There are user options to specify which entry and exit nodes to use [1]. I'm not saying there aren't ways to defeat Tor but I dislike this knee-jerk reaction that a lot of people have with it because of its origin. [1] https:&#x2

This keeps popping up again and again. The source code for Tor is public.

Seems to me that people aren't too concerned of nameless, faceless people looking through their stuff so long as people they know (parents, spouse, friends..) don't see it.

Why should he step down if he doesn't want to? If people are unhappy with him, they are free to fork it and set it up the way it pleases them.

In my experience, I've found that a linear forum works great when its strictly moderated. No off-topic posts, sometimes not even something tangentially related. The community also plays a huge role in maintaining the quality.

I think so. If so, I'd be part of the 100 million monthly actives. I don't have a google+ account but I do visit the pages of certain well known people in the industry every now and then.

Yea, but its not what a lot of people like and what seems interesting to us is not necessarily interesting to them. Lot of people prefer interacting with other people than sitting in front of a machine all day.

Not all people like sitting in front of a computer for many hours a day. If you don't like it, its unlikely you'll be good at the job in which case getting a new job is not guaranteed.

>> The C version is functional but will probably make more experienced C programmers cringe. Oh boy. This looks like the type of C code I write. Could some experienced C programmer please point out what parts are cringe inducing ?

I believe he gave very good reasons on why you should use git other than "svn sucks".

To be honest, sometimes I find the death penalty to be an easy way out for the criminal. As for Ajmal, I wouldn't want him to be executed simply because that is probably what he expected.

I really don't see what the fuss is all about. It is just like any other field. Programming is not an easy task. People are not suddenly going to turn into a Linus, a Knuth or a Guido. IMO if you feel threatened because more people are lear

This happens way too often with me. I just pull the lan cable out. No internet. It means I probably end up taking about 10-15 minutes to do something that would take a couple of minutes if I googled but I end up saving time because I don't

Yup, that's what I meant. Sandboxing on a per tab basis. To put it another way, each new tab you open is like a new incognito session.

Creepy. I wonder if a possible solution (for the tracking across sites part) is to make sure that each website can access only the cookies it creates. For example, chrome creates a seperate process for each tab and the process would have a

I think what he's trying to say is that we shouldn't tie our self-worth to the product and not take it personally if it doesn't work out. I'm not sure how to do it though. It does affect me personally a little bit if something I put a lot

Perhaps work should be done to pass a law that prevents these sort of bills from popping up. Go on the offense and eliminate the threat instead of constantly having to defend variations of the problem.

>> Otherwise, n is definitely composite — no fooling This assertion is false if I understood the test correctly. Take n = 5, a = 2. a ^ ((n - 1) / 2) = 2 ^ ((5 - 1) / 2) = 2 ^ 2 = 4 and 4 mod 5 = 4. Therefore the test will say 5 is

Well, SO does have a way of dealing with it through the use of bounties. As far as I'm aware, it requires the person asking the question to give up some rep though. Maybe there should be some internal bounty on all unanswered questions afte
