Have a link or two handy for pieces that have debunked this?

_that_ is definitely an issue with higher education. The qualities schools look for are generally difficult to accurately represent and quantify in standardized ways (e.g., GRE, GPA). I've been d…

It seems as though Drexel is acting somewhat foolishly (at minimum, just putting their foot in their mouth), but it's not clear that this particular incident relates to higher education in genera…

It is (and he notes that at the bottom of the post). Schneier frequently reposts his essays from other sites.

For what it's worth, a similar system is in place at the Madrid Airport.

I agree re:winters, but am not sure about nights. I imagine nighttime storms are not infrequent and so you could get a reasonable number of lightning strikes at night, causing fires. Though, the UVA—s…

> You're arguing there's an interplay between the public and private sector. That's true. But you would be hard-pressed to find an example of a major core tech that developed indepen…

I meant it's not a major factor in assessing damage rates relative to other vehicle models, because the clearance is very similar, model-to-model.

I'm not sure, but I suspect the ground clearance isn't the major factor at play. I believe there are legal limits, such that cars must have at least a certain amount of clearance. So I'…

Part of the complexity with this particular example is that Spitzer was known for going after prostitution. So, in addition to the issue of legality, he was also a hypocrite. Hypocracy doesn't al…

Side comment: I hadn't noticed that one could use j/k to navigate the photos; whoever put the photo page design together was presumably a vi user?

OP probably meant the image was cropped.

Yep. Seems like the software should know that a lonely "#" appended to the url (and similar things) is a duplicate page?

Yes, but one would hope that deportation would require a slightly higher burden of proof than that?

And is vaguely reminiscent of the Geek Code. http://www.geekcode.com/geek.html

From the post: "Homebrew helps you compile different kinds of software on your mac, making it feel almost as easy as apt-get'ing a package on e.g. ubuntu. " (emphasis added) This is so…

I meant using dodgy langugage in future statements. They may not have received a NSL yet, so one doesn't know if their strong language could poentially be tempered by a NSL. I don't think on…

> A NSL can force Apple to not disclose it, but they can't force them to publically lie about it. And lying about that would be ridiculously stupid. I'm not sure they'd be put in a p…

I think it's established that there are backdoors in BBM. E.g., http://www.zdnet.com/in/indias-blackberry-monitoring-system-... …
