This Week's Quote: "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." —John F. Kennedy
Hooray! It be posted here now. :3
Oh, I can give you both another super retarded example of IP being stupid:
In engineering we need to use computer software to design and simulate things. Some of them, like Code V (roman numeral '5', not a 'vee') cost per year per individual computer in licensing fees (according to my capstone professor), you ready for this?
$10,000.
Imagine you're a small business owner of an engineering firm; or god-forbid, a free lance engineer trying to get by. That's a HUGE additional cost. And yeah that's just that one program. There are others. MatLab for example tends to be just as bad from what I understand. Though with MatLab there is an open software equivalent called Octave (which according to their site only costs $50 to download). But yeah, seems yet another barrier to entry for the little guy who can't absorb the costs that their corporate competitors can, just like any other government monopoly.
It was fun being on the podcast.

How does someone get on the podcast?

Basically, I ask them and they say yes. If you're interested, we can talk.
On this weeks idiot extraordinaire, I think it's a bit harsh, because with every site requiring passwords be unique, have so many characters, have so many capitals or numbers or specials, the chances are that there is going to be a record of them somewhere - especially if they're randomly generated - I suspect it really wouldn't have made much of a difference that he had the master password "on" him. If he hadn't, the NSA (or whatever equivalent agency there was) would have shown up at his business/residence/car/iphone/super-secret-hidden file-that-the-only-person-who-can't-crack-it-is-your-Mother, and found his list of passwords.

Not if he was using LastPass.
I was including lastpass in "super-secret-hidden-file-that-the-only-person-who-can't-crack-it-is-your-Mother". Also, the agents would have figured out how to click on the little white asterisk--eventually. Also, many programs/services that are like lastpass provide a "law-enforcement back-door key" for just this situation-IIRC the only step up lastpass itself has is it actually requires a warrant for the daily key. (But once key is obtained, it's open season until next lock change)
There is no back door in LastPass. It's IMPOSSIBLE. The only thing LastPass has is a blob of pseudorandom noise. ALL of the decryption is done client-side. LastPass couldn't give it up, even with a warrant.
When you download it to a new device, and log in, it imports your passwords. (This is one of its primary functionalities... I want to say selling points, but it's free) That means your list of passwords has to be "somewhere" in the cloud, or on a server, or... Anyway, someplace that isn't just the old device.
