Really interesting read. I've heard about all the studies in this separately. Kind of nice to see that there really is someone out there compiling like ideas. Too bad where I work, the improvements outlined will never happen in my lifetime.Dwindlehop wrote:http://www.nytimes.com/2005/10/16/magaz ... nd&emc=rss

Wow. He gets a little long winded and conspiracy theory-ish at the end, but still wow.Dwindlehop wrote:http://boingboing.net/profits_of_fear.html
A few thousand words on the inventor of the neutron bomb and the insanity of American nuclear policy.
I know Mellon already did this sort of verification and BofA has given notice that they're going to start soon. They're not gonna go the RSA key way of course, but use some of the other simpler and cheaper "secret question" methods. What I gathered from the quick blurb BofA presented, they're going to "finger print" your computer and if you have to use a different computer, then you need to go through another form of authentication. The other form of authentication had something to do with pictures and a phrase describing the picture for people who can't see the picture.Peijen wrote:hahaha, yeah right
They could require banks to give out those RSA tokens to each of their customers. Those things only cost like $5000 or something.
Actually, they're fairly cheap for large numbers of users. The major cost is the VPN hardware you need at your gateways. The tokens themselves are actually fairly cheap. So the distributed cost shouldn't be that much, and probably well worth it considering the amount of money they're losing to phishers.Peijen wrote:hahaha, yeah right

I dunno. I think it would be fun, but then I actually like history.
You know that sounds like a good law. When politicians fail to fullfil their promises we should be allow to beat them up.Malviya's prediction is not the first of its type by an Indian astrologer. But in the past, crowds have beaten up astrologers when their predicted demise failed to occur.

Canada ranks second to Saudi Arabia in proven crude oil reserves, including an estimated 174 billion barrels from the oilsands.
"Anyone watching what is happening up north will recognize that, before long, Canada will inevitably overtake Saudi Arabia as the world's oil giant," said Mr. Hatch. "What does this all mean for the United States? It means that the United States can enjoy a new gigantic source of oil from a friendly neighbour."
Alberta's ability to make oilsands production economically viable is a "great success story," said Mr. Hatch, who at one point joked that "we in this country don't want to be on Canada's shit list, ever."
