Are Usability & Security Opposites in Computing?
Not that Slashdot needs the traffic, but they are discussing something that might be of interest to this crowd.

Bloglines woes
Around two weeks ago I recognized that

Calling the file in a browser or via other Webfeed readers worked perfectly alright. So, I contacted support at Bloglines and they quickly responded and did something that somehow resolved the problem with reading the Webfeed.

A 'Filling Station' Model of E-learning?
The BBC and podcasting. It's a natural, right? Yes - and it should be speaking volumes to educators. "This is a bit different from a model of e-learning which assumes students sit in front of computers, need to be constantly connected to a network and must access all they require from the institutional VLE. I think users may find this 'disconnected but connectable' model attractive as well." By Derek Morrison, Auricle, November 15, 2004 [

Atomic Time on a Grain of Rice
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created an atomic clock which measures a mere 1.5mm by 5mm. This is just slightly larger than a grain of rice. Compared to the current crop of commercially available atomic clocks, most of which are about the size of a large filing cabinet, this leap in miniaturization is expected to impact everything from navigation to faster cell phone and data networks. Atomic clocks are prized for their precision. Unlike their piezoelectric crystal counterparts, they use the vibrations of atoms to time events, and are much more accurate because From

I'd be willing to pay $5/gigabyte that I go over on Flickr. I really can't believe I take so many photos and that they take so much space. What happens when I buy a 6 or 8 megapixel SLR (which I plan to in Christmas 2005)? I really don't want to upload reduced resolution because then I have to worry about backing up the high res or From
