The point is that there are no alternatives. This isn't a design problem that as programmers we can fix. There are plenty of existing security systems that fit the bill. It's a human problem. For example, one technical fix is a widely de

Because there are not better alternatives? Unless you'd like to trust some company with biometric details about yourself. But biometrics aren't notably better than passwords anyway. And in answer to your question, yes. Everyone is suppos

I'm with you about those other stories, but I disagree with your general premise. Where do we draw the line for posting release notes? There are probably enough applications that this community cares about to constantly occupy 3 or 4 slot

Anyone who cares about FreeBSD already knows this, or will find out on their own. Since there isn't anything surprising or groundbreaking about this release, all this story is doing is taking up a valuable slot on the front page.

Erm, I'm pretty sure 99% of the people hear can figure this stuff out for themselves. Run of the mill Ubuntu tutorials definitely do not belong here.

As the one who directly responded to Matt about the Lessig issue, I still stand by my statement. Indeed, many of the thoughts in Matt's post did in fact occur to me, and I still decided to make the argument that suing Lessig is a bad idea

It seems like an awfully big gamble given that they could lose. But well argued and written.

It has nothing to do with his ability as a lawyer. Rather, his track record is directly related to his progressive stance on copyright. If I lived in Iran, I could be the greatest lawyer in the world and still lose every case in which I a

Why would you want to issue a take down notice to one of the most well known IP lawyers out there? Big business thrives on settlements, not landmark court cases. How do you think big media got away with suing individuals for torrenting fo

Not notable in the least. Rooting a computer when you have physical access to it is trivial.

No. The expensive Nokia 1100 comes from a specific plant. All Nokia 1100 models are not useful in circumventing bank security, just the ones made at that plant.

Agreed. And equally important is the fact that no one really talks about it. Instead of bringing up how they were around for "Erlang Day" in every comment thread, people just remember it in the back of their minds as something amusing that

I found five examples to back up my case, so listen to me! As all the YC companies can tell you, for your average case building a business still takes a lot of work.

Personally, I'd sue the University for making me sign over the rights of my written work to a company in order to get a grade. I'd be fine if I was just giving them the right to archive it, but the license says that it is a "a non-exclusiv

Decrease the size of everything. Or if you're set on the size, at least increase the contrast.

I helped a friend out with an issue like this recently. If you know his name, get a background check done on him. That should give you plenty to go off of. If you don't know his name, try figuring out which service provider his phone num

I'm very well aware of Brazil's economic status as a country. I wasn't seeking to comment on the country as a whole, simply the segment of the population hijacking signals. I stand by my statement that this segment of the population has v

If a bunch of impoverished Brazilians can use these satellites to communicate, is a Denial of Service possible if organized by a well funded group? I admit I don't know as much about this type of technology as I would like. I assume they
