Someone I know is getting one of those 'cyber security' Masters degrees at Mercyhurst in Erie. I respect the guy, he's really smart, he has an intuitive and pragmatic view of politics... but he hasn't written a line of c

From the way the article describes the Minecraft community development, I thought it was possible that the choice of telnet was deliberate. It's easier to log in to, for one- no key configuration. And while the connection is insecure,

I really have to thank you for this comment. I had serious trouble understanding Haskell's type notation, and translating it to Java-ish was immensely helpful.

I'm willing to believe that you're right. I think, though, that the government will take this as a sign that they need to never have the need to ask this question again. The demand that encrypted communications devices have some b

I know that this particular case makes access to subpoenaed resources a relatively more nuanced and impactful situation. The ideal situation for the government is: 'We need that communication. It is locked to us. We unlock it, given t

Devil's advocate: Consumer preferences or the fact that it was a work phone don't matter, as long as a warrant has been attained. This case is a constitutional matter from the beginning-- the Federal government does possess the ab

If Albanian should be connected to any Slavic languages, though, it should be connected with Serbian, Macedonian, and Bulgarian, the languages that it neighbors, and which have exerted mutual cultural influence on each other. The point the

The trouble is, things are always about satisfying markets, whether we like the market it satisfies or not. For example, in the early days of the university in England and France, higher education served to satisfy the market of younger-c

I agree that the adoption rate will be slower than the 3-5 years rate stated by the commenter above. I do think, though, that of the major cities, many people would agree that Chicago is among the most resistant to changes in labor due to c

I think there are some border shifts that happened after WWI that I'd consider more along the lines of the biggest mistake in the universe, but the melange of Belgium and the Netherlands is pretty egregious.

Huh, there's a Mormon church in Oakland. TIL.

I don't live in Hawai'i, and I've never been. But given their history, I think I can forgive them a little bit of dislike of Americans.

They've just been waiting to use phrases like these since Snowden went public. There just hasn't been a large enough terror attack to justify it.

America has never had a famine, though. Indeed, aside from avocados recently and a few times when there were bacteria scares, I can't think of any time where any American agricultural product couldn't be found in stores. I defin

The mammal dislike of arthropods goes pretty deep. Most people enjoying seeing live hawks, cats, or other predators, but the percentage of people whose reaction to spiders can only be described as 'visceral' is substantial.

There's a bunch of disdain on both sides, huge amounts of rule-breaking, etc. People are people, people 'bend' rules toward their own gains. But the thing I want every car-driver to remember, when they talk about their dislik

EMP/Infrastructure destruction wholesale is a pretty safe bet for any first strike.

I think the point that this article somewhat strenuously tries to make is, if the ship was rotting and falling apart on the inside, why didn't it do it in the Brezhnev years, during the stagnation and attempted economic reforms, especi

Bus routes can be fixed, that's a months-years problem. I'm sure the city will adjust at some point, probably before 2018, to give Capitol Hill really amazing service. I was exaggerating a bit... but the highway basically runs rig

It seems to me that the fact that Capitol Hill was the unique, Bohemian, and affordable neighborhood that it was in your memories was just an accident of the 20th century. It's: * Right next to downtown * Has great views and * Ha

Cyanogenmod does allow this permission control. Unfortunately, CM is difficult for many users to implement (and impossible with some newer phones).

Or even better- start by quietly calling him to the principal's office. Ask him about his clock. Tell him people were thinking he might be wanting to pull some bomb pranks, and that would be a very bad idea. Ask him to tell his teacher

I'm guessing the 'lesson' from your iteration is that you increased prices most on a subset of goods- housing and utilities, health care, and financial services and insurance- while leaving the rest to track their industry. T

There are many more linguistically-oriented articles than usual today. I like it. Additionally, praat is really interesting software from the University of Amsterdam that allows you to analyze speech recordings and see what the vowels and c

Emacs is an awesome tool, but vanilla emacs is only ok. I highly recommend that you take a couple of days or so and try playing around with packages that apply to your use. That's where it really shines.

Well, Chrome is a very commonly used browser, and I would guess that other browsers look to it for guidance on features. Also, it seems to me that the post is only a proof of concept. "Hey, look at what happens here in this browser. I&
