Yes it's an independent project, but a pretty neat way of co-opting the hidden service protocol for instant messaging.

Assuming that there are no security bugs in handling the incoming data, it's apparently as secure as communication with Tor hidden services. Each chat user self-hosts a hidden service, with messages between users being sent via a symme

In the meantime, TorChat ( https://github.com/prof7bit/TorChat ) is usable. Though it doesn't fit the specification of the linked project as it uses its own custom protocol based around Tor hidden services, rather t

This can run offline if you download all the files, as all the computation is done client-side. However due to the use of require.js ( http://requirejs.org ) the script files aren't directly linked from the main page. You nee

If shipping cost is important to you, then indeed why not just go out and buy it directly?

I'm not sure if that's such a good idea. Instead of just having your ISP able to sniff or MITM your web traffic, now you may have some random exit node operator doing the same - likely with more malicious intent than your Internet

Is this really that important? If you don't like it, don't use it (it being Amazon's video streaming service). There are plenty of competing services if you have a burning need to watch films via the Internet. No need to thro

The author's paper on the topic ( http://sloanconsortium.org/sites/default/files/6-Schwartz_0.... ) makes for interesting reading as it expands on the five requirements he states are necessary for authenti

I don't see how it's anywhere near a viable currency for general use. The wildly fluctuating exchange rate, the fact that it's run on a public ledger (and the privacy loss implications of this), the relative difficulty of use

One of the stated goals was being able to build the firmware from source. As firmware can be considered an integral part of the physical objects that constitute the hardware, I'd say that qualifies it as being an open source laptop.

Yes, I had severely underestimated the amount of bad traffic that would pass through a Tor exit node.

This was a while ago, but Gandi disabled my account - with no warnings - for running a Tor node on one of my VPSes. I then had to send a copy of my passport to eventually get it reenabled. The frustrating thing was that they were also my do

The difference is that when we say that the Earth revolves around the Sun, it's implied that we are using an inertial reference frame. Yes, you can take whichever reference point you want, but it's not the default assumption.

It's just not an accurate title, as "US history" also includes non-citizens.

The truth of Dropbox's acquisition of dropbox.com is a little murkier than them just buying it - it appears that they initiated this by suing the previous owner, who had owned the domain since 1995: http://law.justia.com&#x2

The problem with your argument is that you assume that attempts at suicide are being supported by some sort of logical reasoning that inevitably leads to the conclusion of killing oneself. This is rarely the case, and is mostly seen in inst

I'm not sure what the author is implying here. Is it that figuring stuff out on your own and learning it from others are mutually exclusive? Surely it's better to do both.

Quinine is not the best antimalarial drug out there nowadays, and is certainly not a good choice if you have lots of money to invest in malaria treatment in impoverished regions of the world. Investing in this tonic water startup for that p
