Static signatures are increasingly pointless as malware is rebuilt often. Heuristics don't work against ransomware because they act like a well behaved program. Search for files, open file, overwrite file. All could be done as non-pr

I'd argue that Catan is much less complex monopoly. Just that most people learn monopoly at a very young age so they never notice the complexity. Monopoly's rules are 6 pages of pure text. Catan's rules are 4 pages with so

It's an LD_PRELOAD so it's likely either: 1. a environmental variable for the user, in which case you just need to clear their rc files. 2. In /etc for all users. In which case you'll just have to remove the file. To g

That is quite a leap to assume root access. A user mode database should have write access only to partitions that are mounted noexec. That would make getting root privileges quite hard even on a vulnerable kernel. Also with proper hardeni

Tripwire is just file integrity. It can help to detect the installation of a backdoor. But that doesn't help at all if the backdoor is just memory resident (or installs at kernel level). It also doesn't help if the attacker bre

The problem with this is crapware vendors existed before extensions were available. They were dirty hack modifications to the programs. They would introduce all sorts of bugs and since they modified the actual software they were a pain to

An abundance of energy would result in new technologies, engineering and infrastructure to use it. Water shortages could be addressed with large scale desalination. Shipping/transportation would become real cheap without significant

I agree completely with your last point. I accept basic utilities are granted a monopoly, but with that comes common access. Maryland also doesn't want the NSA to leave since federal money is a huge part of the state economy. Also de

I disagree, the future of windows is why ReactOS is important. For the same reason DosBox is important, to run legacy apps. 10 years from now, how are you going to run those XP apps that aren't compatible with even windows 7, let alon

I don't consider trackers "well behaved". My reasons for adblock: 1. Security. I don't mind static image ads because the security implications are minor. But running third party code without accountability is scary. (

So I did gay vs lesbian and I was confused why there was a big spike in 2010 for gay that has since dropped off. Is this an anomaly in their sampling? Also Obama's numbers have really dropped compared to Bush: http://porngr

You're right that audience data is going to be full of the obvious. But it's also good for watching trends, before they go bust. A number of genres (e.g. superheroes) have cycles of growing, being massively popular, then dying o

Doesn't relativity say there is no such thing as fixed coordinates? That it all depends on frame of reference.

It's been 60 years since nuclear power was invented, so in 10 years it'll be available for mass market? I'd also like my watch form plane. What if it's so energy intensive that a future dyson sphere can only power it on

DNScrypt only protects from your host to your nameserver. Your nameserver can still be poisoned as it queries other nameservers. dnssec protects mostly from poisoning between nameservers. It does little to protect between a host and their

The notion of "control" is silly, you will still be the captain of the car, just not the driver. What if the wetware system kills 100 times as many people, should you still be able arbitrarily override the automated driver? I alr

I think the costs of administration would exceed the payments. We're fine with bureaucratic jobs now because we need employment numbers, but those jobs aren't producing anything real. Look at the VA, it employs half as many peop

But that's exactly the point of universal income. You don't pay them for idleness, you pay them regardless. You just don't pay them enough for their desires, just their needs. All those things you want cost money to verify

The truth is I/O is much slower then networking. Many LCD displays do image processing which results in it being several frames behind the one the GPU is currently pushing out. So between your desktop and your monitor could be 70ms o

Driverless trucks is a real opportunity that could save a lot of money in shipping. But it could be exploited. If a person walks out in front of a truck, the automated truck better stop. Which an unguarded truck would become easy to rob w

The reason for banning electronic devices during take-off and landing is because of EM interference, not because of distraction. If you want to ban distractions you need to ban books, sudoku, and noisy kids too, the electronic bit is immat

They're only valid if you can own that email address and The only one that looks valid there is the last n@ai, since apparently ai actually has an mx record. The first two are legal by rfc but not allowed by the individual providers.

Have you tried setting Quick-Edit for your command line? The right-click copy/paste works well enough (though not nearly as good as a linux terminal). But the highlighting is still garbage.

Terminal emulators should be expected to deal with a lot of untrusted data, such as when you ssh to another machine. With all the context parsing in this, there is a large attack surface. I hope thought has been put into how to handle thi
