I would be curious to learn how this is done technically: would the "owner" connections and public hotspot wifi connections share the same IP or not? If the IP is shared then there will be some interesting issues to be resolved if

I can't see how this help with the brute force attack: you start with a password and compute hash. The suggested scheme doesn't make it more difficult (i.e. cpu expensive) to compute the resulting hash from a given password than s

This is really simple (I don't write code for Windows for more than 7 years but I still remember it): CHAR - standard C character (one byte) WCHAR - two bytes Unicode character TCHAR - either CHAR or WCHAR depending on your compile

There is no need to have debate - the current internet infrastructure does not allow privacy. Even Tor and over tools don't let you to stay under the radar. And it is not really clear if there are any better ways. At least I haven&#x27

I believe Windows Vista tried to do exactly that: annoy user with security related screens all the time. This didn't go well because people were just clicking "yes" without reading and in the same time everyone was absolutely

I've had very similar experience. I believe it was Oracle 7 and one smart guy tried to install it into the root folder. The only problem was that the install script did 'rm -rf $DESTFOLDER' at the beginning. Luckily for us, t

Just remember that the failure of your startup/project does not mean that you are a failure. In the last years you most likely "merged" yourself with your startup, you need to keep reminding yourself that your are more than

I feel this article assumes that the major war will happen "somewhere else". The last major war caused complete destruction of the economies and infrastructures from Seine to Volga. Today, a major war pretty much means nuclear&#x2

I like the idea but in the last 5-6 years it feels the government is putting itself completely above the law. IRS-gate, Solyndra-gate, Benghazi-gate, ... It just doesn't stop: the Administration lies again and again but nobody get pros

And in the same time, IRS managed to give taxpayer data to FBI. Of course some very specific taxpayers have been included in the data dump: http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2014/06/irs-gave-fbi-1...

It's a valid point. But TFRs are also limited by altitude (3000-4000 feet AGL). So one can dive or drop a bomb from ~0.5NM (10-15 secs). Even with a minute warning, I can't see how VIP can be evacuated out of a building especially

TFRs are just another security theater from post 9/11 era: a typical VIP movement TFR radius is 3-4NM and a big enough plane to carry a real weapon or to be a weapon by itself (e.g. business jet with speeds above 400 knots) will penetr

If you have a spare computer/laptop, then you can watch the traffic on your connection between laptop and router (wireshark or any other tool that can listen to traffic in promiscuous mode). You can probably try it on your laptop as we

Amazon just launched their own music service. I can easily see someone like Microsoft trying to jump in and buy Spotify to create their own version.

There is an advantage in separating "protocol" from "binding" (in this case, "HTTP binding"). While REST is typically explained as an HTTP-only protocol, this is not the only possible "binding". I&#x2

The effective evasion and bots "stupidity" actually come from the lack of cultural context: through school, TV, Internet, etc. humans get a lot of common information that computers don't have yet. For example, even if you nev

It's not clear how one can get the serial number from the drone. ADS-B might be an option not only for tracking violators but also to solve "see-and-avoid" problem too.
