People think this law effects only sections that allow for "personals" and "adult" type categories. Actually, this law is so vague it can be applied to any web site that has a comments section or allows a user to post a message. This means about 99.99% of every web site out there can potentially be shut down. Even this web site, if someone posts an ad about prostitution in the comments section, this web site owners are liable for that content.

This is a good case of why not to use Oracle, use MySQL or Postgres

CNN is still reporting it was the result of a lovers triangle lol

Anyone who has spent even a small amount of time looking into crypto-currencies would know that Bitcoin is the most traceable, least anonymous, highest priced, transaction fees are super high, half the time it takes multiple hours for the transaction to go through, if at all. Anyone who wants real anonymous transactions would think about using Monero, or something like it.

This guy should stick to writing code. His first mistake was writing some anti-women propaganda speech. His second mistake was publishing it. His third mistake was promoting it publicly as if he was representing Google. Come on. People have been fired for much less. He should stick to writing code and shut up. He will probably have a hard time finding a job because of his big mouth.

They just come to your house in the middle of the night and kidnap you and lie to your family why you were held in a secret prison for five years without charges. [1] [2] [3] [4] Welcome to China.

This is the same James Clapper who lied under oath in proceedings in Congress. Not sure he can be trusted to make any comments at this point.

It sounds like they are planning on setting up something similar to Intel Management Engine (ME). This opens the host computer up to a whole range of persistent attacks. This is probably why so many people are working on disabling this from running on Intel boxes [1].

Linus has been going back and forth with grsecurity about the patch set they have put out. All I know is that over the years all the kernel bugs that have allowed for local and remote stack overflows, my systems have not been compromised because of the use of the grsecurity patches. It's a shame that the guy who puts out the grsec patches is trying to charge money for them, but its also a shame that some of these standard features like no-exec-stack patch and trusted-path-execution patches have not been implemented into the mainline kernel tree over two decades.

iPhones use AES encryption for the phone, so naturally they should respond with the FIPS AES document

I started going to cons in the early 1990's and John Draper "Captain Crunch" was always notorious for trying to invite newbie hackers to his hotel room for "meditation" sessions which included massaging and touching and whatever else happened if you allowed it go any further. The guy was always known to be a pervert. Everyone joked about it. He would literally go person-to-person through the crowd and invite whoever he could upstairs for a little one-on-one if you know what i'm sayin. Every con he would show up and do this. The best was at summercon 98 he showed up and did a talk about how everyone owes him thousands of dollars because he is so old school and how he invented the hacker scene. The guy was a fixture at every con. pumpcon, defcon, summercon.
