I have a big problem with the "you might miss unknown-to-science micronutrients" argument. If that's the case with Soylent, it should also be the case for the average person's diet, which is far from optimal. I'd ra

As I understand it, disconnect.me handles tracking cookies and the like, which is fine for protection against third parties, while Paranoid Browsing throws chaff at the ISP, NSA, etc.

The interviewer didn't even get the operator's first name. I think he (she? they?)'ll be fine.

OK, fixed. I use an Optimus laptop (yeah, bad decision) which Chromium doesn't support. The solution is to tell it to support it anyway: $ optirun chromium-browser --ignore-gpu-blacklist Now it works fine. Edit: fixing the problem on f

That's true. For example in Python, you declare the query as "Select * from a where b=? and c=d" and then put a tuple (z,) to specify b. It's something the NYSE should get "hip" to.

Even if there isn't one currently, windows exposes an interface to the screen through gdi+ which can be used in a C++ program, for example.

Sanitizing your inputs is apparently even harder than salting and hashing your passwords, something even the big-name companies tend to mess up. Sigh.

EVE is very careful about keeping everything in "an alternate universe" which saves them from prosecution. Meanwhile the SEC, FinCEN, et al have decided to regulate Bitcoin, and there's no universe barrier to save it.

I actually had a few of my friends using OTR, until they realized that - it's extremely buggy between software (e.g. Jitsi + Gibberbot) - it's a huge hassle to use on multiple devices Then PRISM came out and... they didn't ca

Off-by-one errors are very common (and they have a long history). My best guess is "an honest mistake." As for the "endemic blind spots," any crypto software needs professional reviews and a good deal of time before it c

Just remap it within the FPS (don't they all have this option?), or press Alt+Shift when you enter the game.

Remapping my AltGr layout has done me wonders. I can press AltGr with my right thumb, and then I get {}[]()_= as the no-motion home row. Colemak has nothing to say about AltGr.

I'm not saying it's necessarily right, but: 1) It relates to the general anti-gov't sentiment with Snowden , NSA, et al 2) The man was recording the police with his smartphone
