This is great news. Security experts have been trying to beat everyone over the head with how fundamentally broken and untrustworthy this system is. Now that the theoretical has been proven, maybe we can take a more serious look at moving o

Flagged ---- seriously? With a title containing 'motherfucker' ----- you should have known it wasn't totally serious.

Ugh, linkbait of the worst kind. Second sentence: "Well, not really. But I could be, and so could you, thanks to a plan by the US military to create fake online personae to spread pro-US propaganda." (Yes, the now-old story about the person

I find that listening to interesting music helps. This stimulates my brain just enough to prevent my mind from wandering. Otherwise, yeah, I end up thinking about my unfinished business, or think of "one more thing to try real quick" and th

Cracked software is pre-patched. Otherwise, they just distribute keys, and use the software unmodified. Xcode and gdb aren't a factor in piracy.

Make no mistake, they're fundamentally wrong.

It's like that wise tigerblood celebrity once said - "Can't is the cancer of happen." We need less bi-polar, and more bi-winning up in here.

Can you use their tool without submitting my UDID? If not, can I opt out (other than by not using the app)? I like your app, but that is essentially a tracking supercookie. Actually if I am not mistaken, it is against the app store TOS to s

Why do you tie my flight searches with my UDID and submit it to third parties like flurry?

I bought some of these books because you hear the same titles over and over again, so I had to see what the fuss was about. Code Complete was one of them. In no way did I find it enlightening. I found it to be straightforward, dense, and bo

Guessing most of the non-private-office voters are manager types. Private office for me, but not working from home. I like the social environment, but there are times when I like to close the door. This could be because I don't want to hear

Some governments are good at running some things. The US government seems to screw up everything. I don't know why this is, but if public health care ever becomes reality, and it is anything like the DMV, or any government services in Calif

I don't know about going to europe, but going to Canada is not impossible. It isn't an open door - you need skills and/or a job offer, or you need to be in school. However, once you are there, you can apply for your health care card immedia

This seems like weird PR engineering to me. Everyone and their dog can get the dev seeds for free and without an NDA if they want them. You'd run into trouble if you disclosed something based off of a pirated/torrented seed, but all you hav

Although that is the general idea, 2.8MHz/1bit and 44kHz/16bit is an apples to orange comparison. 1-bit uses DSD encoding, under which the 1 bit is a delta. It is not widely used, and few if any studios record this way. 44/16 uses tradition
