I see this behavior too on SPDY-using sites, including ones on CloudFlare. Everyone is constantly going on about the benefits of parallel requests that SPDY / HTTP/2 brings, but I'm not seeing it. Can anyone explain? I'

They work together very nicely. See taskjs ( http://taskjs.org/ ) for an example. ES7 is considering embracing that pattern with some syntax sugar ( http://wiki.ecmascript.org/doku.php?id=strawman:async_functi.

It seems like there's two ideas here: new error handling syntax, and new asynchronous task handling syntax. About asynchronous tasks: I think many people here might be interested in taskjs which combines Promises and ES6 generators ( h

And what sanitization should Apache be doing to all of the environment variables? A blacklist against "() {"? That syntax is specific to bash, bash's support for it is undocumented, and it can be in any environment variable.

The vulnerability only exists during the startup of a bash process. Updating bash is enough. Bash processes that are already running are past the point where they could be exploited. Future calls to bash will get the updated version. No ser

If an attacker can fully control the name of an injected environment variable, then you've lost already. The attacker can override LD_PRELOAD, which is an environment variable honored by the Linux kernel itself.

What sanitization do you expect the CGI framework to apply to the header value representing the user agent? str_replace($userAgent, '() {', 'no bash bug for you')? Only a few environment variables are given any meaning b

The vulnerability is the attacker's way into your system. If you've rooted and blocked that vulnerability, then the attacker can't use that way into your system.

What's really annoying is the pages where the background image stays fixed as you scroll down (and text starts to scroll up over the background image). Sometimes I believe I'm at the bottom of the page when scrolling appeared to d

There's no difference between that and just requiring the user to use a longer password. Anyone trying to attack the system will just program their cracker to be more likely to try concatenating words together awkwardly in the password

I payed it, it confirmed practically instantly, said "loading content...", and never got past that step. When I refreshed, a new paywall was in place asking for another payment.

I attempted to use Ekiga a few years ago. I remember having trouble getting it work, so I don't really have any hope in convincing anyone to use it when Skype is dead-simple. And I mainly use Skype for its group text chat support (and the f
