This sounds really cool. I wonder if we could get the Epicenter café in San Francisco or some other spot to stay open late one night a week. Something critical mass-style where no organizer is necessary, just a place and a time.

Gruber loses it on the facts here. <em>On the other, the Schmidt Google that, in its efforts to serve ads as efficiently as possible, no longer seems concerned with the traditional Western concept of personal privacy.</em> F

Wow. Next time, I'll make sure to write an encyclopedia article rather than a tongue-in-cheek takedown, now that I know the latter isn't allowed on the internet. By the way, have you ever read the Threat Level blog where this was published?

Actually, check the time stamps. Wikileaks disputed the first 8, but not this one. No word from Wikileaks on this so far.

No, but that's the only contact info listed for Dixon on his homepage or on Hunch. I say this as the author of the article.

No, it's not awful. What the hell is Cyber Command actually trying to do? The NSA's IAD has long had responsibility for securing classified networks (and done a damn good job at it). Cyber command is not about defense. It's about a move to

So giving people the option to hide their searches from tyrannical regimes, snooping schools and overbearing corporate IT firms, let alone a kid with a copy of wireshark at a local café is evil? Grow up. It's in beta and will unlikely ever

Um, did you all not get that the reference to developing a mailing list and a wiki was tongue-in-cheek? I know coders are often literal, but come on, y'all are supposed to be smart in these parts.

This article is based on some faulty logic, mainly that a story started by a PR pitch is "spin." So if Paypal decides to partner with Bump to make a payment application, and the companies put out a press release, and a writer decides that i

Actually there's no law in the U.S. about data retention (E.U. has one) but companies keep the data for their own engineering and marketing purposes AND to stay in good graces of authorities. (The Patriot Act and ECPA, among other laws, spe

There are A LOT of rules around money transaction services and the feds have only gotten stronger in their enforcement of them post-9/11. You'll need to watch out for so much fraud from carders. Best of luck, but perhaps you should talk to

I am so sick of Dan Gillmor. He was a former working hack who knew the web pretty well. He tried out his ideas in a startup which crashed and burned (Bayosphere), but that wasn't enough to convince the world that he's not the future of jour

This is crap. Councilman did more than store emails. He gave away free email accounts, then he spied on those who got emails from Amazon.com. The dude argued that because the emails went into storage on his server for even a second that he

Which means the technology will eventually make an algorithm so good that it can solve a CAPTCHA as well as a human, thus making itself obsolete. What other technology does that?

Hear, Here! The internet is thankful for all the future Wordpress-powered blogs whose writers will be spared the embarrassment of confusing its and it's, their and there, and complementary and complimentary. Congrats!

But, but, isn't part of the point of college to keep 18 to 22 year olds out of the job market? And perhaps more to the point, the real function of college is supposed to be creating citizens, not just employees. That said, it's pretty cleve

What's dangerous is that people are letting the military, politicians and the cybersecurity industry raise the hype and fear about the online world. That will only feed their budgets and militarize the internet. Remember the hype around Con
