What a great find! I guess back then, they didn't think too much about the "rights" for a fragment of code lifted from a magazine. I don't think movie studios would do this today.

Grape/wine vinegar (usually) isn't Kosher either.

C'mon. If it's part of a Linux distribution it's part of "Linux".

Windows handles this nicely with User Account Control (UAC) and Secure Desktop mode.

Many of OSX's problems come from trying to shoehorn security on top of operating system concepts that were developed in 1969.

We've been running Erlang directly on Xen with "no os" for a while. Works great and very efficient.

And there's no "shyness" of overweight people telling healthy-weight people they're "skinny". I hear it every day, and my weight is dead-smack-in-the-middle of the "healthy" range for my height.

In the United States, Obesity is one of the leading causes of death, with estimates as high as 300,000 deaths/year.

(See https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/adult.html )

Deaths from Anorexia are about 150/year

(See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11513012 )

Yet we're all hypersensitive about telling women they are overweight or obese.

It would be like spending weeks in urban schools talking about how to avoid poisonous snake bites and spending 15 minutes on automobile safety.

Try getting your money back if it's stolen. (And try convincing the bank you didn't give someone your PIN!) With a credit card, it's the banks money.

This is one issue our President should take some executive action on, if at all possible. At the very least, people should not be charged for credit freezes for the next few years, and existing laws should be reviewed. Taking action against Equifax would be supported by the vast majority of Americans.

I miss the old early 80s Times Square! Nice and seedy. (I was born in Brooklyn in 1962)

This is a great video, and accurately sums up MongoDB and NoSQL. I can't imagine why they need to raise money, why they spend so much money as it is, and why they think there's a big growth business in NoSQL.

I wonder if a technique like this will work for unshredding documents.

I've never seen Chip+Pin on a Credit Card in the United States outside of Target Stores that uses it on their own store card.

Everywhere else is Chip+Signature.

Are you thinking of Debit Cards? (I won't use these. I got my bank, BOFA to issue me an ATM card that's not a debit card.)

Don't we need more men in primary and secondary school teaching? I would think so.

I fast at least 6 days/year for religious reasons. 3 are 12 hour fasts, and 3 are 25 hour fasts. It really does feel good, and I don't think it's harmful. I'm very consciousness about my weight in general, and this is accomplished by strict calorie counting.

You'll notice that the vast majority Silicon Valley CEOs are not overweight, and I believe it is an unspoken "filter" they use to judge a person (whether this is right/just/moral is another story). There seems to be a belief that if a person isn't disciplined enough to be in charge of his hunger, then he's not disciplined.

> At 5’11” and 165lbs, Woo doesn’t need to lose weight, although he did drop 12lbs over the week.

Well, I'm an inch shorter and 15# less. I don't think 5'11 and 165 is particularly skinny!
