I think the bigger concern (which has been backed up by recent research) is that there are vulnerabilities in the hardware that might be exploited to install malicious software. If that software lives in a BIOS or a hard disk firmware wiping your hard disk will not protect you.
Diet is not the only reason for being overweight. Genetics play a huge role, but can be overcome in most cases. But concluding that everyone is overweight for the same reason you were is nonsense. There are plenty of mysteries yet to be solved on the matter. Having a good diet is very important of course.
And it appears that there is no way to select all entries matching a search for deletion in Chrome's history. Deleting all browser history from the last hour solves it though! Thanks for the warning...
Man I love these guys. They strive for accurate emulation first and foremost, but they still care about giving the emulator the power to enhance games in such amazing ways. They really have their priorities straight.
I really hope it can be undone, but it might be too late. When the general public doesn't understand what end-to-end encryption is or how important it is in their daily lives, who is really in the position to stop them? It's not the public's fault either. They never learn about this in the course of their regular studies, even in college. The EFF is working hard to educate people, but as the NSA has shown once you fall into the hole climbing out is much harder.
This sure seems like a problem for servers that are hosted in a Colocation facility where all of the hardware belongs to datacenter customers. You could easily outfit your server with equipment to pick up signals from nearby servers. Makes me wonder if any spy agencies have used this technique.
Always really important not to jump to conclusions on these things, but I can't help but be curious to know what time zone these time stamps are in. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any way to find out. The http headers for that page also simply report the current time.
Though I understand Sony probably feels compelled to at least try to stifle links to the stolen data, I am a little bothered by their legal reasoning they are using to support their argument. That said, they seem to be wording their accusations towards Twitter very cautiously. It also does not seem to be worded as a threat, but more of a strongly-worded request, so I'm not sure saying that they're threatening to sue them is accurate.
I think that open-source projects need to take these questions of usability more seriously. There seems to be an unspoken but pervasive attitude that features should not be added for convenience or to guide inexperienced users when they make a mistake. To go on a tangent, I think this is why Linux desktop environments still lag behind in usability; Windows and Mac chose their fate a long time ago.
I think Cockcroft is a small hero in this story. He expended significant political capital to push through a very unpopular idea because he could see the importance at a time when absolute safety was not the first concern. Brave.
