I don't think that's completely fair. The people who are providing the content on a lot of web pages are not the same people who are responsible for the monetization scheme. Some sites have good/decent content, but really obt

One less key to carry, I imagine. Practically speaking, I wouldn't really mind having my wallet and keys integrated with my smartphone. It is the security implications that make me uneasy.

10 hours is unreasonably long for someone who is running an application that other users need to access. People are not going to be happy if Farmville is suddenly not remembering all the cows they milked last time they were logged in. This

It's weird because when I imagine a young kid who is going to grow up to be a software developer, I tend to imagine the kid who gets picked on, not the one who's picking on people. I wonder why the tables turn. FTA > It is sort

You have to remember why these bounty programs exist in the first place. The whole point is to discourage people from selling the exploits to more unscrupulous parties. This guy had good intentions and he made a mistake because he wasn&#x27

The abbreviation he used was actually "repro", which seems like something that would likely be shortened in an environment where you say it a lot.

And the answer is because ssh is entirely keyboard driven. There is no good reason to clumsily mouse through a drop-down menu, then move your hand back to your keyboard, when you can type "zz<enter>" in an open terminal and

> Both comments are wrong since "Cryptocat.randomString(64, 0, 0, 1, 0)" generates a string that is 64 decimal digits which is 212.6 bits or 26.6 bytes. How can you have .6 bytes or bits?

If they are indeed aware of PRISM, I have a feeling that both Mark and Larry are avoiding legal action (or threats of legal action) made by the NSA. To me, that is the most likely reason for not "standing up" and coming out about
