In my eyes, the most important argument for protecting your data in any case is that you lose the control on how the data is interpreted by anyone. Privacy just limits the possible…

The obvious solution: Get you business out of those countries with expensive litigations (or a patent system). I think, it will become a competition issue like we have with tax hea…

I agree. It's a commercial top-down event. It is all about monetization. North Korea could not organize a better 'party'.

I don't get why people cannot get their head around the differences between a RuntimeException and a generic Exception (which btw. are not the only types that can get thrown). What…

That's the correct question. The only reasons for changing a running system: 1) You run out of staff that is able to maintain the platform. 2) You run out of hardware to run the pl…

Lets face it: There is no system that fits all the needs of everyone and is simpel and easy to use from everyones personal point of view. There is no such thing and each system tha…

You are talking about a first world problem. But Linux distributions are not only for first world countries with high speed Internet available at every square meter (in a major cit…

The problem is Time. You would have to save (or predict) the state of the universe for measuring the distance somehow. And the universe changes constantly over time. Lets say the u…

I prefer streamingsoundtracks.com - with soundtracks, I only get jewelry done! ;)

I totally agree. And if #2 is implemented, they have to give a larger amount of that money away again, to pay the sites displaying their ads. That's the money which makes the curre…

So 'Tiny Tower' and 'Dream Heights' are rip offs of 'Sim Tower'?

That is why I believe, that this is more about espionage than security. Even if it happens rarely. Security is just the official excuse.

First hacker rule when crossing a border: Wipe your disks or do not bring disks at all. This also applies to companies who do have strong competitors who work with the authorities …

Next year's resolution: Getting out of holding / prison without compromising the passphrase to your fully encrypted disk.

I always wondered why the majority of larger sites are using external Ad-servers and not a server within their own domain which requires less quirks to deliver and measure ads.

Infringing plattforms will adapt and at some point they need to blacklist the entire Internet.

Sounds like he has worked alot on awful Java projects. He probably writes something equal to this about Python in the future.

In doubt mankind will survive another 2500 years.

People are naive, so are businesses.

I wonder when the spammers start to pay for those incidents... Hope, you and your friends are well!

Rumors say, that it was a single guy, the one who did the shootings as well. Looks like a timed attack. I expect it to be some sort of right wing background. It's so sad. Tomorrow,…

The patents are from 1994 and 1996. They have nothing to do with the iPhone or Android. They are just used to supress competition today, when technology advanced in at way where th…

There is a problem: The document must be valid. That's why people struggle with Regex instead. Or you have to use or build a fault tolerant parser.
