Yes, I would not have thought countries gets much smaller than Iceland! :) Small countries are a poor choice for many reasons, not least because too much can change too quickly and it does not require much capital (monetary or political) to

Interesting article. Shame he did not cover or mention directly the highly popular .EU domain which has no particularly strong requirements. While individual EU countries may fall under the NATO/ECHELON agreements under varying degrees of i

I recommend learning to use a password manager to automate creation of secure passwords and controlled by a single passphrase. 1. A good password manager can run or be made to run on many platforms, including mobiles and flash devices. 2. I

Interesting that this article does not mention three things: 1. The designers of the Raspberry Pi have said that while their intention was to design and manufacture the device fully within the UK, the latter turned out to be impossible from

Not sure why so many are getting worked up about the suspension. Would you not at least temporarily suspend a user account that had compromised your stack for audit and temporary prevention of further new developments? If they meant to re

Exactly. This can only be a boon for the .EU domain, ccTLDs and all their registers, especially those which allow second-level domain names like .de. There is simply too much uncertainty with using American-hosted domains already and it is

Very well put. If you live long enough or are brought up so, you realise that happiness is entirely a state of mind.

Thank you for that extremely useful explanation. I never did quite understand the scaling of quantum computational power - you just blew my mind! Now, how on earth do you find or restructure problems to solve appropriate for such immense pa

This is most certainly not the case here. Read this: https://www.eff.org/sites/default/files/filenode/rule11motio... Astrolabe deliberately filed a complaint but did not serve the defendants. In a sense, they create a huge legal uncertain

Unless the US specifically has laws about not revealing passwords, all this couple have to do is claim they forgot it. Even if that failed, the most the judge can add to their charge is contempt of court... This is clearly a fishing expedit

I am not aware of a single car or even motor manufacturer for car makers who licenses Tesla technology. Car makers have long had hybrid cars well before Tesla even existed. Some even had prototype pure electrical cars before them too. After

It would be helpful if you could indicate what is missing or what you mean by correctly importing. If there are no detailed Word error messages or diagnostics, perhaps you could ask your lawyer to send you a PDF or paper version, so you c

benologist please stop trying to make it sound as if there is any dependency between your 1 and 2. How can anyone who has ever used the Internet or has even a basic understanding of the Domain Name System believe that it is a registrar's ri

This is science and engineering not statistics. It is not a numbers game or "monkeys on typewriters" or how many bug reports we can file on the same issue to get said issue fixed! At the end of the day, if even ONE person demonstrates scien

The irony is that the US is one of the very few countries in the world that by constitution or legislation requires a separation of church and state. In practice, at every level of its society, this could not be further from the truth.

This is extremely unpleasant given the vast reach of US authorities worldwide, let alone just for entry into the US. Someone could ruin your life based on just your name just by impersonating you or simply having the same name on social net

For those who have not seen it, I highly recommend the documentary "Fat Head (2009)". It covers a wide variety of these issues in great detail but in very entertaining way! Here's a Youtube link to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVEiYw

Agreed. 1, 2 and 4 seem uncontroversial to non-TCP experts like me. But I do think we'd need a lot more re-assurance from old-hand TCP crafters as to whether 3 (TCP Fast Open) makes much sense, let alone worth the huge deployment effort.

The interesting thing about these human-based attempts to defeat individual CAPTCHA-"protected" services is that if they are actually reCAPTCHA or variants, they perform a strong socially useful function! This is because reCAPTCHA solving

Sometimes there is no need to reload. If a CAPTCHA has multiple words, it is likely a reCAPTCHA and therefore at least one of the words will always be easily readable for any normal human. Any half-decent approximation for the other word sh

Your point of view is kind of understandable in isolation... except, the slogan is a based on the economic fact that the vast majority of the wealth and income of the US is held by a mere 1% of its population. The implications of that are m

Caveat: only scanned the structure and read the final chapter. Regarding the final chapter: K&R, like most programming books (especially those for new language) shows pedagogical code, not for productive use. I highly doubt it was eve
