  1. Re:AppleScript on Automatic Functional Testing for Mac and Linux? · · Score: 1, Informative

    "underrated"? Applescript is cumbersome, painful, and WAY too unreliable to be used for verification testing. I've had serious trouble just getting applescript to run and then close certain stock applications. It's a broken mess, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, especially not for testing.

  2. Try istop on Will Cable Unplug the File Swappers? · · Score: 1

    istop.com

    They provide ADSL for Toronto/Montreal/Ottawa. You can get 3.5M/800K, a 20G cap, and a static IP for scarecely more than a Rogers hookup.

  3. Re:The problem isn't PGP, it's the e-mail software on Elegant Email Encryption for Everyone? · · Score: 1

    Almost every pop3 client I'd care to use has pretty much seamless support for digital certificates and S/MIME encoding of email.

    The problem isn't the encryption, the problem isn't the software, the problem is telling people why they should acquire certificates and protect their privacy!

  4. Privacy is only 50U$D /year on "Online Privacy Alliance" Claims Privacy Too Expensive · · Score: 1

    By far one of the most interesting services I've seen in the privacy industry of late has to be zeroknowledge systems (http://www.freedom.net).

    They have a distributed-trust network of anonimizing routers. All your traffic is layered in a multi-level encrypted route ball and is spit onto the internet once it has been decrypted by each hop on the way.

    The windows version comes with a decent personal firewall, and the linux version is a kernel module and a GTK based client program. It intercepts all network communications at the socket layer and disallows any traffic generated by the user running the client that isn't to/from the freeom network. Very cool.
