I think it would be much appreciated if this software could be released as open source.

How did the user space redirection handle potentially high spikes of execve's?

And btw, thanks for all the years of debian-administration.org.

Is this essentially gamification of getting (and selling) users private information?

Mental performance information is as private as it gets.

While this post is from years ago, it is very relevant today; Lumosity has been incessantly advertising through NPR and I was actually thinking looking into them.

I had hopes that perhaps this is for pay app and was considering how to handle app privacy. Clearly not going to happen.

It's surreal to realize that I played KoBra 20 years ago. I still log in at times and keep in touch with a friend who I knew then.

I wish MUDs would have done better because interactive text games would provide much needed variety for brains that the currently graphics dominated games.

Tinc's problematic protocol (security wise) killed it for me before. For example, it didn't have pfs.

It seems that with 1.1pre3 or 4 they have gotten a new, experimental protocol. Hopefully it is an improvement.

Could you be more specific how would those archives help?

Btw, thank you for the boundary devices link. The only weakness against Utilite is one Ethernet nic vs two.

Here is this link again: http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=204063&cid=16678583

However one wants to define 'directly from the servers of' or 'direct access' I think for all intents and purposes it means the same thing.

I would like to also include ECDHE ciphers but I'm having a hard time coming up with a line that does not include ECDH. Any ideas?

People from Iran would disagree. Something should also be said about problems of CAs security.

You should show them this snippet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VM7HQ_zbdIw#t=8m00s

But yeah, until they see negative results, I doubt majority is going to start caring.

They are weak on bandwidth side. Other than that, what they offer is great.
