Sags you very much.

. . .we're talking Ballmer's hands on your flesh, by proxy.
Might not be a bad thing if you're Mrs. Ballmer, but, otherwise. . .

How would your HMAC-like method of combining the site name with your private key work around error messages like these?

• Your password doesn't have an uppercase character.
• Your password doesn't have a punctuation mark.
• Your password contains a forbidden punctuation mark.
• Your password is too long.
• Your password has expired; please change it.
• Your password matches a password that you have previously used on this site.
• Your laptop/tablet is not allowed on our network. Instead, use our [possibly keylogged] Internet terminal.

I think the idea is that a keylogger is already installed on your phone when you buy it. Because the free parts of Android's userspace are Apache licensed, not copylefted, the carrier isn't obligated to provide complete corresponding source code along with the phone to ensure that your handset doesn't already have covert snooping software to comply with CALEA and its sequels.

A hosts file is a method of blacklisting hostnames of servers with which you desire not to communicate, such as malware-infested servers and the servers that host social recommendation ("like") widgets that track you and slow down page loads.

You could use Wine. But I guess part of the tool's functionality is to manually cache the IP addresses hosts you access most, at the top of the file, so that the operating system's resolver doesn't have to do so much work.

The next generation can more easily afford the generic knockoff of the cure once the patent has expired.

A cure for cancer would make the patient a potential user of more drugs for conditions acquired later in life, such as drugs to control erectile dysfunction, drugs to increase bone density, drugs to control autoimmune arthritis, etc.

The difference is that a treatment with ongoing costs is more like life support than like a cure. Insulin is not a "cure" for diabetes mellitus caused by pancreatic failure (type I). Nor is metformin a "cure" for diabetes mellitus caused by insulin resistance (type II). But I still agree with you that an upgrade from a horrible disease to a condition managed through life support is worthwhile.

My brother has since passed away and I updated his iPad to a 3rd gen model and got a matching model so I could help him out over the phone

There's a ouija board app?

That will force me to write it down, making the site inherently less secure.

Not if you keep it in a secure place, like where you keep your money and credit cards.

Congratulations on your statistics-defying eyesight

Age-related presbyopia is easily remedied with cheap reading glasses. If you're also nearsighted and don't wear contacts you can just take your glasses off to read. If he had cataract surgery and the surgeon used a CrystaLens (more expensive than a standard IOL) he can probably see better than a kid.

Around the time crash safety standards rose, if rally2xs is to be believed. Or when CAFE was instituted and automakers found they could comply by reclassifying their station wagons (called "estate cars" in some markets) as light trucks, creating the minivan and SUV.
