I can't say I'm particularly happy with the choice of VxLAN as a tunneling technology but I'm not particularly surprised either.

There is some anecdotal evidence that varying macronutrient levels affect hormone levels in significant ways. Screwing with hormone levels is a great way to affect the metabolism rate and lipid storage capability of the human body. That&#x

As a person who travels regularly for work I can say you have quite a romantic view of business travel. The reality is that I usually see (in this order) an airport, a taxi, a conference room, a hotel dining room and/or bar, a hotel ro

I think people are having a hard time with the idea that someone could posit that there is a security vulnerability and then actively tamper with the IFE systems while in flight. I know he says he hasn't done that, but I'm not su

You're talking about the process by which you make a ski that will be used for skiing. I'm talking about something that LOOKS like a ski, but will never be used to ski. I wouldn't make the mistake of confusing the two.

My point was that a surprisingly small amount of explosives is a risky bet for nearly anything as vulnerable to decompression as the pressurized hull of an airliner. You could construct skis that incorporated a very thin layer of HE sandwic

Like, say, a toner cartridge? But yeah. Explosives can and have been shaped into many interesting forms. Usually this is done to create a blast wave that applies force to a focused area for extra penetrating power, but it's also used

The traffic congestion in NYC keeps the speeds down, not to mention the potholes in the road. But a cyclist running a red light is so commonplace in NYC that they think that it's not even a ticketable offense. http://nypost.

Come to NYC. We have Citibike here and messengers and delivery people on bikes. And it's horrible. The bicyclists ROUTINELY violate nearly every sane traffic law on the books. They go the wrong way against traffic, refuse to stop for

None of this matters much to me since I'm often staying someplace close to Paddington and/or Mayfair. If I'm not staying there, I'm off to Canary Wharf and it's a taxi ride no matter what. If you're fine with

FWIW, I've done both trips (tube vs. Heathrow Express) and I much prefer Heathrow Express. When I travel it's usually for business and the time savings of the Express vs. the Tube just makes it a complete no-brainer for me. People

Modafinil is easy to get a legal prescription for in the US. It certainly was for me. I get mine paid for by insurance.

Honestly, I just went to my family doctor and asked for it. I took a look at the symptoms for Shift Work Sleep Disorder, decided that I was a close match for that cluster of symptoms and took my story to the doc. Modafinil is not really pro

I've had a Modafinil prescription for more than a year. I've used fewer than 60 tablets in my whole life. I needed every single one of those tablets though. I travel extensively for work and I'm often called upon to be &quot

So you think your cherry picked examples prove your point? The military is made up of PEOPLE. Those people place themselves at great risk for little pay in horrible circumstances. They do a job that very few people are willing to do and y

You don't think the chain of command respects those under it? I like how people who have never served have such solid opinions of what it's like to live in that environment.

What I find so disturbing about this article is that the kid enlisted in the military for no other purpose than to get food and shelter. Wow. I enlisted in the Navy and I had a very clear objective: get some structure in my life and grow u

Is this just your idea? Or is it an actual working solution? Because people have known about padding for a while and yet we still have methods to de-anonymize TOR networks. When you use those techniques on a minor mesh network like this,

I won't go into detail here, but consider how de-anonymization of TOR network users is done with multiple layers of onion routing and encryption. All that needs to happen is that you correlate the injection of traffic to a particular

LOL. Good luck with that. It's trivially easy to detect this kind of TOS abuse, even if the traffic is encrypted. I'm all for the creation of bypass networks but suggesting that connecting those networks to a cable modem connecti
