I think this is of endgame for network security, I don't see a way out -- the Sony Rootkit[1] should have been the point where I realized but it is just sinking in for me now since the Snowden NSA leak. Any network connected computer w

I doubt anyone would disagree that triple negatives aren't easy to parse.

Yes, these criminal masterminds found a way to swindle honest hard-working themselves out of 440 million dollars and "get away with" a cool extra -12 million.

I haven't been following cracking development, is anyone aware of a back of the envelope analysis of how much using a preconceived mnemonic reduces entropy versus random letters? I would expect the math has been done, I think all you n

Hilarious quote of Marco Arment from 4 years ago: When a similar idea circulated back in 2009, Tumblr’s then–lead developer, Marco Arment, summed up the party line in a scornful blog post: “I hope they let me work on some of the many excit

For the passage in the wikipedia diagram, both of the two paths after the first bifurcation (moving westward) pass through channels less than 24 nautical miles wide. Canada would need to build observation towers but it could be defended wit

I've got no direct knowledge of this in particular but I've heard that the mouse movement is one of the highest level interrupts in the OS and won't be preempted -- so the number is probably very small but the response by the

If their boat is more of a skiff, a couple paddles and a milk jug cut in half for bailing might be sufficient. In terms of winter storms, this is approximately as bad as it gets: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Juan

Carrying a burner is itself also suspicious -- the safest course it to be as normal as possible which means having a regular computer/phone with some stuff on it, or nothing. Also, it isn't sufficient to focus the the border polic

I believe one of the tests is crashing into a wall that yields very little, so the tungsten dumptruck would fare poorly, exciting as it would be to drive. EDIT: this one: http://youtu.be/V5R80yUUVNk

It depends what you care about more, the emails or the privacy. The privacy is now ensured, and it isn't like they've erased the emails from the users' minds, only the records of the email.

For "finding datacenters", traceroute is useful. You can just pick some websites and see where they host. For example, is seems that pinboard.in is hosted at http://he.net/colocation.html , Fremont 2, or at least

As a matter of general principle, I strenuously object to any computer I own sending out information about my behavior without my intent or permission. The only egregious offence of the read receipt is that I don't control it.

The only reason Mike Gravel had a copy of the Pentagon Papers is because Ellsberg sought him out, so Gravel wasn't himself the "leak", and Gravel knew that the NYT and others already had a copy (they were publishing parts).

Yup. For command line work I usually don't mind but for text editing I find any perceptible latency incredibly grating. SSHFS is another solution that doesn't need anything special installed on the remote end. It's a pity Plan9 didn't take

I'm not a grandmaster by any means, but these are things that I focus on: 1. Aggressively avoid techniques and abstractions that have produced bugs in the past. The "backwards conditional" is an example of this, in languages like C that wil
