What if we all start attaching files with random content to our e-mails? An extension could do this automatically. Can the output of "dd if=/dev/urandom of=unicorns.pgp bs=1 count=1024" be easily distinguished from a rea

Last summer we listened to music in a rowing boat in a lake in the middle of nowhere in Finland. Streaming from YouTube. It felt somehow wrong. Like "into the wild", with a 20€ unlimited data plan, and the ability to send live video from th

Beautiful :) I didn't know people were moving around such large sums. I saw a 3400 bc bubble, and a 2000+ bc bubble floating out there. I wish I was able to distinguish what was going on directly from the sounds. Those huge bubbles sounded

"At more than one quadrillion floating point operations per second..." - how fast is that when cracking typical passwords or mining bitcoins? If we have an encrypted drive, how long would it take to find the passphrase with it?

You are right, if one sees roots it doesn't mean there aren't other roots. I think the difference is, South Finland was compressed by 1 km of ice during the last ice age, and the ground is pure granite that is blown up using explosives when

It called my attention that in South Finland there are pine trees which apparently are able to grow with their roots barely covered with soil. Some sit directly on hard rock with all their roots visible. I took two photos of this on 2006:

I created a Python migration tool for Wintersmith (nodejs based static blogging): https://github.com/hamoid/Posterous-to-Wintersmith Maybe the code can serve as an example for other migrations.

Friends of my age who were drawn into programming did so probably because when you turned on the (8bit) computer it was waiting for you to write a program. It was the default action. How would an iPad user be naturally drawn into coding? If

I still get their invitations to join a year after closing the account. I don't remember how many times I clicked the leave-me-alone button.

I've been trying to delete individual photos and I think they limit the rate at which you can do this. I feel it's something like 10 photos per hour. If I try to delete more, they just pop back in on my Android phone.

I just found out about http://i-am-cc.org/ They propose releasing your Instagram images as CC. What I don't understand is what effect, if any, will that have on Instagram using your images for creating ads or for other uses. How would a C

From that clip: "Where do you see this going in 5 or 10 years? I see it becoming a totalitarian state. An imperial president (a dictator). Unless we do something." "It doesn't matter if you say 'bomb' or not. Everything is stored now."

'Everyone in US', but not limited to the US, right? Services provided by servers in the States are used by people all around the world. Many communications started in other countries have their recipients in the US. So isn't it more like 'A

Trying to find out which browsers support what audio features I found this site: http://caniuse.com/audio It links to a sound file-format test, where I see Firefox plays only ogg and wav. That made me wonder if one could do mp3 decoding o

I don't know if there is any plan to ever launch for Spanish speaking users, but the name sounds similar to a vulgar word in Spain. Not sure if US-Spanish speaking people would recognize it though.

"3. This is really the tricky part as an attacker can wipe browser cookies at will." No need for an attacker, I do wipe them at will. Every time I close the browser.

Maybe no trickery hidden in there now, but that could change any time. Or sometimes. Or depending on IP, browser or OS.

I did two years ago. Sold my iMac and switched to Linux. I think it didn't have that much influence on Apple, but I feel good about it, I get my stuff done, and that's what counts.

I have only tried the one offered by YouTube, and not recently. I don't know if they have improved the algorithm in this respect, but for what I've seen in the past, the filter often creates a very eerie wobbly effect on the video, an effec
