Clearly its based on his deep and extensive 30 year work experience as a information security and cryptology developer at Apple. Additionally, I believe Comey was the first person to jailbreak the original iPhone. (sarcasm)

Great, so we end up with another executive branch of the government that also has judicial oversight and the ability to prosecute? Rhetoric aside, if the Supreme Court rules in favor of the FBI in this matter, we, the people, have created a

That may be true in the US, and there may be legal ways to get the US government or US banks to exchange old notes for new notes, but good luck outside of the US finding someone who will trade old US currency for something of value today, o

Basically, the article is stating to change the User-Agent to GoogleBot or Bing or whatever other crawler UA you'd prefer. While that's doable, that's something that is easily detectable and prevented, as all of the big crawl

Well the question would be, who gets to dictate the size/scope of the project and the rate charged to the government? Is any person outside of Apple really qualified to make that claim? It's not open source code, so Apple could ma

This would not be a "freedom of speech" issue, as it's not preventing speech (which is what the 1st amendment protects). It's compelling (arguably) a significant amount of labor / work, that in the end results i

This is a language issue. We ignore it in English, because it's a widely encountered error. In other languages, such as those that repeat for indicating plural (ie, the Malay family of languages), this would be glaring to speakers of t

I wouldn't say that Oracle won, as I don't believe Google has given up nor do I believe they have exhausted the legal tactics/maneuvers available to them. I fully believe this case will end up in front of the supreme court, a

I'd also like to point out that it's completely legal to own and to fly with firearms in the US. Finding a gun doesn't mean they found a terrorist. It simply means they likely found someone who forgot to check it. It makes th

You get diminishing returns, of course, on any kind of technology. You would just basically partition this data out to a 1000 different clusters then, each capable of supporting 1 million writes/second. That would be done through an al

I didn't say it was bleak. The difference is that on Linux/OSX you don't need to install extra tools like mysysgit/cgywin or a different terminal emulator (ie, Cmndr or other 'Terminal' replacement on OSX), bec

Unless it has changed, Cmder is just simply a VTTY for Windows, similar to/replacing cmd.exe from Microsoft. I don't believe it includes, out-of-the-box support for Unix tool chains. You would need to install Cygwin tools, or simi

Actually, no. If they provide cross-platform support, open source it, and make it easily pluggable into existing scripting toolchains (ie, Selenium WebDriver or some such), then I'll call it a modern and open browser. Open source isn&#
