Next generation P2P apps is one great addition. Though we've yet to see it in the wild, the theory is that you don't need to port forward any more (just make allowances in the Firewall). Will come with it's own set of securit

Not being around as your family grows up means that they have less emotional support when things go wrong. If he had worked less and earned less, then suddenly things fail, he may have had a better relationship with his partner to say hey,

High prices for equipment like this (over $7k I read somewhere) http://www.mobisante.com/ There's a less expensive thermal imager in development at http://muoptics.com , so I don't see why the principle

Fair enough. It's true that I have bias, my wealthier friends who give birth are 'over-educated and academic', and the understanding of a natural birth is a given, while ideally being as close as possible to a good hospital i

That's a very 20th century view of birthing positions and certainly not in poorer countries. Clean equipment, good pre-natal care and general excellent health plus some good luck are needed more. http://www.midwiferytoday.co

No points for climbing those stairs when the escalators are down? They are the deepest subway I've even been in (also the most beautiful, goes without saying).

We had an old CGI host recently compromised for bitcoin mining, a southern China IP had installed a bot: 100% CPU usage for a couple of hours before we noticed. Maybe a few cents here and there for very little effort on their part?

Instead of bringing the conversation down to a question of pretty-woman-duped-the-gullible-man, which isn't productive for anyone, I'm sure this could have been achieved many other ways, e.g 'Leaked new Tesla car' or &qu

That's a good point. Though keys we use were generated back before Symantec bought PGP - is it more reasonable to expect that files encrypted with Symantec's version might be tamper-able, rather than keys generated might be?

It's fairly easy to get a good working PGP system on OSX - Symantec makes it obscure to get but it works well, at least for file encryption with options available in the Finder menu. https://www4.symantec.com/Vrt/o

"Powered by WebRTC" means, to me, "we aren't going to charge you PBX prices" and "no need to install 3rd party software that may or may not work for each of your agents". If this has a competitive pricing

It's illegal to not declare if you have more than $10k USD when crossing borders. All the custom forms I have seen around the world have something along these lines, in various amounts and currencies.

I'm looking for a clever designer to kickstart a MacPro case - that beautifully fits in your lovely black computer on the desktop along with slots for drives and cables. Could be quite a new thing for the independent accessory makers.
