If there is a reasonable suspicion I don't see the problem with giving law enforcement the legal ability to hack their targets. This is something very different from drag-net surveillance and should not be tainted with the same stigma.

Keep in mind that the situation she recalls, the one with the guy that apologizes to her for cussing, is perhaps not the sort of sexism you would want to try and get rid of. The way I see it, this coming from a early 20s male (read, shall w

This might be true, but you should also consider that sending humans up is more challenging. And if science rises to the challenge we will learn more from sending humans than from sending robots.

No you are wrong. Perhaps it's not the case everywhere. But like I said, from personal experience I know that certain types of domains are checked. I tried and failed to register a certificate for a phising domain that masqueraded as a

How does lets encrypt handle possible phising domains? Even if there's zero mitigation I think the benefits will outweigh the downsides, but I wonder if there's anything that stops a criminal from registering a domain that is very

But we're also on the cusp of being able to identify and then pre-emptively remove those genes for the gene pool directly via IVF + screening of the embryo to make sure that it doesn't carry any known diseases and/or defects.

But isn't that just called 'having a song stuck in your head?' I almost always have a song running in the background, never the same, but I wake up to a song and I go to sleep with a song.

Better to have all 0day trading above board than below I think. The genie is out of the bottle, it's senseless to outlaw this kind of behaviour since the people and the skills are already out there. Even AnglerEK uses 0days sometimes,

I HATED homework. I can honestly say that it's one of the main reasons I didn't have a fun time at school, since these things tend to snowball out of control. Don't do your homework -> get into trouble -> teachers thing

Hey I do the same! Only with variables, and almost always when using array indexes that are not 'i' or 'x'. Sometimes is annoys me, and I've noticed that it's worse when I use CamelCasing and not as bad when i_

Not only is it complicated, the lack of documentation and the leaky XML libraries that abound ensure that whoever ends up implementing SAML are prone to make security mistakes. I've audited two systems that used SAML to authenticate th

I don't think that's a fair position to take, fair to yourself that is. The company then is not the same as it is now. Enough time has passed since then and now that it's safe to assume that all the people in important positi

Yeah, I rather liked the way some of the sprouts looked. I certainly won't be the first to sport one of them, but I might be an early adopter if someone with more guts tries it out first ^^

That is still a consequence of editing as opposed to the editing itself. Perhaps it's unfair to discuss eugenics in the way it would be used in an ideal world. I agree with you that the scenario you sketch seems far from impossible. Bu
