As a script, "start the service" is extremely readable and simple on the surface. Exactly what I'd need to do to be able to put a #! on the line before is slightly more complex and you won't be able to reason about it yo

I look forward to teaching my child that we use this system and using its peculiarities to spawn discussions on number theory, astronomy, history, even art. Among other things.

We didn't give up. We found one and we stuck to it. I don't care about factoring, that's a minor cool hack. The point is simple: Adding or removing dots from the face of a clock is a complete waste of (heh) time. If you peopl

The article seems to be suggesting that the idea that there are KGB moles inside the NSA is, in and of itself, indicitative of the NSA's ultimate failure. That's ludicrous. You'd be an idiot to ever suggest that the NSA wasn&

This is what the USA has forgotten, and why they are such a disappointment to the rest of us. Unjust government can be as abusive as it likes. Just government gains its strength from justice alone and its acts of abuse are its first step

The NSA retaining zerodays and other exploits works if and only if they use their knowledge of the exploits to patch their own systems, which is unlikely enough, and that they share such patches with certain echelons of US corporate society

That would in fact be their job. Far more so than monitoring each of their fellow citizens for shits and giggles. And porn.

Basically the difference between a bad thing happened and she did a bad thing. I think it's fair to say a bad thing happened (secret documents through insecure channels) because she did a bad thing (setting up an insecure server linked

They both manage to produce great things and new features not hinted at in their spec (ie. An OS and The Internet (kinda; TCP != IP), respectively) despite having a limited, shared feature set.

> all networks have to have the same feature set, and that's hugely restrictive. The ideas of microkernels and, well, TCP, suggest otherwise.

Setting up email is easier. Running email is harder. Mostly because when running sendmail, well, nobody cared.

Have you ever maintained one of their CMS solutions? "Professional" has many meanings...

Thankyou for giving possibly the only coherent argument against this.

That's basically putting the cart before the horse. Security is hard. Hard problems are easier when there are fewer of them. It's easier to build one big wall than lots of little ones. Surveillance of employees is a cornerstone of

We could, but we gain nothing but more work. We can't not consider current timekeeping. There is exactly 0 chance we can get everybody to change in the same instant and even if they did history is still there. Education, and thus civil
