Hmm, I use perks as a significant way to judge a company, but more isn't necessarily better. You must always ask what? why? Do the perks fit with the industry and intentions of the company? Are the perks well thought out and canceled w

That is how the legal system works, so do you seriously plan to arrest the NSA? But the topic here is about maintaining a secure system. You must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that every element is either secure or allowed to be owned by

Interesting to think about, but the publicly searchable web seems like the only meaningful number to me. Ok, there may be a whole bunch of social media in some language each accessible to small groups of facebook users. Does that help the a

Groups brokering exploits is definitely scary stuff. But the non-privatized government researchers have existed long before them and are better at keeping silent and therefore largely perpetual exploits. Under it all, the current model rema

I enjoy both javascript and scala. For work and anything I would want to put on a web site it is more practical to write javascript and when I've had time for my own projects I've enjoyed scala. For me this is a great direction. T

If you are able to get at the entire physical media then a certain combination of high and low bit writing is necessary or one can read some previous bits with specialized hardware. There is a DoD standard for writing enough combinations. B

Please forgive my total insensitivity.. 3%+ of total population sounds like enough people to pressure at least one video card vendor to offer equivalent remapping. So why is this a web design problem?

Yes, I'd say privacy is actually much more of a problem for the elite. How many investigations dig up infidelity, etc, in the normal population and then carefully step around it instead of enlarging the investigation? But I do think the pow

Greater Boston is mostly non-barrier cabs, but I don't recall the specifics for Boston proper vs Cambridge, etc. I was referring to the idea that the medallion in Boston is a safety feature rather than a monopoly piece.

Hmm, this article answers nothing for me since I would never run windows directly on hardware. What determines if my virtual machine is one "system" across host systems, visible "hardware" changes and/or windows license keys?
