Now grandma can't get her copy of a 3D printed gun! How will she ever make that one-shot pistol she's always wanted?
Seriously though, Facebook is losing relevance and traffic by the day and parading stuff like this around isn't going to help them. Nobody was going to Facebook to find links to 3D weapons blueprints before, and they still won't now. Short your Facebook stock now while they're still swirling in the toilet.
Rust can go and, well, rust. If you want to get safer C, than add Cyclone support to gcc and use that. No rewrites, no learning a new language, no hitching your project to a SJW converged organization that is slowly dying, no fanboys who pathetically spam puff pieces on Slashdot...
Seriously, Cyclone or any of the other safe-C alternatives are better and less intrusive than a Rust rewrite.
I used to, but my webhost SmarterASP.NET decided to store their backups on the same SAN as the actual data, so I now have no emails.
You are either extremely OCD and manually archive anything important or don't use your email for anything noteworthy that you want to keep for future reference.
In further news, the UK Conservative Party has decided to rename themselves Norsefire in an effort to provide "strong leadership in times of terrorism".
If they know to whom you're talking, or what pictures you're taking, or what documents you're reading or writing, or where you are at any given moment
Well, I'll be sure to give them something to look at. Since this is plain HTTP, technically I can send them anything if I know the right URLs. So they'll see me talking to the presidents of various countries (some friendly, some not), taking pictures of goatse, reading leaked classified documents, visiting motorolasucks.com, and visiting various locations around the north and south poles, North Korea, and Motorola HQ.
Mix in enough chaff and it's harder to separate the real data. Too bad the article doesn't list the URLs, since I'm never in hell going to buy a Motorola phone.
If Windows notifies programs about suspends/shutdowns (not sure it really does), TrueCrypt needs to dismount immediately and do whatever it needs to do to protect its key.
It does. Just make sure the options "Dismount all when: Entering power saving mode" and "Wipe cached passwords on auto-dismount" are checked in the TrueCrypt settings (Settings -> Preferences) and you should be good. This will automatically dismount all TrueCrypt drives and wipe any cached passwords from memory when sleeping or hibernating.
Ron Paul tried that very technique, but he got stonewalled by the party establishment and had the rules changed at the last minute to exclude him. People are beginning to realize that changing the parties from the inside out doesn't work as long as there are power hungry people controlling the rules and making decisions for the party.
But this only works if you try and work within the party. Once Tea Party Republicans realize that they can't beat the powerful and corrupt using their rules, than we'll see a mass exodus followed by a party collapse rivaling the Whig party.
Rather, you are willing to give a gun to a complete non-government stranger because complete non-government strangers have never done anything illegal, or the achieve his agenda.
Yes, not because you know he hasn't done anything illegal, but because the probability that he's wrongly killed someone is extremely low. On the other hand, an armed governmental stranger (especially a cop) is much more likely to have wrongly killed someone. It probably wasn't illegal (since the government makes the laws in the first place) or if it was it was ignored, but they have a much higher tendency to wrongfully kill someone because they have done it before and gotten away with it or they know they can.
What's the point in using 2.0 in the first place if 1.9 will do?
If you'll read TFA, they're doing it so that jQuery will be much faster and more modular. If you just use 1.9, you're punishing everyone who has a sane browser. Their code will run slower so that it won't break for the drones using ancient versions of IE. By offering both and choosing server side, you have the speed and support of the new versions and still support grandpa's Windows XP computer. Eventually Windows XP will die a long deserved death and version 1.9 can go with it.
Any way we can "strike back" and demolish this MCPC crap? Some slashdotter who finally gets fed up and trashes their servers would be a nice punishment.
Actually if they really looked at things, which they don't, I don't think it's good for the %1 at all to suppress freedom.
It all depends on how they got their money and power. If they got it by producing the best things that people want, then it's not good for them. But if they got their money by regulating away their competitors, enriching themselves through subsidies, or empowering themselves through controlled media then it's in their best interests to restrict freedom. Allowing Internet freedom could threaten their guaranteed profits (by circumventing restrictive copyrights and patents) or threaten their power to influence people (by allowing the free flow of information). That's why they keep trying to pass these bills. Instead of trying to innovate their way to more profits, they turn to forcing people either directly or indirectly to give them more profits through government action.
Meh. I have a better one: "Method and application for use of the Higgs Boson to generate speculative stories which are published on technical news sites to derive ad revenue."
This is actually the best solution. The "browser pluggable module" makes this system not much better than Flash or Silverlight. It's not architecture independent, and not secure. If the plugin is automatically downloaded, than it'll have to be very heavily sandboxed to keep a malicious website from sending malware instead. If the plugin has to be installed manually, it's not any different from Flash except that you have to install multiple ones for different sites's DRM schemes.
Javascript is the best solution for making it work across multiple browsers. It's already standardized and implemented, and it's architecture and platform independent. Hulu and Netflix can't send it plain, since Hollywood would complain, but a JS solution would be secure enough. Java and.NET are fairly easily decompilable, but you still see Hulu and Netflix making Android and Windows Phone apps.
The main issues would be speed and API difficulties. To support this, it would be best for browsers to implement:
A standardized Javascript crypto library implementing common, patent-free algorithms like AES, RSA, and DSA. This would make implementing the DRM scheme easier, keep the decryption fast, and could take advantage of hardware optimizations (AES-NI).
Hooks for decrypting video content. Let the browser play the video, but have it invoke a JS event that could decrypt the content before it is played.
Optional: A "secure memory" object for storing the keys. This might provide Hollywood with enough security that they'd let something like this fly.
On a side note I am curious how you get a hold of the torrent without a link and only a magnet file?
While it can contain a link to a tracker, most magnet links just contain a hash of the.torrent file and use the DHT system. Your torrent client would look up the hash in the DHT and find a user who is currently downloading or seeding the file. It then downloads the.torrent file from them.
Are sites containing strictly Magnet URIs, which I assume provide no resources for locating the tracker nor piers that would provide file, illegal or legal in the US?
It depends on how much hand-waving and bribing the MAFIAA do. Several years ago I would say that they would probably be legal, since you're not getting the file from them and the "link" to the files is very weak. Nowadays it really doesn't matter, our due process doesn't apply as long as the politicians and prosecutors are sufficiently bribed. They'll just seize your domain, block your donations, and threaten/raid your web hosts without judicial approval.

What would be better is to eliminate the import quotas and tariffs on sugar, so that it's more affordable than corn syrup/sugar.

The Supreme Court has not definitively settled the issue. In Hamdi it ruled that authorization to use military force grants power to detain citizens captured on a foreign battlefield. Padilla, which dealt with a U.S. citizen captured in the U.S., was resolved by his indictment and conviction before the Supreme Court can rule on the issue. Thus, whether the government can detain a U.S. citizen captured on U.S. soil is unsettled as a national question.
Don't worry. President Gingrich will happily ignore the decision and detain them anyways!

Get b&, creep.
Many sites bock certain sort of access from Tor relays, so a few users might notice their infection because of that.
The sites only block Tor exit nodes. Unless the botnets are turning these computers into exit nodes, they won't be blocked.
Java has yet to be ported to the Pi's floating-point, so the only option is to use soft floats.
Does Minecraft work with Icedtea? From what I've seen Icedtea works fine with hard floats, it's just the Oracle Java that doesn't support it yet.
