    New Computer Security Worry

    My passwords are very securely stored and not on some fancy index cards. I routinely cut up used 8x11 sheets of paper into eighths for note paper. I write my passwords on these. Usually, within a day or two, I can no longer find them which makes me very sure they are secure, even from me. Best regards, RA1

  3. Tomcal, you're amazing! I bet Reuters would kill for an image archive like yours.

  4. I think it's easy to talk past one another on this issue as it's really two issues: Eich's right to donate to an anti-gay cause, which he has; and my right to boycott his company, which I have. It's not either/or. It's both. A few days ago, I heard a local newscaster who said that Mozilla competes for a generally progressive San Francisco workforce that wants their company to reflect those values, and it wouldn't be considered 'cool' to work for Eich. Personally, I'm happy with Safari.

  6. I use the exact same protocol for saving my passwords......If I ever lose that, I am royally screwed (and not in a good way, such as bottoming for Prince Harry) .

  7. As you say, OZ, certain acts rise to the level of a boycott for some yet not for others. I was only dimly aware of the Chick-fil-A brand until their CEO started flinging his anti-gay cash and rhetoric around and then I vowed he'd never get a red cent out of me. But I still had this incredible urge to try one of their chicken sandwiches just to see what all the fuss was about. Last year, when I was traveling to one of the states where they do business, I got as far as the parking lot and sat there torn between my desire to go in and buy one and my pledge never to put a penny in his pocket. Imagine my surprise when I saw what looked like a perfectly good chicken sandwich, still in the wrapper, lying right next to the dumpster. I thought this would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity just to taste one, with the pickle on top, without having to actually buy one. I'm not proud of this, but I slid out of the car, slinked over by the dumpster and picked it up, hoping no one would see me. That's when I realized that somebody had pissed on it. We must have missed each other by minutes.

  8. At the risk of agreeing with Anhedonius, I was not impressed with sweets in Brazil in general, but that is not to say there are not some fantastic bakeries and restaurants all over Rio and SP that are world class. One of my favorites in Jardim Botanico is Escola do Pao, sadly it is not Escola de Pau, that would be even AWESOMER. Amazing weekend brunch, tons of fresh baked breads...really good food. thanks for the report on Guerin ihp, I will definitely be checking it out on my next trip to Rio.

  9. I totally agree. I don't begrudge anyone for not using Firefox based on their decision. It just didn't reach my nerve endings to that point. The chick-fil-a matter last year did and I will never buy from them again. On top of that, when I did a cross country trip last year I stopped in every state at a Chick-Fil-A and pissed in their parking lot. Yes, a bit extreme but that too was my right. And, it felt great. We all have levels of tolerance and once reached we make decisions based on our own meter system. For me, the 1k didn't bother me. If the number was higher or if other things were known of his view, that may have changed my mind but I didn't read any.

  11. I think some the less enlightened alumni of Liberty University have reached for their pitchforks because a gay broadway dancer was hired to choreograph its production of Mary Poppins. And Liberty U. has told them to bug off. Now I ain't saying that this means Liberty U ain't still a cesspool of Xtian evil mindedness, but the parallel offers room for thought. http://www.christianpost.com/news/liberty-university-shrugs-off-concerns-over-openly-gay-choreographer-assisting-in-campus-production-117576/
