To be fair, I'm not sure it was simply because he had a mental disorder -- Davis has gotten very combative (or at least ended productive conversations with vulgar non-arguments) on many occasions. Yes, it's probably almost exclu

I wonder how long authorities will be able to preface awful things with "Hunting for Hackers," before people get fed up.

That's the same issue I ran into with using a VPN; I know I want to be using one as a (theoretical) enhancement to my privacy, but it was just too slow.

Not sure, but I think I might be on madeofpalk's team on this one too: Superfish was ostensibly doing it to feed data into targeted advertising; Hola has no such (marginally) benevolent excuse.

Hm... it appears that this claim is contrary to most beliefs, by people who have jobs involving them knowing things like this.

I have no idea what the original post said, because it appears to have been too godawful to even stay in the thread, but I saw nothing in kika's that sounded like racism. Just seems like the commenter is opposed to whatever groups are

If you're wearing Beats (or any expensive headphone setup), it's not just because you need to listen to audio in a library or something -- you've made a decision to spend a considerable amount of money on a product with fun

Freedom #3 (OS-independent operation) is a really interesting observation, but the first two freedoms seem like they'd be solved with... a regular watch?

Interesting -- that seems like it'd be introducing a lot of points to grow latency if you're casting a Chrome tab. Do you happen to know if that works differently?

Right-o. From below: "The car was already behind on payments, that part I omitted from the story. As well the house was behind on payments so I let it go to foreclosure. Not the wisest idea, but it happened."

I think I'm missing something important here. I understand it as far as "internal networks give people a false sense of security," but it's still worth something , isn't it? Why not implement all of these security

I've been pondering this for a little while -- I agree with you, and I think it's because the point being conveyed isn't the data, but the scale.

Horizontal scaling in consulting seems to be what you're so put off by, but I think at most lower levels, vertical scaling is still very possible. For me, at least for the forseeable future, I'm pretty solidly convinced that I can
