Re: New Android Toy! A tablet!

huh? you mean the cipher? the whole point is to use the same cipher for every site. the security team at my company actually recommends it, as long as you use different ciphers for less-secure accounts. if someone were to figure out my cipher, they'd only have the "password" part of my password, in ...

Re: New Android Toy! A tablet!

using a cipher+identifier combination is more secure than a password safe. e.g., crA2y34LLs-FCBOOK or crA2y34LLs-AD or crA2y34LLs-youporn

Re: Mars One - Colonizing Mars

You can't say you don't want to get into religion debate and then just... put forth your position on the future of religion. you went from "this is how i feel religion /should/ be treated in the future" to "this is how i /predict/ the people doing the colonizing will treat religion." does this mean ...

Re: Mars One - Colonizing Mars

none of that precludes a world organization being successful... additionally, holy crap, if history has taught us anything it's that, as far as human rights go, we DO have to "force this type of thing." slavery got abolished in the states, saddam got hunted down, and hitler had the whole world again...

[quote=PhaseDMA]As far as why I think we will get to mars? Well the fact we have already been to Mars doesn't hurt... However what NASA did while worth wild and awesome was financially stupid (Just to be clear I would have support this stupidity). Today though private companies can get into space an...

Re: Desktop Shopping

building your own computer is a big step to take, but the satisfaction of being able to say "i built this computer that i use, myself" feels great, and your non-technological friends will be all impressed and shit. plus, unless you've found a Killer Deal on a preassembled computer, it'll be cheaper ...
