Isn't that way too late to get your foot in the door in a market dominated for years by Microsoft? Its about time some people got fired at Microsoft for their lacks strategy and slow development cycle. It looks like MS has grown too big and the bureaucracy is making releasing a decent product on time a near impossibility.

I have got my hands full on dev projects or I would pick it up, write it and release an opensource exchange written in PHP. That would solve the issue in matter of weeks. Anyone up for the challenge?

The whole issue here is that there is just ONE major exchange and they own 80% of the trades. Hitting one exchange impact the whole currency. The exchange rate has been manipulated for weeks now. Its time for other exchanges to pop up or this will continue. Its easy money so they will keep doing it untill & unless there is multiple exchanges!

Its a great resource to find exploitable machines specific to your exploit version. The paid model does make it a bit less accessible for general public. They also offer a nice API that allows you to to query for IP's directly from within your exploit, allowing you to build scanners for automatic exploitation. Its a powerfull tool but with great power comes great resonsibility

Well reading your quoted article is worrisome as it goes as far as describing a Ddos attack as a nuke. Do I feel another law, restriction coming up?

If the bees are communicating via electrical signals that means it can be intercepted and understood in the long run. So google will be mining the bees conversations and injecting ads into it for netflix and cheap canadian meds. They are doomed!

I'm always surprised to see these heavily embargoed countries make such technological advances be it space/defense/communications/infrastructure. Sometimes I wonder if waiting decades and playing back and forth games using diplomacy is just enabling these countries to become more and more self sufficient & self reliant. Iran got its own planes, a pretty decent navy by the looks of it, decent telecoms infrastructure and believe it or not a growing economy! Look at north korea, it can't feed its people but it can build a 3G network while being under embargo. Diplomacy is a joke.

SMS messages on its own are a scam by mobile providers. In the end it cost them nothing for the transport since SMS messages are embedded in the message that your cellphone sends constantly to the tower saying "im here". Secondly providers are seeing the widespread abuse of premium sms / call numbers using malware and other criminal/shady operations where the user is tricked into subscribing or forcibly subscribed to a premium service. They are just trying to cash in on a multi-million dollar industry. Not to forget the massive decline of sms income which used to be nearly pure profit to applications like whatsapp, facebook and others.

What he did could have endangered many people. He should be tried for attempted murder!

I use encryption across all my desktops and laptops. On my laptops I just use dmcrypt/cryptsetup and encrypt the whole disk running ubuntu. For storage I use my fileserver which is 1x500gb encrypted with dmcrypt for the OS and for the "storage" of the fileserver I have redundancy against failure: LVM with 2x 1TB sata disks. The LVM has both physical volumes as seperate "mirror" slices (encrypt 1 disk, add a mirror disk). The total usable storage is around 790 GB but I already had one disk fail and I could simply "mount" my data without one disk being present & rebuild the LVM mirror using a new disk! Secure & reliable! The only issue I have not been able to solve in this setup is if/when one disk fails, your data is only available read-only because the lvm-mirror is only "partial" and physical volumes are missing. If anybody knows a solution for that, please comment. This was just a temporary issue though, as soon as a new disk was added and the mirror rebuilt, all was back to normal.
