I've used KeePassX + Dropbox for 5 years across Windows, Linux, OSX, iPhone and Android. With Dropbox's restriction to 3 devices, and since this is the only thing I use Dropbox for…

I know I'm not financially liable, but when the bank has to cancel and reissue my card (with a new number), it's still annoying to have to go and switch it everywhere. Smaller surf…

I feel like I'm trying to decode a regex. Could you reword that a little clearer?

That means they're less likely to have their servers and data seized by the US Gov't (assuming it's all hosted in Canada, and not an EC2-US instance), but the .com address is a US …

With the way the article compared it to donating organs, I figured this was a system for releasing information after death. In that case, the de-anonymizing problem is less of an i…

3. I think he was referring to aggregate file size (total amount stored) not a single file. If that's the case, his point still stands. 4. He was probably saying that, as the avera…

They both know it was the validated owner of user@example.org, so if Service1 and Service2 compare their users, they will see the same e-mail address.

I think that's only true if it was known how many wallets were actually lost. As is, the fraction of worth captured in that wallet can never be re-distributed to other people who o…

They shouldn't be able to patent the idea of a holodeck, which I thought was the main argument in this article. The mechanics of using force fields (or whatever) would still be the…

Yes, I agree. I've 'protested' my two senator's stance for PIPA, but I made sure to call and thank my House rep for opposing SOPA.

The article postulates that there isn't a timestamp in the pattern of dots because the pattern is consistent on a specific printer, regardless of when the print happened.

Interesting. I hadn't thought of that.

According to http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6134/135/ , IP addresses issued by American Registry for Internet Numbers (the US regional IP issuing agency) is under the SOPA…

I also hacked together TiddlyBox, which lets you leave your TiddlyWiki on your Dropbox and edit it directly. It's a simple WAR file that'll run in any Java container (Jetty, Tomcat…

I don't see the OpenID here. I see them restricting me to only 4 third-party sites. Since there doing that, using OpenID or using each third party's system makes no difference. Ope…

And his point seemed to be a simple joke on how most people expect the justice system to work. No big deal.

The "facts" on the reunification page are... interesting: http://www.korea-dpr.com/reunification.htm It's so far out there, I become suspicious that this is a joke. But then, most …

I was hoping to find a "for example, S4 can be used to" line in there, but I didn't see it initially. I assume filtering the Twitter fire-hose of data could be a common use?

Doesn't this mean that if someone steals your phone, they can easily log into your facebook and take over the account (change your real password and e-mail)?
