This goes in the same bucket of fun that contains :(){ :|:& };: Don't run that on a shell unless you enjoy having to physically reboot servers.

You don't think that screwing around and then rubbing it in your partner's face is abuse?
153.
by madaxe 13y ago
Yes, and those people are the same folks who give women who are violent or abusive to men a free pass, as women can't be violent against men as men are so much stronger than women.

He was lying. Watched the press conference. The insane degree of hesitation and very-careful-word-picking he did are not the hallmarks of a man speaking sooth.

If you're billing £2m a month, it's a big difference.

Sure, done.

Aye - our clients tend to be of the bigger, more established ilk, and as a result tend to either bring whatever odd solution they've selected along to the party. Regularly find ourselves integrating with Barclays and HSBC's Arcot-

Reliability and redundancy. We always recommend that each client has at least two PSPs enabled, with PayPal typically as the fallback/secondary. SagePay have a long and sad history of "we broke it", which is only just made up

Never mind PayPal, they're more expensive than the commodity players in the UK, like SagePay. Stripe's strategy is all about developer-led adoption, and their approach to their tech belies this. Unfortunately, in reality, develope

'What is love? What is creation? What is longing? What is a star?' thus asks the last man, and blinks. The earth has become small, and on it hops the last man, who makes everything small. His race is as ineradicable as the flea; t

Renouncing citizenship is not tax dodging. It's renouncing citizenship. Believe it or not, plenty of folks who have renounced their US citizenship have done so not only for tax reasons, but also because they have the freedom to choose

It does. I know plenty of Americans or ex-Americans around the globe who tell folks they're Canadian. I'm afraid to say your government is making you intensely unpopular, pretty much everywhere.

They are. I know more than a few ex-US cits who're now exiled in Uruguay (they're pretty uncooperative, which is great for a tax haven), and all of them have a net worth well in excess of $1bn. So it's not the 0.1%, it's

OpenStreetMap have pretty good data, actually, not just for Belarus, but also all sorts of areas in the ex-USSR where google/apple/nokia can only manage a blank space, or a 1 point per 10km vector road. Saved my bacon repeatedly w

No, I know you didn't - but it could have been taken that way, just chose not too. "People" falls under "weasel words" and is a handy debate tactic for framing your opponent's argument without overtly doing so.

That makes sense - although we already do this, and it's not limited to fingerprinting - includes biometric information, including iris imaging and so-forth. You'd also be amazed at just how many people still make it over in the b

Could you please explain why? How will fingerprinting people entering the country legally through registered ports combat people entering the country illegally in the back of lorries?

OK - I respect you. I find myself not infrequently disagreeing with your positions, but you more often than not argue them cogently and with objective evidence - as above. Actually, I take your point, in its entirety. I can be quite the lit

I too have family in LE. All of them have/had major power issues - one joined SWAT, and beat his wife, my aunt, until she left him. Another takes pride in telling tales about shocking abuse of suspects in his custody. Thinks it's

Fair enough, and you're right - I just have my THF on a bit too tight these days. Although I must have one final jab :) >In general you should avoid assuming that large, sprawling agencies like the NSA have a single goal. I don&#x

I think political discourse is important , and smart folks should engage in it. HN I'd actually say has better discourse than just about anywhere else online, as hackers, more often than not, are open to revising their opinions and id

You're quite right, actually - he didn't promise anything about drones - as at that point they didn't officially exist, most likely.

Sure, but I just can't understand why they would be recommending to the general public that they improve their crypto, as it goes directly against the NSA's interests.

by madaxe 13y ago
Aye, aware of LWE, and it's interesting stuff, and understand the theory as to why ECC is secure, and why DH key exchanges are increasingly not so. I'm just inherently suspicious of anything the NSA are in favour of, as their focu

by madaxe 13y ago
I'd say "switch to ECC", but the fact that the NSA are strong proponents of it rather makes one wonder why.
