The moment they start to integrate somekind of ads (yes, I heard the rumor/plans) in Firefox they are dead. It doesn't even matter if they don't track, aren't intrusive or whatever. The users will run away.

Who moved to Java? Write once - debug everywhere.

As an attacker I care only about the data and don't give a a shit if it is a real machine or a virtual one. If I can sniff the passwords in your browser or just have a keylogger in one of the VMs I am fine. Not sure if that solves a thing.

edit: I remember there were similar concepts a decade or so ago. where you had your "green" desktop for intranet or whatever and then a seperate "red" desktop which you could switch to and go to the evil internet. hint: no benefit gained

If you want some 100% no issues working, just get something with Intel CPu and GPU. Although the free Radeon drivers are pretty good now too. Avoid some kind of integrated GPU+extra discrete chip combination. Otherwise there isn't really anything special to worry about or to buy a special "built for Linux" machine (which I consider marketing bullshit).

I don't know why media is circle jerking about this. I am not a fan of Putin and I can see that he wanted simply to get rid of Chodorkowski and that he may or may not got a real fair trial. But in the end Chodorkowski is a criminal who tried to illegally sell/exploit property of the Russian state. I am not saying the other oligarchs surrounding Putin didn't do or tried the same, but Chodorkowski isn't a "Putin critic" for political reasons or somekind of activist. He was part of this whole game of corruption and mob crimes and he lost.

The price model of the rail company doesn't make much sense here (germany). I can travel from Berlin to Paris cheaper, than I can from Frankfurt to Munich for example. But then they have special offers for certain regions sometimes, which you can combine with regular tickets for the rest of your route, which makes it cheaper again. Or in combination with a flight ticket. Or traveling in groups with special ticket, or traveling in a certain region with a specific train and so on. It is so complicated and confusing that even the staff at the train station can't always tell you whats the best ticket.

I only see low res shadow maps with an awful filter. Joke aside, I find it always fascinating what detail or references are put in movies which nobody notices.

This is how SSL works if you use Cloudflare. You have to hand them your private key. Also the article doesn't state this, I would guess they mean that everyone on their service should use ssl (maybe they will enable ssl on their free plan or something). I may be wrong, lets see what they will write on their blog.

>give secret ssl key to cloudflare

It reminds me of AMD Athlon64 period. Everyone claimed 64bit to be responsible for everything. In fact the majority of the performance came from the improvements over the k7 architecture (like integrated memory controller, hyper transport, better prediction, improved pipelines, cache etc.), new instruction sets and so on.
