Passwords: Don't try to remember them. Use a service like passpack to generate and store random ones for every account. Two pass authenticate into it. Data: Back it up. Backup your backups. Stop fucking around. If you don't get hacked, your

Making everyone pay isn't a solution, it's a business plan. When I go out to a loud club I can still communicate and no one comes around telling me it's against the club rules to try to. The Olympics would be nothing without our ability to

Yes, but you don't fix it by shutting them all down and making people pay for something they could provide themselves. You make it free, 'cos it's the Olympics and people need to communicate freely. ps. wasn't my downvote, I think they're u

Whether or not that reddit post is correct in this situation, they are banning regular wifi and 3g hotspots created by personal cell phones. Which IMHO isn't really draconian but pretty dumb. The olympics should be about athletics, communic

However, I'm not advocating price controls. If what you're implying is that you believe in the ability of the free market to solve the problem, then first we would need free the wireless phone market.

This isn't about cryptography, this is about what data can be pulled out of bits transfered through your computer. There is no requisite that they be encrypted, they can be obfuscated, hidden, or just not recognizable as illegal to you. The

It's not about what kind of software they are considered, it's about code running on your system. In the RMS eyes, if code runs on your system, and you can't read/modify that code yourself, it's unethical.

The problem is thinking that there is a way. You can't. Data can easily be obfuscated. As long as bits are flowing through your machine from sources that you don't control, you could be middle man to anything.

...everyone knows child porn is bad. It's existence though, does not negate the usefulness of a system. Not that cryptosphere is going to be the open government revolution, but your comment is a useless vomit of emotional blather.

The first one with the 2-tone metal back is still the prettiest IMHO. And it seemed the sturdiest. A drop resulted in a dent, not a crack or finger shaving glass shards.

This is a pretty pedestrian non-technical article about javascript frameworks that have essentially zero market share. Don't get me wrong, they're both totally awesome and anyone interested should check them out. But the article itself is p

The importance and effectiveness of caffeine has a lot to do with your job and lifestyle. If you are a mostly sedentary computer worker, the lack of blood circulation from sitting all day is going to make you super tired and slow your brain

I think this is one of those problems where smart people think too hard. It has nothing to do with non engineers misunderstanding randomness or the human mind intrinsically superimposing structure. All it has to do with is being an algorith

The way we (obviously not all of us) think about culture is pretty fundamentally flawed IMHO. Copyright exists only to create incentive to produce more copyrighted works(aka culture) and not explicitly make anyone money. Culture can't, and

Vandalism is a bummer, but it's certainly not a reason to loose faith in wikipedia. "Staggering" loss of content is an enormous exaggeration, especially since the articles are versioned and the versions are easily comparable.

Talk pages. If you have a problem with an article bring it up on the talk page. I don't see how else you could expect a free, user-edited, online encyclopedia to function. For what it is, wikipedia is incredibly effective. If you don't care

The Olympics may be the single most overly commercialized event in human history. It is far and above more about brand exposure, corporate profit, and sex in the Olympic village than about athletics, sportsmanship or nations putting aside t

Yeah thats funny, I don't think they'd really recommend putting a meteor app into production. Auth is still in it's own branch https://github.com/meteor/meteor/tree/auth and meteor's version is "preview 0.3.8". Plus you can't yet do thing
