I discovered it a few minutes ago because I had just purchased a Premium Spotify license and opened Grooveshark to export my collections. All my favorite songs, albums and bands were listed there, and only there. I used Grooveshark for a fe

I know we could SSL sigaint.org, but if it is a state-actor they could just use one of their CAs and mill a key. Please don't use that argument. It's like not putting a lock on your door because thieves can just bus

Flash Player, Adobe Reader, JVM, etc etc etc. I don't think it's a localized problem. And we only have so many people with the skills of the LibreSSL team to go around.

Simple, cute solution that anybody can understand: record yourself setting it up. A video feed from a camera and another from the screen itself. Starting from a fresh system, install the dependencies, download the source, verify the hashes,

By my count 12 out of the 14 vulnerabilities in this advisory are due to manual memory management. And past ones were similar. This is security critical code, being developed and polished for more than a decade, and the only thing protectin

Don't hold me on this, just bouncing a few possible solutions: - Inheritance: start with an empty dictionary and pass it to an "init" function. Inheritance is then just calling another "init" inside it. Allows for &

There might be more than one device, and if it's transmitting over GSM they can triangulate by the towers.

It reads like the software list from Ninite ( https://ninite.com/ ). Large, dev-oriented free (as in beer) software. And nothing music related as far as I can see. One more point against automatic DMCA complaints.

I don't think the name similarity was a coincidence. For context, The Young Lady's Primer is a fictional book in Neal Stephenson's Diamond Age sci-fi novel. It's a electronic choose-your-own-adventure book that tailors i

Oh, hello mrdoob. My doubt is about authorship . If I make a texture with texgen, can I claim to be the author? Probably yes, but where do we draw the line? If I create a Minecraft world by selecting a single seed, and take a slice of the

Correct. But my doubts are over the output of the software. On one hand, the output depends on your artistic instructions, so you are entitled to it. On the other hand, the tool greatly restricts the solution space, so the tool itself (an

Those are very beautiful. I played around, but could not create anything interesting. Adding the source for each sample, not only the first, could be a great addition. I have absolutely no idea how to achieve the effect of #7 or #8, for exa

When I chose a channel for my router, there was a clear option labelled "auto". If this algorithm for channel selection is novel, what does "auto" do? Also, kudos for the idea. This is a much needed feature in today&#x27

Dang, sorry. I skimmed the manual again, but couldn't find the exact feature(s) that triggered my conclusion. Maybe they have been plugged already. Anyway, I think I'm overdue on reevaluating the language. I can't wait to rep

I was being handwavy with the values (adding a fixed 20 bytes for header), but let's try something more precise: the average packet size was 483 bytes (average data length = 441 bytes) So header size is 42 bytes (483 - 441

by BoppreH 12y ago
Isn't the 440 figure disingenuous? Surely you must count UDP/TCP header size, which would bring the value closer to 21/461 ~= 22. Still an interesting discovery. DDoS amplification is a security risk few people consider when

I agree the second paragraph is personal and meta, and I don't like it either. But if I ever go down a rabbit hole and end up detached from reality, I would love to have someone to tip me off. It's like pointing out someone&#x27

Where did that URL come from? That's what I meant by "clean install". You can really get from zero to copyright violation in three clicks and no external knowledge by using those applications.

With those applications you can get from clean install to playing a copyrighted movie in three clicks. You don't do that with a web browser. Also, they are meant to be used that way. When people recommend those applications to friend
