You do remember that "war on terrorism" is not enough, we need "war on everything" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7G0w0JBpcMA
As I foreigner - don't worry, I have my pop corn ready. It will be the Biggest Most Amazing Party ever.
Although I will lose everything I own due to it, it is still going to be fun to watch how in the USA they still just blame R v.s. D while everything spirals down the drain.
Your attitude is exactly what is wrong with security. Quite a few still use MD5 because "it is not that broken". Linus really should take a look in this new provably better method and adapt it ASAP and not wait until it bites hard.
There are layoffs in the "remains of the Renesas" too, just now.
Broadcom had bought some other company whose name I cannot remember to do the LTE but found out that by buying Renesas Mobile they can get LTE faster. For example Renesas Mobile could demonstrate 300Mbit data link. Perhaps first in the world?
The layoffs mentioned in the article seems to be in the "old" LTE team.
Renesas is. But Renesas Mobile, which they really bought, is in a way a Finnish company as most workers are Finns. Renesas bought Wirelesss Modem division from Nokia back 2009.
"Some of the trusted" is not enough. If they want to look like Google they need Googles cert (their private key). Though very possible I do not, yet, think they have it.
If increased CO2 decrease H2O (i.e. clouds) then the increase will not lead to global warming.
I am not claiming this is the case.
NSA cannot do this in wide scale as the new CERT is far too easy to detect. They might do it for one particular "suspect", e.g. I would not notice it. But there are even Firefox extensions to detect these so if deployed wide scale it would have been noticed.
I do not believe all VPN and all SSL are broken. It would be pretty much impossible to break all VPN, after all they use vide variety of encryption systems.
What I believe is that many commercial, perhaps most if not all US made, VPN & SSL implementations are flawed.
Well, Lavabit closed down because request to them was "too much". Google did not and will not.
So what is "too much"? I have an opinion on that and therefore I do not believe Google. On neither account ("has access" and "is working").
If Google were working on it, they would make a Javascript (i.e. client) encryption to their cloud (and email, etc). It would be quite easy to do.
Then who does all the un-fun stuff like testing and documenting. Exactly.
I have solved this another way around - I go to work early. And, of course, leave early. Obvioulsy leaving early might be difficult in some places.
ZFS is tested and has beed used in huge amount of different environments with very posive feedback for well over a decade. I do not know any catastrophic failures (though there must be).
BTRFS requires latest version of Linux kernel and itself to work. I have no clue about testing (removing disks on the fly, etc.) and definitely it is not widely deployed, not yet proven to work (few anecdotes do not count).
BTRFS seems to be only slightly more robust than it was five years ago - during this time I have lost two hard disks from my ZFS, quadrupled disk space easily, used NFS4 (and CIFS-ro), etc. All with zero data loss.
Oracle, at least previously, was the biggest contributor to BTRFS. I would't trust them to invest on two filesystems in the long run. I would't trust them to invest on OpenZFS either, but is more mature in the foreseeable future.
AFAIK the design of both is very solid (btrfs is better in this sense) and I hope btrfs is someday better than zfs IN REAL LIFE. But that will take at least five years (for me to believe it). If that would happen, I might migrate. But because ZFS does everything I need (raidz/2/3, nfs4, cifs, acl, lz4 compression, dedup, ease of use,
