You can fake it with a number of extensions, but there's a load of fingerprinting options that are sneakier than the user agent. The Tor Browser project has a document outlining ch…

The real question is, can you delete it completely? :)

That's a fascinating idea, even if it's not made public to the end user. Getting the git blamed stacktraces mailed to the dev team would be interesting!

Definitely recommend this site, it was a big influence in my early programming days, I found it way more interesting than Project Euler.

Whenever said members/affiliates are former leaders we're really just splitting hairs. I get your point though, I mistook what he had said as there is no link at all between them. …

I don't get your comment?... prominent members from various versions of the IRA are and have been members of Irish governments, see Gerry Adams/Martin McGuinness (Or even Michael C…

Here's my reference for reference, http://www.slideshare.net/grugq/opsec-for-hackers (slide 137/138) I cannot recommend either, but I would note that in your link they do seem to s…

I don't want to slam your site too much, but just because You don't log Typeview information doesn't mean someone doesn't. If you're using regular HTTP then everything the user typ…

From what I remember, Wave had it optional as they even said themselves a lot of people were uncomfortable with the idea of people seeing their train of thought (and mistakes). It'…

If you have to update your browser to read a site, on a site that's main function is to provide someones thoughts in text form, then I'd consider the website at fault.

Yes, as far as I've heard, VPN -> TOR = DANGER, TOR -> VPN = PROBABLY_OK You should probably make the 'Lahana is not super secure' really BIG and BOLD for the reader so they can un…

I'd replace 'good at programming' with 'proven ability to ship'. Most of the time it's values way over a decent codebase from what I can see. Which is often fair enough!

Haven't done much golang and don't have it installed on this laptop, but are string comparisons constant time? If not, I think there is potential for a timing attack here? if usr =…

Someday ;) Perhaps there could be open whitelists where sites could nominate their sites as 'https only'. Wouldn't even need to be built into the browsers, could just be a thing pe…

That's a valid point, but I can't see it being an impossibility that the user will never accidentally stumble sending a http request rather than https. Whether that is user input, …

I said 'Not sure how valid that still is' for a reason :). I just found it extremely interesting and 'out of the box'. After reading up a bit on modern defences, I think you're rig…

I think it's also worth pointing out in Moxie's sslstrip talk he does go into detail on using IDN http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name to spoof something simi…

Could probably ensure it fits in the window nicely though, with zooming etc. Seeing only the North-West of London on screen without scrolling is not as useful. I'd imagine it's dam…

I'm pretty sure there's a market for this, I was in talks with a major Chinese company hiring to achieve a similar service for brands on Weibo (Chinese Twitter/Tumblr mashup). But …

It's just a larger, older model with less storage capacity! http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/82/8-inch_fl...

If by 'on there' you mean kicking ass and making bacon!

Today I learned the ISS has baby-wipes aboard it.

Oh yes, in source & commits it's fair game! I'm talking more about editorial content that might have been outsourced. E.g. how-to articles for a company product or articles written…

It really would be the best repo. I can see the commit logs being the stuff of legends! I don't see much use in profanity filters on the net these days, but it is definitely useful…

Could someone explain the economics driving this? Future up-selling?
