this is so awesome by Secure Ideas, and also an awful move by DEF CON. one of the largest problems with current state of technology is that what the fed is doing is possible. hopefully there will be a lot of talk about how to shift towards

The only motivation behind this is absurd profit for those selling domain names, and I doubt that NYC will even see that money (does anybody know more information about this?). Otherwise, I don't see how this would help a company ident

Just to confirm, because I fear the game show has a loophole, what is preventing you from eyeballing the key when he picks it, memorizing the notches, then you have a much better chance of getting the correct one. Prisoners have been known

This might seem strange, but I felt a similar passion towards vacations ever since I was in elementary school. There was always a lot of pressure to succeed in school, sports, and social life. Just when I thought I'd have free time to catch

It's hard to believe it's taken this long for something like this to come around and gain some popularity in the mainstream. It echoes so much of what is wrong with education, and perhaps implicitly, what is so right with the Tech industry,
