Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Coding and Sleeping

Through the strategy we seek to enable a future where individuals can voluntarily choose to obtain a secure, interoperable, and privacy-enhancing credential (e.g., a smart identity card, a digital certificate on their cell phone, etc) from a variety of service providers – both public and private – to authenticate themselves online for different types of transactions (e.g., online banking, accessing electronic health records, sending email, etc.).

Actually, that doesn't sound like a bad idea.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I think it's inevitable, though it may be further in the future than the current administration might like.

I might do it, if I were certain my days of almost-crime were entirely behind me. Hope remains.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My gut feeling is it'd just turn into a big mess. But if it works as it's supposed to, that would be cool.

It sounds like the identieeze card in Hitchhikers Guide.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I`m so sick of my wrong facing quotes on my phone. I know apos ' doesn`t work for everybody. But what if I use the directional quotes?
 
Like, what is this: ’ ? It should be a single right quote. And this: ‘ should be a single left quote. Is it?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

To me they just look the same, but that matters less than the markup showing.

Yeah, Liese, your posts always have curly quotes in them.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

So I'm finally going to get rid of my collection of dead computers in the closet at the e-cycling thingy in Park Slope on Sunday. Assuming I can't even get the G5 to power on (which is how it wound up in the closet in the first place), removing the hard drive should take care of any personal information on that machine, yes? Am I missing something obvious?
