I never got an answer on my article- let me know if that's ok for a submission, and a good day to release it.

Are you working for Phrase Express or it's parent company Mattphoes?-cmpm (March 14, 2011, 09:35 AM)
It felt a bit odd it has to run a web server on your computer in order to work...-Jibz (March 14, 2011, 04:13 AM)
Disruptive authentication technology
Yubico breaks the authentication price/strength/complexity relationship with the YubiKey.
The YubiKey is a hardware authentication token that looks like a small USB memory stick, but it is actually a keyboard. With the command of an integrated touch button, the device can send a time-variant, secure login code as if it was typed in from a keyboard. And because USB keyboards are standard on all computers the YubiKey works on all platforms and browsers without the need for client software.
Yeah, I haven't actually tried the yubikey but isn't that what a sandbox really is? A login and authentication key in a limited environment?
As much as hardware is a pain, isn't it sort of impossible for software to ever really match hardware in this case? A software could easily have a single point of breakage and we're talking about complicated data transfer.-Paul Keith (March 12, 2011, 05:47 PM)
Isn't this what YubiKey was supposed to solve?-Paul Keith (March 11, 2011, 07:16 PM)
That folder is a system-specific folder, so it's ok that it is still there.

Sorry. I was continuing from a prior post, but truncated that there. I meant that inside THAT folder there is an "OpenCandy" folder, which is empty.-Renegade (March 12, 2011, 01:02 AM)
Checking from a reboot, the folder:
C:\Users\Renegade\AppData\Local
Is still there, but the DLL is deleted.
So, there is a trace of a folder, but no executable files.-Renegade (March 11, 2011, 03:44 PM)
I know an attorney that would agree. He says: Justice has it's place in the courtroom.-40hz (March 11, 2011, 09:10 AM)
A Supreme Court Justice would disagree: "This is a court of law, young man, not a court of justice." - Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.-Deozaan (March 11, 2011, 04:17 PM)
Q: What's the difference between a bad lawyer and a good lawyer?-wraith808 (March 11, 2011, 09:47 AM)
The US Center for Disease Control has announced they will no longer be using rats in their scientific research. Going forward, all experiments will be conducted using attorneys.

But in order to read a kindle book, I need a kindle reader, right? ACTA alone is a dark new world designed to cut off access to works around the world. It's a shame this is the crap the US is exportting around the globe.-zridling (March 10, 2011, 10:19 PM)
And that kind of sucks, since some of the basic privileges like commenting or posting links, etc. have to be earned through reputation. If I was a well-known, reputable user (e.g. over 9000! rep) on Stack Overflow and suddenly wanted to chime in with a helpful answer in (e.g.) Mathematics, then my ability to do so as a new member to the Mathematics subsection would be very limited.-Deozaan (March 10, 2011, 03:25 PM)
EDIT: What problem are you having with the link? My problem was that it said that it was creating a new account, so I got a bit paranoid about losing my rep/accounts. But I went ahead and did it, and it worked.-wraith808 (March 10, 2011, 10:54 AM)
Yeah, it told me it was creating a new account, so I also got paranoid about losing reputation and badges and stuff like that. I went ahead and did it, and I lost reputation and badges and stuff like that on all sites except the one I already had an account on, Stack Overflow. Or, in other words, each sub-site got a "new" account and no reputation or badges or stuff like that got transferred over.
So now I'm not sure if it was supposed to do that or not.-Deozaan (March 10, 2011, 03:13 PM)
So... Do they really expect me to create a new account for each subdomain?
I have an account with Stack Overflow. But if I try to login to Stack Exchange then it tells me my Open ID is new and it says I'm going to be creating a new account.
EDIT: Found this http://blog.stackove...-network-auto-login/ but I'm still trying to figure out how to get it to work.-Deozaan (March 09, 2011, 07:15 PM)
It seems like a lot of FUD, because there's a resistance to anyone monetizing software through ads. A bad state of things, as I think there's a right way, and a wrong way, and it should be a legitimate way to monetize software development.-wraith808 (March 09, 2011, 02:48 PM)
Might want to read the article I linked to before you assume it's FUD. OC does not do things the way most "monetizing" add-in software does. And the guys operating the freeware review site I mentioned aren't Nervous-Nellie sensationalist type bloggers either.
There's a legitimate concern surrounding OC in particular - which has nothing to do with software authors wanting to make some money from their efforts. So let's focus on this specific software and not get sidetracked.-40hz (March 09, 2011, 03:31 PM)
However, why people who are looking for sales don't just release their app as trialware will always be a mystery to me. Unless, of course, it's because the market has made it clear it doesn't consider the app worth paying for to begin with - hence the author's need to "monetize" as opposed to sell it.
Note too that Microsoft is flagging OC as adware/spyware. And nobody is more committed to the concept of having people pay to use software than they are. Draw whatever conclusions you will from that. But I don't think FUD can legitimately be one of them.
