    A computer can easily know right from wrong to the degree most humans are capable of (and too often they aren't very sophisticated at that) even today. But it's safe to assume that…

    In India corruption runs through all levels of government. This is a fact. So, yes, misuse is much more likely. I understand that you may have wanted to express that it's less like…

    When the forged certificate was created MD5 has been _throughly_ broken for a long time, much more so than SHA-1 even now.

    There is very little international law that governs interactions between nations. Those governments trusted their host. They were betrayed.

    I wonder why so many people believe this. Many simple and weak ciphers have been around for decades and - although they are considered to be very insecure by cryptographers - certa…

    It is certainly not one of the big newspapers, but still the largest regional one.

    Thumbs up for this coming from the conservative party as well. As others have said, this really is a bi-partisan issue and we should build as broad a coalition of the unwilling as …

    Who are those users to have an opinion of their own? If that's the way you think about your users, you probably don't deserve having them. Maybe some people don't like the design, …

    Yes. Just ensure that the glasses always show an LED when recording, one that can't be controlled by software drivers.

    My understanding is that MITM (but in a perfect way, using the leaked private key) is still required, if ephemeral Diffie-Hellman is involved. You can't just passively record the s…

    If moles are involved, they might have simply leaked the private SSL keys. If used together with MITM this would be almost impossible to catch.

    Yes, but how would they do this exactly? To collect anything valuable from Google they would need to MITM SSL on a large scale. And Chrome actually ships with a list of pinned cert…

    My thoughts exactly. And not just the content, but the vocabulary and the whole way the language is structured.

    If you are the recipient of the link, SSL can't be stripped. Even if you are an author, assuming you have visited the site over SSL at least once, then it can't be stripped on futu…

    No, he can't. Not without a valid SSL certificate for cryptonote.org. Sure, there are problems with CAs, but it would nevertheless be very difficult to obtain such a certificate.

    This article has it backwards. These workers don't work is unsafe conditions, _because_ we don't pay them enough. Rather, the economic reality in China means that in order to compe…

    Turkey was famously founded as a secular state ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La%C3%AFcit%C3%A9#Turkey ). Things may have changed, but still ... "Muslim" probably just refers to th…
