I'm paranoid ;) It may be that Apple already fully cooperates with the FBI to unlock devices. And this whole public dispute is just orchestrated. I predict that Apple wins big and that their victory will be very public and greatly cele

Never touch or even stand close to an antenna that's transmitting. Even small mag loops with 10 watts of power will cause serious burns if touched.

OK. I'd like to see a full packet capture. And technically, the address was not 'harvested'. He gave it to them when he sent them packets. The story strikes me as very dramatic and over the top because of statements such as t

Unless I missed something in the article, I'm not sure this is odd or malicious behavior. The NTP servers know your IPs because you sent packets to them from those IPs. So you basically told them what your big random 128-bit IPv6 addre

Neat project. I would not mind that view occasionally (perhaps as an option) but not all the time. Thanks for the link.

Boost Python is great for C++ shops too.

For core routing on fast networks, I tend to agree. Outside of that, commodity hardware and open source work just fine.

Medium sized stable businesses. Small shops can't afford them. Large shops (Google, Facebook) hire people and use open source software.

In less developed countries where power is unreliable, small simple phones with long battery life dominate. The market demands a phone that can go at least three days and ideally five before requiring recharge. They can't charge power

The main driver is efficiency. Smaller, faster, cheaper. More accessible. More convenient. That's basically the heart of all technology advancements. However, the end result may or may not be better/higher quality. Transportation

Would there be an archive of the original books stored somewhere like the seed vault in Norway? It seems having one would be a good thing.

Also, the government occasionally allows a radio amateur to operate. Just this month, North Korea was active on HF (last time was 2002). They'll be active again in Feb 2016: http://www.arrl.org/news/p5-3z9dx-conclu

Yes, it is (especially UDP). Many networks still don't filter properly. "The solution to this problem, described in RFC2827, which was written some 13 years ago by Paul Ferguson and Daniel Senie, is to block IP packets entering

I do 9 x 14 in my head by breaking it down. I assume others do this too. Anyone should be able to break a problem down (pre or post tech generation) and do the small parts, then put them together to answer the bigger question. In general, t

One day, many networks will simply drop TLS connections that cannot be decrypted and inspected on the fly. Outbound SSH and general application packet data that has high entropy will be dropped too. These certs are used to terminate TLS con
