Recording artists do solo projects all the time. Stand up doesn't require much in the way of production value.

What other platform would bounce you for having a separately purchasable pro version or preemptively require licensing proof for something that isn't a core aspect?

You do understand the difference between proving a technology exists and is suitable for localized high latency low bandwidth communication and suggesting that it's suitable to replace tier 1 isps that handle terrabits of data traffic per s

no, your ISP has very broad legal powers to inspect your traffic as long as it occurs while it's in motion.

It seems like you think wishful thinking is a replacement for actual engineering knowledge. The difference between your story and today is that in the 80's (and 70's) tons of real engineers were already using the internet, dialing plenty of

yeah, but the third party voip providers all tell you that they aren't a replacement for a landline providing E911 service because of the (many) problems that can occur with an unmanaged pipe.

by trotsky 15y ago
They don't actually cut off your network connection, they just filter it so that you can only reach a subset of their own addresses like dhcp, dns, trouble resolution website etc. I'm sure they just include the voip servers on that list. Th

I understand that you read about it on reddit, and they may have sounded quite confident and/or optimistic, but I assure you an internet based on wireless mesh and without ISPs would be completely unusable. Along with most ideas that sound

Awesome talk, but I can't resist: Leave it to a software engineer to find a $250 solution to a $10 problem :) ( http://www.wbcboulder.com/pole_mounted_baffles_sub.html )

Then you must agree that the workers at my local restaurant, where water is available for free, are infinitely more efficient than the workers at fuji bottled water plant.

Debian and ubuntu are clearly two substantially different distributions with different packages, policies and goals. As are RHEL and Fedora. The only difference between Centos and RHEL is some branding and whether you paid a license fee.

Check out the source: http://w3techs.com/technologies/details/os-linux/all/all Specifically, Mark fails to mention that Centos is listed separately from RHEL in the survey, and when added together they come to 41%, more than twice that of

I think the wikileaks theory has some real merit, it leapt to my mind immediately when I heard sabu was working as a CI. Around the time of the HB Gary hack I remember reading somewhere that wikileaks had a no documents sourced from hacks p

by trotsky 15y ago
I was far from a fan of the lulzsec or antisec activities, but it's impossible to claim that the HB Gary hack didn't have a major impact on the security world. It's tempting for those in the business to dismiss hacks if they're not done wit

pass phrases do provide a better source of memorable entropy as compared to traditional passwords, but look at the result the the comic comes up with. In this context, where the pass phrase isn't associated with a user name and the "hashes"

Users mostly can't be trusted to produce reasonably constructed 8 character passwords even when there are complexity requirements. So it's rather surprising to hear that now it's a good idea to fully derive the key protecting your spends li

Making Linux usable by the “general public” was eschewed by the Linux community for years. I've been part of the linux community since 1994, and I have never once heard anyone express a desire to prevent mainstream adoption. Quite the con

Google could run Flash in a VM. Or they could re-implement it (as Mozilla is doing). [...] Or they could pay Adobe to write a version that uses the sandbox. Isn't the nacl+pepper flash rewrite effectively the result of doing a bit of all

It matters because including flash with chrome is an act of realism. If the user runs firefox, safari or another browser they're still going to be susceptible to the same bug - it simply won't be attributed to the browser because the user w

A great example of how positioning is everything. It's hard to believe that a startup saying "we lease an inexpensive NAS box running crashplan for $10/mo" would be winning events or getting press like that.

I'm not sure where I read the specs yesterday - the ipad isn't of a lot of interest to me, so I wasn't doing something like following a live blog as suggested elsewhere. As I was just browsing the print WSJ a bit ago I did find an excellent

Infosec jobs that pay $1.2MM a year? The only people making close to that are the blackhats - and not many of them.

Penetration testing is the common answer, though that job description can also be a bit of a euphemism. It is also worth noting that breaking into the computer of a foreign national that is located overseas is often not a crime in the unite

I'd be very surprised if a system like that doesn't check a signature before applying an update.

Are you familiar with anyone who has ever gone to prison for selling an exploit to a third party? What were they charged with? You may not be interested in the kind of attention you'd get from intelligence or law enforcement, but as far as

They looked exactly the same to me as well the first time I looked. When I just clicked again a magnifying glass widget appeared over them that wasn't there the first time (even though I spent quite a while staring and scratching my head).
