Interview Technique #1 - Don't let the interviewee sit in a swivel chair. It is both distracting and nauseating to the viewer.
Weak encryption is effectively the same as no encryption
I disagree. Weak encryption is significantly worse because it is misleading. At least with no encryption you know that your information is unprotected. With weak encryption you run the risk of being misled into believing that your information its protected when, in fact, it is trivially accessible.
Along with that they need to Unionize, like current trades. Employers are going to continue to treat you like shit because they can. Shame companies that don't hire "Local Programmers 423" to make the next AAA game.
Yeah but crossing a picket line of programmers doesn't have that same feel of concern as a picket line of teamsters or pipe fitters.
It is quite common in the US as the carriers also control the phones and can install their own certificates.
One of the benefits to running a rooted phone is that you can lock down the list of accepted root certificates and prevent the carriers from updating that list.
The owner is objecting to the user redistributing the file which is apparently subject to a license. In this instance GitHub (in USA) needs to apply their own laws in making the determination of fair use or exemption but I think the DMCA notice will stand - unless I'm misinformed there is no exclusion to DMCA for academic purposes as there is in India's safe harbour provisions.
I think the authors of each and every web page viewed by Airtel customers that have been modified by Airtel should sue Airtel for copyright infringement. Airtel is producing a derivative work of the original web page sent by the web server without a license to do so from the web page author. This is a willful violation of the web page author's copyright and is done so for monetary gain. The copyright holders should seek punitive as well as compensatory damages.
SourceForge, the code repository site owned by Slashdot Media, has apparently seized control of the account hosting GIMP for Windows on the service, according to e-mails and discussions amongst members of the GIMP community—locking out GIMP's lead Windows developer. And now anyone downloading the Windows version of the open source image editing tool from SourceForge gets the software wrapped in an installer replete with advertisements.
In cases where a project is no longer actively being maintained, SourceForge has in some cases established a mirror of releases that are hosted elsewhere. This was done for GIMP-Win.
Editor's note: Gimp is actively being maintained and the definition of "mirror" is quite misleading here as a modified binary is no longer a verbatim copy. Download statistics for Gimp on Windows show SourceForge as offering over 1,000 downloads per day of the Gimp software. In an official response to this incident, the official Gimp project team reminds users to use official download methods. Slashdotters may remember the last time news like this surfaced (2013) when the Gimp team decided to move downloads from SourceForge to their own FTP service.
Therefore, we remind you again that GIMP only provides builds for Windows via its official Downloads page.
Note: SourceForge and Slashdot share a corporate parent.
Funny to watch the Slashdot ignorant get offended at my comment.. or defensive of their language for that matter. The history of C vs. C++ threads on this site can only be rivaled by MS vs. UNIX, and KDE vs. Gnome threads. It has been a while since I have seen this one...
Let's not forget the vi vs. emacs ones...
I'm a pedestrian, I have right of way.

So if the perpetrators are still walking free that means ????
That it's business as usual for the LEO.
I agree, except you've over-rated HyperTerminal.
And disrespected the donkey.
Suggest you just sit there and wait till life gets easier.
