With computing power that could be available to government it's more than feasible to run dictionary or even bruteforce attacks. Most people have shitty passwords. Also there's always possibility that specific solutions will be available in particular case. Dumping this on corporations simply isn't future proof solution, gov will need to have own security expertise. Not to mention there always be crypto solutions that aren't maintained by particular corporation, or maintained by corporation in other country.
There is no "unbreakable" encryption. Thus nobody can realistically be in favor of it. What DOJ is actually arguing in favor is making it corporation's responsibility to break own ciphers, and such position is most definitely unreasonable. If such corporation "helps" law enforcement(i.e. provides tools or does all the work) then only that corporation will influence the result. It can say the message contained anything it wanted, and government wouldn't be able to verify it. People in DOJ are just lazy and no way it will ever actually work.
If not EU, there are other world powers that could support their independence. And Catalonia has some territorial claims on France too. This could result in more diplomatic conflicts in the future. Having Catalonia in EU would lessen the possibilities for them. While not letting Catalonia go independent could result in a civil war on territory of EU.
It could be argued that foreign propaganda actually brought down Soviet Union. At least it contributed more than any foreign ads to Trump election. US still do a lot of propaganda in Russia. Could easily target their country of origin too. No actual Russian would ever look into BLM stuff unless he works on a US owned company that would give him such a task.
Seems like this could explain it. While sonic weapon explanation makes no sense. No wargoal can be achieved by causing such symptoms and such weapons would be useless.
GNU/linux for sure managed to supplant a lot of commercial unices, with which it has a lot of compatibility and common software. But this is not about compatibility only. Desktop computer OS usage has a lot of inertia due major number of lazy, non tech savvy users. In such a market even 3% share is a major win.
Software quality on Macs had sharply declined and you aren't in any better position than a windows or linux user anymore wrt stability and bugginess. So the only remaining reason to use anything Apple now is to show your social status.
In this case US laws are not just "harsh" but closer to cruel and unusual punishment. To the point that other countries could be justified giving political asylum to any people accused of computer crime by US government.
No, even if I look at whole context it still makes no sense to exclude Russia. Like who else would care more about situation here, or actually know about it for that matter, other than people living in Moscow?
If you check the map then Moscow most definitely is located in eastern part of Europe, and attaching any other meaning to it is deceptive, capitalization or no. Sometimes Eastern Europe also rather confusingly refers to Slavic dominated part of Europe, but even then Moscow still belongs there.
Well, I live in Eastern Europe, in city called Moscow. And I frankly don't see anything different wrt US vs Russia. Both countries are equally based on Western European groupthink ideology. Both in ideology and in practice there's no difference whatsoever, at least as far as ruling elites are concerned. They could be as well coming from same nation.
I think it would be better to have a single standard for IM identity and bridging, so people could jump messaging apps without losing their contacts. A single federated IM protocol strictly speaking isn't needed for this.
Anti-vac trend can also be considered a form of critical thinking. Not everyone have time or inclination to properly research everything so there is always a need in some sort of trust chains in research of such information. The issue here is that official trust chain associated with government and mainstream science is no longer widely accepted in the populace. People just turned to new trust chains due to official ones too often pushing poorly researched and self serving information. If you're spreading too much nonsense and misinformation then even truth you share along the way can get tarnished.
Laptops people installing linux on used to have problems with sleep mode too.. If microsoft just makes own linux distro and calls it "Windows" nobody gonna notice:P
This is merely part of entrenched view on gender roles in society. Everyone are less likely to look down on woman looking for easier ways than on man doing so, because women are supposed to be weaker. It's easy to take advantage of entrenched prejudice when it benefits you, and no one can really protest this side of prejudice. Men can't because that'd make them look like chauvinist assholes. Women won't because it benefits them.
I don't think that existence of Mozilla will be the deciding factor of the success of the language. For example, no particular corporation was supporting C++ initially, and even now core C++ design is done by volunteers. Even if Mozilla goes bankrupt a community can still thrive around the language if it deserves it. If not then it'll eventually wither in any case, even if Mozilla ends up thriving.

It didn't suffice in case of Aaron Swartz.
Using torture?
Whatever power that supports Catalonia could do the heavy lifting, if that power is not EU..

Well if you can just lend it in the library for free then how come letting you read it online for same price would be harmful?

I'm a Russian, and I never murdered anyone. So you can stop loving me now. Truth is more important than love, so I won't pretend to be a murderer :P
People who buy high core count processors have more spare money. That's the only justification possible or needed.

Just use irc over ssh. No way they'd block ssh. That'd make system administration a pain for everyone including them :P

With their export volumes they're less likely to go broke than US.. oh wait.

Trump's not nearly as bad as George Bush Jr in that regard.
