More specifically, they want to be a Good Little Doggy for Verizon, by far the most anti-net-neutrality ISP, and the FCC is being led by a former Verizon lobbyist. "Drain the Swamp," LOL!
Yep, the future of torrenting is on I2P. The only reason it hasn't been done is due to a chicken-and-egg popularity problem. It needs to be popular to be fast and have lots of content, and it needs to be fast and have lots of content to be popular.
If you're going to link to conspiracy site and RT mouthpiece zerohedge, why not link to the Enquirer too so that we can learn about bigfoot's alien babies?
Luckily things are very likely to get better soon with AOMedia's AV-1 (similar to other opensource efforts as OPUS, Vorbis, etc. it's designed to be patent-free) (and its has all the big names behind it - including Google and Netflix, i.e.: most of the content watched only - but also hardware manufacturer, etc.)
Ah good news, it would be no help as another technological footnote like Vorbis & Theora.
Funny you mention this, because someone at Intel let slip that there is a special ME firmware installed on computers sold to certain government entities...
Biometric authentication is like a password that can never be reset, can be stolen off your body, and in some cases, that you accidentally leave copies of all over the place (fingerprints). They're fine as a second factor but the hard, cold, fad-deflating truth is that nothing beats the security of the good ol' password. A strong password can be hard to crack and is the hardest form of credentials to steal (requires torture or an fMRI machine). People are often careless with passwords but biometrics are no solution to that, for the reasons I mentioned before.
..."Jesus fuck!" and "Motherfucker!" are among things I said out loud while reading the summary. Why can't intelligence and law enforcement resist becoming the Stasi? Why do they always target innocent protesters for illegal surveillance?
Paul Krugman's forecast that if Trump wins "the stock market will crash and will *never* recover"
Give it time, I know it feels like it's been a year but it's been less than 4 months. Have you seen the economic suicide pact he calls a tax plan?
I for one knew the chance of Trump winning was very real. The people who voted for him have always been there, waiting for an opportunity. After WW2 they expressed a desire to genocide the Japanese in a newspaper poll. It's good to see that a minority of voters voted for him, but I wasn't surprised.
I'd be more surprised if a group with the NSA's budget, talent, and goals didn't build a system to attack encryption with brute force.
Combine massive computing power with clever ways of narrowing the target...for example, something like an advanced dictionary attack would improve the odds against encryption keys that a human has to remember. Most computers don't use very high quality random numbers, there's potential for weakened encryption there I'm sure.
So if you have this system, you can give it your most potentially valuable encrypted data and let it work on that 24/7/365 in the hope that it pays off, because you can do that on a practically unlimited intelligence budget. I'll only be disappointed if the program isn't named Sisyphus...although Cipher Lotto would also be acceptable:-P
Hey now, maybe those 10% of people were in sparsely populated states, and therefore their opinions are worth more due to the amount of unoccupied land surrounding them:-P
I'd miss Google Search and maybe Gmail but I could live without Alphabet AKA "Google's EU antitrust shield". Amazon is convenient but there are plenty of other places to buy things online. My life would be markedly improved if Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft went away.
judging from his questioning believe that he's neither an idiot nor a nasty crooked partisan operative. It's pretty clear to anyone who followed the case closely that he made a serious mistake in judgment, and that's it.
Maybe, but this is one of those situations where sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice.
You're making up the part about Comey being portrayed as fine and upstanding, so there's no conflict there. The issue is that the behaviour he's supposedly being fired for is something that Trump had praised him for multiple times in the past.
What made me realize that James Comey is not actually an idiot as I had suspected, but a nasty crooked partisan operative, is that he felt compelled to reveal the fine details of the re-opening of the investigation into Hillary's emails...but did not feel compelled to make a peep about the FBI's investigation into the links between Russia and the Trump campaign which was happening at the same time.
At this point I wouldn't even be surprised if Comey was hampering the Russia investigation, firing him may have the opposite effect that Trump wanted.

Very interesting website! Added to my RSS feeds.

If my browser was crashing every 30 seconds I would suddenly be very focused on why my browser is crashing.
No, that's when it's small doses of meth.

I would vote for that hard and fast! It would not only make politics much more transparent, but more visually interesting.
Maybe he'll get laid because of this!
Does the current crop include anyone who isn't a Verizon sockpuppet? If so, them.
Yarr, you're welcome to re-join the crew mateys, if ye haven't become a bunch of lilly-livered DRM-lubbers!

May be just a rumor, I've heard of it more than once recently. Here's one instance:

Recently I've got the feeling that most of my computers' CPUs are woefully underpowered all the sudden, thanks to H.265/HEVC videos.

Not sure it makes sense to talk to Trump about what's going to happen in December at this rate...

This is more similar to the Sybil system in Psycho-Pass. Well, what the Sybil system is *supposed* to be anyway...
