Touch screens are not the solution for every problem. I just saw a TV show the other day where the bomb squad was driving a robot with an iPad. Yes, all driving input and finite movement of the robot arms was done on a touch screen. Terri

What's the range on that smartwatch before it is disconnected from your phone?

It's a good thing there's no poorly written PHP in the wild and everyone is really, really good at patching PHP immediately upon update. /s edit: http://blog.ircmaxell.com/2014/12/php-install-statist

Why can't you just ... issue voice commands to your phone?

It's just TOTP, so if they weren't creating a walled 2FA garden you could use any of the available TOTP apps on Windows Phone, but alas...

This precisely. I commend Authy for trying to make 2FA for a wide audience, but security is not easy. Training users is the correct approach. Give an option for those who deeply care about their security. If you're going to grab the in

Because Yubikey is very reasonably priced and they're very open about their design... and don't require you provide any identifying information to own one.

Then why do they need an account or my phone number to do TOTP?

This tweet indicates you're using TOTP, slightly modified from Google's implementation: https://twitter.com/authy/status/498244613766139904 @benmcginnes Yes we are RFC 6238 TOTP compatible. Same a

Why does Authy require I provide my cell phone number and email address? Why do I have to have a user account? This is completely ridiculous. I do not need nor want cloud syncing or backup. You are making Authy a potential target for attack

What is the reason for all of these 2FA apps? This is completely unnecessary. If you're going to offer 2FA, please offer at least the following: * TOTP * Yubikey * SMS If you want to partner with someone and ram unnecessar

No it's not. That does not expose voltage and current. The research paper says they're doing this ... ... by repeatedly reading the following two files: /sys/class/power_supply/battery/voltage_now

So systemd is doing a reverse proxy for Apache in that configuration? Or is it launching Apache on demand like some sort of advanced inetd? Either way, netstat -nlp isn't lying about who owns the port 80 socket. It's a terrible id

You'll often find FreeBSD using less memory to run the same software stack. I also tend to see more intelligent use of swap. I can't comment on the comparison of the filesystem cache performance.

That's on the roadmap. Eventually pkg will auto build only what is necessary to update your custom packages from ports when you do a "pkg upgrade".

Depends on your OS :-)

This also applies to those of you building "template" VMs in VMWare or Xen -- before you save that template please delete the SSH keys in /etc/sshd/ so they are generated on first boot of the deployed template!

well if you don't mind altering the order a bit (syncing to disk before all the apps get SIGTERM or SIGKILL) you can use this mnemonic: Raising Skinny Elephants Is Utterly Boring That's how I remembered it for yea

The Navy uses IRC for ship to ship communications. I've heard someone comment to the effect of "if you see a netsplit when you're in a war zone, prepare for the worst"

I would highly value the ability of someone to use IRC and interact with the authors of the open source software your company is using.

Are house visits by doctors a normal thing in France? I recall being told about it years back and it made me very envious.

Everyone I talked to about it since has said "nobody seems to care enough to bother completing it" It is kind of a niche feature, really.

FreeBSD has not gone quite that far, but there was a PoC for loading new kernels without rebooting. https://www.bsdcan.org/2012/schedule/events/325.en.html
