The software is dead. The board has resigned. The primary developer says the software in use now was never meant to be secure. It was an early testing version, and should never have been distributed.

Haystack was designed to circumvent government censorship in Iran. If it doesn't work, it can get people killed.

Yes, I'm sure the Streisand effect will resurrect the central server and allow the software to be used again.

So the way you choose to deal with a "barbaric religion" is to become just like them?

Right, Christians have never, ever committed terrorism.

Has the last few years really made people this fucking stupid?

The IRA and Abortion Clinic bombers would like a word with you.

Slashdot moderation violates our founding ideals. You shouldn't use slashdot.

This actually gives details.

NTP servers require an accurate clock source, they don't generate time out of thin air. This is either directly from an atomic clock (which requires corrections for all these problems you've mentioned), or from GPS time (There are lots of GPS based NTP servers out there, your imaginary problems were solved ages ago.).

Someone had better tell the makers of GPS-based time servers that their products are useless!

For your next trick, name a clock source that doesn't have this problem. GPS even provides the proper correction, I'm pretty sure the vibrations of cesium atoms don't.

several times, including with windows. This isn't news, and doesn't belong on slashdot.

You're going to wonder how you said that, I suspect, but think for a bit.

You just said a 4 digit number has only 256 possible values. Now count from 0 to 9999...

Websites done in flash are useless. I have never seen an exception. I can't bookmark anything. I can't link to a specific page. I can't copy any text. I can't search. Navigation buttons don't work.

All so some idiot can have spiffy transition effects between pages.

Even the console version crashes all the time. I rented it rather than buying it, and I'm glad I did.

IF they make any black holes

AND they don't evaporate

It will be quite clear in the results, and they will most certainly stop making them. You've still got to go down a huge chain of wrong things to get there.
