Double tap is probably not good enough. Maybe a swipe pattern? Left left right right or something of that nature?

You're missing the point. FirefoxOS exists to increase the market share of the web by giving lots of people in developing countries $25 smartphones built on browser technology. This creates incentives for companies to develop for the w

From the point of view of a carrier, yes. I think you missed the point.

Saying "first mile" re-frames the conversation from the point of view of the customer, and is important because the Verizons and Comcasts of the world are very good at framing the debate in terms that benefit them. Last mile is fr

Based on the lack of human sensibilities, it could be a robot implemented by someone who believed the heuristic was acceptable.

Maybe ask on Twitter, or perhaps get your philosophy through a reaction Gif. tl;dr you should read the book.

That problem is entirely due to you choosing to run Google/Apple software on a network attached computer that you carry with you everywhere (even, apparently, to poo). Mapping the source of radio signals is common and expected. Your Wi

Even if the security protocol was "append this number to the messages you send me", it wouldn't be very easy to break since you don't have a successful transcript, any information about the implementation, or the ability

Oh how fickle you are. A company that supports an open source project out of pocket for two years now doesn't love open source because they have moved onto other things? Over time, technologies change, stabilize, and/or become obs

Being a professional developer is hard. That's why it's generally a high paying position, because you solve hard problems and are accountable for the results. So stop making excuses. An organization of this scale should be taking

I don't understand why SPDY / HTTP 2.0 is being framed as "fitting the needs of a few major players". Google is not the only one who benefits from reduced latency, fast page loads, efficient use of SSL sessions, and serv

It's not a setback at all. You can still use the existing CA system. In fact, you can just not set the secure bit and ignore its existence. > As for "making zone cuts" --- they haven't. Very few networks have. DNSSEC

You didn't actually respond to what I said. I don't know why you're talking about the NSA. And if you are, anyway, do you really think they can't ask Verisign for an arbitrary cert already? And won't the same tools

I don't understand why your criticism of DNSSEC focuses on TLS vs. DNSSEC. DNS is a scalable global key-value store, and DNSSEC allows owners of namespaces to sign their own key pairs and delegate to sub-namespaces. If you can make the

Sufficiently truncated hashes (SHA-384, SHA-512/256, SHA-512/224) in the SHA2 family should have the same property, right? You need the missing state to extend.

And nodejs is not a javascript server, it's just a wrapper around V8 and the kernel's socket API? Linux is not an operating system kernel, it's just a wrapper around X86? That distinction is silly.

We can all agree that running PGP in the browser is sub optimal for a whole host of reasons. Here is why it might actually be a good thing: 1. Encrypting in the browser provides a more audit-able process. You still can't audit the webmail p

On Ubuntu, there is an "nginx-extras" package with more modules. I don't have a centos machine handy. But really, the burden of a 'custom compile' is small. Nginx configuration is simple, it has minimal dependencies, and it builds quickly.

Schneier recommends use of a firewall: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2004/12/safe_personal_... You are correct that a firewall will not magically solve all your problems, but it does help to protect against programs that open port

How is using the word technology to describe the GPS network and smart phones absurd? You are the only one here talking about vegetables. Modernity is not Facebook. Facebook is pop culture, and we're already aware of the anti-pop-culture mo

Using a flip phone, not watching television, reading paper documents, or taking photos in 35mm is not anti-technology, it's using old technology. It's quite possible that smart phones, televisions, and kindles don't make your life any bette

A novelist is allowed (and encouraged!) to bend facts to make their books more exciting to the reader. Crichton may or may not have been an expert on certain subjects, but the contents of his fictional novels are not relevant to that dis
