I wouldn't consider any privacy expectations to be exaggerated— you can't have too much. I'm also sad to see you used ck2's karma/profile page to discredit their argument. ck2 could have phrased their post better (it came off somewhat conde

So the author says to use PBKDF2 because it's researched and tested better than bcrypt, and then suggests scrypt as another alternative despite having, from what I can tell, less research done on it than bcrypt. The crypto space can be in

No, it's like being the mayor of a town but there's this one area you don't have control over but still had to give the OK to let build and all the burglars keep getting in through that ar— On second thought, this is like a software vendor

It's not an issue of copying images off the Internet. It's an issue with redistributing it, which Pinterest does. Just because an image is on the Internet does not mean it's up for grabs to whoever gets it.

Speaking of their support, I can see why some people were avoiding Gandi because of it. I'm trying to transfer a domain (from SWITCH, no less) and am having issues. I emailed them a week and a half ago and heard back the next day saying the

Did Zed do that on purpose, though? He was continuously added to a troll repo with no way to block the guy, so he spammed his repo with commits and fake branch merges, but I don't think he crashed GitHub on purpose.

To be honest, I'm comfortable with websites publishing User Agent data. If I changed my UA to IE 5.5 for Mac and some sysadmin did a double-take and published it on her site, I wouldn't care as long as she didn't give away any personally-id

I disagree. In cases of fraud, logs, emails, and spreadsheets could all be used to guarantee a case— especially if it's the online variety. From my understanding, you're basically asking for the prosecution to prosecute a murder case but no

Is there a benefit to bringing long-lost plants back to life? I assume there's potential for this technology to be applied elsewhere, and it's a truly awesome achievement, but could the plants themselves be used for something?

Yeah, I could see a personal project using a good chunk of those. (Apache, nginx, memcached, MySQL, Varnish, PHP) It's definitely not outrageous to think Tumblr uses them all.
