There's no problem sending encrypted data internationally. The "munition" is the code/program that does the encryption. Export controls on crypto were relaxed in the late 90s (I'd have to look up the exact dates), and before then there were

Correct, but you actually can sell them as long as they are not manufactured with the intent to sell. So you can't make a lower, take it to the range for a day and immediately sell it, but if you have one that is several years old it's prob

I don't have a sense of smell (technically it's called anosmia for the curious), and I completely agree. I find that most wine, especially red wine, is fairly bad. White wine seems to be more consistent, but after reading this article and

I've noticed this about iPhoto too. I was a mac user, but recently switched to linux on my laptop when I realized iPhoto/Aperture were the only things keeping me on OS X, and I didn't really like how they worked. Does anyone have suggestio

Not quite. Sid is always unstable, and the new testing is jessie: http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/ Otherwise you're right - now it probably not the best time to switch to jessie/testing.

Shooting guns is fun. For some people, a real rifle, even something like a 22, is going to be more fun than a pellet gun. Trap shooting and sporting clays are also going to be difficult with a pellet gun. Hunting is also a good reason. T

There's no clear definition of an assault weapon. Fully automatic weapons have essentially been banned since 1986 [1]. Once you take away that, the bans on assault weapons pretty much amount to bans on firearms that look scary. Perhaps a

While there are still some shapes you can't make this way, if you extend your manufacturing techniques to involve resin casting you can easily mass-produce complex shapes. That's the motivation fo the Guerilla guide to CNC machining (which

I don't quite get the big concern about 3D printed guns, although printing the barrel is impressive. It's been possible to make a gun (as defined by US firearms law) at home for a long time with cnc equipment: http://cncguns.com/ In fact

The OpenBSD equivalent to NanoBSD is flashrd: http://www.nmedia.net/flashrd/ It's not officially supported, however, and only recommended for systems that are likely to suffer power outages and for which running fsck would be problematic.

The man pages and FAQ are a good place to start for documentation. It's rather nice having everything in one place, rather than scattered around forum posts, mailing lists, HOWTOs, etc, some of which might or might not be outdated. Unless

There is a useful and detailed upgrade guide here: http://openbsd.org/faq/upgrade53.html The official recommendation is to boot the installation kernel and upgrade that way, but I've never had a problem doing a remote upgrade. It's alway

What's wrong with having to throw them out every 2-4 weeks? :-) I used to wear contacts every day, and even wore the daily disposables for a while. Those were actually really convenient.

The company I worked use to use ADP's 401k, which wasn't very good. We've switched to The Hartford, which is decent, but I've only heard good things about Vanguard.

by cdjk 13y ago
All you can really do is pressure the company into picking a better 401k provider (Vanguard is a good bet). A self-directed option in a 401k isn't really possible as far as I'm aware, since you're limited to mutual funds. They don't want p

This seems somewhat narrow, unfortunately. Suppose I have a laptop with an encrypted hard drive, and I'm known to use that laptop. It's going to be hard to convince someone that I don't own the laptop and drive, so it seems like the gover

True, but "emacs in screen/tmux" has a few other advantages for me - namely that I can leave all my buffers open when I leave the office and easily pick up from home. It's also more pleasant over a slow vpn connection.
229.
by cdjk 13y ago
The way I get around that is running emacs on the remote server in screen/tmux. If there's a better way I'd love to know it, but I haven't found it to be too much of a problem.

Huntington's disease is autosomal dominant, so essentially you're going to get it or not. I don't believe counsyl tests for Huntington's, and probably only tests for recessive traits where you can be a carrier like cystic fibrosis. I can ki

Starting Strength is the way to go: http://startingstrength.com/ The basic outline is that it's 5 exercises, three times a week, with three exercises per day - you alternate some of them. It should take about an hour including warm ups.

There are some clever tricks adversaries can do with DPI. One thing was that Tor originally used SSL certificates with very short expiration times and rotated them frequently. That's very distinct compared to "real" https traffic, since n

That's a complicated question. This talk from CCC in 2011 addresses some of the points (and is very interesting in it's own right): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwMr8Xl7JMQ Tor already uses SSL, so I'm not sure how valuable encapsulati

Ha! It's a nice thought, but the various compatibility modes are not actually identical to the real versions of the browsers. Close, yes, but there are bugs/features that only show up in the real versions.

There are even smaller homebrew QRP (low power) transceivers that will easily fit in an altoids tin (minus the battery), although I'd love a KX3. You need to know morse code for those to be practical, however. I'd also be, uh, slightly he

Handhelds (i.e. VHF/UHF, most likely 144MHz or 440MHz) will only work locally without additional equipment. If you have access to a repeater (which isn't a problem, as most are open) that's linked the internet then you can talk to anyone,

I agree, and was regretting not bringing my handheld on a trip this weekend (although I wasn't traveling in Boston, it reminded me I left it at home). It requires a little more planning, however, as you have to have a communication protocol
