Citizens of the PRC will soon be required to wear tonsure in the US so they can be identified by the public. At least, that's how seriously the chinks are taking this. They're in a panic, this must be a bigger blow to Xi's plans than anybody even realized.

Who's the Queen of /g/?

*pushes up glasses* Heh, women can't be engineers, there has never been a good female software eng-ACK!
>Joanna Rutkowska (born 1981 in Warsaw) is a Polish computer security researcher, primarily known for her research on low-level security and stealth malware, and as founder of the Qubes OS security-focused desktop operating system.
>She became known in the security community after the Black Hat Briefings conference in Las Vegas in August 2006, where Rutkowska presented an attack against Vista kernel protection mechanism, and also a technique dubbed Blue Pill, that used hardware virtualization to move a running OS into a virtual machine. Subsequently, she has been named one of Five Hackers who Put a Mark on 2006 by eWeek Magazine for her research on the topic. The original concept of Blue Pill was published by another researcher at IEEE Oakland in May 2006 under the name VMBR.
>During the following years, Rutkowska continued to focus on low-level security. In 2007 she demonstrated that certain types of hardware-based memory acquisition (e.g. FireWire based) are unreliable and can be defeated. Later in 2007, together with team member Alexander Tereshkin, presented further research on virtualization malware. In 2008, Rutkowska with her team focused on Xen hypervisor security. In 2009, together with a team member Rafal Wojtczuk, presented an attack against Intel Trusted Execution Technology and Intel System Management Mode.

Since the windows mail client got replaced by outlook I started using Thunderbird but It got so slow lately that I want to replace it

I'm looking for something minimal, not bloated with a thousand tabs and options, I just need to read all my email in one place
