    It's interesting, but it sounds more like a political/societal theory rather than actual events or state of the society. It would be much more interesting and largely shareable if …

    In some places it always was better (it's OpenStreetMap data) e.g. in the Puna de Atacama desert in Argentina/Chile, Google Maps is years behind in therms of map precision. Lots of…

    It all depends on how you define malware. If malware is software doing something that is contrary to the user's interests, then for many users it is indeed malware.

    Looks like this only works on smartphones? Well... no thanks.

    Code 128 supports some ISO-8859-1 indeed, but it requires switching between encodings (there are 3 of them), and couldn't work with 128B (I guess the one used by the font, as it su…

    I think that the start of the article is at least a bit exaggerated: SSH is yet another example of an ancient technology that is still in wide use today. Ancient technology? If it …

    On which OS? On Windows, with the Swiss German layout AltGr+m does nothing. Probably the same on US ones.

    Might be AltGr-m on Linux (didn't try).

    That's what I do, actually, although I use Alt+230 because I remember the code from CP437.

    The problem is that µ is usually hard to type (unless you have a Greek keyboard or a custom keyboard mapping). This said, although I tolerate stuff like "47 uF" in electronic schem…

    Interesting. The header size seems big for low-resources embedded systems (e.g. with only 256 bytes of EEPROM). I'd rather use a file identifier (e.g. a 8-bit number) to identify w…

    Someone already mentioned the mouse cursor... is it supposed to be solved? Now I see... none, which is kind of pointless on desktop.

    What does this bring compared to apt-get install-ing an established mail server like procmail or exim and configuring it to work as a relay for the local LAN?

    An e-mail address can have multiple @ also for... source routing. Of course it doesn't make any sense nowadays, but it's technically allowed. RFC 5321 gives an example: @hosta.int,…
