

THERE IS NO MOVIE. IT IS ONLY A BOOK. Well, a trilogy of five books. (And a radio broadcast... and some other things... BUT NO MOVIE!)

If you can get #1 for a reasonable amount of money, I'd say that would be great. How much traffic these days is from single occupant commuter traffic? Here at least it is too cold for motorbikes 8 months out of the year; if the 1 seater vehicle is enclosed and heated, it would be a great solution.

Who is viola? And why don't you just plug the card in yourself, instead of asking her to do it for you...

Snazzy!

Lots of phone have Java EE

Probably just a typo, but to my knowledge no phones support Java EE; you probably meant Java ME. I can't comment on the rest of your post, as I have no idea if it is possible or even feasible to compile Javascript into Java bytecode...

It would be an absolute pain in the ass but as it uses the SATA standard there should be a way of connecting up the pins and getting the data off somehow.

True, but that would involve desoldering it first. BGA packages have the pins on the bottom, which means you can't just use probes on the side of the chip to get access to them. If it was in a socket, of course, it would be trivial, but the cost of a socket compared with the 1% of customers who will actually use it, chances are most manufacturers will just not bother.

What?!? Now copyright extends for 1400 years!?!? And I thought 70 was bad. This must be the results of Walt Disney's lobbying...

Absolutely not. I am fairly liberal person (don't care for excessive drug laws, overall I am of the opinion that you can do what you want as long as you don't hurt others), but saying that people can drive drunk as much as you want unless you are endangering others is way over the line. The fact is that you (or a cop, or a judge) cannot know whether you are endangering others until you have already done so. Say you are drunk, and swerving around a country road. You can argue that there is nobody there, so nobody gets hurt; what about the teenager walking home on the side of the road which you don't see until it is too late. What about the grandma driving around the corner which you don't notice until she is right there. As far as I am concerned, as soon as you are driving while intoxicated, you *already are* putting others lives in danger, whether you know it or not. It's really simple people -- we don't care what you do to yourself, but stay off the roads after you have done it! I am in full support of zero tolerance, get caught one time and you lose your license immediately. Don't like it? Too bad, there is no reason why you have to drunk and drive.

Or you can, you know, look ahead and make intelligent judgements ahead of time (i.e., slow down before you get right to the new speed limit sign). The posted speed limit is not saying you have to go exactly that speed; it is saying that is the maximum which you are permitted to go. Seriously, how difficult is that to understand, people! Either you are being deliberately obtuse, or you have an IQ lower than those speed limits you are breaking.

Wake me up when the Mississippi river is pouring that much oil into the Gulf of Mexico. That's like saying "you have 10 grams of arsenic in your body? That's nothing - you have 1000 times more water already there!"

OK sometimes 'Y' is a vowel... so I guess it would be 5 1/2 characters. Regardless, the point still stands that there is not a one-to-one mapping between characters and phonemes.
