I'd understand the headline if it was a pop-up for those using the Steam Client on Windows. As it is, it looks like they're just using their website to advertise. Not really targeting Windows users specifically.

The interesting thing about that first bit, is that on recent versions of OSX, when using Chrome, you have to use Java 6. Java 7 is 64 bit only, and Chrome on OSX is only 32 bit. So you can't use a Java7 plugin in Chrome. From what I can ga

I made the switch just recently to making my perosnal site HTTPS only. It was surprisingly easy to do with nginx. StartSSL gives free 1 year certificates - although each certificate is good for only one sub-domain and the root. I do wish wi

I'm not sure I'd trust something as mission-critical as DNS to a business which doesn't appear to have a viable business plan. I noticed you're suggesting the freemium route - any details on how that's planning to work? Buying more record s

Are people still surprised by Google's lack of support? I think one of the messages here is to take note of any support codes (account #'s or PINs in this case) and store them outside of the service that requires them.

Given this wasn't related to the RIAA/MPAA (given that this wasn't a US case), I wouldn't lay the blame directly at their door.

It sometimes amazes me that despite all the debates about any "decline in quality" and despite the continuously expanding community, when the chips are down we can still band together.

One thing most people haven't picked up on is how the 'terms' of the first sale typically include that the textbook can't be imported into the US without prior consent. That could mean a way out without actually solving anything - ruling it

They do have an MX record present, so it's possible that they still use email for some legitimate purpose. Bear in mind they've had the domain since 1994 apparently (according to a WHOIS lookup), that length of time makes it unlikely that i

IIRC that case was based entirely in the US. As somehow Amazon UK seem to be involved in this case too, it's possible that those agreements don't apply to this case.

For the Header Keys (which I believe this is what the attack is going after - as that is what the password unlocks), TC does use a Salt. See [0] And for slow hashing schemes that is a fair point, but when you're looking at file decryption,

As I understand it, it attempts to decrypt a TC volume (and any hidden volume contained within) by brute-forcing the password and using a dictionary of some kind. Essentially it just tries to open the volume with many passwords in quick suc

Couple of questions if anyone has bought it and can answer: 1) Extending the fog of war metaphor, do places gradually 'fade' or 'grey-out' or similar the longer you are away from the area? Or is it a case of once-seen always seen? 2) This s

Part of me is cringing that each Patent gets its own tag, given that it's likely there won't often be more than a few topics per patent.

It won't matter (as much) for Firefox, as Mozilla have an 'extended support' version for Enterprises. It used to be 3.6, but recently it moved to 10. As the 'enterprise' version uses a different update stream, the only updates will be secur

The most serious claim in this article, that hasn't been mentioned in the comments so far is that although a Judge ordered the Casino to cash the remaining chips, and the Casino has claimed it won't appeal, they will only cash the chips if

Yes, it is more work but also in terms of the bandwidth to serve these awards via their own service it would be far more expensive (not to mention hard to maintain reliability of service). Yes, I suspect most of us could pull a basic stream

I'd love to know what happened to the iTunes library of Steve Jobs when he died. He undoubtably will have had many purchases of music, books, movies etc. He was adamant that the physical medium was dead. I would assume that his library is n

I agree with your point, but your specific example is flawed as Apple did not apply for .app.
