Comment on ATARI: What’s in a name? by Dustin D. Trammell

I never stated that the name of the company is a “Chinese name”, only that its name is the same as a Chinese term that seems to embody the state of the company in its many iterations over the years, which was the entire point of the blog post. I’m sorry that you completely missed the point.

A “Chinese” name? For real? Did you even read the Wikipedia article you linked to?

i went in 2008, and while it was ok, didn’t get any pualicatrr OMG moments that made me want to go this year. it seems most of the speakers ended to present their folio of past work, from university to current, which got tedious after several speakers. the most impressive ones focused on smaller areas of their careers, pualicatrr jobs and clients Reply

Comment on Metroid Security Mechanism by TJ Leeland

as security expert I can tell you why make-believe security is better than real life: make-believe users don’t call tech-support.

Seriously.

The more secure you make things, the more calls you get from users who can’t get into their systems. You add “random” anything to a login process and you will see lockouts skyrocket and calls to support will jump along with it. It’s always a balance between security and usability. They can only give you the level of security the dumbest users can handle.

I think you would find this website very funny:

My personal favorite:

User: Pretty good.
Cleverbot: That’s good.
User: You see the new Twilight Movie?
Cleverbot: I’m not interested in any of the twilight movies or books.
User: You’re not into vampires?
Cleverbot: I’m not into humans

I never said foolproof. If someone tortures your password from you, then that factor is compromised; all the reason for more than one. I also never said the “data” for each factor is self identifying. If your pin number is 1234, that is not unique, but is secret and qualifies as a factor when associated with your id or card number (which is not secret and not a factor). A location is a valid point of reference especially on the fraud prevention realm, but is not a factor of identifying a person. Any person can be at that location claiming to be you, just like any person can say they their pin is 1234 claiming to be you. The differenece is that location is not secret.

Comment on SmartPhone Unlock Screens: Moving in the Wrong Direction by Judson Dicampli

Whilst I really like a physical keyboard, after managing the Samsung Captivate for about 15 minutes, it’s hard to move back. At the moment I am debating whether to go to Verizon for the Droid X, move to Dash for the EVO, or stay with AT&T for the Captivate…selections, decisions.
