    The attack vector is a bit vague, and I'm not sure how to bring this news to some of my clients. Is the exploit only for when running services on/to the internet (IIS, Exchange web…

    Reminds me of BlackIce back in the day... awesome tool this Glasswire. This is what I wanted for everyday network paranoia.

    I can't find prototype diagrams with dimensions or something, did you find any? Please link? The paper is $25 .... mmm http://arc.aiaa.org/doi/abs/10.2514/6.2014-4029 This post has…

    If this works, and if it's scale able, it would be something like the impulse drive. A normal spacedrive for speeds far below C and without space-warp.

    But in space a few micronewtons per Kg is pretty usable.

    This should be banned. Really. I don't want this on the same road as my loved ones. When you are driving, you are driving. Not reading/tweeting. Even more, mounting "something" to …

    This does seem valid, in a way. But is the same not true about Bitcoin then? I'm confused.

    The solution to this kind of problems is: Make Read-only "disaster recovery" backups - zip it and burn it to a DVD set or Bluray, and put it off-site. Make incrementals or differen…

    All the miners would leave that pool if they did that. I would.

    Well, you are flying a semi-toy without proper safety near people, buildings, above roads, cars, etc on a tourist site. An arrest might be slightly over the top, but this should no…

    That would require trust - in the form of the SMS provider. No way to verify that SMS is valid, it could have been forged. The proof-of-work blockchain transmission means it's the …

    The blockchain can be pruned.

    Comment #8026967

    No, because proof-of-work prevents you from "faking" a blockchain. Let's say we are at block 100 and you would want to fake "the blockchain". You would have to fake a block every 1…

    With a DVB/Radio link to the network one could listen to transactions only to their address. You could think of bitcoin operated gas stations, bitcoin network-hubs in rural areas, …

    Wouldn't it be possible to forge the SHA1 or a document?

    Here's an idea: Put the files in encrypted containers on a Torrent network. Or use maidsafe.net or storj.io

    I'm pretty sure any industry that handles documents etc. that would require a non-forgeable timestamp would not want (or are allowed due to regulation) to upload a billion dollar c…

    Yes, but that would be a centralized solution. When Twitter dies (wont happen, but still) or a rogue admin changes the timestamp, etc. - It requires a trusted party - Twitter - ins…

    I wonder how this deals with like .docx files or .xlsx (Excel) files. Even of you change 0 fields it might end up "mutated" and the Proof does not longer work. A single flipped byt…

    The fact that this machine is still in operation is awesome. What a piece of engineering.

    I fly quad and tricopters a lot, and this is very unsafe. Any motor beyond 2210 size are flying meat-cutters. Even the plastic props, but especially the carbonfiber once can seriou…

    I don't remember the exact details, but I once had a DB admin flabbergasted because there was a non-numeric character in a field/row that was numeric. The DB engine crashed upon st…

    Don't exaggerate the impact of a kill -9. It can be safe if a homegrown application has a bug or there is a hardware failure preventing a clean reboot (like a locked IO to a disk t…
