I'm just using BCAA as an example these days most of the business emails I get have third-party domain links - especially for the link I most want to click, the unsubscribe link.

How do I know that this isn't a fishing email trying to get me to install malware hosted at ? I have to do some research before I can be somewhat sure that the links are safe. Notice anything fishy? All the links in the email - one for the survey and another to unsubscribe - (and even the sendingĮmail address) have a domain name of, not as I would expect for an email coming from BCAA.

These devices don't magnify, they simply point - and are not just very easy to use, they are quite accurate. The telescope linked above has an "EZ Finder". Many beginner telescopes are sold with really poor quality finder scopes, which are beyond difficult to use. Telescopes have tunnel vision, so you need some help. This is a far better design than a spindly tripod.Īnother important factor is you need a good aiming device. If you can't point the telescope at an object, you can't see it. The mount is a very stable design, being a simple up/down, left/right affair. This has a 6" diameter mirror, which means the telescope is actually quite capable. Orion SkyQuest XT6 Classic Dobsonian Telescope | Orion Telescopes Here is an example of a good beginner telescope: This means a "Dobsonian" style instrument. That doesn't mean it won't be a very capable telescope you just need to put your money into decent optics and a good solid mounting. If you want a good telescope in that price range, it's going to be no-frills. High magnification in a small aperture instrument is an attempt to violate the laws of physics. Don't buy anything that lists some huge magnification (800X !!!). Don't buy a telescope from anything but a specialty shop. In the "few hundred dollar" range, telescopes vary from utter crap to quite decent. This is from Douglas George, Ottawa-based expert amateur astronomer and comet hunter, who was responding to a question from another friend of mine: For people looking to get into astronomy, here is some great advice for buying a beginner telescope. My post Open Kimono Security presented one way to address this chicken-and-egg situation, but we might need something a bit more mainstream.Īstronomy is an amazing hobby that can take you as far as you want to go, in all sorts of observing and scientific directions.
CRASHPLAN BOXCRYPTOR PASSWORD
If users aren't forced to use secure-enough passwords, and given that they don't understand the need for unique passwords across all their services, why would they go to the trouble (they imagine) of using a password manager? (That "trouble", by the way, is well worth it.)Īs someone fascinated by security architecture - and especially by how much better it could be - this is the kind of problem I love to ponder.If service providers don't require secure-enough passwords, why would users use them? You can easily imagine the usability (and security issues) that such passwords would create for users that don't use a password manager.Since the vast majority of users don't use password managers, a service provider that required secure-enough passwords would likely be out of business in short order.

Now, a tougher question: can you blame service providers that allow passwords that are shorter than, say, 12 characters and not complex and random? Anything less than that, as a bare minimum, is probably not secure enough against offline attacks. Microsoft disallows such passwords but the vast majority of service providers don't. You can blame service providers that allow stupidly insecure passwords like "123456", "password", the name of the service, etc.
