This Week's Quote: "I now say that the world has the technology—either available or well advanced in the research pipeline—to feed on a sustainable basis a population of 10 billion people. The more pertinent question today is whether farmers and ranchers will be permitted to use this new technology? While the affluent nations can certainly afford to adopt ultra low-risk positions, and pay more for food produced by the so-called 'organic' methods, the one billion chronically undernourished people of the low income, food-deficit nations cannot." —Norman Borlaug

Oh BTW the LastPass random password generator is client-sided right?

[evensgrey]

I suppose this means Blizzard Entertainment is a leader in security, since they've offered and recommended two-factor authentication for years with the Blizzard Authenticator.  (I've seen them, they're cosmetically changed RSA keys, so you know they're using sound and widely accepted and used technology.)

Oh BTW the LastPass random password generator is client-sided right?

Yes, all of the encryption and decryption is done client-side. Your data NEVER goes over the wire unencrypted. Moreover, LastPass has neither your password nor your encryption keys.

Yeah, Scotland's going full hippie on everyone...
