Meh, that's why it's a token of appreciation. If I were the guy, I'd be more offended by money than by some marketing trinket; sending me money implies they thought my involvement was worth that amount of money, and it&#x27

I think Trojitá http://trojita.flaska.net/ has recently crossed the line from being a promising project to being a useful MUA. It has quite a good IMAP implementation.

Hmm. On my (US) Mac, switch input method to Arabic, hit af;m and get شبكة . So no harder to type than "info" really if you already have your machine set up to switch between Arabic and Roman/Latin keyboard layouts.

According to TFA, Openmoko/FIC is already giving out PIDs from their VID space to any FOSS projects who ask. IIRC they're not the first, either. And there've also been organizations freely allocating unique ethernet addresses

Well, according to this great book "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell (you might not have heard of him, but all the smart people are reading his stuff), one's first impression of something is sometimes amazingly accurate! So it&#x27

"sandipt", not "sandpit". I assume it's a first-name-last-initial style username of someone named Sandip.

This is a happy supposition, but I don't think it's borne out by historical evidence.

Even the self-described anarcho-capitalist libertarians of my acquaintance usually see the use of force as legitimate, as long as it's a non-governmental actor such as a private police force, mutual defense pact, enforcer of contracts,

Latex milk, white glue, grocery-store gelatin— they all work. You just need something thin and flexible that'll take an impression.

Nice idea until you're logging in from a slow/overloaded connection, or your ssh host is being flooded with traffic, or has a runaway process that's causing it to thrash, or lots of other reasons you might want to use ssh. I

Wow, so it does! (Along with the other more common keyboard layouts.) You have to dig under the "advanced" settings but it's there. Neat!

Cisco firewalls, by default , perform a MITM protocol downgrade attack on the SMTP sessions they see. They modify the SMTP setup to prevent the endpoints from negotiating STARTTLS and cause them to fall back to cleartext communication. Has

The following isn't directly applicable to your suggestion, but it's a reminder that an FPGA, just like a CPU, may not be doing exactly and only what you told it to do: http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~sps32/sec_news.

As I understand it most of the terribleness is in the key agreement stuff; the actual packet processing is a little ugly but is practical. So you could in theory set up (and regularly update) SAs manually with setkey(8), instead of having r

How is this different from using SMTP+STARTTLS with a DHE (or other forward-secret) ciphersuite? In currently deployed systems, if you have that enabled, it does exactly as you describe. The transfer over the internet is encrypted, but the
