The whole problem with email is the asynchronous thing. You want to be secure, then it needs to be in such a way that there's minimum reliance on a central server. But in that case, what happens if your local machine (which is both yo

Yeah, I thank my stars that I had the sense to do this almost 2 years ago. It really is much better. Another neat hack of using your custom domain is when people ask for your email address you can make one up without you appearing in their

Assuming you're using (and lavabit supported) custom domains, all you'd need to do is sign up for a dummy email address for now and go to your domain settings and reenter the MX records. But if it was an username@lavabit.com or so

This mostly never happens. I've used fingerprint locks where the battery lasts easily for a year (that's with 5-6 accesses per day). Without getting into the discussion of the security factor of biometrics, the working mechanism o

Holy cow! Just saw it. It looks like a minefield. I speculate it's probably a bug or something because I've never seen so many dead links together. Either that, or today being a Sunday, has got everyone trying to promote their s

Nah man, doesn't always work. Whe I tried that, they said "Nothing to hide from the government, not everyone."

Maybe I'm an ass for pointing this out, but it's trilateration, not triangulation. I set out to learn the mathematical concept, and not knowing the right term had me waste an entire evening looking at something more closely relate

Which is why I added the "marginal cost of duplication" part. I understand that security via obscurity has been practically the only thing that's been happening. Hell, a simple talk to our own parents (mine're 50+, somew

When will people, especially the tech illiterate ever learn that security via obscurity doesn't really work when you've got marginal cost of duplication. [Of course, it's a bad idea for even tangibles but in the electronic wo

Ah got it. Thanks. I didn't think power would play a significant role, but if it does then I can see why.

Honest question, no snark - Why not gut out an elcheapo laptop's mainboard (Atom or AMD Brazos) and dedicate a usb port to an Arduino or something. You get the power of x86 along with the expandability (i.e. GPIO, SPI, I2C, etc) of a m

Okay I don't want to get into debate of religion as the topic here because that never ends well. But in general more open minded people are willing to give anything a shot, and more importantly, they're willing to say "You kn

You're probably right that 'brainwashed' is a term used lightly, yet with some people if you challenge their views, they go flat out into denial so that their world doesn't shatter. I probably should call them brainw

There was a post on reddit where abused women have higher levels of oxytocin. Maybe that has something to do with it. Abused/brainwashed is pretty much similar, except one might have physical traces.

And if someone figures out such a magical paint it's going to be an great business idea/overnight success story because you could put it on cars and reduce the afternoon-oven characteristics.

I'm reasonably certain that this is far more sinister than a simple advertisement tactic. No, dear people, this has all the similarity to Google's 411 service. I have this feeling that Google has implemented some new nifty ML-algo

It's pretty awesome to know that you can get something that powerful inside your palm (the Atmega 328) for less than $3 single unit prices. After some minor conversion, the Atmega/Arduino has almost exactly same storage space and

Guys, so I have a question about Bittorrent sync. I realize that it's purely a sync tool but is there a way to make it backup data as well? Maybe there's an option that I'm missing that says "Don't delete, just back

That might work. I'm looking for a pure file backup server that can receive the occasional fax and use PHP's sendmail function.

You're basically saying "I know it's not fair, but screw you I got mine." You're not being asked to decide on a corporate policy that you need to weasel out with such statements. The god damn question is simple, &qu

With quite a few phones coming with sealed batteries, is it even a reasonable assumption that you've truly turned off the phone?

Hmm I find that a bit... different to my expectations. I'd always thought that e-paper absolutely required to be bistable, like paper.

Hold on a minute. e-paper and LCD are two very different technologies. You could possibly charge them for misleading. Is it bistable?
