Security Tip: Change color scheme

Websites sometimes cause pop-ups that are made to look like they come from Windows to convince you to trust them. But they always use the default color scheme so if you change your color scheme it will be obvious which pop-ups are caused by Windows and which are caused by a website.

The eternal optimism of the Clear mind - Joel on Software

The eternal optimism of the Clear mind - Joel on Software: "Now, the TSA doesn’t even trust pilots, who go through the same screening as the rest of us to make sure they’re not bringing something extraordinarily dangerous onto a plane like a 3.5 oz bottle of shampoo. Because, of course, with a little bottle of shampoo, they could make a bomb, which they could use to fly the plane they are piloting into a building, something that is impossible for mere pilots sitting at the controls of the jet."

Iacocca Tells Detroit to Kick Government Out ASAP - Auto - FOXNews.com

Iacocca Tells Detroit to Kick Government Out ASAP - Auto - FOXNews.com: "Former Chrysler CEO Lee Iacocca has some advice for the people who are running his old company, and those who will lead the new General Motors: Get the government out of your business as soon as possible.

Iacocca, a slick pitchman who became an American hero in the early 1980s when he used over a $1 billion in government loan guarantees to rescue the nearly defunct Chrysler, said in a rare interview with The Associated Press that government intervention was strong motivation to repay the loan early.

'They're on you day and night. Their oversight is just too extreme,' said Iacocca, who is promoting a new limited-edition customized Iacocca Ford Mustang. 'That's why our 10-year loan, we paid it back in three years. We couldn't stand the government. The bureaucracy kills you.'"

Wild Wisconsin: Around the Web: Website Development: "For website hosting I used Fatcows. Not only do they provide one of the cheapest plans but they also have top of the line customer support. I had used GoDaddy in the past and was satisfied with their price (not as good as FatCows though) but had troubles with their help and site navigation. Fatcows has a better navigation system and less service advertisements. It is simple, clean, and effective.

I have had a few issues with server speed, but they seem to have addressed those. If you do use Fat cows, please enter my website (www.visitchristtheking.org) in as your referral and I will get a slight discount on my next membership renewal."

Maybe it is time to change our expectations about testing students in offline mode. Maybe it should be ok for students to use communications devices to help them with tests because they would do that in the real world. How accurate are offline tests at measuring real-world effective knowledge?
