sager quad core, 4gig ram, 500 gig hard drive. that was three years ago and my next will be a sager also as the to power/cost ratio is great. with Ubuntu on it things hum beautifully. having the extra cores is great so that I can builds, watchrs, and a movie all running why working.

While I like 2 step authentication I wish Google would get rid of SMS password reset. With this enabled all a person needs is your phone to gain access to your account. Given that police can grab you phone whenever you are stopped this means they can "hack" your account at the same time. Another example could be a cleaning person at a hotel finding your phone. Just two examples off the top of my head. Basically, SMS password reset makes your phone the golden key.

the big issue I see with this system is that the audit ballots are invalid. this means the developer only has to ensure that the audit system works. they can do whatever they want with the rest if the ballots since they can not be audited

while this was a good response to their security issue a little heads up would have been good. they broke all of our auto builds and by the time we figured it out the guy who's key was used for the builds was gone on his vacation. luckily, we got ahold of him prior to him turning his phone off.

Is it bootstrap? 14 years ago

I keep seeing people post their dislike for "bootstrap" sites so here is one that I think changes the base styling enough to be "not another bootstrap" site.

maybe dropbox should run security checks on uploaded content that goes in the public folder. if they are going to host it they should make sure it's safe.

of course this makes an assumption about why IE flagged Dropbox.
