I would really like to see @Google let third parties use the Authenticator for their own users/accounts via an API.
The idea here is that you run a web service and want to give your users 2-factor authentication. You could send a request to Google and they give you a token and a QR code. Give the QR code to your user for use with the mobile Google Authenticator app and then they can generate 60-second codes. When the user signs in to your service they give you the code and you pass the code and your token to Google and they give back a 'pass' or 'fail' response. You use this to log them in or not. - Kevin Fox
I'm confused, I thought 2-factor auth was supported on all apps accounts now? - Steve and 3 other people
It's supported for all of Google's apps. This is a proposal for an API that lets any developer use it for authentication in their own applications. - Kevin Fox
How about OpenID delegated to Google? Shouldn't that trigger 2-factor if enabled? I know it's not exactly what you're asking, but... - Tinfoil 2.0
It probably would, but it's different than what I'm asking. You might regularly be logged in to Google Apps, but using that state as a credential for, say, a banking service isn't as secure as a different 2-factor authentication that doesn't have an option to leave you signed in for 30 days (as Google's implementation does). - Kevin Fox

Our Whitey Herzog loves to sleep in glass bowls. But I don't think he'd go in somewhere he couldn't get out of again. So IF this is a real cat, he can probably get himself out of there. He's half turned around already! - Auntie Buttinsky Botts

Robert Heinlein was the first time I REALLY got into science fiction. Sure I had read the Star Wars books, but with Heinlein, the possibilities of the genre opened up to me and really sparked my imagination.
Victor Ganata
Two minor possible plot holes from LotR that I find amusing to ponder: (1) How did Gandalf get his sword Glamdring back after he fell into the abyss of Moria and died? (2) If Durin founded Moria before Morgoth was overthrown, how did a Balrog fleeing the destruction of Thangorodrim end up underneath Moria without anyone noticing?
1) Magic. 2) He snuck in while they were sleeping? - <3Heather<3
1) He fought the Balrog all the way to the top of the Endless Stair, presumably using his sword, so he would have had it on the peak. - Alex Scrivener
Just off the top of my head: (1) The fall didn't kill him. He died fighting the Balrog at Zirak-Zigal. At that location, the sword would have been retrievable. (2) The world went through a great transformation when the straight road to the West was removed. - Akiva
The answer to (2) is in either the Silmarillion or one of the other unpublished tales, I don't recall which. - I like big Botts
(1) the answer is "Accio, sword!" - I like big Botts
OK, so maybe Gwaihir made a second trip to pick up the sword after he dropped Gandalf off in Lorien to get some clothes. But Moria was supposedly founded early in the First Age before the seas were made bent and Beleriand was destroyed, so I still think it's weird the Balrog decided to take a nap under thousands of feet of rock after fleeing the War of Wrath when the dwarves were already there - Victor Ganata
But remember, the dwarves 'dug too deep' and unleashed the Balrog. It was just in hiding beneath the Misty Mountains; it wasn't purposefully hanging out underneath Moria. In other words, the dwarves brought Moria to it. - Akiva
Gesundheit! ;P - Anika
So maybe the Balrog fled Thangorodrim while underground? I guess I could buy that. It was probably the only way to avoid being destroyed by the Valar, I suppose. - Victor Ganata
Yep, the Balrog went very, very deep. It took a long time for the dwarves to expand Moria enough to reach his little stony hide-out. - Akiva
No one laughed at my Harry Potter joke. - I like big Botts
I said, "Accio, sword!" because that's a spell from Harry Potter. - I like big Botts
It's like I confused Harry Potter with LoTR. - I like big Botts
I see what you did there, Glen. - Jenthemum
LOL, Glen, I guess that would go along well with the Yoda/Gandalf/Dumbledore mashup http://friendfeed.com/ajbatac... - Victor Ganata

I want these, and thought Penguin might like 'em too
YES. They kept showing up in my shopping cart whenever I went to the site, but I'd never put them there. I thought it might be a sign, but haven't splurged on them yet. Get them! - Penguin
If you can wear them over ballet slippers you can wear them over Derby skates! - SteVe C
I'm hemming and hawing about it. Have no real need for them right now, and I'll be honest: the odds are good they won't properly around my thighs. Stupid mondo can-crushing derby thighs! =D - FFing Enigma
Hehe, most thigh-high legwarmers fit my thighs like sausage casings. Those *would* be super awesome over skates. :D - Penguin
I've kinda debated about trying the tights ice skaters use that go over the skates. They'd last one game at best (hits = falls = instant holes in tights) but I think they'd look awesome! - FFing Enigma
Jenthemum
So THAT's how you wear them. I guess I've been doing it wrong all these years...

Young Zaphod Plays It Safe? I've never heard of that one. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

i got mine when it was new in the mid-80s. i forget which defunct bookseller chain it came out of. - Joe The Sausage
Possibly Waldenbooks? I got a leather and gold embossed version of that exact same cover at Waldenbooks when I worked there in the early 90's... - Webgoddess Needs A Drink
The fifth part is Mostly harmless. Why have they replaced it? - Tapio Kulmala
@Tapio: they haven't. this was published BEFORE "Mostly Harmless" was even written. - Joe The Sausage

I can't call him a moron because he has an amazing rhetorical skill... that he uses for evil. - Kevin Fox
I like to watch him sometimes, yes. - Josh Haley
There's a world of difference between liking to watch his show and agreeing with what he says! - Gabe

ROFL, I like how it lazily tries to swat the dog while riding the Roomba - Scoble, Alex Scoble
and cleans it's paw between swats, you know because the first swat contaminated it's paw with dog germs!! - Rachel Lea Fox
LOL, yeah, Rachel! Really cute cat and dog. :) - Scoble, Alex Scoble
This confirms my suspicion that the Roomba's sophisticated cleaning pattern is actually just a feline telepathic guidance interface. - Kevin Fox

I wonder if it would be possible to figure this out more efficiently using the FriendFeed API or something? - Rah-PM 2012
Well, http://www.ffholic.com sorta does that, Rahsheen. For example, it says you're the ~350th or so most active user, and I'm the ~2000th, so one could sort of extrapolate from those sorts of stats. - Ken Sheppardson
Still visit every day. - Patrick Jordan
206? That's it? I mean, I understand we're likely not going to get many non-English respondents, but 206? - Ken Sheppardson
Ken, you'll recall that not everyone with hands participated in Hands Across America. - Micah
Ken that's about 26% of those who are subscribed to you. What would be interesting to do is go to each of their accounts and see how many of your 785 subscribers are actually active, i.e. have they made a native posting here recently, have they commented on anyone's post recently. I'll bet you that a significant number of those who are following you are not actually active users. - Jeff P. Henderson
I don't think this method is very scientific, Ken! As you said above, you're the 2000th as far as activity. If you got a more active user, and/or one with lots of followers to post this same question, you would get different numbers. Also, the way you phrased this originally, you didn't ask people to share it, bump it, etc. - Laura Norvig
You all have made great points about what's wrong with the method, and I'll probably do a little write-up that addresses them and does some analysis of the results... but meanwhile... 209? Come on, if you see this, consider yourself an active FF user, but haven't liked or commented... why not? - Ken Sheppardson
I don't know if this was already mentioned, but remember that there are lots of non-English-speaking FFers not covered by this survey. There are also probably some people who just aren't in our circle. - Kamilah Reed (K. Gill) from fftogo
FriendFeed isn't a monolithic block of users. I think I only subscribe to one user that has commented on this thread. - Nick Lothian
