OpenSSH is not buggy and has good security already. You must be thinking of the OpenSSL.

I2P cant be used to access google and the general internet. Tor can be. So you should be using Tor, just keep in mind that anything unencrypted can and will usually contain malicious content. Even if not by the spooks, people change stuff for lolz, and monitor stuff for research and lolz. It doesnt mean tor is not good. It is just something you have deal with.

1) The payphones here dont have SMS
2) Fair enough.
3) I am talking about someone close enough that it is an implied contract. Your children or your significant other or your parents or someone you care deeply about.

Voicemail is not the same as picking up a call. It does not have it covered, atleast for me.

1) A close family member's cell phone battery dies, they try to call you from a pay phone or a friend's (or stranger's) cell phone.
2) A friend (old friend if you wish) has changed their number, and wants to reach you.
3) Someone who has you as their Emergency contact number had a mishap, and the emergency service wants to reach you..

Yup, getting the GeoIP 100% right is the corner stone of any good VPN software provider. /s

Note that it is not a japanese software without much thought into UX and it doesnt look polished (in western standards atleast). You cant get a better throughput using any other VPN tech though. The research (publications) and their throughput are their main motivators, the software/UX do take a bit of backseat.

Just use VPNGate. It designed specifically for Great Firewall of China, it is extremely easy to use, and works every time. No one needs an hour for this.

Abnormal people realize it too. It just goes to show how governments are neither normal people or abnormal people. Whose line is it, again?

I am not convinced they only intended to terrorize journalists. If they did, it would indeed be journalism-targeted terrorism.

It is terrorism. It is intended to cause terror. The people of france are not terrified and it was not successful in terrorizing people, but it doesnt mean it is not a terrorist attack, it is just an unsuccessful one.

Cue the sarcastic this has nothing to do with Islam bullshit. Wait, you started before your cue.

You dont. They dont want you to print first class postage online. It is not very cost effective, and it is not like they have competition for first class. Calling something they used to do, and they dont want to do now, a bug is beyond crazy.

OP is obviously not asking for ideas you plan on implementing yourself. For certain things, you may have always wanted an app, but couldnt be bothered enough to write objective c or an android app for it, those are the ones the OP is asking for. If you are an app developer, you obviously shouldnt post apps you are planning to implement. Some people would rather take their ideas to their grave, than see someone else implement it, those people need not give their ideas either.

They pretty much beat humans everytime. You may not get statistically significant results among the top chess engines.

I dont know, my roommates are on Ting mobile (run by Tucows), and they find it pretty good. I wouldnt be surprised if their fiber ISP falls is run under their Ting subsidiary too.
