perfect forward secrecy
i'm proud to say our Portal uses it, yet the biggest banks don't
well - that was nice.  delta changed my first outbound flight on monday to another flight a few hours earlier, and didn't send me email
I was just reviewing my departure times and found the change. :(
now that's customer service
up_the_irons keep up the good work
robonerd: tnx :)
RandalSchwartz: ouch
well - I'm pretty good about reviewing travel, especially international, in an overly obsessive way
especially when this is two flights to the UK, followed by two full-day tours, followed by a 10-day cruise
lots at risk
I use TripIt, Kayak, *and* Tripcase to monitor my flights for changes
but since the flight number itself changed, they were useless
and delta doesn't allow tripit to go directly to their site anymore. :(
used to be that tripit would pull that out
so you plan your trips to the day?
seems like a tight itinerary
lame
i like flightaware for tracking arrival/departure stuff for travel
only useful the day of travel though, since it tracks based on flight plans w/faa and things
19:27 < GeekOnCoffee> oh no, altavista is shutting down :(
19:37 < randompherret> now you will have to go straight to yahoo for your bing results.
awesome
i had no idea altavista was still up
their translation engine was awesome "back in the day"
the search was certainly a step up from webcrawler
but... lycos was in Perl!
I never really used lycos
i didn't either
i used excite and altavista
webcrawler -> Altavista -> Google, pretty much. bit of metacrawler in there for a bit.
i use duckduckgo
lots of goodies
https://duckduckgo.com/goodies
what's altavist?
or excite
altavista
nvm ill just google it
heh
my buddy was a senior guy at altavista, and when the stock tanked at the end of the dotcom boom, he lost a few million dollars, and committed suicide
wow
yeah it was pretty devastating... I had just had dinner with him a few weeks earlier
sadly - I don't have brain cells left that remember his name. :(
holy fuck
what a heart breaking situation
i'm guessing: was he on the hook to pay taxes for equity he no longer had?
