Including the Tor project in this lawsuit is obviously out of ignorance, and won't succeed. Having said that, personally, I would just attack the hidden service directly. It's not particularly difficult to censor a node by DoS. Mo

It seems so obvious that government communication networks should be built and run by a domestic company. Isn't that the standard in most developed countries?

A minor correction: POSIX only mandates CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_MONOTONIC is optional (POSIX Advanced Realtime Extensions). Linux provides both as well as CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, and some BSD like FreeBSD provide CLOCK_MONOTONIC_PRECISE. For

I wouldn't have guessed these functions were so popular. I think those people who need them, need them often, but they are very few, so standards committees just ignore their needs. If I have time this summer, I'll implement the G

The site asked for her email credentials, and she obliged. Many people wouldn't see a problem with Johnboltonoffice.com asking for your password to Google.com. It's a consequence of not knowing how the Internet works.

There is only one free-as-in-beer FDE project that has survived the last decade (loop-AES), out of dozens. The one other survivor (dm-crypt) is backed by serious money (the Linux Foundation). It's safe to assume the odds won't get

I'll mention my theory of what happened with TrueCrypt here, because it's relevant to a search for alternatives. I believe TrueCrypt was started as a student project, and was no longer worth the effort to the developer(s). For a s

Why does everyone have this aversion to giving the OpenBSD team the funding they deserve? One reason may be that donations to the OpenBSD Foundation are not tax-deductible in the US.

My theory is that Bitcoin is used by the elite in China as just another way of transferring money out of the country. Buying Bitcoin from a Chinese exchange, and selling it on an American exchange, allows you to transfer money between count

I think you hit the nail on the head: the problem is education. Generally, a C programmer who took the time to understand integer types and their behaviour won't make mistakes with either signed or unsigned types. But making unsigned t

I strongly disagree with the rationale for not supporting unsigned integer types by default. In fact, I think unsigned should be the default, and the advice on the Escher Technologies blog is harmful. Other than that, Nimrod has been a plea

The matrix visual is genius! I'll be using your extension going forward. Thanks for the great work. You may want to consider setting up a Gittip account or something similar so people have the option of supporting your work.

The pseudo-code for cross-correlation implements the naive method, which is O(M*N), M and N being the lengths of the arrays being correlated. I think it might just have been used to illustrate, but just in case, the proper way of computing
