That may be true. But OS X has the better hardware.

I have bound it to alt+space and use it for everything. Try binding it to a keyboard shortcut and just using it for a bit. It quickly becomes your extension brain.

Sadly this breaks down horribly the moment you have multiple clients open in parallel (e.g. desktop and laptop).

I really wish CPU vendors would simply name their products after relevant benchmarks. E.g. 'Intel PassMark 14490/135W'. Or 'AMD PassMark 9140/125W'. Sounds nearly as fancy, makes the same amount of sense to the

Interesting data but worst presentation ever. It's tabular data. Put it in a plain old HTML table so we can make sense of it.

There's no reason that has to be insecure (depending on your definition of "secure"). There's also no reason the user shouldn't be allowed to make that choice for himself.

they wanted to be able to leave their desktop logged in, move to their laptop, and not have the conversation pop up there Did someone outside the XMPP-bubble really request that? Why would you possibly want to not see the entire convers

I don't understand what you mean. How does having two clients connected rule out "being really secure"?
762.
by moe 13y ago
Well, try it with two clients simultaneously connected... If you're lucky the 3 clients will negotiate down to disabling the encryption. But normally they'll just engage in a mutual, infinite re-send loop...

This works as long you only chat from a single device. Try switching between e.g. laptop and desktop and everything goes up in flames.

This comes at a funny time. Just today I searched for a secure (end-to-end encrypted), multi-device capable IM service. It does not seem to exist. You are forced to pick either proper multi-device support (GTalk, Skype, Hipchat) or end-

It is one thing for a currency issuer to destroy an economy; it is another for anyone who spins their CPU to be able to cheat or engage in targeted attacks. Ever heard of HFT?

I don't understand all the apologism I would recommend to familiarize yourself with how bitcoin works on a technical level before mowing down more strawmen. Also: Do you really think all countries of the world will agree on one central 'b

No. It's not like saying that at all. All it means is that you can trivially have any number of wallets and it's up to you how you use them. Same as with cash.

You can easily anonymize your coins, either by tumbling or by using any number of wallets that are not associated with you.

/opt is justified. /srv is indeed NIH (redundant with /var/ whatever ).

Last I checked Google+ was the one spyware that you couldn't get rid of even when you rooted the phone. I.e. once you disable G+ all sorts of unrelated apps will hang/force close. Admittedly it's been a long time since I tried, perhaps they

I don't have a Nexus though, does it come pre-installed? Not only does it come pre-installed but you also can't uninstall it.

Whether we like it or not, that's where we're heading. A few governments will try to add guard-rails, but that will merely cause delays (cf. the EU "Public Display"-law that delayed streetview). At the end of the day the always-on features

What is the ultimate driver of demand for Bitcoin? Free instant global money-transfers that can not be charged back and are optionally anonymous? And you ask for demand ?! What legal business has any particular reason to accept Bitcoin

Well, all your concerns may very well be provably correct, from a purely academic perspective. I just think the question you keep missing is: Does it matter in practice? Our entire world runs on imperfect systems. Can we really already tell

Is there some reason to think a more "resilient" protocol is even possible? I'm not a bitcoin researcher but the first thing I'd have to note is that so far it's holding up not bad at all. At non-trivial scale and under permanent attack.

And you seriously assume an attacker with that kind of resources (be it millions or billions) would be dumb enough not to realize that a crash of bitcoin would merely spawn the next, more resilient crypto currency? That would have to be qui
