If I had stock in Tesla (or any car company) I would rather want to know how many cars they sell, not how many they produce. Selling makes you rich, not producing. Producing only makes you poor.
HTTPS is transport encryption AND source verification. At least if you don't blindly click accept whenever your browser complains about an unknown certificate.
The argument is that Google upranks sites that do use it. I honestly fail to see why it would be a bad idea to uprank sites where the user can at least verify that the bullshit he reads is actually the bullshit the site spews.
Not only that, but wait 'til the mob gets a hold of this. You want to be in our crew? No problem, hand in some hair samples. And should you try to get out, you might escape us, but we'll always find someone to club some knees in.
What kind of information is worth being transported but not worth being tampered with and worth being mentioned on Google? The mere fact of being able to be found on a search engine essentially means that the data is at least to someone important enough to look it up, so it is certainly worth being manipulated.
If I have a data archive, and I want people to share it, I also want people to share an unadulterated version of my data archive. How long do you think wikipedia would be considered a credible source if it suddenly started to spew bullshit, curiously the bullshit some people want to inject into teaching and curiously in the areas where such bullshit is being peddled as reality?
http and all the data it transports can easily be manipulated in transit without you having any chance of even detecting that you receive bogus data. This is why some kind of security layer is important even if you only "push" data and don't collect anything from your recipients on the return channel.
But I'm pretty sure you can explain to us how to inject ads into an encrypted data stream. Better yet, save it and present it at the next Black Hat, I'm pretty sure you get a free ticket and a prime time speaker slot for only mentioning that you might have found a way.
Wait... so... nobody being able to intercept, alter and manipulate data between sender and recipient except sender and recipient (who can easily use ad filters instead of relying on his ISP to filter what the ISP doesn't get paid to let pass, for example) is a BAD thing now?
Quite frankly, there is more dangers to insecure connections than whether your data can be intercepted. How about you being fed false data? You connect to http://www.reputablenewssite.c... only to get fed bogus information from your ISP that gets paid to "adjust" the news by someone.
Can't happen? 5 years ago I would've agreed. Today? I don't anymore.
Seriously, today more than ever, being able to actually verify that what you see is actually what you wanted to see is more important than ever.
And once you solve the two problems this entails, i.e. needing screen real estate beyond the capabilities of a smartphone screen and fitting a usable keyboard in less than 10x5cm, this will actually become a reality.
But until you somehow manage to violate the laws of physics it probably won't.
So, if I got this right, we will finally be able to have a laptop with an unusable keyboard and a way too small screen coupled with the usefulness of Windows on a smartphone?
I don't deride them as casuals. People who can't play for 2 weeks because the always-on servers are overloaded, and then can play the game they paid 70 (plus whatever for the mandatory 0day DLC so you CAN actually play the game) for as long as the game maker decides that it's ok for them to play the game, I deride as idiots.
Use one. It conveys the message. Anything more makes you look like a 5 year old with ADHD. And this is how I'll treat you.
I am dead serious. If I find a work email with multiple exclamation marks or question marks, I have to question the professionalism of the person sending it. Even and especially if it's a customer, and most definitely if it's coming from management.
I'd kinda expect it from marketing by now. Like I said, it's usually the hallmark of 5 year olds with ADHD, and, well, QED.
Slashdot Mirror
cloud is a homonym to the German "klaut", which means "(he) steals".
I doubt it's a coincidence.
Do I get to determine what the plate reads AND is it legal to do so?
If no ... what is it good for?
If I had stock in Tesla (or any car company) I would rather want to know how many cars they sell, not how many they produce. Selling makes you rich, not producing. Producing only makes you poor.
What if they hadn't beat that self-imposed deadline?
Oh. They would not have twittered.
I ... see. Well, nothing to see here, carry on...

Just imagine what they could have done with actually being able to do DNA tests.
Then again, just imagine what they could've done with atomic bombs.
Curiously they are also often the ones that belong there. But then, we don't jail rich people, so they're good.

Just because it doesn't make sense doesn't mean MS ain't gonna do it.
I don't know anyone who doesn't want to give up Windows for the kernel. People who cling to Windows usually do so for the UI.
Curious that no malware tried to use that vector yet.

Umm... the way https works, probably?

Come again when you learned how https works. https verifies and authenticates the sender, not the recipient.

But why the foundation? Get rid of that NT kernel, it's a superfluous element, one more potential point of failure without any benefit.
Nobody said that this is going to make phone calls, or did I miss something?

We already have more than enough for Windows and MacOS, no need to pay for anything there.
