  1. Could .MHT files be consider dangerous like .exe, .bat and other various? Is that really used anyway?

  2. Agree, I had the impression if I had IE installed I could be at risk but I have to open the freaking files. Nothing to see. I could say the same thing if you open a .exe! As far as I know, I never open attachment if I don't know the sender and expect the file.

  3. Re:makes no fucking sense on Google Chrome Wants To Block Some HTTP File Downloads (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    The idea is not to prevent to download them but to prevent the ISP, rooter, internet cafe or guy next door to change the content of that .exe during the download.

  4. http make little sense today on Google Chrome Wants To Block Some HTTP File Downloads (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Considering how many are downloading from wifi or untrusted router, it doesn't make sense to use http because you can get you file change during the download. HTTPS wont slow you down and will offer basic security against the hacker next door. For web hosting, https://letsencrypt.org/ offer free SSL certificates.

  5. Yeah, it's a priority, you know how much live that will safe/improve!!! Think about the children!

  6. Total waste of taxpayer money on US Reveals Details of $500 Million Supercomputer (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    The department of energy has so many computer I would be shocked to know if any of those are working 24/7. I can't believe they really need yet another super computer to perform stupid task. This is not about science, it's about give money to friend and pride to hold the fastest computer.

  7. Re:Climate change on California Declared Totally Drought Free For First Time in Seven Years · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    They started with "global warming", then we got a very cold season here so they change the tone to "climate change". I guess, climate changing is bad?

  8. I don't think the military/intelligence agencies are ahead tech wise. In fact, I think they are way behind because of the complex structure and slow moving. When they want something, they don't use state of the art technique but rather simple letter request for it... or you go in jail. Gov don't break security by breaking the protocol, just just ask for a backdoor at the company. Much much easier and put the job on someone else.

  9. Re:Flat Earther IQs average on YouTube To Blame For Rise in Flat Earth Believers, Says Study (cnet.com) · · Score: 0

    I think the earth is flat but I don't *think* they send human to the moon. Everything is just wrong. Have you imagine the complexity of flying back out of the moon where you not only need to bring the fuel to fly but also the oxygen as there is no atmosphere there. The landing would have been a crash just like when we send rover to mars... it's not a soft vertical landing ready to fly back! I'm not 100% convince of that but it's pretty weird that decades later with all the tech we have, they are not able to anything remotely close to do it again. It was a political promise and they realized it in the last year. Missing selfy with earth or sun or stars in the background, Why we can see the hover there with our telescope? The more I read about the more question get raised with little to back the claim. The flaw earth on the sense is more like: I don't trust any of the fact given that I can't proved myself. Obviously unlike you want to cross the Antarctica by foot yourself you can't really do it. At least Colin O'Brady did it before us. https://www.nationalgeographic...

  11. It blow my mind that when I come to a new Windows server. The default setting is that you don't see the IP address of someone trying to make connection and there is nothing to block or prevent someone trying one millions login in a row. Even basic ftp and email software have that.

    The concept of a HOT wallet is like cash you carry around, it's supposed to a small amount... more possible to get hacked as it's connected to the internet and allowed automated withdrawal. But the system is supposed to keep most money offline via COLD wallet that need human interaction to refill the HOT wallet. 60M is way to much for a HOT wallet.
