How Long Would You Last Disconnected?
How long could you go without your computer, Internet, email, cell phone, pda, etc? Forbes managing editor, Dennis Neal, made it less than 2 days through his one week challenge. Watch it below.
After watching this video I feel pretty good. I could make it longer than 2 days… if I had to, maybe a week. I wouldn’t choose to though.

Encryption could make you more vulnerable
Interesting read from Computerworld…
“Lot of organizations are new to encryption,” he added. “Their only exposure to it has been with SSL, but that’s just a session. When you shift to data at rest and encrypt your laptop, if you lose the key you trash your data – it’s a self-inflicted denial-of-service attack.
Encryption is also as big an interest for the bad guys as the good guys, warned Anton Grashion, European security strategist for Juniper. “As soon as you let the cat out of the bag, they’ll be using it too,” he said. “For example, it looks like a great opportunity to start attacking key infrastructures.”
“It’s a new class of DoS attack,” agreed Moulds. “If you can go in and revoke a key and then demand a ransom, it’s a fantastic way of attacking a business.”
Knight Rider is Back!
One week from today, February 17th KITT is back, bigger and better than ever. Knight Rider is returning to the tube as a 2 hour made for TV movie. Set your DVR now so you don’t miss the reincarnation. 9/8c on NBC!
Knight Rider was one of my favorite shows as a kid. My dad took me to a car show once when I was in elementary school and I got to have my picture made sitting inside KITT. Awesome memory!
As the original story resumes, the new KITT (Knight Industries Three Thousand) is absolutely the coolest car ever created: its supercomputer capable of hacking almost any system; its weapons systems efficient; and its body — thanks to its creator’s work and nanotechnology — is capable of actually shifting shape and color. Plus, its artificial intelligence makes it the ideal good cop partner: logical, precise and possessing infinite knowledge. It is the ultimate car — and someone will be willing to do anything to obtain it.
Don't double dip that chip
Last year the food microbiologist’s undergraduate students [at Clemson University] examined the effects of double dipping using volunteers, wheat crackers and several sample dips. They found that three to six double dips transferred about 10,000 bacteria from an eater’s mouth to the remaining dip sample.”I like to say it’s like kissing everybody at the party — if you’re double dipping, you’re putting some of your bacteria in that dip,” Dawson said.
Nothing really surprising there… but it does remind most of us of a hilarious Seinfeld clip. Classic!
Make sure you watch the dip at your SuperBowl party… actually, might be best to just stick with the chili.
