I'm sorry, but no; your comment was not in any way helpful to anyone here. People don't pick their hobbies purely based on cost. Suggesting "quit your hobby" / "pick a cheaper hobby" as a solution for any

This exploit requires the currently logged in user to be a member of the 'Admin' or 'Administrators' on OSX or Windows respectively. Windows also employs an innovative "defense by frustration" strategy, where t

Easier said than done. What are they going to retrain to? As AI continues to advance, more and more jobs will necome redundant. CGP Grey did a great video on this[1]. Even if you can't completely replace humans, often times, obe person

URI beacons are pretty interesting. They can indeed replace QR in many situations, but I'm still not 100% sold on it due to privacy and spam concerns. Those can probably be solved by using a 3rd party service to resolve the URL redirec

70 USD plus taxes and fees is about 70 EUR. I don't know if that's really so much better value. The utility of an internet connection doesn't scale linearly with speed. Once you're at the point where you can stream HD vi

Well, between the built-in click to play for simple use cases and noscript for more advanced setups, do you even still need FlashBlock?

This is neither particularly new, nor particularly dangerous. One possible attack vector would be abusing a filename/MIME mismatch to trick people into executing it locally. If you have a website that allows image uploads and keeps the

In is case SJW is too harsh of a term though. Last I checked, no one has sent any death threats yet.

I'm seeing one [relevant] link, an Australian senate hearing regarding the "Defence Legislation Amendment (Aid to Civilian Authorities) Bill 2006". This confirms my initial suspicion that it probably originated from some sort

That is not a plausible scenario at all. Gaben made it clear he's never going to sell out, and generally makes fun of people for suggesting it.

No one wants to go out and compare their project to Second Life though, since SL is (to put it mildly) a case study in what people will do given the ability to create anything they want.

Smells like a press release to me. Wouldn't surprise me if 90% if that article were reprinted verbatim from a PR piece.

That one was founded in 1992, the one mentioned in this article was founded in 1999. That's one heck of a "coincidence" right there, I'd say.

I was a little confused by the complaints, because it worked great for me on Firefox Mobile 33 (ignoring the sloppy editing that resulted in one paragraph appearing twice, search for the phrase "blue whale"). Then I tried again on

Especially since he narrowed it down so much. Gaining a root shell by piping something into sudo that causes it to skip asking for a password? That's what I took away from the article, and it certainly sounds like a plausible attack v

Well, if the Ara ecosystem takes off, it could lead us in that direction. A modular system to build any computing device you need. Remove the battery and put it on mains power. Replace the GSM radio module with ethernet. Install an ssh serv

Well, Google's problem was that they chose an easily implemented solution - capture everything that looks even remotely like wifi and then physically ship the HDDs to Mt.View for analysis. It just so happens that the easy solution is s

Well, that means the screen will not time out, and thus will not ask for a password. Baidu has location access too, so there's an obvious attack vector in disabling the screen time-out before sweeping in and confiscating the device. It

This is kind of problematic indeed. On one hand, it sounds reasonably "fair" for everyone involved. It seems that T-Mo is committed to impartiality (the site repeatedly mentions that all legal music services are eligible). They ar

Well, you're not gonna target the drones. You'll want to destroy the enemy's ability to control those drones, or their ability to build and maintain them. Or, more realistically/cynically, you want to PRETEND that's
