This is true but not relevant to the discussion because the attack in question depends sniffing clear-text wireless traffic at the local access point. Tunneling over SSH protects your traffic for that portion of the network (and out past yo

While I completely agree, I wouldn't consider personal experience a valid data point for generalizing the whole world.

The responsibility is with every admin that setup an insecure access point, not with every security researcher to stay quiet about widely known and widely exploited vulnerabilities. This isn't new. Point and click tools for doing this exis

A few weeks ago I bought an "Epic 4G" phone from Sprint. This is one of the Samsung Galaxy S variants. It has a custom GUI called "TouchWiz" made to look more like the iphone and is loaded with Sprint applications including a game demo, n

I think it's inaccurate to say "Android" isn't "truly open". It's open when it leaves Google and the code is still out there. I can still benefit from that openness even on a phone that carriers added some restrictions to. The blame shoul

This link is work-safe. At least with noscript. I don't know if there are any racy ads I'm not seeing.

There may be lots of reasons to disable javascript or not have it available at all such as security policies, bandwidth restrictions, limited hardware devices or other things you haven't anticipated. I think it depends on what content you'r

It could save other readers the time of loading a link that isn't going to work? I thought it was contributing in that sense. He was -3 when I commented originally.

I still think your perspective on general knowledge is off. I think plenty of people with phones still don't know what an operating system is, especially people over the age of 30 who didn't grow up with the internet and ubiquitous compute

The summarizing line of the article: For things to really work for them, maybe there should be one kind of device, one OS version and one App store (sounds familiar?). I'm not saying I agree, I was disappointed with the author's opinions.

Plenty of users buy phones without knowing what Android is or even what an "operating system" is. All thee know is compared to their old phone with a random proprietary OS, this phone has a much more polished interface and apps similar to

I think this would be more interesting if it included the behavior profile facebook keeps on you. I've read articles where they describe tracking every page you visit, when, how many times and for how long. Facebook is interested in knowi

I don't think the advice was to avoid socializing. I think it's just to spend time socializing with people who care about or share values with. The article didn't say how you're supposed to find those people in the first place though. I g

The significance of the "like" button missing from other sites is lost on me. I've been using the Application Boundaries Enforcer feature of no-script in Firefox to block facebook content when I'm not visiting a facebook site directly.

I've noticed the same problems on the Samsung Galaxy S phone I got from Sprint last Tuesday. It's the "Epic 4G" variant. I also have issues with camera and GPS apps freezing or crashing pretty frequently.

I assumed the quoted song-writer does. I'm not sure how else he justifies not being able to retire from his work. He doesn't seam to be suggesting the quality of his work is to blame. I know quality and personal interest is the reason I

Biden was one of the few Senators I knew by name before he was VP. I was also concerned about how his views on copyright would affect the stance of the current Administration. Here's more on the history of Biden's pro-copyright campaign.

I agree. While interruptions in something like watching a movie in the theater might break my concentration for several minutes, I find context switching to help my productivity at work. I can get stuck on a problem without a distraction

Another poster mentioned "tmux" in reply to this comment but they deleted their post before I could reply. I had not heard of tmux before. Apparently it's an alternative to "screen". I would have upvoted you for making me aware of it. h

I would love seeing fewer drivers in cars already reading on their way to work. Educating human drivers may be just as good as replacing them.

I agree in the situation where all other drives on the road are equally intelligent and paying attention when they drive. Sadly, in the area I drive in, many drivers are constantly paying more attention to their phone than the road. Those

If you're stuck in traffic for a long time, your leg engaging the clutch can get very tired. So you're constantly switching to neutral to rest your leg. It's also not uncommon for traffic to go from stopped, to fast enough to warrant 2nd g

I'm concerned that when cars doing this are the minority, with other traffic constantly going around them, they just become an obstacle in traffic. If you inspire other cars to change lanes to pass you, because you're intentionally driving
