This could actually be extremely convenient to use in many parts of Africa where place simply do not have addresses. Right now what we do is latitude longitude, which works wonders…

I haven't read that book, but asked for a summary. Honestly, I cannot see software being regulated the same way as food industry is, for the very simple reason that software can tr…

Really? It is up to them if they want to use what I wrote. Why would I get fined or jailed for not writing documentation? Good luck trying to prove any wrongdoing. If you want supp…

Conspiration is 30 years maximum. Actually committing a terrorist act and being convicted locks you up for good in a supermax prison. So yeah either way you're locked up for a VERY…

As long as your Tails and your VeraCrypt utility are in a USB key out of reach from the police, you should be able to plausibly deny.

While that won't erase what the accused have gone through during 16 months(!) of detention, I think it's still good news to see that the State has been condemned for its actions. T…

3 years ago, I extensively used the all-company's shared filesystem to pass information between 2 independent Jenkins instances (One on Windows for jobs that worked best under a Wi…

It's been almost 60 years since Europeans and Americans last fought for better working conditions, and a little less than 100 years since child labor has been banned. Is it because…
