I wouldn't support this because: the campaign project members are anonymous (and thus cannot be held accountable), the project is flexibly funded (meaning they get the money either way), and the key IS NOT A UNIVERSAL HANDCUFF KEY. The

So why not start out as an open source project, then kickstart the hosting/etc after its been built and tested? Many open source software projects (some huge ones today) came out of the woodwork with no funding and little community sup

FYI Inconsolata was (also) designed by a programmer: http://levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html It has a very different look and feel though.

I'm just comparing it to my $250 chromebook that I installed Ubuntu on. It's additionally portable and battery powered. Edit: the specs are actually almost identical to the $329 chromebox http://www.google.com/int

It would be great to break through the "if you have nothing to hide" line and push that responsible citizenry need security (and cryptography) as well. I am also the other.

Also it is important to remember that nuclear radiation (ionizing radiation) is what people normally think of as "radioactive". Cell phones emit non-ionizing radiation, which we mostly experience as heat or light -- not what we w

Ditto for paying for a print copy. Some tech books I'd rather read outside in the sun; it forces me to actively try to internalize more instead of hopping to/from the console every minute. Maybe http://lulu.com ?

Nice! It'd be good to pair this with some instructions on how to do safe key management by yourself, because you'll only ever be as safe as you keep your keys. I would link to some here, but I don't even know of any best pra

SparkCore uses TI's CC3000 unit ( http://www.ti.com/product/cc3000 ) which is a 2.4GHz wi-fi module. Flutter is using CC1001/CC1200, which are 900MHz radios. 900MHz (as a longer wave) will travel much farther

TrustZone is exclusive to Cortex-A ARM chips. These are the big, beefy chips that run mobile phones and tablets. This (Flutter) is using a Cortex-M ARM chip, which is entirely different. These are used in small, embedded devices. Like wi

How did you go about removing ChromeOS from it? As far as I've seen either a new OS is installed under ChromeOS (crouton) or beside it (chrubuntu).

Still, it goes to show that even if you lock down your website, you could still be vulnerable if your registry is vulnerable.
