Actually IxQuick is located in The Netherlands which is certainly not Germany and darn well good that it is not because Holland does actually concern itself with privacy protection, Germany on the other hand, not so much.
All this attempted security through obfuscation by these companies is ridiculous, this talk will fill the room at the conference this year and with good reason. Hopefully, but unlikely, the ATM manufacturers have been talking with Barnaby over the past year so that the exploits he will unveil are remedied.
By the way people, though the banks are the front, the ultimate responsibility for ATM device security lies in the manufacturer.
are the ones that are open to peer review. So Kudos to the Chinese for being smart enough to make these idiot companies with closed-source encryption technologies provide them with the source code for review. Good encryption does not rely on obfuscation of code and processes!
Pretty nifty for sure, but why a 3-D map? Why not solve a harder problem which is archival data storage? Seems to me being able to minutely etch the strings of 1s and 0s from a HD onto some material that either won't decay over time, or will decay so slowly as to vastly outlive optical and magnetic media, would be supremely useful for archival data storage.
The whole time I was watching all I could think was these pedophile child-rapist Muslims think they are morally superior? Something is really F'd up with these people. Killing women and raping children is not a problem, but don't you dare draw a picture.
On one hand they tell the users on their services to hold no expectation of privacy, then join a fight to keep information from the Government. Ah of course, providing information to the Government provides no profit. Hmmm I wonder how they would react if the Government offered to pay for the same information they are currently requesting be provided free?
While I understand your reasoning, please understand the concepts of morality apply only to humans. Microsoft corporation has no moral duty to do anything. Corporations are amoral, they are neither moral nor immoral, and as such they are only obligated to adhere to the rule of law in their pursuit of profit.

"I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. Unsuccessful rebellions, indeed, generally establish the encroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions as not to discourage them too much. It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government." - Thomas Jefferson
I was reading your comment which is good, and happened to notice a bias. You do not capitalize God, though you do capitalize Satan. I find that interesting and not knowing you surmise you define yourself as agnostic or atheist. Persons who do not capitalize the word God generally do so as an indicator that they do not believe in God. But you capitalize Satan so you seem to believe in Satan. If there is no God there is no Satan. Of course if you are a Satanist, then there is another reason altogether why you do not capitalize God and that reason I understand.
Unless an electronic communication is PGP signed it should never be trusted so use of Twitter by all Twits, especially POTUS, is ridiculous as it is completely insecure and unverifiable.
The security industry will always be unable to protect everyone 100% of the time. It is impossible to protect the clueless from anything.
AntiVirus is imperfect as it relies on signatures and known processes, and will always be imperfect. Same with IDS and the lot of it.
In my opinion, as long as the security industry, and end-users as a whole, continue with the thought that end-user basic security ignorance is OK, things will never get better. The sooner all end users are clued-in instead of clueless, the sooner we may have a ray of hope.
A nice example of why reporters should stick to reporting and quit with the constant conjecture and personal opinion. Too much personal opinion, paid opinion and otherwise influenced opinion and conjecture fill what passes for "News" these days. A reporter's only job is to report the facts, but somehow that lesson, learned in journalism 101, does not make it out of academia anymore.
is such a colossally bad idea. Government data living on any system ultimately controlled by a corporation on that corporation's property is so rife for abuse, we are really opening perhaps the biggest Pandora's box of our times. Future Americans will likely rue the day the government gave all control of its data to Corporate America.
Agh just realized I have to please the trolls - my suggestion is merely a pointer to a concept, not the implementation, one would not actually use only the count of twits at any given second.
One thing I've learned in my life, given the chance, many will choose to do the wrong thing. I used to be cynical so many to me used to be most, but I'm pretty sure most will choose to do the right thing, but many won't. However I also know power corrupts, if only for the reason those who seek power generally suffer from narcissism, so for those with power, perhaps the bell curve is skewed more towards most.
>> There are lots of self made "experts" that claims the weirdest thing as hashing the password before sending it to the backend.
Haha, that reminds me of Yahoo mail a few years back.

Seeing that was worth clicking on the link. LOL!
Yep - over. The jury decided long ago. Yay for Linux, well as long as Novell is never purchased by Larry anyway!
super fine lawyering and the jury will return a verdict by Tuesday? Hmmmm... me thinks the case was already decided long ago. For whom? We shall see.

Egad you are correct, how terribly short-sighted and embarrassing for him as a scientist. My point about too much opinion in the press stands.
Right you are, thanks for noticing.
Eier von Satan correctly - except for Augenballgroße which is essentially Eye-ball-large.

Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D.,; the director of the Human Genome Project, and author of "The Language of God," would disagree...

sample the last n number of twits on Twitter at any given second. That is true randomness for sure.
