I think this one is easy. We take the RSS icon and use it for sharing instead. Such a waste to have such a good icon only be used for such a specific data stream.
Something that took me a long time to notice was that you can actually copy files directly over a RDP session from/to the local machine or other RDP sessions using the clipboard.. Even nested RDPs. Has been an absolute timesaver to know about when doing Windows admin work.
I think it depends on how you mount your clipboard/drives on rdp connect. To get it right with windows you just check the share clipboard/share drive checkboxes and off to the races. With rdesktop you have to throw the -r flag and mount a clip board and then the -r flag and mount a drive. Not sure about other Linux clients but I'm sure there's a similar option in all of them.
A one-time pad as a consumer encryption has yet to be realized though, even though the programming effort needed to create a system like this is low. It's even easier to use such a system in todays world of 64 GB USB drives. (64 GB could be used as a key for almost a life-time of text correspondance.)
What the public would benefit from is a system that works as follows:
- Program has a create key mode. Lets you specify key size, or use the rest of the capacity (eg. a full thumb stick).
- Creates two of these files (one for each participant).
- Has a simple interface for encrypting/decrypting content
based on the key file.
- Each message is prefixed with the offset of the file
- Party 1 starts at the beginning of the file. Party 2 at the end of the file. In order to avoid resending data using the same offset. When they get close to overlapping in the middle, they create a new key.
There is an app on the AppStore that claims to do something similar using only built-in phone hardware (accelerometer). Anybody got any experience with it? Seems like some reviewers claims that the readings are bogus. Is the accelerometer on the iPhone sensitive enough to register movements as claimed by the app? http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sleep-cycle-alarm-clock/id320...
I use Sleep Cycle when I absolutely need to be up at a certain time. I also like the no-alarm mode just for tracking sleep. When you first run it, they have a calibration mode where it makes a noise when it detects motion, so you can roll around in bed and listen for where you need to place it.
It probably depends on your mattress how well it works. If you've got a foam mattress or one of those ones with commercials of dropping bowling balls next wine glass towers, then yeah, maybe your phone won't pick it up. But it seems to work well enough with my cheap mattress.
In the morning, I can definitely see spikes on the graph for times I know I woke up to pee, so it's definitely detecting something. I don't know about those reviews that say they still get graphs with it left on the dresser; I've not tried that test.
I tried that out too, but it didn't seem to make it any easier for me to wake up (still felt sleepy/groggy). I decided to buy the Zeo since they had it at my local best-buy and I could easily return it. I honestly didn't expect it to work any better.
