Yes: no software, no ports, all media is tangible, no storage, hard to fingerprint (compared to say inkjets). However there is one problem with typewriters people generally forget:…

As per all magazines, it declined to 10% content and 90% advertising that you had to pay a large chunk of cash for. Good riddance to them all.

there are no facts in your comment. Please cite your sources. Not only that, my hypothesis hasn't been debunked or disproved.

My point is that it will show up in a diff of the binaries.

Actually that's a really bad comparison. The binary size may be similar but that doesn't mean the content is. Consider the two cases below to back up my assertion: 000000WE_COME_IN…

You underestimate the problem. Look at just chrome for example, which I've posted my rationale for here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6035091 Not a chance in hell.

That assumption relies on two uncertainties: 1. The probability of discovering something in all that binary code, especially with the intricate and non-orthogonal nature of x86/x64…

Well you hope it is. All sorts can happen between source and binary.

Yes but some things rarely work perfectly. It scales fine. In fact it scaled for hundreds of years before electronic calendars appeared. They mobilized two world wars with pens, pa…

Congratulations on making me snort tea up my nose :)

And before someone else says this is bollocks, I've worked at a company with shared source access to Windows and there are still bits you can't get at like the CSP implementations …

Well considering targeted advertising is fundamentally based on surveillance, it's pretty much the same thing.

I can't really be bothered with all that after basically writing that entire solution for a private company. Another metalanguage to learn... Plus I have to have a network connecti…

This is where Microsoft was 6 years ago. Before that, IBM/Lotus. Times will change again.

Evil is boolean if you ask me. Corporations don't deserve a second chance either.

You don't always hear reminders and invitations don't always work properly. I'd rather have neither than any that aren't trustworthy.

I spent several years using outlook, apple ical and windows live calendar. I then ended up having to write a backend for icalendar protocol and saw what a shit crock everything is.…

LINQ is not a magic bullet. It has some serious pitfalls. I'd like to aee people using the right tools for the job.

True. I only connect to two hosts and ssh on from there so non issue for me.

It's also really easy to shoot yourself with unless you understand everything and think each problem through. Four killer issues I've seen so far: We had a major production perform…

Or even better, right click putty on your taskbar in windows 7 and all your profiles are listed.

To be honest I think exposure was the software as you could reliably underexpose it and get the result you wanted. Colours, probably dynamic range as you state. Looking at the curv…

Yes. They are cycled out after a week. Our data is useless after then as most of it is real time. Audit logs are kept offline in gzipped daily text files per client and these are h…

I know the details and understand pixel oversampling etc. In the real world they produce acceptable photos for the type of device but it is nothing special and definitely over-mark…
