The one major difference that I see is that it's really hard to kill someone with encrypted data.
Which reminds me of:
Loke Groundrunner: I'm going to trust my feelings and use the power of the thumb.
Voice of Oobedoob Benubi: Use the instrument panel, Loke.
Loke Groundrunner: What?
Voice of Oobedoob Benubi: The instrument panel. That's what it's there for. Advanced weaponry designed to hit tiny targets.
Loke Groundrunner: Ok, ok.
Thanks for letting us know.
To add to drexel, foam rollers or rumble rollers are great. I've also got an orbital buffer I use on myself that, as funny as it sounds, works amazingly well.
I'd say that not stretching and not warming up are two different things.
I'm pretty sure that wasting time with your partner/children/family/friends IS the whole point of life :)
There's something about that last statement that blew my mind. your own personal composer, writing your own personal theme music, specifically designed to catch your current mood, or even modify it.
I re-watched the last gif where he makes good contact over and over because of his action. His head doesn't move a millimetre, it's all body motion. Amazing.
The only reason I jailbroke(?) my 3gs was so that I could use an app that allowed me to adhoc wifi because they wouldn't (even though they could). Would it be fair of them to lock me out?
Combine this with google authenticator for 2 step auth?
^ This. VPN is not a magic bullet. It stops your ISP from snooping and adds another hoop to jump through when tracing you. If the sites you visit (nodes you hit) are monitored you are still at risk.
[Edit] not protected/still at risk.
So, at least with gmail, you could implement randomly generated email addresses for logging in.
The question is, does this solve the problem and is it a problem worth solving?

It seems that one attack vector used to hack accounts is based on the same email address being used on multiple sites. This would also go for email addresses using a simple algorithm (ie. [email protected] for HN, [email protected] at FB, etc).In the age of keepass/lastpass etc, and on a scale of 1 to "tin foil hat", would it be better to use a randomly generated address for...
I ssh through amazon micro instances where necessary (not often), and just recently purchased a month through hidemyass.com - bad name, good service.
Sounds like you're not applying to the right companies. Any developer that comes to me with an obvious love for code moves to the top of the list. If you're coding in your own time for fun, it's not a job, and I'd want to hire you - in some capacity :)
Only problem is both server and client need to be win7. Would be more useful if the client could be anything.
"Many Android devices have locked bootloaders. I think this is a despicable anti-consumer design choice, but nobody's taking action against it."
This struck a cord with me.
I own an iPhone, and an Acer Iconia tablet, both of which are locked down. I've jail-broken, or rooted the devices, but the fact that I can't legitimately install custom roms, etc, frustrates the hell out of me.
One advantage I see (but don't agree with) for the iPhone being locked down is users locked into the app store, but for the Iconia?
Could the smudge hack be fixed by using more than one picture/passwordswipe?
I get my meat (grass feed, free range) from a local butcher/farmer. I know exactly how it's produced and where it comes from.
There are any number of ways to get your food. Shrink wrapped from a bulk supplier is only one of them.
Something I'm very passionate about is explaining that "Paleo" is not a diet in the traditional sense. It's a lifestyle that promotes health and disease prevention through food choices and exercise which has the additional benefit of easy weight loss.
It's also the easiest* food/health hack that I've ever experienced.
*easiest: I don't get food cravings, can still eat amazing food (try Vietnamese without the rice/noodles), and am actually enjoying exercising 30 - 45 mins a day.
Go Paleo/Primal, do a little exercise, eat bacon, gain washboard abs.
(although that last statement is a little flippant, a paleo lifestyle will help reduce a number of inflammatory diseases, and other issues associated with lectins, omega 3/6 imbalances, etc)
Kenya has a population of ~39,000,000 of which 40% live on less than $2 a day. I'm not sure many of those 300,000+ smartphones are going to the poor.
Here's the source: gpmin.googlecode.com
There are a number of browser extensions out there that do this. G+Me and gpMin to name a couple.
Note: I wrote gpMin.
Edit: I hope that didn't come across as condescending or short. I just wanted to let you know there are a number of good extensions already out there that will do what you're looking for and provide extra benefits.

Over the last week I've developed and released an extension for Chrome/Firefox that collapses and adds a toggle bar to each Google+ stream post.I've also just released a bookmark that takes the extension code (from code.google.com) and injects it into the G+ page for those browsers that can't use the extension.now, my understanding is that this is basically user-control cross-site scripting...
As I commented in the article, I just added a free Chrome extension to the Chrome web store today that collapses every post and adds an expand/collapse toggle bar to them.
Makes things a lot more condensed and manageable.
It's called gpMin and can be found for here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ekdhfgmnpfbmhhdaij...
I'll put the code up on git in a day or so when I get some time.
I'd love an invite too. [retracted]
[Edit] Got it. Thanks Julien!
