Of course the proper translation for "accès sans fil" is "wireless access" , but the author points out that it is translated "literally" , and indeed "sans fil" literally means "without wi

Not available from every country (at the time of writing this). I feel so left out. EDIT: I was wrong, just that it is not available in Safari. Works with Chrome.

I was thinking this guy got them all, but as I just realized, here is something he did not mention: Amsterdam is flat . FLAT . This is not a surprise, the whole country is flat anyway. However, this makes such a big difference! In a city

Despite "message de validation" being the commonly accepted translation for "commit message" , normally you should use "modification " to mean "commit" . Many French git users still say "co

As a native French speaker: very good translation. One small point: I do not understand why you added "it" to the last sentence of the introduction. Your translation of that particular sentence feels weird to me, why not simply:

Huge caveat: "less +F" does not work with multiple files. Yes, this is mentioned in the post, but I feel it is so big it would have deserved large, bold letters.

As the article points out, this is not a new technique. Increasing your resolving power by immersion of the target object in a liquid medium is actually used in ICs manufacturing. This is because resolving power is directly proportional to

The malware uses basic router exploits and/or guesses default credentials to get into the routers. From there DNS hijacking is easy as pie, as long as the target does not do DNSSEC. This is not technically attacking websites, only conn

Seconded. There is no fact to support this analysis other than the author's personal opinion — though I may still agree with him, he should provide data to support his affirmation.

There is not a single word in the article about any scientific research supporting these methods. Of course you can say "look, the airport is safe, it must be working" , but this is no proof. Moreover, these "security scree

The title is missing the word "shield" at the end — as in "if it joins NATO shield" . Denmark is one of the founding members of NATO.
