2012? They were notorious for that kind of slow down. Something to do with the chips they used.

That was my thought as well. Given all communication is considered compromised, I can't think of a simple way to do this that isn't a face to face.

That's how I read it too. You can gain control of a session, but the private key should remain safe. I could be wrong though.

I absolutely agree. With Linux on a Thinkpad I never have to worry about my tools. They just work, upgrade without issue and don't get in my way. Suspend works, and the hardware is solid and upgradeable. I really can't fault the s

I'm glad to hear a glowing report from using Duolingo. I find it easy to put in daily practice with (must maintain my streak!) and it's good to hear that it gave you a good foundation at the end of it all.

Because it's ridiculous to think this is a conspiracy? It's a complete coincidence. On any long range flight like this you're likely to find a big bunch of people heading to some conference or other. Especially one like this

You've clearly not typed on one. Many people much prefer the experience of typing on a mechanical keyboard than a standard rubber dome one. Try one and see, there is a very tangible difference.

It's a Cherry MX keyboard. As far as I know, DVORAK keyboards just change which letters go where right? Then you can just pull the keycaps off and put them where ever you like. Aftermarket key caps are big among mechanical keyboard ent

My first thought too. This must already be a variable in high frequency trading software for a number of years.

Off topic, but I see you're in SA, I'll be living there for a year or two soon, I'd be really interested to get your perspective on the state of the technological landscape over there, things like ISPs, getting new electronic

Dropbox does this for me on Ubuntu? I think it stems from the 'Linux' way of doing things, which is to give as much information as possible, I like it, but I can see how it's off putting to some people.

It's not, but it's linked to from their website, so it's official. https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/android/22014642

You've been using WA for 2 years and haven't noticed any issues? You obviously haven't been using it much. Regularly whatsapp has short issues where messages will not go through, this is just a particularly long one.

On my Ubuntu 13.10 I have what runn1ng describes, one menu item that just contains help. Everything else is in the gear.

On Android at least it's $1 per year, I'm looking at the payment page right now that offers 1 year for $1, 3 for $2.67 and 5 for $3.71. That said, I've been using it for years and have never paid a cent. Each time as the free

I'm an extremely heavy user, hundreds to thousands of messages and images per day, and I've had the same messages so I think it's the heavy users that they're allowing for free.

And, as another commenter has said, make it once, sell it 10 times.

I constantly think this about free services. There are a lot of things I'd love to pay a small monthly fee for that would give me peace of mind that the company is actually going to try and do things in my best interests and not in the

I'm not sure that's true. I'm a researcher and at least among the younger generation of researchers, the anonymous peer review system often results in "oh shit" moments where you get a paper to review that you have

Some people estimate his net worth to have been not 20,000, but 1.6 million bitcoins. That adds to over a billion dollars. http://motherboard.vice.com/blog/who-is-satoshi-nakamoto-the...

I'd also like to read something like this. Grinberg is working on a book on flask, so it should be worth a read when it comes out in 2014.

Surely there must have been a way to have Levison decrypt that users account that would have been satisfactory to the government. I agree that him extracting the information himself isn't a solution, but surely there's a way to do

This was literally fixed in the last day. There's now feedback similar to the browser app.

Sounds like it was justified really, the NSA know since they've done similar things themselves that it's possible, so it's not a stretch to assume China is doing the same thing.

That's the only thing I'm worried about, hopefully the close ties with Google have made sure that the quality and reliability is up to scratch.

The Lenovo Yoga seems pretty incredible, much more expensive though. http://www.cnet.com/laptops/lenovo-ideapad-yoga-13/4505-3121...
