    I'm not "refusing to add TLS support" I insist that the certificate is safely isolated in a separate process for security reasons. There are many ways to skin that cat.

    Here is what I submitted: I am a well known FOSS developer. At one point code I had written protected half the passwords on the entire Internet, and today around a quarter of all H…

    I huge factor in iAPX432 utter lack of success, were technological restrictions, like pin-count limits, laid down by Intel Top Brass, which forced stupid and silly limitations on t…

    All the examples you bring up are from an entirely different time in terms of hardware, a time where one of the major technological limitations were how many pins a chip could have…

    The important bit here is "their failed approach", just because Intel made a mess of it, doesn't mean that the entire concept is flawed. (Intel is objectively the most lucky semico…

    Author here. This is one of those things, where 99.999% of all IT people have never even heard or imagined that things can be different than "how we have always done it." (Obligato…

    Just think how many people the new owners can spy on, now that they control the backend-servers ? Bandwidth is the only limit...

    And that's precisely it. Your right to encrypted communication, if there is such a thing, ends well before it is used to stage a coup or plan a bank robbery.

    And now you overlooked article 52 ? It's really very simple: NO human rights are absolute.

    Which is /precisely/ what is going on right now: ChatControl is a proposed new law, in compliance with the EU Treaty. ... Unless the EU courts find the law unconstitutionally broad…

    Somehow you overlooked that Article 8 has a second clause, even though it comes right after the bit you quoted ? 2. There shall be no interference by a public authority with the ex…

    I suggest you look into how much of chemistry, physics and biology has already been "outlawed", and how the legislatures went about it ?

    "fairly standard" is a bit of an understatement in this particular case. The machine actually has both an ALU as we know it, called the "VAL" board, but it also has a second unit, …

    I'm personally no fan of ClearCase myself, it's far to rigid for my taste. But if I were the pilot in an F-22 or the Space Shuttle, I probably would want it to be even more rigid :…
