Movies, Special Effects, and Lord of the Rings One of my heroes, Denis Dutton of Arts & Letters Daily fame, is disparaging the filmed work of another, J. R. R. Tolkien (its not clear how he feels about the book version). I totally agree with everything Dutton says in general about special effects, just not including Lord of the Rings in the generalization; in fact, I believe it is just the opposite! 12:20:46 PM    comment []

Why do sites even offer un-encrypted logins? Is there a reason other than performance? What a big, fat, gaping security hole. If there HAS to be some reason (some compatibility consideration) for un-encrypted login, it should NOT be the default! 10:53:37 AM    comment []
