This bug is problematic for all those situations where the ssh protocol is not used for telnet-style command line, but as a transport. e.g. Git uses ssh as transport protocol, but github (and similar platforms) don't support direct use

I think I don't get the point. Real-time collaboration is something we have already (google docs, hackpad, ...). And besides, if it's true that it works only for IE, what's the point? EDIT: A guy in this thread told it works

Yeah, but dude, it's fukken haskell :D. Good comment anyway, I didn't realize the drawback...

From a topic you deem interesting of course. But be aware of the fact a book does not give the experience you gain by working hands-on to something.

...and besides this allows you to surf without google registering every fart of yours. Good idea. Uh, also I suggest to everyone the "self-destructing cookies" extension. I think it's the best cookie solution so far: basicall

Utopistically, how nice would be if the whole web provided no-javascript versions of the sites? In the end 90% of the cases javascript is used just to do fancy things, while actual functionalities could be achieved with much less pain (and

Anybody looked at http://www.dailydot.com/politics/flowchart-avoid-nsa-online/ (linked by Schneier in the blog post)? Isn't that a little drastic? The fact that my 4096-bit-gpg-encrypted mail has been stored

As mentioned by many people, open source gives you peer review as an advantages, and bugs (both in-good-faith and intentional) get more easily spotted. This however doesn't prevents bug from be there, and the question is: will those gu

I think this is why, for instance, the Linux kernel is written in C and not in C++. And this leads to discussions on the Internet which are definitely funny! :D http://stackoverflow.com/questions/520068/why-is-the-

The fact is that there's a very huge amount of legacy code which provides irreplaceable functionality. What would you do if you had a complex data crunching library in C to be integrated into your program? Rewriting stuff from scratch

About that, recently I started to watch some videos about SELinux, and I tought it could be a good idea to use it for isolating some likely-to-leak software (e.g. Skype).

True that. I would do the same after all... there's plenty of interesting stuff to work on.

You don't need to be working in a specific place if you run computer-related activities. Also TOR.

Yeah, but there's nothing worse than boredom for a computer guy. And besides, protecting the user privacy is probably something he cares about.

This Retroshare btw looks interesting! --- but why on the earth the Fedora installation links me to Open-suse RPMs? :D

Guys, help me. Every time I see something like this I think "cool thing!", but I also start thinkin about new ways someone will start to track me down. Seriously, my paranoid level has never been so high.

I switched to DDG some time ago, and I totally live happy with it. Besides, lately they improved the quality a lot, both on the results and on speed performances. The bang syntax is just awesome, and I rarely need to !g my results.

A point for you sir: complaining is not the way of solving a problem. Still the complaining is symptomatic of discomfort in the community for this facts; and discomfort, my good friend, is rich soil for solutions. The best way of moving on
