Stallman wasn't responding to Steve Jobs' death, rather the slick of unbalanced praise for Apple's devices that followed in its wake (no pun intended).

That's not the point, I think. If the article proposed we all switched to using wingdings, it would get the derision it deserved.

Poorly researched filler piece. For example, the article on Barcelona failed to mention ANY of the truly interesting startups, like Privalia, ExperienceOn, Letsbonus, Groupalia, and all the companies seeded by Grupo Intercom.

Err, yes thanks. I was trying to emphasise the fact that the multiplier of entropy is not the "bit", but the "word" (in the linguistic, rather than the computer architecture sense)

Such a password scheme provides much less than 44 "bits" of entropy. Considering the use of 4 randomly chosen words from the c.170000 english words in general use, means we can guess the paraphrase in around 2^22 tries - even less than "Tr0

This is someone who thought it was a good idea to rent out their home (not just their property, their home ) for a whole week, unattended, to a total stranger. The biggest mistake Airbnb have made is not overly trusting their travellers, b

Again, the new law does not specifically mention "analytics" - the analytics issue is something that you yourself have come up with. If you read the guidelines, you'll notice that it states that consent does not need to be sought "where suc

Because the site may continue to function, but with reduced usability. I don't believe the new law says anything about analytics, just cookies which are not (waves hands) "strictly necessary". Just how much of a degradation in usability is
