  1. Re:Don't be obtuse on Ask Slashdot: Advice For a Yahoo Mail Refugee · · Score: 1

    What is as "secure as reasonably possible"? It either is secure, or it isn't. No email service is secure. You might as well use Gmail. Or stick with Yahoo. Or host your own. What is the difference? None of them are secure.

    No, apparently you cant read. The question was "What paid or free secure email service do you recommend as a replacement and why". I answered it. If they had asked "What paid or free email service do you recommend as a replacement and why" I would have answered differently. Use Gmail. It isn't secure but it is free and easy to use.

    It is completely relevant. I don't recommend any paid or free secure email service because there isn't any.

    People are REALLY going to hate this, but there is no 100% secure network service. Computer networks were designed for sharing information between nodes. The idea of keeping others out of that sharing was added on later. On a large interconnected network like the Internet it is impossible to do 100%. I can feel the nerd rage boiling here and the claims that "you don't know what you are talking about!". But save it. Reality tells us otherwise. If it is on a network, it isn't secure.

    Who the fuck would think to try? It never even occurred to me that anyone would be interested in a program to beat Pacman!

    How about something that is actually intelligent? Games don't count. Games have strict rules and boundaries. Computers LOVE those kinds of problems.

    This isn't even fucking "weak AI". It is a program. A program that can beat a game. Computers are good at games. We get it. Find any game and a computer can beat it. Computers love games because they have strict rules and parameters.

    Haven't you heard? Everything is "AI" now. We used to just call them "computer programs", but now they are "deep learning NN".
