Well done! Both for the app and seeing the fight through. All of us would be lucky to have people as dedicated as you and your team in our cities.

Airships, particularly rigid airships (Zeppelins), are massive and it's the mass that becomes a problem. The airship is inflated to a state of neutral buoyancy so it floats and can hang in the sky (cool!) but the mass has to be dealt

He does work in corp sec trying to stop spearphishers who target food processors. I think the point is to educate other IT staff while trying convince MS to provide more security controls for OLE. Glad to see doc on the ShowOLEPackageObj r

The author is obviously smart and dedicated - and I’d probably be forced to terminate him. He is an non-supervisory employee, who has not been given administrative access to these computers. He created and deployed a program to other compu

The purchase page says that it for non-commercial use; no link to a commercial version. Looks like it is still free in the App Store FWIW.

So... Ad researchers have rebranded Gen Y?? That's kind of funny. (Also shows how much attention I was paying. I thought there were Boomers, X's, Y's, and Millenials)

The other important points influencing the decision were the amount of time spent examining the hard drive and extensive detail of the search. "...that wherever the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeals eventually draws the precise bou

No downvote from me however... If you want email and privacy, you need to encrypt. Email is as secure like a postcard; at least that is what we use tell the people that wanted to append long email disclaimers.

I think it is hard to say how this will play out. Maybe the author is right and people will care less about their domain name, or it could be become one of several presence items that companies use to reach customers. For instance, the US

An interesting article for both the application of tools ans people to solve a problem and the pictures. I had to go through the article twice because the first time I stopped reading and just enjoyed the photos.

Following Schneier's link to Gigaom it's pretty hard to get the choice to opt out - even if one already knows it exists.

Also of note for those new to Pope Hat, Ken White is a former Federal Prosecutor. His perspective from both sides of federal law makes for some interesting posts.

Having no background in plants or genetics - In my experience most systems are a series of tradeoffs. Even though C4 has evolved over 70 times, are there advantages conveyed by C3 or is C3 just easier to evolve?

From her tweets and other posts it sounds like she was broke with no place live. A difficult situation even before getting into legal trouble.

So is the breakthrough just the pre-cooler, or the pre-cooler together with the scimitar engine? It sounds like the innovation is the helium pre-cooler, but even at that it's hard for me to understand whether their advancements are in

A very interesting article. For me two key statements come toward the end. "Did you know that at high altitude, the brain goes through metabolic changes, and some people can adapt while others can't, based on their DNA?"[Rens

Cool idea. If each PGP character is mapped to one (or more each) noun, verb, adjective, and adverb one could construct a message that looked like boring text but was actually encrypted.

Too late, the telemarketers already (effectively) doing this. VoIP# -> unpublished home line (+ Mobile) Home line 'protected' from autodialers by old fax machine, 4 rings then silence. Only political calls seem undeterred.

I thought the Tolkien family was famously aggressive about enforcing JRR's copyrights. I am surprised that Palantir Technologies hasn't received a C&D from the Estate; though perhaps the copyrights don't extend that far?
