This again. Every time someone speaks out about sexism there seems to be a need for some to defend the predators (directly or by declaring that "this is not sexism"). Why do you feel obligated to do so?

Indeed. I would like to add that the initial response was most likely automated (looks kinda generic). Kinda makes me want to send a dummy email and see if I get a similar response as fast. But in all fairness, 7 days is still acceptable. I

Your entire argument is based on the false assumption that foreign aid cannot be executed correctly. I would assume we have learned a thing or two since that 50 year old example took place.

It might still make economical sense to hire a gunship to protect the "droneships" while passing high-risk areas. Besides, take some of the money saved on salaries and use it for foreign aid to countries such as Somalia and you&#x

Indeed. This is one of the big problems with today's "save-all-the-data" mentality. The general consensus is that there's no point removing data - since disk space is basically free ($0.05/GB) [1] and hey, we might

Are they seriously recommending the usage of unsalted md5? Edit: Oh, the article is from 2009 (I'd say it was bad practice even back then though).

Agreed. This "answer" made me really suspicious. Why wouldn't they provide source for example? Aren't those tpb guys all about openness/transparency?

What's the point of life if you die? I don't want to die, therefore I strongly suggest we make it illegal for humans to drive vehicles on public roads. The trade-off is in my opinion really small compared to the millions of lives

I don't agree with rdtsc's either, and I am not "conspiracy-minded" just because I point out that your einstein-clown argument is fallacious. Therefore I would not like to draw that line. I would however say it's a

The metaphor in your argument is dependent on the fact that Einstein and Bozo are two separate entities. Once Einstein[0] had published his theory of relativity people stopped laughing, and they never laughed at him again. [0] They still di

I do not think this is a good solution. This is once again just smashing another security trade-off in the face of the end-user. Once the user is responsible they can be blamed and the browser is considered secure with stupid users. If the

Your comment implies that Linus trusts Intel. This is not true, since the change is unnecessary even if they were infiltrated: "Long answer: we use rdrand as _one_ of many inputs into the random pool, and we use it as a way to _improve

The downside is that you will kill the city. I am not sure about larger cities, but smaller cities (i.e. 200k- people) this sure applies. Banning personal cars makes the very majority of people, who lives just outside the city, to go shop

I think they are just splitting up trust to less trust-able entities. Sure, the impact of a malicious entity would be less severe, but the chance of any being malicious is rather big. Cause let's face it, my mom is not going to run her
