   I plan on doing this. I'm actually excited for the day when I get to nail Verizon for discriminating against my business. (I wish I were youtube.) Here's what I plan to do, and please tell me what you would think if you saw this:

   Please, could you test your camera? Almost all USB webcams use the "uvcvideo" module (and built-in webcams use USB in most cases), so it would be noteworthy if your camera _didn't_ work.

   That was unexpected. Why would Google be so ignorant of Android China? China seems like such an obvious part of the mobile big picture that I can only assume "big" things. In no particular order: • Google's decision to leave

   Absolutely. Still, it has been way too long since there has been any progress in display resolution, so by pushing into "4K" territory it means something like 2560x1440 might just become mainstream. Win/win: early adopters ge

   Without being too verbose, have you configured your admittedly over-provisioned desktop as a thin client and actually tried the post-prod workflow this way? I'm just saying that it's being looked at, and current hardware is defini

   This. (@yardie: I tried to get in touch with you) Do not replace the controller on a Seagate. You may have better luck with other manufacturers. If there is valuable data on there, and it sounds like there is, pay the price to have it profe

    Role-based access control. :) Though Amazon still has services that "don't support IAM" ... I'm looking squarely at Payments. That particular master key always makes me nervous.

    To argue against the line "it's only natural that the corrupt seize power" look no further than the various cases where decency and enlightenment prevailed. Never give in — never, never, never, never, in nothing great or smal

    So I admit I haven't skimmed the paper yet. Is it as comprehensive a map of DNA-encoded transcription factors as can be had? I ask because I can understand the way DNA codes for proteins–as a software-head–but the article definitely ge

    Our sun has collapsed and been rebuilt at least once? Google search for "sun collapsed rebuilt 3 times" lists Stonehenge, which seems to indicate Google can't find anything on the subject. I really don't understand what

    Paywalled. But I get the impression that it's equating Bitcoin to the Tulip Mania. Again. That argument has been discussed ad nauseam. There are plenty of sound, technical arguments against Bitcoin - some are even implemented as altcoi

    Yup. Where the grandparent said "employers think college degrees are more valuable than they probably are," you've highlighted the disconnect between what employers think they're getting from a college grad (certain skil

    tptacek, you and I have exchanged comments before when it comes to copyright. What's the real issue here? Previously you've argued that the copyright industry actually has the stronger set of morals, and those violating copyright

    Thank you for responding in detail. I need to think over what you've written to grok the finer points, but here's one I can talk to: "Why not replace (insert hugely established system) with (completely new system)"? It&#

    So I understand the points you're making and I appreciate your candor, but why not go all-in on cryptographic currencies? I am tempted to take apart your proposed solution point-by-point but I'll wait. Crypto currency apparently i

    I'll take you at your word that you have something that can literally work as online cash. So you understand that this is a hard problem, lots of people have tried, etc. etc. etc. I can't decide yet whether to like bitcoin or hate

    Like I mentioned in the other thread on the TPP Leak, the TPP could immediately have the following effects, if it is enacted into law by the participating nations. I picked the ones you would most likely notice: 1. 3-strikes laws in all par

    So far I have seen no mention of Article QQ.G.10, on TPM. "The US wants this separate cause of action to extend even to cases where there is no copyrighted works" [1] Even the DMCA only protects copyrighted works. The provisions o

    Well, good, if the radio and baseband do not live on-die with the AP. Market forces are pushing for a completely integrated design, but it's interesting from a security perspective. The baseband is still considered the master CPU durin

    TL;DR yes, the BB cpu has full access to everything, including the "main" cpu and all running processes. Why not, right? :) It is important to note that all smartphone chips are optimized first for low cost and low power usage. To

    OS X does not behave exactly in this manner, but is indeed confusing. Linux never needs a 'purge' or equivalent. Doing a 'drop_cache' only slows the system slightly because nothing is cached. 'sudo purge' can

    Without commenting on the Toyota situation, yes, it is common to find embedded code written by an electrical engineer who does not seem to have the necessary skills. However, the key word there is "seem." My anecdotal experiences
