do you really believe those things were created in or by silicon valley? Even beyond their public pasts, their early private champions like Bell Labs, BBN and IBM weren't from california nor private equity backed.

I really don't know of anything comprehensive. Cypherpunks was actually a mailing list, and I believe you can download full archives of it. One of the big part's he's referring to is Phil Zimmerman creating PGP, and I'd bet you can find som

Water vapor in these bands is a strong absorber limiting distance in earth's atmosphere to ~10 meters or less. Subtract a good deal for omnidirectional emissions and decent snr.

If you're a foreign national on foreign soil with data in us data centers held by us companies I don't believe it's common practice for these companies to require a warrant, fisa or otherwise, to share information with national services. Co

The reason nobody shared their one true checklist for security is that it doesn't exist. Well secured systems get owned every day, and tons of bad ones never have trouble due to luck and lack of incentive. Most extensive security procedures

This guy should not go around publicly dissecting fake routes if he does such a shit job of it. Why would you write a blog post about a route without even looking at it from a second location? It's hysterical that he brags about his skills

You sound like you've thought a lot about the issue, so i'm curious what impact you think the WIPO Copyright Treaty will have. Since anti-circumvention is required by a treaty that we ratified, doesn't that make trying to totally repeal it

I think you're accepting B without giving it enough thought. Very few wireless carrier issues are legislated by congress - that falls on the regulator, the FCC. If you want to let customers switch carriers that's who will make it happen. If

You'd be surprised at how little most startup focused journalists know about the day to day of the industry. If it hasn't been touted in a press release or mentioned at an investors conference they probably don't know about it.

Did I read that correctly, there is no plan to build GTK+ bindings - they are going to qt based dekstop applications? Or do they expect gnome to port to mir? Unless they already worked that out it doesn't seem too likely as this amounts to

One good test is if they have a decent track record on pushing CVE fixes. Apple tends to hold theirs to about once a quarter unless something is in very common use. They intentionally hold them back so that people don't have to click update

A big part of what's pushing the mini use in the datacenter is that pretty much everybody will give you a cheaper colo deal with less restrictions than a 1u. Because the mini lacks stuff like raid, multiple nics, ipmi etc. the typical custo

pretty much air gapped networks, build yourself a computer with a MIPS CPU, or just buy a laptop every monday and throw it away on friday. Chrome OS is probably the only commercial platform that is designed with this era of threats in mind.

Having read through the entire thread instead of just the expletives, in my opinion it's a rare case of Linux and Greg being totally wrongheaded on the issue. The problem crops up because redhat submitted a pull request to enhance the exist
