The "condensing community" description is an interesting one, Hayes. I think that's a significant factor. Add to it the fluidity with which you can become an acquaintance, then a familiar, then an integral part of a group. With persistence and patience, some amazing things are facilitated here.

MVB exactly. Robert: sorry right now I don't want to solve the forum problem. I'm emailing my friends cool links to old MC5 vids instead of posting those links. And I'm thinking about that.

Thing is Robert, my group sizes here have been stable from before the buyout and since - and rewarding/high quality. It didn't get un-focused during the highest absolute visitor count era, and it's not too narrow now. In other words, between the built-in tools of FF + how I used the site, I've maintained what for me is an optimal set of connections. I can only speak for my experience, but there you go.

Resubscribing to a bunch of people I unsubscribed from a few months ago. Also think that the delete post button is there for a reason. If I'm not using it then I'm not fully using the system.
Interesting that there will be a Kindle desktop app but (so far) no web based reader. Seems like the DRM issues would be similiar. If someone is going to screen cap a whole book they'll find a way on the desktop.
I guess my question is really about the changing landscape of data security and control. What organizations out there are comfortable with their email and documents living "out of house"? Obviously the City of Los Angeles. I understand both points of view.

The City of Los Angeles represents an interesting move for Google. LA's data will be stored in the "GovCloud" which, as reported by InfoWorld ( http://www.infoworld.com/d... ) would be 'encrypted and "physically and logically segregated" from Google's standard applications. The data would be stored only in the U.S. and only...

Browser support for json cryptography could make the point moot. Data would only ever live in cleartext in a browser or client. Heck you could practically get rid of ssl at that point. And it's a lot easier than supporting private clouds. Thanks for the LA info.

It's hard to build a search index on encrypted data.

Looks like this isn't a continuous results thing. They posted tonight at 8:15 and then daily updates at 4:30 pm. It's all mail in so today's results are "Mail ballots counted on election day". More here http://www.kingcounty.gov/electio...

The more secure a password is the more likely it is to be written down and become less secure.
...and frickin Adobe just snuck in McAfee virus scan on me in the flash update. I'm sure there was a checkbox but yuck. Is this really how you want to roll Adobe?

I am waiting for the pictures that you promised yesterday. :)

Yes, but the landing craft with all its awesome photo ops left hours before i thought it was leaving. I was not on it and had to drive slow in our 22 foot boat across the wonderous rosario strait instead. Got some pix to post when i get back. I heart humans.
