and you'll find z-code interpreters for pretty much any device you can think of. I like in particular Gargoyle [1][2] which stands out as the only one with great font rendering/typ…

Well that didn't make a whole lot of sense. The most methodical use of the methods of rationality you'll find are the natural sciences and they are incredibly open to anyone intere…

Your initial assumption was correct, it is widely deployed in the industry, there are multiple vendors that provide fingerprinting technology that is orders of magnitude more advan…

then the premise of the article is inherently flawed :(

Doesn't the process of compression (to make it seem louder) destroy some of the information? I always assumed this was a irreversible process?

I always thought its kind of funny that everyone believed this to be true when in reality you could just deactivate the sound in the driver settings. Which I did pretty much immedi…

You upload your files to dropbox servers, how in the world can you come to the delusion that you would notice when they accessed/searched/data mined your files?!

My thought was: they draw a map like this, if thats any indication of there ability to scientific/rational thinking, no wonder they never find the origin of (their particular) Hum.…

Lavabit closed down because they would otherwise be required by law to compromise their entire customers security. Also as it is part of a NSL that no one is allowed to talk about …

qemu can run portable, no root/admin necessary.

besides the ever-growing list of powerful features (async stack traces?!), I would add usability, I regret clicking "Inspect element (Q)" every time, also the only reason I have a …

Can be checked with "openssl s_client -host chat.freenode.net -port 6697 | openssl x509 -text" They updated their vulnerable openssl but did not change their certificate. Since the…

apologetic much? Its funny that you mentioned updating, its in fact the case that any network operator (or potentially anyone who can afford the equipment and has the knowledge/key…
