Respect for your privacy is coded into our DNA, and we built WhatsApp around the goal of knowing as little about you as possible: You don’t have to give us your name and we don’t ask for your email address. We don’t know

Kudos to you for keeping this vulnerability secret and waiting for a fix. You've been waiting for a fix for almost three months, and without much of a response from the side of Tinder. And the latter I think is even more frustrating th

Schneier, a non-governmental security researcher, was asked by the representatives to hold a meeting with them. He suggested to hold it in a secure meeting room. They tell him that he's not allowed in there. And you're blaming Sch

For your entire disk though. If you only turn it on for your Personal folder, it does nothing to prevent this, and will in fact only give you a false sense of security.

This almost sounds like they should take away his Nobel prize immediately. Abusing the spotlight to promote his own journal is just ridiculous. (Open access != free) Bonus points for getting the Nobel prize through publications in those jou

So basically this is the inverse of swap. Using memory to make disk reads/writes faster, instead of using disk to make more memory. If Linux is consistently doing this, why would you still need a swap partition?

An incredibly thoughtful and eloquent set of speeches (already!) about the revelations of Snowden, Manning and Assange, how they came about, and what the implications are for the future. He not only takes the negative outraged position, but

This article is being hypocritical in itself. The main reason that the US is losing face is not because it can't maintain the hypocritical position it had before. The main reason is that most of the revealed behaviour of the NSA is eit

Even so, it is still a very weak security layer that you are adding on to something that is already very secure. Does that really make it less secure? Now running SSH on a different port is an even weaker obscurity layer, but still, it stil

How are you going to log in to your shell, with your environment, without a daemon that has the suid bit? A user can never install such an sshd without having root permissions at some point. If you run ssh on a static port, then it really d

There are 250+ journals that have cancer growth as part of their field? That shows you the problem right there. There is absolutely no way that a researcher in that field can keep up with publications in all of those journals.

Legal restrictions on content are almost always issues on the client side, otherwise they should not be made available at all. Consider for example the blocking of sites in the UK, or the blocking of the PirateBay website in the Netherlands

A draft is not an implementation. And an implementation in browsers is not an implementation in providers or webservers. This is a very good way to make people aware of legal blocking, and to make sure that it is adopted.

I bet you they are really happy you submitted this smack in the middle of the holiday of their main employee/volunteer :-). Messages to their volunteer address get a vacation message that they're away until September 1st.

People have thought about this, and Sealand actually hosted a very secure datacenter. The problem is that you have to connect up to the Internet somewhere, and they can always get you there. Either tapping and listening in on sessions, or j
