Do you have any data to back this up? I should hope people would be embarrassed to post wildly unsubstantiated nonsense under a username linked to them.

It's a random individual's approximation of the value added by their status as a government agency; and no, we patently /don't/ pay for it through taxes (unless you count subsidize…

So, I think what you're missing here is that the 'verification' is a formal specification about the behavior of the kernel, along with a set of proofs about that specification. Thi…

You're effectively talking about APRS[1]. [1] http://www.aprs.org

I use a weechat relay over websockets (via nginx). It's a pretty convenient solution to the whole "my corporate firewall thinks I'm part of a botnet" issue (in addition to giving y…

It's worth mentioning that all these measures can be fairly trivially defeated by the analog loophole[1]. I suppose it's harder to prove authenticity in that case, however. https:/…
