I have to disagree with you here, specifically concerning the Script Your Car talk at 30C3. (In which the speaker had lots of experience in embedded linux security and no experience in car electronics, so he decided to hack the linux-driven

Offense seems way easier and cheaper than defense. (I'd like to say similar things about US military operations.)

Honest question, what are decent tools to find bugs like this in C code nowadays? I was saddened to read that gcc cannot check for unreachable code.

Make it live on the web. Better yet, make it live on a device. Two buttons, button presses are valid only once a day, LED confirmation, USB read-out. Make the case beautiful, done. Standard AAA Battery will live for years, data can be writt

The bad part about eBooks is that they always pile up. They are probably the most non-read books in existence. Or why should I bother reading 16 eBooks on the same topic, when reading a single good one would be the sane solution (the one I&

While the front-end to Optimus may be less than optimal, it's quite well done internally. I came across it when I hooked an external GPU to my laptop. This is possible via ExpressCard with a passive (mechanical) adapter, and it even ho

It's lateral and vertical acceleration. You'd have to build rail tracks and roads surprisingly flat and straight to travel across them at above 100 m/s (200mph, 300 km/h). We're talking lateral accelerations of 5-10

I kinda want this as a Podcast. Or do you monetize exclusively via YouTube? PS: Also the "subscribe" page can, for now, just link to the youtube channel. At least I could subscribe there.

1474€ for Germany (VAT included here). That's not actually expensive, it's just more than I paid for my Korean 1440p displays.

Munroe did not mention Skype. Tons of people have accounts there, and it transmits files like ICQ did back in the day.

I am using Glacier to store a backup of most of my personal data. This includes my home directory, the most relevant photos I have taken as jpeg, my gmvault and that's about it. I do not copy over any movies, music, raw photos or so

Purely for the sake of stability, I think it's a lot more useful to look at the classical economic indicators like the Consumer Price Index. Curiously enough, there is no gold found in any of the standard market baskets ... and since w

Also the only alternative for formatting content was HTML, which invited people to use weird fonts in funny sizes. I think something like markdown would have benefited the ecosystem.

I think Evernote is most important as a showcase of how much we have transcended file systems. Mobile devices have abandoned them, and through cross-platform apps like Evernote, this notion finds its way back to the desktop. Back in the day

Font rendering seems a bit off on the site, and font choice seems off in the design. Here's how it looks on a rather vanilla Windows 7 with Chrome: http://i.imgur.com/hq8wZzY.png

That used to be true, but considering that hard drive transfer rates cap out around 200 MByte/s, you'd have to send a large bunch of drives that must be read and written in parallel to be faster than a network connection.

Consider that PS4 will be sold for a couple years with identical specifications. Manufacturing cost will drop while yield increases, memory gets cheaper and so on. Eventually they will move to a smaller case, further integrate chips shorten

Just to add another keyboard to the list, the KBT Pure is a Cherry MX version of the HHKB2 layout, and available for around $100. It's well built, compact and you can reach all keys without moving your hands too much. Good key feedback
