It's going to go into somebody's cloud whether you like it or not as soon as you send it to somebody else, unless the "private" flag is an end-to-end solution. If I send a private file or photo to someone, it should be e

It seems like it would be a feat to gather all the user IDs of these famous people in the first place. I'm guessing there's a black market just for that? I used to work on a service used by quite a few famous people, if anybody on

I was removed from the jury by the judge when I refused to swear an oath to only use the letter of the law to determine innocence or guilt (paraphrasing, might have that wrong.) I didn't know at that time that you can't be prosecu

Sometimes it is because, even if the chance it's real is slim, the stakes would be incredibly high. One time I thought I witnessed a kidnapping, a woman shackled and gagged in the back of a car. I contacted the police and they very tho

It's in GNUPG 2.1, but it's been in beta forever. Also, at least my smart token can only do RSA. It's disappointing that it's taking this long, but it's not people are throwing money at the GNUPG team.

They didn't end up doing that. There were some games that were built on top of Windows CE, but the OS was integrated into the disc.

Am I to understand then that there is a parallel online hacking community populated by Japanese-speakers? I have never really run across this, just blogs randonly-dispersed.

So, it was before Satellaview, but I lived in Japan in 1993 when I was sixteen, and it was the best time in my life. But I also was a giant f*ing nerd. Here are some things I remember, with regard to "retrofuturism": a Blockbuster

I would love to see an analysis on a site by site basis of what they consider trolls and what they consider highly-rated comments. I suspect however it would be found it would align more closely around in-group/out-group than content.

In every other situation this place bemoans the cruelty and stupidity of "zero tolerance," which I think is the correct reaction. Other than that I agree with everything you're saying.
