Exactly. I'm not exactly a power user, but once I heard about Ubuntu being based on Debian, and the whole Linux being modular thing, along with learning how decoupled 'Linux' is from the GUI I quite literally made the switch to Debian cold-

Your post actually fires up quite a lot of my neurons. I'm thinking about a perfect text to speech system which transcribes whatever you say into pure text files. Maybe it'll generate a new file every ten minutes, every half an hour or poss

Just as we carry out hand everywhere so that we can sign papers easily, each one of us should have a token or something equivalent that is based on PKI. And then native OS drivers to add functionality to sign any file with it. Something lik

The funny thing is I'm neither American nor in the USA, but I'm sure they've still got some intel on me (since USCIS does legally have my records anyway).

I think it was over 2 years ago but a guy on reddit pointed out that terrorists would obviously target the weakest link. He said something on the lines that instead of trying to hijack airplanes they'd just go blow up some mall or something

Yours is neither the first, nor will be the last comment I hear sharing this common theme, but I strongly feel that EAFP holds truer in the real world that contains people than our world that contains electrons and holes.

I stand corrected. I tried for a fourth time, and apparently, after chmodding you need to wait for a minute or two. After that if you open the camera app, there is a black screen, exactly as you described. EDIT - I still don't understand. T

Expanding on your post. It's pretty easy actually but when authorizing GMail to add a new sender address it usually mails a verification code to that address. Which, in this case would come back into the same Gmail inbox. So if you have a X

I second your motion. Initially I thought that they found a new material that is sensitive to 2.4GHz electromagnetic waves. This train of thought was inspired by the ability of cameras today to capture infrared light. [The old point remote

I identify with the INTJ type as well, and I'm curious to know what destructive traits you're talking about. Also, I do somewhat identify with the description that you've given although I hate to put labels on people.

I don't know why this is a hard concept for people to understand. DRM is basically the equivalent of Schroedinger's box. You want the content decryptable so that it can be consumed, yet you don't want it to be copied. The problem is, decryp

To be fair, when I read the title I thought that if the string is truly random then it's actually a very good technique. This is the core operating principle behind the one-time pad which is provably secure. Now that I read the article twic

Wouldn't it be cool if the second factor was something that was passive on your part. Something like an NFC on your phone, where the NFC "bubble" is boosted just enough that you don't need to pull it out of your pocket but isn't too large
