How to “Peel” Hard-Boiled Eggs Without Peeling (84)
on The Blog of Author Tim Ferriss (392) permalinkThe baking soda is optional, but if you choose not to use it, be sure to move the eggs to cold water (use ice) immediately after boiling. Blow from the tip to the broader base for faster de-shelling. My preferred eggs are Gold Circle Farms cage-free DHA Omega 3 eggs, which contain 150 mg of DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) per whole egg.

Don't hide or disable menu items (60)
on Joel on Software (98) permalinkA long time ago, it became fashionable, even recommended, to disable menu items when they could not be used. Don't do this. Users see the disabled menu item that they want to click on, and are left entirely without a clue of what they are supposed to do to get the menu item to work. Instead, leave the menu item enabled.

Open Wireless and the Illusion of Security (59)
on Coding Horror (940) permalinkBruce Schneier is something of a legend in the computer security community. He's the author of the classic, oft-cited 1994 book Applied Cryptography, as well as several well-known cryptography algorithms. The cheeky Norris-esque design above is a reference to the actor names commonly used in examples of shared secret key exchange. What I find most interesting about Bruce, however, is that he has moved beyond treating computer security as a problem that can be solved ...Shared by Alan Dean (257) Alec Resnick (107) Andy (6) Anthony (170) Appu (29) Bill (85) Bojan (3) Bramha (17) Brandon (77) Carl (58) chrishawn (45) Drew (62) Filippo (21) Ian (17) Jack (41) Jacob W (106) jerobins (100) jezarnold (30) Kenneth LeFebvre (25) kev (21) kfc (111) lishevita (28) mathewbutler (41) Matt (23) Matt Blodgett (62) Michael (69) michael.twofish (37) Mike F (2180) MikeD (181) mndoci (242) Morton Fox (349) Nikki (305) Nikpay (13) Nuno (6) OGeleia (13) olive (21) Omnipresence@wired® (5) Pat (53) Peter (136) Phillie Casablanca (50) Raanan Avidor (37) Razzu (65) rene (102) Rich (20) Roy (35) Sai Ram Kunala (23) Scott (39) Sebastian (34) shivanand (35) Srinvard (280) Sumesh (243) Tim (214) TiTi (357) Todd (41) weloytty (1) Yuvi (252) Zahra HB (479) Zane Shelby (13) 狮子真好吃啊 (178)Contribute comment

What's The True Cost Of Power? [The Cost Of Power] (5)
on Jalopnik (458) permalinkThe term "horsepower" was coined by James Watt almost purely as a marketing scheme for his steam engine. Horsepower is actually based on another standard, but foot-pounds-per-minute doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. It's now the benchmark for power, though it isn't always indicative of a car's performance. Weight, torque and other factors play just as big a role. Nevertheless, a car's horsepower is still one of the first facts we want to know; it's ...Contribute comment

Revisiting the Black Sunday Hack (92)

OpenID: Does The World Really Need Yet Another Username and Password? (61)

- Carsten said: Sehr schönes Artikel über OpenID. Hab sogar was gelernt: Ich hab schon eine OpenID bei Yahoo.
- DaveP said: I've been using openId for a while as my credentials for several sites. I even went ahead and added my own site as a provider through an affiliated openId site. Works great. This is a good explanation of the good, bad and ugly.Try it, you'll like it.
- Avdi said: Jeff Atwood makes the case for OpenID
- Icefreez said: A little bit about OpenID for those who don't know. I personally do not like the idea. Why have multiple open ID providers just makes things to complicated for everyone that might potentially use this system.
- KC said: good overview of OpenID and some of the problems with it ...
- WindPower said: For those who still don't know...
- Engin said: you have to remember a relatively complete personal URL that no two OpenID providers define the same way. Which compares unfavorably to, say, remembering your email address.
- D. Lambert said: The thing I keep missing about OpenID is that it seems to have mechanisms in place to help users trust the provider(s) they choose, but I don't see where web sites can trust the providers that their users are using.I don't want a hacker to set up an OpenID provider on a zombie server somewhere, and then use logins from that provider to log on to my site and dump spam all over the place, let alone conduct financial transactions. How do I, as someone who'd like to allow OpenID logins on my site, verify that the providers are legitimate?
