Why doesn't the article include updated graphs with the bug fixed?

I use mine as Minecraft consoles for my kids. The next step is to teach them Python and the API and let them modify their games.

You are assuming a representative distribution of users of whichever service they select. That may not be true.

No. GPG doesn't use the public key to do the actual encryption, it generates an intermediate key, uses that to encrypt the message and encrypts that intermediate key with your public key.

factoid - fastmail.fm uses SMTP-TLS

No. Cookies only get sent to the originating domain. What happened here is *.linkedin.com points to the rogue server so your cookies get passed to them instead of the real Linkedin.

This isn't any better than using Google's DNS, your ISP's or OpenDNS directly. All your requests eventually go through a central location where they can be logged. Better to install your own caching dns server so they at least can't do traffic analysis on your repeat requests.

This is wrong. The vast majority don't want their OS (whether it is phone, desktop, laptop, etc.) to suddenly change. They want stability. They have invested the time and effort to learn the UI and integrate it into their lives, change disrupts this and wastes their time.

If you force them into learning a new way to do things you have just reduced the friction of them switching to some other platform. And that's how you lose customers.

How about we double this?

We have kickstarter campaigns that bring in more than this. I regularly contribute to the EFF and my employer matches that donation (yay Red Hat) so I'm going to double my normal donation this year.

I don't see anything interesting here. You resell Comodo SSL certs. You made a website to sell them. Nothing unique about that.

It isn't the keyboard that is the problem, it is that the USB bus the keyboard is on won't be initialized.

Linux for my desktop (where all the apps I use live inside a tmux session) and OSX for my laptop.

Note that it is not legal to transfer a receiver built like this to anyone else. You cannot sell or give it away, it is yours forever. You are still subject to your local laws, and cannot built a fully automatic weapon.

You can also do this with AR-15 receivers, there used to be a couple of places that would sell you an 80% aluminum casting and you would finish the machining yourself.

If you don't want to go to the trouble you can always buy a stripped lower receiver from a dealer (this is the part that carries the serial # and is considered the gun by the BATFE) and assemble the rest yourself. I wrote an article on this back in 2000 - http://www.brianlane.com/build-an-ar-15-rifle.html

Do they really not have a 64bit version?

I don't see what's interesting here. It looks like a pretty flat line.

IIRC the scrambler I wrote for a marine radio application had 5 bands (which means each is about 600Hz wide for a 3kHz channel). The codes the user input would select where each of the 5 bands were mapped to. I think we had 16 combinations and that was pushing it -- it is pretty amazing what you can do to voice and still have it be understandable.

Video player says "No video with supported format and MIME type found." Using FF 20.0 on OSX.

Come back when you have something to show us. Invite only w/o a way to request one? Use email cc to send money? Seems pretty damn dangerous to me so you need to explain things in a lot more detail.

I'm more interested in what this will do for mobile app development than the actual phone itself. Having a phone that anyone with a text editor can write software for is going to be huge.

I briefly played with a FirefoxOS Phone at Linuxfest Northwest and it was more responsive than my old Motorola X2. I ran a few of the pre-installed apps and took a picture with the camera and it worked as expected.

Except that this isn't, which is what makes it interesting.

In addition to being cheap it is reliable. I haven't had any downtime on my sites since switching them over to s3.

On the flip-side, I bought those same ones and haven't had them last a year. Same for the CF from Costco. I'm looking forward to long lasting LEDs. $13 is still a bit too high to replace all my lights, but I'll pick up a couple for the most used ones.

Well, from what I see on your site security and trust is an issue. You are asking people to direct their DNS to your servers, that is a lot of responsibility to take on. Who are you? How do I trust you? How do I know that someone can't corrupt my zone entries in your system, either on purpose or on accident. eg. lets say I setup a git repo with zone entries for another customer you serve, how do you decide which one is authoritative?

I would only consider this useful if you posted your code on github so that people can run it on their own DNS servers.

I don't see anything here I couldn't do myself, and in a more secure way. I don't trust handling of my DNS to random projects.

No.
