Why not. Is security through obscurity better than nothing at all?

I am surprised that more developers do not run a code scrambler on their code before compiling a release. Also, why would you name the variable where you store the key "FACEBOOK_CUSTOMER_SECRET" rather than "AKED223KWN"

No, not at all. My laptop has a 1Gbit network card, I paid for it, and yet I do not expect to connect to the internet at 1Gbit all the time. Car = equipment, road = ISP connection. This is also the reason why I stated that I, and I think mo

I use BTSync to sync some of my server content. Why should my BT traffic wait behind your stupid Netflix movie! I pay for 12Mbit connection, and I expect to get a 12Mbit connection regardless of weather the rest of the people in my neighbor

Patent discussion aside, I just want to point out that battery powered cars are NOT the solution to global warming, at least not at the current state of technology. Aside from all the environmental damage involved in producing the lithium c

Perhaps its more logical to refer to all of these types of action as "broadcast" rather than "share" actions. You are "broadcasting" a picture to facebook, or a link to the file via twitter, or the actual file

People who are normally getting <500Kbit connection on a Verizon DSL can get the full 3Mbit connection over a VPN during the same time of day. So, is it that Verizon does not have the capacity, or is it that they are specifically throttl

It strikes me like this would be good evidence in an antitrust case against ATT, Verizon, and other ISPs. In most markets there is only one high speed ISP, and one can argue that they are using their monopoly power to force other competitor

But you have to take a look at the entire product as a whole. No consumer would confuse the LG Prada with Apple iPhone. LG has a physical keyboard, much sharper edges, 3 physical buttons on the front, different software layout, etc. Even th

Could any one who knows more about this more than I do answer me this. Would this extension framework allow an app to stream a file and have it played in another app. For instance, on my Android TV stick I can open my network share in ES Fi

The most obvious example of trying to copy the design is the charge cable of the galaxy tab. Apple's charge cable was ridiculously and unnecessarily wide, as is evident by the fact that later on they switched to the new design of the l

In US you would argue fair use while the book publisher would argue that you infringed their copyright by harming the market for that book. Once you scan the book, you no longer have any need to buy it, thus they loose an extra sale. Of cou

Have you guys looked at the patents in this case? They look thick and serious, but if you actually read the claims, you will soon realize that it's nothing but an obvious and straightforward procedure for deciding when and with whom to

Being a lazy person by nature, at least when it comes to things I do not care about, I always took outline style notes on a computer. I think the key to note taking is not necessarily the implement you use but rather how you take the notes.

Wouldn't one solution to this problem be telecommuting combined with contract based model. You put a team together for a project, work the project, and let every one know up front that this is a temporary gig, not a permanent job. Like

With all the problems and corruption in the American system I honestly hope that there is something better to aspire to. Russia is incredibly corrupt, and so is Mexico, but America is not without it's faults either.

The solution for this would be to change the purchase approval model where you have to enter your password to purchase anything. You can have to options: 1) authorize until closed, or 2) authorize just this purchase. This way kids could not

You have to keep in mind that the biggest tech story from last year was also the biggest political story of last year. So, the numbers would be skewed towards rise in political stories, but it could be simply due to the overlap.

What I find interesting is that apparently YouTube can differentiate between fake and real views. But Facebook can not differentiate between fake and real likes. Difference, YouTube pays you, but you have to pay Facebook. Hmm...

Money for money sake is silly. You can't take it to your grave, and you can't enjoy it unless you spend it. But there are a lot of cool toys money can buy, like space rockets or cool cars and motorcycles. In my case money would bu

Money is certainly not an indicator of true success, other than, of course, success of acquiring money. However, why is money vulgar. Sure, there are many vulgar things one can purchase with money. But money in and of it self isn't vul

The problem with low orbit satellites is the backbone connection speed. The way I understand it, the individual connections to each subscriber isn't really a problem. But say you have a satellite serving 10k clients at one time. If you

What does a market with competition looks like? 20 cables from 20 different ISPs hanging outside my window? ISP is a utility, like water, electricity, and gas. Maybe once we have good wireless technology it would be different.

They need to regulate ISPs as common carriers. Anything short of that will result in ISPs constantly lobbing to get more say, until they get what they want. We can NOT rely on the free market to sort the ISPs out because there is 0 competit
