Trojanow published his own account of the events here: http://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3... Apparently he had already been denied a work visa without exp…

It's a pun towards Project Butter. http://techcrunch.com/2012/06/27/android-jelly-bean-official...

You've got your timeline wrong. Facebook didn't support HTTPS for anything but user login until 2011. [0] https://www.facebook.com/blog/blog.php?post=486790652130

Read closely. Abdulrahman al-Awlaki was killed in a separate drone strike, two weeks after his father's death. The real target of that second drone strike is currently unknown.

I think it was mentioned somewhere that Snowden used GPG in his communication with Greenwald. At least some people inside the NSA seem to regard it as secure.

I found this part particularly interesting: "Our business is apolitical, okay? We do not generate the intelligence requirements. They're levied on us. And so if there is a requirem…

Apparently the iPhone doesn't support it. Quite sad since they actually enabled IPv6 support in iOS4.

If you compare it to the number of dreams people have around the world each night, it probably is rare. But then, it's not that difficult to learn and you also find quite a lot of …

Similar studies have been conducted by LaBerge and others for decades now. I did a brief search and found two examples: One that measured EEG for clenching hands (in 1986!) and one…

Well, it depends on the hard drives you're using, and the exact access pattern, but sequential access to disk can be even faster than random access to RAM.[0] This of course doesn'…

Nice analogy. From a technical standpoint, however, access patterns often make a bigger difference than the type of your storage device. The difference between sequential access on…

Apple has had Darwin on ARM processors for quite some time. It's called iOS. The cited project was porting Darwin to a certain ARMv5 chip. I don't know a lot about the ARM architec…
