I recently became enlightened and ditched comcast. Now I only live off my phone internet. I can use as much as I fucking want and only pay $60/month. Yes it's unlimited high speed data not the 1GB then 2G speeds dumb shit

So far I'm doing pretty good. LTE is usually 20+ mbps and ping low enough for playing vydia online.

Do you type with the ten-finger-system blindly /g/ ?

I'm in my second semester of business I.T. and most of my peers still use one or two fingers. I am currently starting to learn to use it blindly so i fit basic job requirements.
It's frustrating, but i bet in two months i should be able to do it properly.

>also bonus question: did you try DVORAK or anything differing from the QWERTY standard ?

DVORAK is a meme perpetuated by the creator.

I don't use all my fingers because my hands are too big and it would cripple me >tfw

I use most of them though.
>>
>>56375668
go cold turkey, stick with it. took me about a month. do it before you have to work against deadlines and shit.

it's a highly valuable skill to possess but don't expect it to be the norm. in my 6 worker department, only two of us do it.

>did you try DVORAK or anything differing from the QWERTY standard ?
I like the idea behind dvorak/colemak but I don't feel particularly inconvenienced by qwerty, whereas I can think of many inconveniences to not using it.

qwerty won't prevent you from typing much, much faster than your productivity will require, so stick with that.
>>
I use the three middle fingers of each hand and I type at 100WPM+. No need to go further.

Find a US employer willing to sponsor people for visas, get them to offer you a job, hope you get an H-1B visa (there's not enough for everyone who qualifies for one)

OR

Get a job with a company that has a US office, work with them for a year, ask them to transfer you to the US office and get you an L-1 visa. Apparently Microsoft sometimes gets new hires to work in Vancouver for a year before transferring them to Washington

Wouldn't that be pretty easily countered by getting yourself hit by an emp? It would have no affect on you but fry all the nanobots.

They'd just straight up tell you they were nanobots before injecting them because no-one gives a shit.

Passports (and other secure travel documents) are technology.

I recently read a criticism of the RFID chips in biometric passports, and the main arguments were

1) Security vulnerabilities (either real or hypothetical) that could result in interception of sensitive data as it goes through the air
2) Physical fragility of the chip; reports of a child's passport's chip breaking when they simply sat on it

So that led me to think about the purpose of the chip. The most important feature is Passive Authentication; a checksum of the personal info and photo, signed by the issuing authority to prevent forgery.

Question: Why do we need a chip for that? The chips only store 16-32KiB of data. It could easily be printed on the paper passport, either as a high-density barcode or just in an OCR-able font (like the existing MRZ, but much smaller).

Pros:
* The only technology required to read the entire dataset is a high-quality scanner/camera. This allows it to be read more broadly (don't need special RFID machines) and also allows the holder to confirm which data the passport holds on them.
* RFID readers already need to scan the passport too, in order to read the MRZ to form the BAC key.
* Paper is resilient and reliable, provided the data is printed with some degree of redundancy. Printed data would easily survive a number of damage events that would completely destroy a chip.
* Paper is secure- an adversary cannot read the data without physically acquiring, opening, and scanning your passport.

Cons:
* The physical security only applies if the document can be closed. This approach would be better suited for traditional paper book passports than biometric ID cards.
* Other cons that I'm not seeing?

>Other cons that I'm not seeing?
It doesn't provide the same stepping stone to total surveillance that an RFID chip does
>>
>>56375338
Are you referring to the fact that it isn't possible to be sure about which data the chip stores? Or something else?

>Computers
- Main: Clevo W670SZQ dual-booting Xubuntu Trusty & Windows (Xubuntu is my daily OS, and Windows 7 lies on a secondary internal SSD for occasional work necessities).
- Backup 1: MacBook Pro (15.4" CoreDuo / 2006 / MA464LL) Running Tiger (10.4.11)
- Backup 2: MacBook White (13" Core 2 Duo / 2008 / MB403LL) Running Snow Leopard (10.6.8)

>Mobile Phones
- Main: BlackBerry Classic (SQC100-2)
- Backup: LG C395 (for when I'm on trips where my property might be in a precarious position)

>Media Players
- Home: Nintentendo Wii Black Console (2011) with HomeBrew. I use WiiMC for entertainment needs, and it's attached to a nice stereo system.

my man! i got a classic myself. love it. tried the q10 before i committed to the classic though, and the only reasons i switched were the larger screen, extra physical buttons, and little trackpad. if you don't need that stuff, then stick with the q10.

hell yes. i actually have a performa 6400 sitting in storage, along with an apple SE/30, and a newton messagepad 2000. all still work except for the newton (just needs a new battery and charger).
