You sir, are in denial.

Take a deep breath, go read what you wrote again. You came with no counter arguments, no reasonable statements to prove the parent wrong, you went full bat-shit crazy because of the words "all of them".

A reasonable argumenter would provide counter points, e.g. links to glaciers that are growing (articles, there should be a few); a reasonable person would probably consent to the fact that a lot of glaciers are shrinking - yet you went full cat-crazy lady and worst part is you believe you made a different statement.

God I love how you guys (both sides) goes totally ballistic about some minor detail of a post. No point in trying to deduce what someone said, if there is the smallest amount of unfactual commentary or the slightest error, they will be bombed back to kingdom come.

At what point do you forgive someone?

Are you still holding a grudge against Germany for the WW2? Or the US for slavery? Or what about most clothing companies for abusing child labor in the 80s and 90s? Or their continued abuse of cheap labor in India and China? Sony fucked up once and haven't done that again, a fiasco that probably didn't even affect you, yet you wear clothes, probably eat meat and drive a car - all of which are doing more physical harm in a day than what Sonys rootkit ever did.

Yeah, heres an idea, create a company, get insurance, create bug riddled code, get someone else to turn them in and profit...

This makes about as much sense as having firefighters paid on accord.

Hey sorry for the late reply :-)

If you are a talented programmer, it's fairly easy to get a job - green cards can be a bit of pain since there are requirements to minimum wage, however, in programming, those requirements should be no problem.

Well I'm not good at them fancy maths, but for $40 I can get a mug or $60 I can get them beans...

Now the beans might work for more than one mug, however, generally I only drink one cup of coffee at a time, so to me the mug seems to make more sense.

Get off your fucking high horse and learn to read!

He isn't arrested over some stupid copyright case, the guy is charged with breaking into the Danish Police central servers *and* one of the biggest Danish banks.

The guy is probably looking at some serious time for this.

To be fair, the guy is charged with hacking into the police central servers, he is and should be considered a threat to national security (including terrorism).

Yeah, my 4G subscription is $40 a month, includes 10GB of data, unlimited voice, SMS and MMS and two sim cards (one for the phone, one for the laptop).

(Disclaimer, I live in socialist Denmark)

Sorry, but I don't think you understand how TOR hidden services work (to be fair, Wikipedia is downright useless here) :-)

https://www.torproject.org/docs/hidden-services.html.en - they do a much better introduction than I could ever hope to do ;)

Which is why we use the assignments, we don't care about cover letter or CV, solve one of the assignments and send that, then you are good to go (explicitly mentioned). So far we have received a ton of applicants, who 1. haven't done the assignment, 2. haven't even bothered reading the offer; they are going straight to the bin. (Pro tip, if you can't fulfill something in an job offer, remember to at least write why you can't).

You really should read up on technologies before making statements like that.

The Pedo busts were not attacking exit nodes, it was an attack on the hidden services within the network, there is no mim attack on hidden services, as no one knows who is talking to who. What the FBI did was compromising the servers hosting the material, serving malware that send a single request out outside the TOR network.

Regarding 2; this only works if your software is perfect, which it won't be. The Pedo bust was abusing a known bug in Firefox 17, which had been fixed for quite a long time, it only takes a single bug in the stack to inject some data, that can be collected at some point later - Even if you only allow data through TOR and using SSL, there is nothing preventing FBI sending enough data about your local network, to help identifying you. (For instance, a quick wifi-scan gives you enough information to place my system somewhere in Denmark, using WIFI databases, like the stuff google collected with street view, you can probably pinpoint it even further)

While forcing SSL is a nice idea, generally, it wont work; as you said, people are doing mixed content - on top of that, it only takes a single compromised request to a CDN like jQuery, to have your system thoroughly compromised, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCNZJ_7f0Hk (While they are compromising anonymous proxies, the attack will work just as well on TOR)

We are currently hiring, instead of listing specific requirements our posting includes 3 assignments matching the kind of work the worker would end up doing (3 different languages and domains). Want to work for us, show us your skill, we are tired of receiving hundreds of "I'm the best certified programmer".

So far it's been a nice way of weeding out the crowd.

The problem with Polish workforce is they are getting expensive, the new kids on the block are Romanian, Macedonian, Ukrainian. Although same applies - and on top of them being down right brilliant, they have a work mentality that trumps most westerners.

Half? Not even close. We are currently hiring, we prefer local work force, someone who shows up each day, someone we can talk to. Local salary is in the $80.000 range. However, if we are looking for someone working remotely, they are up against quite qualified eastern block workers, whom clock in at $12.000-15.000.

If I have to deal with remote workers, I'd go for the cheaper option.
