Freenode is a good place.. the /list command will show you channels once you connect. Popular ones are #hardware, #linux, #windows, #python, #debian, #bash, ##networking, etc. There is a channel for most major technologies.

All sorts of places intercept HTTPS if they deem it reasonable. There are a wide variety of security products out there for such things.

A lot of people who post here don't seem to realize that a lot of companies still have IT departments.. a lot of people here are also developers who don't realize they can easily do things to compromise data, even if they think they know better.

80k/yr CAN be rich, it all depends on location. 80k/yr would be poverty in the valley, most of that money going to just having shelter.

Are you sure? Because the first thing I Googled seems to say otherwise

They do it through various methods.. original common ones were random events, sleeping bags, slight screen rotations every so often, changing the ways you could interface programmatically with the game, changing colors slightly, etc.

Just curious - what is your country doing to study the issue and come up with solutions? Forest fires are necessary in nature, and at least this is a controlled one with the intent of being studied.

There is a movie that loosely related to this, The Terminal, starring Tom Hanks. I'd say it was a pretty good movie, I liked it.

The man this article is about also wrote a book, but I can't thing of the title off the top of my head.

The vast majority of data sent over these cables will be encrypted. It's all normal day-to-day traffic.

Where I live we have 2 WISPs - the 5GHz band already looks like the 2.4 band. This would potentially just wreck internet service for thousands of people.

I hang out on /r/dailyprogrammer sometimes - they had a challenge about these types of programs the other day and called them "quines." Check through some of these if you're interested, a few are 2 characters long (not sure how many bytes that is): http://www.reddit.com/r/dailyprogrammer/comments/2n11w8/2014...

Agreed - the only thing I have had issues with in the dark is my screen will not go dark enough when I'm in a pitch black room. I use programs like dimscreen, but they often take a lot away from the image when the laptop screen is at its lowest darkness

Not true - 21 here, was only born in 1993. I'm aware of the disputes that have happened over time, especially arguments with Netscape / Jobs / etc. Microsoft has a pretty interesting and rich history, and I was extremely surprised about the recent open source announcements. I read somewhere they actually have an open source branch, it's just not widely talked about, mainly because Windows overshadows it.

Also, on top of that, an open network with no encryption? It seems like that would be a great place to do some MITM attacks, as well as a variety of other things

The spectrum is going to be so crowded by the time this is in full force.. Then what would they do?
