Short answer is no, it isn't.

This is exactly what is needed, and what the current "OAuth doesn't solve Phishing!" response misses.
Reply | Original | Permalink | Share | TweetIt's great to see a company's API lead engaging in a discussion like this. I feel like he's missing the point of the critics, though. OAuth may not solve the phishing problem, but it has demonstrable advantages over handing out your passwords:
- finer grained levels of access
- ability to block one app without blocking the others
- ability for Twitter to block an app entirely, across the userbase, if it misbehaves

Demon-Haunted World is about skepticism, and how to use science and rational inquiry to avoid scams, pseudoscience, hoaxes, and possibly religion. It is not a strictly atheist book, although you could read it as one if you tilt your head properly.
But how can you not know anything else about Carl Sagan?
He wrote many books popularizing science, including Contact, The Dragons of Eden, Broca's Brain, and Cosmos. He also co-wrote and hosted the series Cosmos on PBS, which is the most-watched PBS show in history, and well worth watching on DVD.
He was founder and first President of The Planetary Society (http://www.planetary.org/). He was an avid supporter of SETI. He assembled the gold plaque that went into space on Pioneer 10, and the golden records that went out on the Voyager probes.
As an astronomer, he made several important hypotheses about the structure of other planets, particularly Venus, and drew connections between Venus and Earth-based global warming and greenhouse emissions.
He was active in investigating UFO claims, including serving on the Ad Hoc Committee that reviewed the Air Force's Project Blue Book. He was convinced of the probability of extra-terrestrial intelligence, but equally convinced that we had not encountered it yet.
Most importantly, he brought us the phrase "billions and billions", even though he never said it himself until long after it was a joke.
Here's a collection of quotations: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Carl_Sagan
And one for the road: "If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe."

Reply | Original | Permalink | Share | TweetAgreed on the password manager. I've got 1Password in Safari, and the "Generate Password" option is so easily available it becomes second nature.
Reply | Original | Permalink | Share | TweetThe beauty of this is that end-users have no extra install path. They download an app, and use it. For the developer, it's a matter of taking the same skills that make rich web apps, and make them run client side.

Reply | Original | Permalink | Share | TweetScrum doesn't have any engineering practices attached, it's purely a management process. BDD/TTD, pairing, etc., all go nicely with Scrum, but are not required.

Reply | Original | Permalink | Share | TweetIvan, I assume you saw @tensigma's invitation on Twitter to play poker if you're ever in Atlanta, but I'll mention it here, too. He's not any good, though, so go easy on him.
