Absolutely. His intent was to provoke "in the name of art" and it cost him. Idiots like this just help to validate the roles these TSA take up. A slap on the wrist and a 'go away now' wouldn't stop other idiots from attempting the same thing.

At least they caught the guy - imagine how he'd try to paint the TSA as useless if he was allowed on through.

You poke the bear, you get the horns.

I've had a single virus on a windows machine, and I was about 90% sure that it was going to be a virus and wanted to see what happened.

I don't run anti-virus software, but I think it's only the power users that are capable of doing so. User education is still too low. Would you trust your parents or grand-parents to "not install a virus" ?

Really really impressive! Django development on windows is a PITA (compared to linux/mac), and all other (free) IDEs that I've taken a look at haven't really given me too much. I'll definitely give this a go for a test application to see what it does for me.

I love this mainly for the crafting of the query. It would probably be worth extracting that piece out into a separate application of its own, so other Admin models are able to build out filtering in a similar manner.

Looks really great, congratulations.

A few things I picked up on though:

1. Couldn't toggle Absolute/Relative after I had placed a tooltip.

2. If you position your tooltip then click the "Display Next Button", the arrow moves, but the positioning stays the same (with a side arrow). Just a UI bug.

3. Instructions on the syntax to use for javascript event field.

4. Binding to an element would be nice.

5. Having the "Next" button move on to the next tooltip, hiding the old, and displaying the next. I think I'd like to use that flow rather than seeing all the tips at once.

Am I the only one that really dislikes the pinterest style layouts? Off center, mis-aligned .. I don't know how anyone finds it usable.

Came expecting news that the app store would not launch in iOS 6. Title is definitely more provocative than it needed to be.

And remember the myriad of cables that came with each new model of each brand of phone? A different cable, 10 years later. Yet when companies blindly continue with compatibility at the expense of all else, you get a different bandwagon of people complaining about THAT!

"How dare apple charge for a new cable". Meh, whatever - it's $10.

This sounds nearly the same as how I manage my Inbox. People at work know that I "dont give a shit" about email, and won't send me random nuff nuff stuff.

If it's a task that needs doing, put it in the backlog or task list, and I'll get to it when it's the next task in my list.

I check my email three times a day - when I get in, after lunch, and just before I go home. If you need a response earlier than that, then pick up a phone, walk over to my desk, or speak to my manager and he'll filter out the bullshit.

Having a reputation for not responding to email, and not using email as a task list or document store prevents most people from using it for that purpose towards me.

I live at Inbox "I dont care" for the majority of the day. Don't really understand how people get so bogged down in it.

And what about using a pepper in addition to a salt? Then a potential attacker requires access to application code as well as the database tables.

I can also imagine some kind of DDOS against the database using the linked system.
