"Endless" literally means without an end. Servers are a very explicit end.

Facebook knowing a lot about you is a problem. It is just an entirely separate problem that is only superficially similar to the problem of the government knowing a lot about you.

More than 20 years later they are still together and married with 2 kids. And she isn't hollywood arm-candy - the vapid kind that gets replaced on regular basis with a newer model. So whatever ickiness there was at the start it would

I still know you sent an email at time X to person P2. We need a giant public "mailstore" where everybody (or at least a large pool of people) put the encrypted messages with encrypted recipient information. Everybody who uses

I could swear I read an article a couple of years ago about a wall street bank losing an obstruction charge specifically because of an email retention policy just like you described. Bigger picture, we all know that the reason companies imp

Also technically he was authorized to use wget - he had permissions to download it from wherever or to install the package and had permissions to set the executive bit to true. Do we know this to be true? Was Manning himself even respons

Just so no one else gets the wrong impression - solar screens don't ruin the view, unless your nose is right up against them, they look like window tinting. Also it isn't just about saving money but also increasing comfort for th

I have a south-facing apartment with about 110-square feet of window glass. It heats up like a sonofa in the morning. You should consider solar screens. They cost about the same as regular window screens and are remarkably effective at k

Yeah, it is about the emotional reaction that causes self-inflicted wounds far greater than the original attack. Which is why I'm talking about finding arguments that are also emotionally compelling.

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

Sorry, I've found that arguments based on actual real problems don't resonate. Pointing out that bees kill more people each year in the US than terrorists, that the average american has 150x more chance of being killed by lightn

I don't know if the OP update his posting but both URLs work just fine for me.

It isn't just a new URL, there is some javascript and cross-site scripting or something. The old mailinator was dead simple - no javascript, no cross-site includes, it just worked with all my security add-on settings like NoScript and

Didn't Weev have a legitimate AT&T account? Isn't that how he discovered the vulnerability in the first place? Seems to me that would make him part of the "AT&T community" to whom the site was open to. But igno

Can you share? I could really use that.

If that's what's going on, then it is pure CYA. There is no practical difference between a contractor and a direct employee. Yes it seems like security clearance vetting has been outsourced (for contractors only?) in recent year

I don't know what to say to that - you provided a very vivid and emotionally-laden photo as what the "other side" was using to justify their position and now you say that the other side is not using vividness and emotion to m

FWIW - firefox has supported multiple profiles for years, long before Chrome even existed. Run it with the following command-line arguments: -ProfileManager -new-instance That brings up a profile picker/creater. Each profile is isolat

The problem with persona is that it sends the same identifier to all websites (nominally your email address). That makes it super-easy for those websites to feed your activity to a central tracker like DoubleClick which will consolidate al

it shouldn't be too big of a surprise since the US administration has been very clear about Snowden and their intentions from the very beginning. Obama said that he was, “not going to be scrambling jets to get a 29-year-old hacker” d

You are entirely correct. We need visceral examples. Even if they don't affect regular people directly they need to be the kind of thing that people instinctively recoil from. Emotion and vividness trump logical reasoning when it co

What I took away from the blogpost was that when you have a well-defined deployment plan, part of that should include a way to handle exceptions. In this case, he clearly was very enthusiastic about buying a Leaf. That's the kind of c

Coordination between voters is unnecessary. The job of the 3rd parties is to communicate their issues - that plus vote tallies is enough to make it pretty clear what issues the duopoly need to incorporate into their platforms.

If Chrome was concerned about your sense of security it would inform you that all your saved passwords are clearly readable in plaintext I completely agree with that, I think that would be a much more useful fix.

It is far more likely I am using your machine with you, and then you walk out for 20 seconds to get a glass of water. You are presuming a specific environment and an attack specific to that environment. At first glance, it may look like a

No. 100x no. That is how to waste your vote. Voting for the "lesser evil" is only a good idea when the "greater evil" is so great that they will destroy the country. That has never been the case. Voting for the &quo

What I took away from the article was that the patent didn't really help the "inventor." That sales didn't really start to take off until very near the end of his royalty period. But yet he was still very successful in

I agree. What Tor needs is basically the same thing that encrypted email needs - a wide-spread and dead-simple user interface. If Mozilla were to incorporate a "Tor Browsing Mode" analogous to "Private Browsing Mode" th
