There's simply no difference between, say, Wendell Berry and Pat Robertson, C.S. Lewis and Jerry Falwell, Dostoevsky and Fred Phelps. Is this sarcasm? Maybe it's too late for me... Robertson, Falwell, and Phelps will be rightfully lost in

So let's say everyone on earth gets my search history and purchase history. What bad things will happen to me? Privacy is valuable because is respects human dignity, not because it protects you from bad things. I imagine nothing bad would

How would I know the hash? I'd have to save the individual key(hash) for every file I upload? Also, if I wanted to know if you had a specific file (and I had access to all your encrypted files) this would be trivial, correct?

So I can encrypt a file, upload it, and if someone else encrypts the exact same file... they can decrypt my uploaded file? I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this.

New youtube videos are still being transcoded to h.264 (among the other formats). I don't think anything with that is changing short-term.

The main issue with WebM is that the player doesn't support all the features that their Flash player does (e.g. advertising and annotations). And this will not necessarily make the web less patent encumbered. Just like companies extract pat

If Oracle would be generous enough to offer it under a compatible license, I have little doubt it would be very welcome, despite some of its architectural incompatibilities. Oracle is developing Btrfs for Linux, I'm not sure they have any

About six months ago I made a Mac app to play their radio streams, so that I wouldn’t have to use the web player on my Mac. I recently polished it up a bit, and began selling it in the Mac App Store. I'm going to sidestep all the obvious

Looks less cluttered? It is a design decision so you're not going to get a universally accepted answer.

Perhaps they figure it is better for users who need to reach their email while offline to use Google's offline web app occasionally instead of moving to POP/IMAP altogether.

the biggest question/implication of this change I see is evaporation of any business model (as in 'the ads are gone'). You can use Gmail with AdBlock or through a POP or IMAP client, too. I think Google will survive.

All these news discussion sites (Slashdot, Digg, Reddit, HN, hell even 4chan) started out very good when the communities were small and then they grew to massive size and lost their personalities, got more generalized, were gamed more frequ

Probably not at all (the Arch userbase isn't much of a target). That being said, pacman doesn't implement package-signing last time I checked so it certainly would be easier to pass off bogus packages than with other distros.

Any system is penetrable with enough motivation or resources. It's just a cost of doing business. Be happy you're under the radar, Sony wasn't so lucky.

Does anyone really investigate this stuff? Not unless there's a ton of money involved or some important asset is at risk. This type of thing happens much more frequently than they can manage so they prioritize by severity.

In McAfee's case, his Rodeo paradise -- on which he's spent millions -- drew only a few modest bids. The home, which included the airstrip and hangar, sold for $525,000 to a couple from the Washington, D.C., suburbs. "It's a little less th

Where did this improvement come from? If I had to guess, I'd say almost entirely from safety improvements in automobiles. It seems like this perfect little engineering problem (reduce # of deaths/serious injury of people in our cars) whic

I often wondered if making the non-free stuff harder to use (Flash, Java, etc) will push free software devs to improve the free stuff. It might be good for Clojure and other Java projects to work towards having full control over their platf

If this is about mobile patent suits, why is Amazon included? I know Amazon pays Microsoft licensing to use Linux on their servers, but that has nothing to do with mobile.

Sure, there are workbooks you can buy if you don't have access to a psychologist or therapy group. The only catch is that there is nobody to push you to go through the exercises and you won't have the benefit of external feedback from a cou
