Looks to me like Verisign isn't a fan of the scheme because it would take a few hours to propagate routing changes. That makes it harder to run its DDoS prevention business. Not sure that's a good reason to oppose better routing security.

No, that was just an SNL sketch: http://www.snotr.com/video/422/Eddie_Murphy_goes_undercover Funny, but not real undercover. There was a famous book called Black Like Me about a white guy who pretended to be black in the south in the late

Wait, now Quora is now syndicating answers as blog posts to publications? Do users know this? Does Quora ask permission? Do users get a rev share? Looks exactly like what Instagram was trying to do. Update: Answered my own question. Looks l

Actually, it's not just anti-competitive, it's plainly illegal for Verizon to be messing with Google Wallet or Voice on any of its 4G phones. Verizon licensed the C Block in 2008, which come with rules that REQUIRE it to allow any phone to

I was initially underwhelmed, but on second thought, it turns out that crazy, huge system of machines, trucks and humans that routes letters and packages around the country is pretty amazing. Going to go with damilocampos on this one.

You are also getting WP support from folks that know the codebase really well. $500 for managed hosting with CDN and unlimited bandwidth? That's a great deal for any large publication.

those dates do not reflect when a site was initially seized. For instance, Filespump.com was seized in 2012 and lulzsec.com was seized in March. Both say November according to this list.

It's not that far off. Prosecutors have used the CFAA to try to prosecute people for violating the ToS act of MySpace (thrown out by judge post-conviction) and to lodge charges against a scalper which used automated ways to get past a CATPC

I know you are the resident curmudgeonly voice of security truthfulness on Hacker News, but it's really odd that you keep referring to anti-phishing measures as anti-spam, as if they have no relation whatsoever to security. DKIM plays a key

Saying that DKIM doesn't adequately verify an email is genuine ignores the point of DKIM which is to weed out emails that clearly aren't genuine. So Gmail can simply deadpool hundreds of fake paypal phishing emails. That doesn't mean the oc

You didn't answer the questions. That's because you well know that anti-spam is security. Just because DKIM isn't foolproof, doesn't make it useless as a layer in anti-spam and security.

If you care about good journalism, follow the source. This is Engadget aggregating an Ars Technica story. That's fine -- there are good reasons for aggregation -- but if you are going to share on social networks, take the time to click to t

Due to an appeals court decision, NSL gag orders have been challengable since 2008 -- and it's very simple to do. But the thing is, companies rarely care to fight for their users. In 2010, the FBI admitted that the gag order has been challe
