Is it RAID configurable? Is the data encrypted at rest, and, if so, how? Will it support two factor authentication? Will Plug ever "phone home" for any reason or report any data (meta or otherwise) to anybody except the purchaser?

If it really is as robust and simple to operate as they claim it will be, $150 seems more than fair. Especially considering the thriving $500 tablet market is driven by every day people who think it's too much of a hassle to use their

Nothing about this would work. Significantly fewer corporations with a drastically smaller workforce paying greatly increased tax rates with a substantially weaker dollar to benefit an unthinkably higher quantity of citizens? I assume we st

Surprisingly childish behavior from both companies. Stop trying to embarrass each other and spend thirty minutes on the phone like adults.

I feel like this might already exist, but a sheet like this for vi/vim and emacs would be tops.

These guys are right about OWASP - great resource. A great high value tutorial for password storage can be found here: http://crackstation.net/hashing-security.htm Beyond that, it's all very searchable.

There's always value in a guided course, but everything on the outline can be found free online. Unless you need the structure, I'd save your money and use open learning materials.

You and I should get together and make a bet. If my rights are going to be stripped away I may as well profit.

A broadcast, by definition, is a data transmission initiated by the broadcaster to a number of recipients. HTTP doesn't fit this definition in any way, shape, or form. Every transaction is initiated by a request from you, the client. R

I'm not sure you know what "broadcast" means.

"...many of which should be blocked..." Nothing personal, but it's opinions like this that get us here in the first place. When you make it a matter of quality instead of principle, they've won. Child pornographers should be found, charged,

Totally off topic, I know, but why do you all still pay these obscene prices for joe? "Expensive" bagged coffee costs 10-15 USD and makes many more cups. It's easy to make in the office or at home, and you get to be your own quality control

Being "technically inclined" doesn't make you a hacker either. The news may misuse the term, but so does this entire community. "Hacking" does not mean "doing a software job well".

Exterminators need roaches, too. Just because someone stands to profit doesn't mean there isn't a problem.

Considering the US and China are both on the security council, nothing with teeth will ever come out of the UN. And if it did, no one would care because of how difficult it is to prove attribution.

I doubt you're dealing with these guys. The original APT1 report seems to indicate the bad guys are a little more clever with their phishing, and I doubt they would get sloppier post report.

How about filming police, or people activity participating in crime? And if you allow exceptions for that, who's to decide what constitutes crime and what happens to people who film perfectly legal acts that look suspicious?

You're right in that this weapon isn't really worth the effort, and if it were only about this particular file neither Defense Distributed or the US government would have cause for concern. This is a big deal because 1) this is one of the f

Yes, strict laws on private behavior certainly keeps authoritarianism at bay. Personally, between free speech and a two year warranty, I go for the former.

Don't trust policy. If you aren't good willing to handle encryption yourself, find a medium that will responsibly handle it for you (i.e. lavabit.com)

Any chance you can elaborate a bit? I'm not as familiar with how JS is loaded and exactly what noscript does as I should be.
