not inconsiderable... considerable? I think you actually meant inconsiderable, as that implies a lack of talent.

Google now does this... as does waze... am I missing something?

If your problem is psychological then thinking it helps is actually a good thing and it may in fact help in exactly that way (as could a true pill, but real medication also has side effects). If its physical, then it probably isn’t helpful though.

I’m not saying you should knowingly take placebos, I’m suggesting that if you don’t know that a treatment would have no real effect, and you think it did, and it actually makes you feel better (particularly in psychological cases) then its not a bad thing. If however you are intentionally avoiding treatments with…

Not sure I agree with this. To contrast your argument: If the placebo effect works for a person, then does it matter?

This seems to only be on opera mini

If by negotiate you mean they suggested a number I said a number that was roughly 35% more and they said ok without any argument... then yes? Really it just made me feel like I should have asked for even more, I expected a fight.

Interesting, so a brute force remote attack set up to only try passwords of (3 characters)-(3 characters)-(3 characters)-(3 characters) wouldn’t be practical?

What are your thoughts on Apple’s keychain password generator with its four groups of 3 alphanumeric characters and hyphens separating it. It seems insecure to me in that it is only really 12 characters (since a decent amount of them are predictably placed hyphens)

I understand what the issue they bring up is, however it only effects users who haphazardly download applications and trust everyone, and even then the attack vector is very broad (as you cannot reasonably target a specific user). So if the attacker lives in Cali and the app is installed on a lock in Florida, the…

“It controls 41.66 percent of the market whereas Internet Explorer and Microsoft’s new Edge browser collectively have 41.35 percent.”

In that case every single device with an app store of sorts has the same security hole: being able to download a 3rd party application.

I wouldn’t worry too much, the “hack” requires you download 3rd party control apps. So if you don’t trust 3rd party apps you are fine. It is also a very broad attack that is somewhat unlikely to have much impact on you as the attacker who made the app is unlikely to fly across the country to gain access to your home.

This is a hack in the same way someone making a seemingly legit windows application that also does key logging is a hack. These “hacks” are not true hacks in the sense that they require the user download a compromised application, one created by the attacker. Meaning someone would have to create an application that…

We do... its just they take 17 years to gestate. Every year though there are cicadas.

Ah, so they were saying someone headbutted the person’s head. Yes, now the repetition makes sense.

“bleeding with a head wound to the head”

LOL, you must be trolling. ITO does not conduct selectively. You couldn’t use a coat of ITO on glass and apply a voltage to a very specific point on that sheet of glass.

Paper usage has had a significant decline since the computer, I don’t think paper towels in bathrooms is quite at the level of paper waste that came from magazines, newspapers, and other print.
