The English language is a flexible thing. Some think that "y'all" is not 'proper', but name another single word second person collective pronoun in English. Some English in America also has "write me" instead of "write to me".

The thing to consider about a press release is it's a way that other journalists know every other journalist has gotten the news, and thus, is a way to guarantee that not many people will write about you (journalists are driven by the scoop

Yes, I forgot about that clause. What do you think would happen when the US Navy gave code to the US Airforce. Would that constitute 'distribution'? US --> Allied govt? Soldier --> soldier?

Sweet, so all that GNU code they are modifying, we can request a copy of the source code. (Most Linux code is GNU licensed, see here https://www.ohloh.net/p/debian/analyses/latest )

I don't know what "234*527" is off the top of my head, but I know what the answer is if I need it. Imgur doesn't know who I am in a picture and wouldn't know the answer if they needed it (except for a massive & deliberate effort). Faceb

I was talking about Facebook. Have they stopped allowing people to post pictures of me without my consent?

So happy I quit, now I don't feel like my life is under surveillance. They are a surveillance company.

Ok. So the "hidden service" is not intended to be anonymous then? Just as a check to ensure that the user knows they are on Tor? Because, in order to be the first seed, you will generally leak your IP. If not, what steps have you taken to m

I support what you are doing, but I have some questions. What are you doing to stop your location leaking through torrent trackers? I believe bit-torrent through Tor is not anonymous in and of itself. Is your torrent client doing hostname l

So is the intention to generate addresses for the organisations without info going through you? Using js in the browser? (That would be awesome!)

Many have, take the sort of mathematics done in order to understand physics. Logic is the study of formal reasoning. Mathematics is the study of form and structure. It took R&W's Principia Mathematica to attempt to show that the entiret

I agree with all of the above. Except there are isolated cases of philosophy actually pushing forward the frontiers of knowledge. Arguably Russell & Whitehead did in the Principia Mathematica, which attempted to put the foundation of ma

The problem with the latency on Tor is not the bandwidth, (Tor can download a 1mb file quite quickly), it's the ping. This is an aspect of the onion routing model, not the fact that volunteers run nodes. There are proposals to switch from H

Your writing style can identify you. 'Jstylo' is a tool that detects authorship. 'Anonymouth' is a tool that spoofs authorship (ever wanted to write HN replies as if you were JK Rowling? You can do it.)

Interesting to note that China has something like "freedom time". If you are in the west of the country, the sun rises at 9am and sets around 9pm, when in the east it rises at 6am and sets at 6pm. The entire country is on one time, Beijing

Yes. Exactly, sorry, it's a lazy cliche, but I do think the evidence is there in the HB Gary emails that enables one to conclude beyond some reasonable level of doubt it was U.S. produced. However, the NY Times piece does provide evidence f
