Where's your evidence for that? The hearings in congress I think have shown that there are doubts from decision-makers.

The parent poster didn't advise ignoring the pro-NSA opinions but gave his opinion that he felt there might be an astroturf campaign. And why follow a comment agreeing that astroturf campaigns are employed with one slanting those point

You take a group of critical thinkers and expose them to a topic that many are experts in and they'll focus principally on fact rather than opinion. At the moment the released facts don't necessarily report the widely reported con

Many were tortured for years. That fact alone argues against the existence of a ticking time bomb scenario. Dozens of others were held for no reason at all, later released as having been found innocent. If the US did torture someone in a sc

What has lead you to believe that free speech is any consideration in Sony's dealings? This is the company that has (and still does) push for SOPA and CISPA-like abilities to take down websites with the most minor effort! It's unc

The notion that a computer hacking threat and the threat of physical harm are somehow in the same ballpark is completely without merit and absurd. There's not the slightest evidence that the hackers could physically harm someone beyond

For probably most nations the "state-actors" part is irrelevant as they have no magic hacking method not afforded to anyone else. The exceptions are nations host to companies that supply hardware and software to be backdoored. Thi

I also don't see how this could be taken as a realistic threat, but what are Sony's financial incentives to theaters pulling it? Weren't their costs in creating the movie?

Late reply - sorry that I missed your response. I've found that RAII classes like std::unique_ptr have really helped. Errors like an uninitialized pointer are often caused by poor ownership semantics in the program design, and I don&#x

Well I don't think you're completely off the mark. I just moved to Boston recently and have been struck at how people often seem to evaluate your pedigree during introductions. As negative as that sounds, I think different regions

What's fragile, insecure, and terrible about them? I've written C/C++ (among other languages) for years at work and it's quite rare that I see a bug that could be attributed to the language.

I've worked in software development post-college for 7 years. The first 3 I had my own office and for the last 4 I've been in an open space. I really think this is a matter of personal taste to a large degree, but for my part I pr

Eventually maybe the browsers will do that. Currently far too many websites are HTTP-only to allow for that behavior, but if that changes and the vast majority of the web is over SSL it would make sense to start warning for HTTP connections

The gluten-free substitute products probably don't contain the FODMAPs that the self-reported "gluten sensitive" individuals are actually allergic to. I'm not sure that makes it a "baseless food fad", this is a

Presumably your son would like to eat out occasionally? Or not be relegated to just the healthy options you want him to eat? Just because there are GF Oreo's doesn't mean you have to eat them. And to counter your observation, in m

As this requires reassembling the HTTP request to add the additional header, this probably introduces extra latency too. Fortunately https is becoming more pervasive which bypasses this and any other transparent proxies.

NAT doesn't terminate and recreate connections. It modifies packet headers and forwards them. Modifying headers in order to facilitate transit over a network is one thing, modifying the L7 payload is another.

Maybe there was an earlier release I missed but this report looks to be the first to show the extent of the call record data being collected. SIM, IMEI, Lat/Lng and more. Logged for every American, every day, all since 2007. And now sh

This article is a bit strange. Complex initialization in a constructor can make it more difficult to unit test a class. Copy constructors aren't prohibited, it's just recommended that you remove the implicit versions when your cla

I'm not sure a quote taken out of context actually is so easily corrected within the realm of American media and politics. Falsehoods are quoted and quickly reprinted, and the truth might not be so juicy as to get the same level of att

I imagine recording a discussion is particularly stifling when it pertains to government contracted work. In government it's all about how blame should be assigned and not about moving forward productively.
