I can't help but think that if there was a Venue Pro 8 with a decent dock so that you could use it as a desktop and take it to a meeting as a tablet would be just a no-brainer for corporate IT shops. I can't count the number of ti

Used to be a libertarian? Still a right winger, though. Obama rewrote the bankruptcy laws to help a union? Speaking of union's, firefighters are a problem now? Since when? Ted Kennedy the murderer. The serfs are being disarmed? How abo

I think that all evidence points to states having far far more power to respond to technologies than anyone here can imagine. Frankly, in light of all the public disclosures this year I can't help but wonder where all the bitcoin optim

every time i have read a statement like this in the past it has been followed at some point by a crushing, total and complete, reversal that shows that the exact opposite effect was produced from the anticipated outcome.

I don't guess that all of this has been corroborated? Maybe I'm missing something but all of the stuff in the article and several things in these threads aren't in the cryptome pdf listed below.

Voter fraud just isn't a large problem, no matter how much some people would like it to be.

That is a fundamentally bad idea. Votes and "dollars", what ever your concept of dollar is, should never be the same thing.

This is an area where the downvotes are just waiting to crush you...but as per usual, I disagree with the premise that these guys have done something wrong. Patents and copyright provide small businesses or inventors the means to monetize t

for fsck's sake. Unix fans always forget that there were other host systems with lineages that are longer...some of which are still in use. Unix people love to go on and on about Unix...that's the take away message. Also, what wou

Wow...Telegram. The only thing you will ever get from engaging the "public" on forums like HN is heartache. You will never get them to like you...they just aren't that in to you. Contact people that are actually in the crypto

It's only "earned overseas" because Google pays foreign subsidiaries money from its US operating company. Its a dodge and everyone knows it.

Google is an American company in an area that desperately needs the tax revenue. Even the money they "earn in the US" is washed through subsidiaries overseas.

Google shelters a great deal of tax money outside of the us...

If Google would pay their fare share of taxes instead of sheltering them offshore then the bay area could have awesome public transit for everybody. For all of you bitching about the "burning man" types. The bay area is full of ru

Hello, Mr. Moxie...I was just wondering if I understood you about what you said here...is the PGP model being considered a dead end because of the "store it forever in Utah" model of the NSA? Excuse my ignorance, but, don't a

This contest is a direct result of some arguments that happened on HN when they announced their product.

Note to everyone in technology...Hacker News isn't the crowd that you need to impress. The cryptanalysis community, in particular, has a small group of experts that can credibly critique your ideas. They would probably love to pick apa

That's actually the new security model that Metro apps use. They are sandboxed by default with a declarative privileges model. I think its called AppContainer? Here's a blog post: http://recxltd.blogspot.com/2012&#

Do you honestly think that I have never tried Linux? Seriously? The first time I installed Linux I had to download the floppy images over a 2400 baud modem connection to a bulletin board. I'm not bashing people for using Linux...I&#x27

Not all implementations are created equal. I will cede that point. And you're right, I would call that configuration.

Learning Linux makes you a better programmer? That's what I'm talking about in a nutshell. "Learning GNU/Linux" doesn't make one a better programmer. I'm not even sure how that's supposed to work...yo

I'm not a MS employee or even a stockholder. I just get tired of the group think around here. It doesn't do anybody any good to let some of these "everybody knows" style truisms pass unquestioned. The accusations of bein

Windows has DEP and ASLR. They are actually pretty much on par with each other from a TLA standpoint. There are configuration issues that affect security that should be taken into account if you have high security needs. Its not a capabilit

That's one that I do think it's cool to be paranoid about. Cellular networks were designed with lawful intercept in mind. Combine that with the work published recently about baseband processors and it looks to me like staying off

I love that "Microsoft has backdoors"...no one credible has said that they have proof of that. They give the US Government early access to vulnerability data...they give those updates to several governments and large corporations

"1. don't use windows"...I realize how unpopular it is to question the groupthink on this site but this strikes me as simplistic. The public takedowns related to tor have been more about firefox than windows. But I get that L
