I'm in the process of setting up my own email system but my biggest worry is incoming spam. One of the reasons (thee reason?) Gmail is so good at blocking spam is because they have so many users using them that it becomes very easy to

No, I think the author's point was that people shouldn't misrepresent FSS as equivalent to logging to a remote server. They can compliment each other, but they are not the same, and thinking they are can lead to serious security s

Posts like yours are one of the first steps. At this point we need to address the culture problem and the people contributing to it instead of focusing on the distracting fallout. I've tried to keep an open mind about all things system

"Detekt is a free tool that scans your Windows computer..." This is awesome, just not for me as a non-Windows user. I don't want this to perpetuate the myth that using Mac or Linux makes you impervious though. I still think t

No, but it does make it possible for those few who do. And that's a few more than would have reviewed it if it was closed source. It's not perfect, but IMO this is one of the best parts of Open Source, I can audit it if I want to.

You've got a very good point. I guess the reason I'm not as worried about it as you is because I feel like it will be easier to get the FCC to bow to public pressure (eventually?) if they do something stupid, more than I trust any

Those are valid, and very real concerns. Learning by mistake is one of the quickest ways to learn something though. Personally, to mitigate the possibility of losing my hard work to this problem, I started using git for personal projects an

I think you may have misunderstood my comment, of course there is more to it then checkout and commit. Those are the basics, that's where you start. Then you get stuck somehow, and you read more . That's what I did at least. IMO

IMO this all-or-nothing mentality when it comes to installing apps is the single biggest problem with Android right now, trumping even the perceived fragmentation problem.

Thank you for clarifying. The buyer and seller both get a say in who the notary is, correct? What if they can't agree on a trusted notary? Is it possible to have more than one notary (eg 3 notaries requiring 4 people in agreement for a

Because if you're standing there on you're phone, there's more of an opportunity for their sales person to come over and upsell you on their Service Plan. Think about it from their point of view :)

There are some nice form factor cases out there now-a-days, and I would like to explore using those to make a firewall I could offer to friends and family to protect them too, but I'm just using an old desktop right now.

This. When I said HTTP, I meant to include HTTPS. Intercepting HTTPS and filtering it is actually rather simple, and avoiding certificate warnings only slightly less so by deploying your own CA. You're correct that some devices may use

Fair question. They had police uniforms, complete with radios which were squawking occasionally, they had a police cruiser complete with Toughbook, and it appeared to me as though the older officer was training the younger one. All in all,
