Also cutting out other forms of transport (e.g. public transport and walking) makes maps pretty useless for me.

I think the parent may be referring to some of the undemocratic elements of the European Council, or the bailout fund that was proposed a while back to be run by a separate body to the ECB.

Best? Probably an infrastructure VPN across databases. Have you database listen on the MPLS link and limit access to the service based on IP addresses and strong authentication. Cheapest? SSH tunnel or openvpn point to point link.

Oh god you poor man. We took a look at using SMB Ledger (the parent of LedgerSMB) years back and after peeling back the covers it just looked horrific both from a security and general code quality perspective. This was around the time of th

I think the article misses the point that some companies (mainly big ones) do, which is bump people's titles up so they can bill customers more. At Mandalorian we don't even have formal job titles as such. It's usually "X will be leading, Y

I think the thing for me that movies.io has that others don't is the top 50. It's a beautifully designed site that gives me access to a whole load of well presented information. I don't even torrent, but I've used movies.io to look for film

Obviously this is a bad move from Microsoft and someone needs a serious talking to in the Norwegian marketing department, but having seen so many pieces on this I can't help feel that it's all being a little overblown, especially bearing in

I wrote a proposal for Tiger Scheme[1] to radically alter the structure of the scheme and change the general direction, in effect a reboot of the scheme. If it's accepted, it'll be a shedload of work with no financial reward and a massive t

My second company (Sense/Net) ran it's second ever event this year, 44Café. It was a one day event alongside the UK's biggest infosec exhibition. We didn't make any money from it (in fact it cost us about $5,000 all in) but we did the event

A few years back I started a project to create rainbow tables for Oracle hashes with friends. The old Oracle hashing algorithm was pretty weak, but used the username as a salt. Within a few weeks we had rainbow tables for lots of default or

As someone that penetration tests a lot of banks it does sometimes make it's way through. Larger and more established banks (at least in EMEA) sometimes tend to use highly distributed systems that all interoperate in very strange ways, whic

It looks interesting but one small thing. I looked into the transferring large files quickly link[1] and saw that they were using netcat and tar to transfer files. This is not necessarily optimal[2], and applying some compression can go a l

If the interrogator has 22 years of 'computer experience' and is asking about specific algorithms I sincerely doubt that they're minimum wage airport security staff.

> the GCHQ beat DH by three years and RSA by four, not decades. Correct. But they kept the fact that they did secret for decades. That's what I meant, apologies if it was ambiguous (I can't actually edit the comment now to fix it).

The NSA is not suspect number one. The Russians have had superb cryptographers for decades, heck GCHQ invented public key cryptography years before Diffie Helmann and denied it's very existence within for decades. Attribution is a bitch. It

When I was last in the US (in 99) I was told I was brave for walking to the mall. It was only a few miles, for some reason this concept of walking was somewhat weird to the locals. To be fair, I was in Jacksonville NC, but I found it odd th

I see where you're coming from, but perhaps a better way is to make it possible to offer discounts for a new app. E.g. Funky App 2 at half price, and to be able to notify users of the app at that new price. The rationale behind this is that

The Dial-up modem sound is something that an entire generation will grow up today having never heard. In fact, there's probably a fair few HN'ers who've never heard it. These sounds are normally lost forever, like the sound of a valve radio

He uses the words new market to describe the thing four times in the article. It's very clear that to him it's a new market. Having said that his definition of new may be different to yours or mine. 5 years may still be new if you've been i

I hate it when Schneier talks about things he knows very little about, because he tends to be listened to and treated as an expert when he might not really know much. This is one of those cases. A lot of what he describes are clearly assump
