It's is short for it is or it has. This is a 100% rule. It cannot be used for anything else. If you cannot expand it's to it is or it has, then it is wrong.
Its
Its is like his and her.

The only reason not to do would be if you knew someone was already taking advantage of the vulnerability in the wild.
Or worse, if you didn't know someone was already taking advantage of the vulnerability in the wild.
Not telling the sysadmins of the world that their systems are potentially at risk is a far worse crime than telling the attackers that they assuredly are.

I have yet to see an implementation of 2-factor authentication that uses this method; only poorly written articles by journalists who have misunderstood what they've read, and repetition of said articles by misinformed slashdot commenters.
Can you provide evidence of one that does?
That's called 10base2 when you run it on coax.
Correct. Good catch. It has been a long time.
I've seen 10baseT run on cat3.
Was it in the 80s?

Where were you that you were using 10baseT ethernet in the 80s?
Although it technically existed, the standard wasn't published until 1990. I personally didn't have any interaction with it until around 1992.
I have never seen with my own eyes anyone using 10baseT over Cat 3 cabling. I've heard rumors, but never seen it. In my experience, prior to the introduction of Cat 5 most people who were using 10baseT were doing so over coaxial cable.
Cat 5 cabling wasn't introduced until 1991 or 1992, and wasn't widely available for commercial use until sometime in the mid 90s.

Impossible? Care to explain why?
Carmack seems to think otherwise:
"While the headset is light and fits well, the player can't wear glasses under the current design. If you move the display further from your head you lose field of view. There are things they can do with sharpness in the software, or they can create adjustable optics that remove the need for glasses, but those are problems that will be solved in the retail version. "Astigmatism I could correct for with a fragment program," Carmack told me without skipping a beat. This is the world we live in; your vision problems can be solved in software."
And I just realized that you ARE the OP.
Imaginary mod points back at ya.
if biometrics are used to back up the assertion of the username
Biometrics is intended to replace the username, not "back it up".
Username/password combinations are NOT 2-factor authentication. 2-factor authentication is more along the line of the OP's first two examples of something you have plus something you know. For instance, my gmail account is secured using Google's 2-factor implementation and my smartphone:

... they feel a little more like authentication than identification to me.
Hopefully this is no longer the case.
Biometrics are not and should not be used for authentication at all, they fall under the category of identification.
Good article on the differences between Identification, Authentication, and Authorization here:

There is even a section which addresses biometrics specifically.
What are you suggesting it is a euphemism for?
We can't call it stealing while simultaneously taking the stance that copying MP3s (or any other data) isn't stealing because the original data has not been lost to the original owner.
I think what you're saying doesn't apply to Pi, because Pi is not random.
My understanding is that it is infinite, and it never repeats. Wouldn't it therefore have to contain every possible pattern?
You should maybe re-read the quote because it implies exactly what you said.
It does not say, "Don't memorize something that is in a book."
Without building a framework of knowledge to begin with, you would not know how or where to look up what you don't need to memorize.
If you believe that you can be in a society and not affect other members of your society (especially the young, impressionable ones, and the ones that aren't so happy with their status quo), then you've been sober and plain ignorant way too long.
There, fixed it proper. Argument remains the same.

You are the man. Best 99 cents I've ever spent in my life.
I bought it a week or two ago, and not many nights have gone by that I haven't played it at least for a little while sitting at the bar waiting for friends to show up.
I have to admit though, the one thing I don't like about it is the graphics. The lack of ASCII definitely makes the game feel oddly different even though the mechanics are the same.
Now go make me a NetHack port... I'll pay triple for it!

Dead? No excuse for laying off work.
