There's a lot of posts mentioning that a scan shouldn't cause any trouble, however there's no way of knowing how the services are configured on the other end, or how they are set up to respond to certain packet types, or how

Agree with the last line 100% - although the same argument can just as easily be applied to any and all systems in any and all arenas. The fact that the potential exists leaves a margin for error, and a window for trouble, which is what the

Could this be a move to protect the stability of the highly lucrative Bitcoin market in China? From what I can discern from the article, this would only appear to significantly impact new cryptocurrencies and ICOs. Could it be a potentially

No arrogance nor ignorance meant from my post - if inferred, I take it back. The last line of the comment was aiming to bring my point across (which seems to have failed) - people do not need to label themselves as anything in order to be w

I think that education can only result from prior experiences, rather than projections. If the experience influencing education has come from those who have been 'through the ringer' at the companies pushing the technology forward

I don't think it's a case of non-businesses not being listened to, more so the there are not enough representatives outside of the business stakeholders at the table putting themselves forward for representation. There is no malic

I've been involved in standardisation within my industry for some time, and it's interesting to see how many people representing vendors are able to sway proceedings away from that which is technically neutral (and non-proprietary

I agree with xsynonym - stay away from ICOs. If wishes were horses... I wish I'd been born 10 years earlier and bought shares in Microsoft and Apple! There's no way of telling what will work and what won't (and also no way of

I don't doubt you, and I think that's an incredible shame to everything computing has enabled humanity to achieve.

This is what's good (and bad) about the cryptocurrency / blockchain (etc.) state at the moment. It's all pure speculation, and makes a fantastic study from an anthropological and economic standpoint into how the perception of

I had watched a clip from Hellraiser earlier today, and after a long day at work read the title of this post as "The Cenobite's brain..." :) Reading the article was equally as interesting had the above been true - there has a

Agreed - I think if they were really set on this they would release a 'pure' kernel or distribution devoid of any proprietary drivers, binaries, or non-GNU licensed code as a demonstration of how a true GNU-'compliant' d

Along the same lines, could we start describing the value of Bitcoin breaking through a price ceiling as Surface Mounting? :)

No - Your coins are safe under the single private key (i.e. wallet) on both chains, as all transactions prior to the fork are safely recorded on the blockchain for both forks (assuming the transaction out to the paper wallet was recorded to

Transfer them out to a paper or hardware wallet at a time when transactions are still visibly being hashed at a regular rate (overly cautious advice, but who's to say 100% that the miners don't decide to down tools for a day in pr

I'm a big fan of older programming books, and one of the favourites in my collection is Thomas Plum's 'Reliable Data Structures in C' book from way back when (1985!). While it pre-dates ANSI C and contains a few quirks y

Your post is valid from a technical and idealistic standpoint, however when you realize the size of the data sets turned over in the film / TV world in a daily basis, restoring, hashing and verifying files during production schedules i
