I concur with some of the other posters in that automated application vulnerability detection is far from flawless (Heh.....far indeed.) But that's not to say they aren't using them already. I used to perform high-level security a

That is possible, yes. Not many VPN services do that, but as Sanddancer pointed out, there are ways. However, for most, it's an inconvenience that presents a barrier to entry. (Judgements aside.) As for logs, it would be great to belie

I agree. I should have listened to the little voice telling me to change "undoubtedly" to some other "likely, but not definitely" term. I'd be curious to know how often that works. Regardless, I suspect most don&#x2

It would be a fantastic edition to "private" mode. Also, by being baked into the browser, it would give Mozilla a degree of control over the protocols passed. A user opting for the browser plugin instead of the standalone client w

A VPN is not the same. A VPN will protect from a MITM attack, obscuring the resources you're accessing and the data exchanged to an observer. However, it does not anonymize you from the VPN provider, who can still disclose your informa

I agree. It's also why Windows does work on the desktop. For all of its issues, it works the vast majority of the time. I never truly appreciated it as an OS until I tried using something else as a daily, desktop OS.

Opencongress.org is a great site for following this sort of info.

While we in the "free world" have unprecedented concerns these days, I don't think spying is relevant to the issues the gentleman here is facing, and the assumptions that he will not be helped seem cynical, at best. That bein

I agree that it's not exactly abandonment to all, but from the OPs perspective, who knows his wife best, it may have been as such. Not everyone takes to new and foreign places as well. I sincerely salute your ability to, but I get the

There's a severe fault in rxrz's logic here, if I'm following this correctly: "This code was originally under a Samsung proprietary license" Wrong. exfat_version.h:/* - 2012.04.02 : P1 : Change Module License t

I just finished it recently, and will add to your recommendation. It's a great read for what seems like would be dull subject matter. A great analysis and history of the often overlooked but just as important other half of globalizatio

I was wondering that myself. HN usually frowns upon one word replies as well. Bottom three are all created within a minute of their first post...

I had the impression that cmd.exe was on its way out, soon to be replaced by Powershell entirely. When I saw the option for Powershell to open by default in Windows 8/2012 instead of cmd.exe, I figured the writing was on the wall.

"Tolerance" is being thrown around as though yours and OSC's arguments are equal, on the same lines as Apple vs. Android or Chocolate vs. Vanilla. On one side lies liberty and civil rights, and the other is for disenfranchisi

After moving to Europe, I started using that functionality all of the time. I'll be rather crushed to see it go.

Without weighting in on OSC's views (as those are well covered elsewhere), I thought I'd point out something regarding the salaries and pay of those who worked on the movie, the support of which keeps coming up. For anyone working

It's a troublesome issue for China as well. China's companies are often state controlled. (if not outright owned, then the government controls a commanding stake) With an intense focus on keeping employment high, they are lothe to

I'm a little skeptical about this process given the other, much easier methods available to the NSA. The one thing that isn't discussed here is data retention. Quite simply, how do you get the information to shore, where it can be

I'm tempted to go this route in the future instead of the home ESXi server I run. I realize this is probably a bit unique compared to most, but a lot of what I do in my instance is build private clouds for customers. AWS is great, but

I'm rather saddened by this. As an infrastructure engineer, TechNet has been perfect for building demo labs and proof-of-concepts. In my home virtualization environment, I love the ability to throw up a domain today, a SQL cluster tomo

Thanks for the document. I've only started reading it, but it looks rather good. (I'm astonished and thrilled that in the essays, the authors cite their sources.) Good find. =)

The C-17 has a rough field capability. You're correct though; the A400M was intended to fill a position between the C-17 at the high end, and the C-130 at the low end. The issues arose when it later became clear that there may not have

It's a common problem in defense, especially in the last 20 years. As budgets continue to shrink, countries are under pressure to cut the number of units purchased, which increases the per-unit price (design and development, being fixe

I thought it was a very well written piece. I've seen lots of debate on this subject. The author brought a lot of evidence and work to the table for this. While its implications can be debated (what lessons can we draw from this?) a very st

That a unified (sub)-combatant-level command has been newly created for this very task speaks volumes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Cyber_Command The author's frustration is justified, but his conclusion that they do not tak
