The plane was 10km up. It wasn't shot down by something bought for $50,000 from Bob's Quality Used Implements of Death and Destruction and delivered to you by a courier van. The suspected weapon system requires at minimum one tank sized tracked launcher vehicle, and for full capability it requires three such vehicles. This is way out of Bob the arms dealer's league. Although I'm pretty much guessing here, the missile alone I expect would cost over a million dollars to manufacture.
What kind of non-story is that? One link points to some guy writing about how some other guys went to study waves at different locations. It doesn't say anything about how they did it, or has any technical information. The other link is a PDF scanned from a paper from 1982.
Slow day when you have 32 year old news?
Is it messed up to add sensitive information to an entropy pool? From choice of wording it seems everyone should immediately and without reservation know better this is a stupid thing to do.
Question is this actually a valid position or more knee jerk based on unfounded fear, ignorance of operation of an entropy pool?
When functioning properly you shouldn't be able to extract anything except entropy from pool.
Emphasis mine. Putting it in the pool is yet another attack vector, and a great way to increase the chance of something going wrong down the line. Either by mistake or by a planned malicious code change in parts of the code that doesn't seem to have anything to do with the private key.
Actually, they are called movies. And I bet that on average, people watch a lot more movies than they read books.
(This is however not a statement of quality, and I guess there are hundreds of nerds who thinks that anectodes equals data which will reply to this and proudly proclaim that they read more books than they watch movies.)
Trial and error is usually required to see if a box responds to a message in the way you want; I can write correct C without having to run the code, I would never try that in Reaktor.
Now that's a brave statement!
I'm always suspicious when that actually happens. Which bugs have I missed?
And it is one of the most difficult, if not the most difficult language for children to learn, taking them up to twice the time to learn their own language compared to children in languages using an alphabet.
You only need to do that here (Sweden) if you want to deposit large enough sums, I don't know exactly how much should be a couple of thousands of your so-called quids.
I expect this to gradually change within the next 10 years or so, though. I mean, handling cash in this day is suspicious enough when you might as well use a debit or credit card of some sorts, or pay with your phone bill.
Actually, a better "analogy" is that they work hard on making sure that cash can't be used anonymously. Each transaction must be monitored (serial numbers on every bill, cameras in every ATM and store), and controlled (demanding proof of ownership for depositing cash at a bank, removing the possibility to actually use cash for buying travel documents).
Much like they are working hard on trying to make sure Tor can't be used anonymously.
The Swedish police is right now trying to sell 28 poodles which were seized. That isn't an implicit endorsement to poodles as a valid currency in Sweden.
He did claim early on that he did this because he didn't want any personal information about any NSA agents getting out, and I bet the papers are full of them.
It is, however, a pretty lame excuse IMHO. But I'm not the one with a government agency after me.
Interesting. If I worked for NSA, I would try to. It would give some more information. Though on the other hand, they may just as well run their own nodes to get that information (oh yes, they do this already), and hacking 'normal' people just for the lulz always increases the chance of information about your operations getting out.
In short: It would be stupid to hack you just because you're running a node, unless you're their target in some other way.
I think it's because Snowden didn't release it all, like Manning, but just released a small part of it, and only to a newspaper. He claimed to have his reasons for this, not that I agree with them. Something about how the Manning files identified some people, and that Snowden didn't want that to happen.
Of course they are watching exit nodes. Everybody should assume they do (also the person running the node will watch, and that person's ISP).
However, I have never heard anyone claiming they can tie the traffic back by watching the traffic, other by the well know timing attacks that they *do* talk about in the article. Basically, they see some traffic exit the node at the same time as they see similar traffic at some completely unrelated place in the network, building up statistics which can identify a suspect over time. This is why they say they have limited success.

What an incredible non-story that was.

Everyone talking about how today's internet is broken sounds like they have an agenda.I'd be very suspicious of anyone wanting to change it.

This is not a problem, because of the way bitcoins can be divided.
I'm just judging the book by its cover. It looks like it's design to lure people with flashy but cheap looking animations.
Anyway, changing your browser string won't make you less trackable. They don't use those for tracking individual users.
Uhm, heh...
No. Sorry.
From the look of that website, you probably have some nice tracking installed now though.

What do you mean by this? If you operate a node, your computer is simply a passive router of traffic. I'm not sure what you mean by "safety" here.
Tell me more about how Valve developed this new "Linux" operating system.
Ironic that the Swiss are doing this, one of the few landlocked countries in the world.
Maybe they already sound very similar to the sounds whales make, and maybe that's why the whales get disoriented and stranded.
