Well, even obvious universal truths need to occasionally be tested and validated. In this case we all rest comfortably being certain that: A) Shit continues to roll down hill; and, B) Pascalâ(TM)s principle holds â" water seeks itâ(TM)s own level.

If I had limited time to interview, Iâ(TM)d be quite interested in how a candidate performs under stress. Pure coding skills can be assessed in an online test.

I disagree that there corruption in USG procurement as you describe. Iâ(TM)ve done quite a bit of USG procurement work and my experience has been the opposite: fear of corruption claims drives a rigid technical and pricing scoring rubric that occasionally leads to suboptimal award because of an unintended scoring outcome (e.g., minimum technically qualified low cost bidder is awarded). Itâ(TM)s a new world with Trumpelthin, so maybe corruption is beginning, but I doubt itâ(TM)s yet infected the technocrats that make the award decisions.

I very much hope that in order to test this silly prank she had to uninstall the Tesla app that unlocks her car using NFC with a range of meters not centimeters. A totally derivative demonstration of concept. OK. I admit it, she one upped me. I just heated my keycard and bent it into a slight curve before supergluing it to the inside of my wrist. My 3D Tat sure is going to look stupid next to her permanent suture scar in the shape of the Tesla logo.

To those who say that Apple stiffles innovation, please cite examples of innovation within the products for which Apple is seeking an injunction. Why would one invest in innovation if the market is free to copy immediately?

slightly off topic, but what do you have about c++? Also, I think I've seen you here before, what's your actual screen name?

Nice approximation of 2 factor authentication: from a selection of questions you need to know (1) which one to answer, and (2) the answer.

If Verizon is claiming their free speech is being violated, then they must be accepting responsibility for the content of that speech. IANAL, but I would think that Verizon would want to avoid being held accountable for content.

A few months ago some guy generated random numbers firing lasers at diamonds; and now we've got quantum light. Maybe someone could explain how randomness varies in non-random ways...

Privacy /= security.

The effort to hash and salt contact information to provide a basic level of privacy over cleartext is computationally and programatically inconsequencial. We're locking the screen door, here; not securing Fort Knox.

All homeless people are criminals? Part of this program is about raising awareness -- and clearly you could use some awareness raising....

The homeless person doesn't keep the money for the same reason that the cashier at McDonald's doesn't get to keep the money... The profits will be donated to a homeless shelter in Austin.

You assume that gov't entities would prefer bullet proof systems... How could Bush43 have won the elections in Ohio if SmarTech didn't have the man in the middle exploit set up to rig the results?

THe best rumor I've heard so far is that the ipad2 will see a price drop to make it more cost competitive with kindle fire. We'll see in a few days.

Length of life (in years) dropped from 120 years to 114 years when the Romans added August to the Calendar...
