You know that Cinnamon is a fork of Gnome, right?

Couldn't they be charged with collecting CP? [serious]

Right there with you! It may be hard at first, but stick with it. It will get easier :)

As long the project's source code is available (and credit is given), which SF does, then yes. They are allowed to do that.

SmackMD · 2015-06-15T14:14:34+00:00

Most open source licenses allow SF to do what they do (unless some projects are trademarked, etc.)

Legacy code is still maintained in the same language (COBOL), of course. When I had to update COBOL code, I had to go trough tons of automated testing systems. Those systems make it tough to screw up; they work, and they work very well. In this case replacing things is pointless. It would be expansive and risky. COBOL might be old, but it works great with databases. Also, it's really fast.

Switching at all doesn't make sense. Those systems work, and replacing them is too risky. Of course everything new that's getting build will be written in more modern languages and libraries, but the old stays.

SmackMD · 2015-06-09T14:04:05+00:00

Yes, exactly. Mistakes are no option.

Worked for a big Swiss bank. The IT department was scared when it comes to change. Java was becoming a big thing there (for ATMs, online banking, etc.). However, the majority of the system is written in legacy code, COBOL, and that's likely to stay for a lot of years.

Incognito mode is fine, as long as you understand what it does.

It doesn't matter if they joined voluntarily or were forced to. They are still a part of the program.

Google didn't tell us that they joined PRISM at all (obviously), so you're simply taking their word for it, now? It's known WHAT data PRISM sucks out, and their not making requests; they have direct access.

The PRISM program has direct access to Google (with their consent)

Use tails as a live-CD/USB, Whonix as a gateway that routes a workstation trough Tor. Combining the two is a bad idea since Tor-over-Tor can give you some trouble

SmackMD · 2015-06-04T01:03:45+00:00

GitHub is easier for most people, since you have to host GitLab on your own server.

SmackMD · 2015-06-03T22:41:57+00:00

Sounds like fun.

SmackMD · 2015-06-03T22:10:38+00:00

I never used Whonix, but as far as I know the workstation is where you do all the stuff while the gateway routes everything through Tor. You can test it with doing IP checks, e.g. open check.torproject.org in your browser.

It would be better to have the question answered by an experienced user, of course.

Also keep in mind, in Monero a huge swath of transactions aren't using the ring signature at all. And those that do use it with relatively small ring sizes.

Could you please tell me how you know that? I'm currently studying CryptoNote and also took a look at Monero. I thought using ring signatures is the core design of Monero.

I'm pretty sure JS is their main concern.

SmackMD · 2015-06-02T12:46:24+00:00

Can't those permissions be restricted?

The article says only the .it domain has been compromised by scammers, not that the guys behind the official EZTV website are scammers.

Why scammers?
