Yawn. Paywall. But meshnets are a very interesting area of research. It can only be a good thing to remove the main gatekeepers (ISPs) out of the equation. I wonder if you could take advantage of the opening up of various whitespace spectru

...And what happens when we no longer need cows? It's not going to be happy fun time for the species, because as soon as there's not a reason to breed them then we'll have a few cows kicking around in zoos and that's it.

It is entirely up to a country whether they recognise you as a citizen or not and there's no international limit on them. You could, depending on the country, collect as many as you want.

Any service that acts as an oauth provider but which doesn't use 2 factor is being grossly negligent, and should be avoided.

Dynamic before, good long stretch after (mainly because it feels good). Stretching to increase flexibility is also a little misleading, everyone at every age is flexible, but we have inbuilt safeguards where our brain sets a maximum range o

Good they're being proactive here, but two things: 1) I'm sick of going through this password reset crap every month or so. Please lets get rid of passwords. 2) Could Evernote please look at some sort of oauth based signin for mobile device

Ok, so it's not some Martian's door handle (never thought it was). For me that doesn't in any way detract from the "Holy crap, I'm looking at a photo of rocks on another planet " awe of the whole situation.

Wait... wasn't this basically the plan they came up with in The Matrix? ... I don't recall that working out too good... Seriously; while it's tempting to think of grand plans like this, I think that meddling in ecosystems is what got us int

I'm sure it must have been remarked that "gun safety" is somewhat a contradiction in terms. Also, that gun crime is by and large an economic problem rather than a technical one; remove the incentive and the vast majority of it (should) go a

I've had a fair few experiences with various companies where normal channels fail and the only way to get prompt action is to use twitter, or a similar public channel. It's a pretty sorry state where the only way to be taken seriously is to

You've got to watch this... Apache typically limits this to localhost, but if you use squid as a reverse proxy (quite common) then you can see this easily being exposed since all requests will appear to come from the local machine.

Given that he supposedly cracked secure computers, which I would hope was no simple matter, the US shouldn't be extraditing him to face prison. They should give him a job.

I kinda feel sorry for Marissa Mayer, the internet collective has put a lot on her. I can see why, many great and well loved services have faced death by yahoo over the years. Clearly people do still care about the future of yahoo (or at le

As automation picks off the low skilled jobs we need to seriously start to raise the level of skill in the workforce. Trouble is that will take money, motivation and won't see results in an election cycle so I doubt anything will happen. I

When I went to visit my then girlfriend's family in Russia a few years ago there was what was known as the $100 rule - basically that nobody ever left the house without $100 US in their pocket, because that amount would be enough to get you

If you use the FB app, it will associate your mobile phone number with your account (and make it publicly visible unless you change this default). Remove it, and then a few weeks/months later it'll magically appear. Basically, just don't us

Personally I think that this could be the perfect niche for Google+ as the Facebook for grown-ups and a career networking tool. Especially now they've started hooking up author attribution into search results.
