Public Notes

Public I predict a spike in car accidents this week due to people who were just barely coordinated enough to safely drive while talking on their cell phones now fumbling to figure out their new-fangled "hands-free" accessory.
Stupid law; reckless driving is already illegal, and some people are perfectly capable of driving safely while talking on the phone.Jul 2nd 5 Replies Forward

Public I think it's time to stop listening to the Security Now podcast. Just overheard Leo bagging on .NET because the installer is bigger than Steve's SpinRite executable. So many times on these casts Leo would do so much better just keeping his mouth shut on stuff he's ignorant about; like the old saying goes. Plus, while Steve generally has a pretty good grasp on most of their ...

Public Linux install tip: always get the "minimal" or "network" CD image. It does take longer to install and requires a network connection, but the CD never goes "stale", and you also don't need to download updates right after installing. Plus you can put them on those cool tiny CDs.

Public I was getting distracted driving down the 405 and watching the GPS tracking dot on Google Maps update in real time. At the default zoom level, it's basically like a 1 or 2 fps animation of me driving down the freeway.
Add in the extreme usefullness of the color coded traffic indicators on the freeways, and this is an indispensable app for people who live in LA.Mar 1st Reply! Forward

Public Best politician's statement on net neutrality I've heard; sounds like he actually understands the issue.
It's from Obama, from June of 2006. It looks like he did a bunch of these podcasts before he started running for pres.

Public If Steve Gillmore keeps talking about the Google Reader / GMail "scandal" on every freaking show (now daily) I think I might have to unsubscribe.
It's not just that I disagree with him (although I do), but he makes such a big deal about it on virtually every show, while at the same time being a big fan of Facebook, who have done far worse stuff recently.Feb 14th Reply! Forward
