Sure you do. Easy to confirm, just fire up a console on github.com and enter document.cookie. What runs there can run on the page in injected code. Sess cookie for github is km_ai

As an Eastern Euro, I didn't like that the post mentioned 'better read in a Russian accent' - implying that the subject is better judged if you take the common stereotype into account. If you read through all of that, this doesn't sound lik

That is really the only reason for native apps these days -- access to camera, accelerometers, various coprocessors, etc. All of these are steadily being added as HTML5 (formerly Web Applications 1.0) API's. Even OpenGL and direct graphic

What I meant to say was that a reason why it may not be true. I started typing the response with one thing in mind and ended with another. Point still applies though. No cases where prosecution has cited intercepted VPN traffic.

Not sure about that, but if the FBI were conducting any investigations where they were able to exploit VPN traffic because of a hole in OpenBSD, it would show up in a trial somewhere (and if the prosecution do not present how they got the d

Easy way to prove it isn't true: Has there ever been a criminal case prosecuted in the USA where the FBI entered or revealed intercepted VPN data as evidence?

Wow, super outdated, to the point where most of it is flat-out wrong. Almost every point has been superseded by new PHP functionality and features.

VCs may not have had a say - which has become more common, esp after only a single round. Rackspace don't really do inflated acquisitions - they paid $18M for Slicehost and Jungledisk (combined). Cloudkick raised $2M back in April, so you w
