Thanks all for the information. The reason I wanted to not upgrade directly is that access was hard at the moment of posting. Upgrading should never wait too long but this was (luckily) defcon 1 for us.

I'm not an expert so I'll ask here: Is there an attack vector if you run PostgreSQL locally, no untrusted users are able to create connection strings and do not allow remote access? It seems to be no but I prefer to be sure ;)

I agree that it is not a very deep point but I think the point is a different one from the point your analogy make. People go to toilets, slack off and do all kinds of things during work that are not actually work. Those things are unavoida

I have nginx + gunicorn controlled by supervisord running and I must admit coming from LAMP it went not as smooth as I hoped. For me the main problem was that all these parts have to be configured correctly or nothing much will happen at al

This is only true for content producers. As long as the content producers use other means than G+ to publicize their content I, as a consumer, have no incentive to use G+. So to me this still seems to be a losing proposition. Consumers vast

I hate VBA as much as the next person here, quite certainly even more. However, comparing VBA and Javascript: - To be really productive Javascript requires knowledge of HTML/CSS - Both have their quircks - For the things people do in their

A 17 year old would not be legal, so I don't see how barely legal applies to 17 year olds because that would be illegal in most jurisdictions. EDIT: Thanks, I misunderstood.

But most have access to Excel. VBA has it warts but the step from Excel is small and creating something valuable is actually possible for beginners.

Agreed, but now I think of it there is a level beyond the copying/stealing of code: "The best code is the code you didn't write". Of course, it is even better to beat a complex program with a small amount of shell-fu.[1] [1]: http://frankl

Don't be sorry, great links such as these never bore. If the readers were bored we wouldn't upvote it agian. Plus, the fact that HN allows reposting URL's after a while seems to be design.

I think that is implicit in points 2 and 3. If they don't apprecatie you how can you enjoy your work? and pay has always been the most concrete form of appreciation.

How is it sufficient to know the padding to break TLS? I thought that if you know the padding, you only know the message length.

Yes, and to add: I willingly and knowingly broke the rules for the greater good. I expected that this would be better received here.
