You can also add an exception for a blocked site by marking it green and clicking on the opened padlock in the umatrix panel. No need to nuke a city to get a fly.

The university I attended had females comprise 90% of all students in computer science, and over half of all students in engineering fields. Anecdotes are fun.

Anecdotal experience: I switched browsers on android because android's default browser kept opening map links in google map. Firefox mobile didn't seem to suffer from that issue. While google's tight integration lead to a pos

Are the files categorized? While I can't mirror the whole thing, I'm more than willing to archive the categories that are relevant to my interests. I think the single point of failure issue can be easily remedied if people could e

I personally find this to be better and more honest. If we as customers don't own something, companies shouldn't use words like "your" and "ownership" to mislead people.

Thank you for the detailed response. I don't have any working knowledge on how bitcoin is practically used as a currency, so your comment provides insight that's very valuable to someone like me. Zero-confirmation transaction seem

If I may ask, do those 4 cents include bitcoin's transaction fee? How well have bitcoin transactions worked for you so far? I've been pondering starting a cheap service that accepts bitcoin (too cheap for CCs and not worth the has

Not necessarily. For issues like the one discussed in this thread, a simple ssh-style "trust initially" would have sufficed, and would have prevented the malicious installer from running. Note that I'm not proposing this as a

Perhaps we need a letsencrypt for signing packages on walled-garden systems.

Agreed with your statement in general. I once added a [citation needed] to a non-controversial technical statement that was false by definition only to have the edit reverted. When I asked for an explanation, the editor replied that the tag

I don't think a person should be held liable in this case because the solution was clearly labeled as a toy, and not as a serious solution. If this person presented it as a real solution, however, then yes I believe he should be held l

Non-ev HTTPS should loose its green color. The green padlock should only be displayed with ev certs.

Given a choice between a safe web by default and nice looking urls, I'd choose the former. Furthermore, the real problem is that the green lock is displayed for https sites rather than those with extended verification. Http should be r

That would work for a country that can't defend itself or retaliate. I'm not sure that applies to any of the three mentioned.

My bet is that the few deaths that will initially occur, will be due to stupidity, rather than the ability to fix your property. If people thought like you did, we wouldn't have kitchen knifes.

That component you refer to was necessary for the safe usage of the vehicle. If it fails, bad things would happen (and they did). Having control over your tractor does not necessarily kill people. Death is not inherently implied by farmers

Not the author, but I similarly support eliminating (well, severely limiting) intellectual property protections and make use copyright at the same time (GPL term enforcement). With current laws, it's one reasonable way to get close to

Let people run their own software. If they kill someone, hold them liable. If deaths become endemic, then consider locking them down. As many comments on these stories demonstrate, farmers have as much valid reasons to have control over t

Targeted attacks are hard enough to fend off on systems that are fully up-to-date. What chance does an out-of-date locked-down phone have? If you're not allowed to control and secure your phone yourself, the next best thing is to go wi
