Linus Torvalds feels pretty strongly about GPLv2 as compared to GPLv3. The fact that he prefers GPLv2 is a pretty strong counter-argument: GPLv2 allows the ODM/OEM to implement a linux soltuion. The end user has no guarantee of crypto

It's fairly straightforward to root your Android handset. For a ChromeOS device it can be even easier: just download an installer, turn off the physical safety switch or screw, and you're running a full linux distro. Still you hav

I feel like you are preaching against his preaching – which is a good debate and I enjoy it and all – but you had the stronger argument with "put a bunch of shops out of business."

To what you said: yes. Except to not store the messages in the blockchain, which removes the need to generate a bitcoin address. However, there are some implementation issues that need to be resolved, e.g. on github.

I floated the idea on bitcointalk.org of a fully anonymous distributed message board that used small bitcoin payments as the cost to post messages ... possibly softened by having a newbie/spam forum where "free" posts are pos

So if I'm understanding you right, industry as a whole chose a method which though it has benefits also has drawbacks – so much so that they ignored research? And it was religious people who continued fundamental research? Very interes

I'm not sure how to respond to the Assembly nitpick but if Jezebel wants to post this article, it's fine with me. (Just because an online publication frequently publishes stuff I don't read does not imply that I should not re

Good points, thanks. I know 400/900 are not "slower." But the radios designed for them generally are slower.

Edit: Ninja'd by dronehire. Please refer to his answer. Educated guess here, but the article says it's a GoPro camera, so they probably have to get the drone back alive and download the video from the GoPro. On the other hand, wir

I came here to say exactly this. The TV broadcast spectrum has some really desirable FCC licenses. Imagine if white spaces became the de facto standard simply because the old-guard broadcast TV companies went cable-TV only ... The same cabl

Fine. Your skills give you the power, with a little effort, to invade someone's privacy. Because he's famous, you're more likely to pick on him. A journalist has the ability to take that to a whole new level by really shining

If you're so comfortable with journalism, I'd like to interview you. But first please provide: • Full names and home towns of your children and your wife • Picture of your house – include a clear photo of your car's license p

My guess is that Satoshi doesn't think Bitcoin is illegal per se. You don't have to have something to hide to want privacy.

Ironically, the officers didn't know it was _Satoshi_ _Nakamoto_ until she said so. They're just helping the guy remove a trespasser, which is well within their line of duty. Oh, and the homeowner who called them is named "Sa

This is also an excellent counter to the argument "I have nothing to hide."

I want Colorado on the list too. All I can think of is: Google's doing this to put pressure on other cities. Is it working? (Not living in Denver anymore, or I'd just ask around :) )

The challenge would not be the Same Origin Policy, it would be finding out what IP address your router has. Browsers don't give that to Javascript (which is probably good). However, you'd be 99% successful trying the most common I

I agree with Levine's conclusions, but the reason Red Hat is successful in spite of "selling a slightly better road" is simple. (The car analogy really helps this.) Unlike the other open source efforts Levine lists, Red Hat s

Some assumptions I have to make are: • The RTG in Yutu (the rover already up) will last that long • Yutu does not move, get struck by a meteor, or other normal events in space that will damage it further • The team who understands Yutu is s
