	`\_`	And if you can simulate that in software, why not just single- stepping the simulated CPU and get the key out?

	`\_`	He worked at 3 successfule pre-IPO statups. Does anyone know how much his net worth is roughly?
		`\_`	I am pretty sure that 90% of his net worth comes from Goog, so you can pretty safely discount the rest.
		`\_`	why does it matter to know? would it help you in any way?
			`\_`	No. I just want to see how much better other people do than I. -- PP

3/8	I have a mod_rewrite question that I think should be straight- forward but I think I'm not getting something. I have a virtual server with some root, say /home/user/public_html/ and in there I have two subdirs, say /app1/ and /app2/ and i want the following: mysite/app1 --> /home/user/public_html/app1 mysite/(.*) --> /home/user/public_html/app2/$1 so for ex, mysite/app2 --> /home/user/public_html/app2/app2 So anything that's not "app1" would map into the app2 subdir ... but I guess this causes an infinite loop in the processing? Since it just keeps prefixing /app2/ onto the path until it crashes? any advice? thx -
	`\_`	IIRC it matches in order. However, the way you have it, it looks like mysite/app1/ or mysite/app1/(.) might not be matched by your first rule. Perhaps "mysite/app1(/.)?" or something may work better (untested though, but you should get the idea)
		`\_`	ok sure you're right. But my main question is how to get the 2nd rule to work w/out generating an infinite loop. ie, mysite should go to home/user/public_html/app2/ mysite/foo should go to home/user/public_html/app2/foo mysite/app2 should go to home/user/public_html/app2/app2 etc, but w/out infinite loop. possible? thx
			`\_`	Oh, I see. You probably want mysite/app2 -> /home/user/public_html/app2/ as a separate rule, or perhaps... mysite/([^/])(/.?) -> /home/user/public_html/app2/$1$2 ...maybe? I don't know why it would be rewriting it to a path on your filesystem...it's been a while, but I thought it rewrote URLs, not filesystem paths. I'm just guessing...

3/5	A while back, I mentioned the possibility of hyperinflation in the US Looks like I'm not the crazy one: www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1969231,00.html
	`\_`	Stands to reason it will happen. We want a weak dollar to pay back debt with devalued dollars and we printed a lot of them. I invested a lot in TIPS.
	`\_`	Yawn. Right now the problem is deflation, not inflation. That article says that taxes are going to go up instead, and I tend to agree.
		`\_`	Taxes will probably rise, but inflation is inevitable given how many dollars we printed and scarcity of natural resources. I would (and did) bet heavily against deflation.
			`\_`	How do you explain Japan's two decade long experience with deflation then? They printed lots of money, have ran massive budget deficits, have a scarcity of natural resources and have not been able to shake the deflation bug.
		`\_`	"As Washington ponders its taxation options, it might also wish to cast its gaze toward the NYSE and Nasdaq, whose companies add very little to the public till." Only if you completely ignore the payroll taxes and sales taxes these companies pay and the taxes their employees pay out of their salaries.
