Last year, obfsproxy was absolutely still effective in China. There are several comments here that "Tor doesn't work". Yes, vanilla Tor hasn't worked for years now. While it's true China has managed to block obfsproxy…
20%? Are we even looking at the same charts? After closing 5 tabs 270mb -> 480mb! Those numbers don't lie and your guarantee is worthless to those of us that have seen Firefox's memory bloat over the past year. When…
Actually the addictive factor reminds me of a Joust on rails. Take away the left/right controls, and idea is similar to the 1982 arcade game. If you've never played it before, check it out on MAME.
No, VLC should remember the last audio level, just not when it's over 100%. If I leave it at 50%. On next restart it should be 50%. If I'm watching a movie and finish on 200%, on next restart it should be 100%. Clipping…
In contrast to “Attack the evil that is within yourself, rather than attacking the evil that is in others.” ― Confucius It boils down to taking responsibility for your own actions. She took the effort to change her…
On my 2-3yr old laptop w/ a 8600GT, I agree that for 2D only X11 apps, Nouveau drivers seem to have less issues with tearing and drawing than the proprietary drivers. But once you want to need power management to run on…
>In the case of games, nearly every single game company refuses to provide their games as free (libre) game software. Rockstar spent $266 million to develop Grand Theft Auto V. How do you expect them to recoup this cost…
I think it’s marvelous when our society takes care of our existing mentally and physically ill. But encouraging those with major genetic problems to reproduce is asinine. A close friend of mine is very religious, over…
Novice developers should not be writing drivers in any language. If you don't have a C background, you're not going to be able to contribute much code to any OS. Besides config files and scripts, NetBSD is nearly 100%…
I can’t believe you seriously consider PulseAudio to be a technological improvement. Having used PA for years, I have encountered and reported numerous bugs and performance issues. After trying to debug some PA issues,…
I've been gaming in Linux with both native and Wine/CrossOver games(free year thanks to Bush) for over 8 years now. Drivers are the biggest issue. There are 2 main issues here. First is quality. The video card…
Your demo was also choppy for me on 2.2 Core 2, 460m, Chrome 29, Win7. After your experience with both native and WebGL game development, don't you think it's a little premature to make a hardcore game targeting only…
Your 9 yo installed fake antivirus + search engine hijacker. First of all, what the hell are you doing letting a 9 yo browse on a machine with root privileges? Secondly, that has nothing to do with this story. As the…
Good for Lightning UK! Growing up he was one of my heroes with DVD Decrypter. I hope he can make a few bucks on advertising with its spiritual successor. This article is sensationalist BS. After a little research it's…
I've traveled all over the world, from South America, India, to China. In all those places, the locals stare and take photos. They stare at me, also a redhead; they stare at my girlfriend, who is from LA and dresses…
Funny a cryptographer was just explaining why you should never question your field's fundamental assumptions. http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/164050-discovery-may-make...
When I was living in China, I used Tor daily to circumvent the great firewall. Back when the Tor bundle was using Firefox < 15, it has some bad memory leaks, but Mozilla has done a great job of fixing those. Chrome has…
Maybe I'm missing your sarcasm, you place no value in your digital privacy, or you're just completely computer illiterate. If you're capable of installing any app on your computer, you can run the tor browser. There is…
Remember that we’re wired to respond to personal news. That’s the secret to Facebook’s and tabloid magazine’s success. So as happy as I am about this, let it also be a reminder that Snowden's not the story. The fate of…
If I could change one thing about human history, I'd remake the 0 and O's (# and letter) and the I, l, and 1 (letter i, letter L, and #) so you could never confuse them in hard to read CAPATCHs.
Most people seem to focus on the visual programming model which is just one aspect of NoFlo. I think its real power comes from the Flow Based Programming model. Functional programming is the trendy solution to the…
Yes, the cool thing about LV is allows you to turn an idea on a flow chart into code that resembles the original chart on the high level. And, nothing beats it for data acquisition and testing. Like all visual languages…
Agreed, CSS/DOM/JS need to be replaced, before the web can truly be an application platform.
For my company, this is exactly what's happening. Like Facebook, we found HTML5 to be insufficient for our app, so our resources have shifted to iOS and Android development. Native gives much better and consistent…
For you I2P users, What are you using for P2P software, I2PSnark, iMule, or I2Phex? I tried it a few years ago, but didn't have much success in finding anything. Any tips for setting up, searching, performance tweaks?
