If Colorado simply required a state ID for purchasers that would seem to mute the issue. Purchases by out of state people would be illegal like anywhere else and CO would have done nothing to impact NE and OK. Of course, we tourists would be infuriated and might try our own suit claiming unfair impact.

I logged on in the early days of October to disastrous effect. After multiple attempts and cache clearings I was able to register but could not progress very far. Now I am able to pull up and edit my application with no "serious" glitches. The site still throws up poorly designed pages, imposes goofy requirements, and loads slower than would be optimal. It does, however, appear to get the job done which is what counts in a critcal government service. Unfortunately, I don't actually qualify for ACA coverage so I was not able to test the critical identity verification process.

The above lead says the new drug "will extend the average human life span to 150," the article says it "can slow the aging process...raising the prospect of people eventually living to 150 or more." Big difference. We can't cure common diseases yet we expect the average person to gracefully live another 70 years? Good luck with that.

Someone who did the checks Patrick made could write to the IT staff describing everything he did in hypothetical terms: "it looks like it might be possible for me to increment the number and download other account holders' statements. In fact it looks like I might be able to run the following linux bash script and download hundreds of statements... If you try this script and validate my concerns, ideally the pillar website should generate some kind of hash (such as member ID + unique salt = 'documentId') instead of a direct object reference. See:...Please let me know what you find. If my fears are validated I would hate to see this vulnerability appear on public sites thus jeopardizing my information."

This thread sure brings back memories. I spent a couple of summers in the 60s as an assistant to the Chicago schools photographer. I loved shooting the Graphlex 4x5s but the high volume darkroom work was a serious PITA.. I am not aware of any 4x5 digital backs but marrying one of those old cameras to the digital world would certainly be fun.
