As if a death threat is not 'enough harassment'. What does constitute enough harassment in your opinion? You make it sound as though there's nothing to be done against this. But that is not the case, things change. Perhaps re

Because saying it like sounds like they are merely using buzzords instead of clearly stating why their system is secure. To me it seemed that the intended result for the user was to think: "super cryptographically secure 160bit secret

More people have noticed this, there has also been an item in John Olivers talkshow about it. Very funny, but also very sad. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/06/john-oliver-civil-f... Also this, an artic

I do not understand this. Who/What are these recruiters and in which fields are they relevant? I work in tech, and when I'm looking for work somewhere I don't have any contacts yet I'll just send them my cv directly. No

Edit: this turned into a really long comment, only the first part is an answer to the parent post. The second part is more of a personal philosophy of how minds work. I'm far from an expert in law and/or it's interpretation.

Indeed, I really don't see how you can defend not being punished for seriously harming others be it physically or physiologically. Especially in this day and age, where mental problems are beginning to get the attention they deserve an

It's probably easier and secure to embed this kind of data into signature images. Those are quite common and a normal user can't see that data is injected, as opposed to a system where data is transformed to look like a normal con

I found this article badly written. The author seems to confuse the two different types of AI that different people in his article are talking about. Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk are talking about a hypothetical evil or amoral AI with supe

I find that debatable, they are still guilty to some extent because of their inaction to do anything (effective) against these botnets. whether 'action' would refer to users installing a decent anti-virus, or an ips blocking and i

You know what I also really like about C# is the .net runtime. I know that allot of people dislike it because there's so much leftover stuff from previous versions, however despite this it's one of the most comprehensive runtimes

Edit: I should read more throughly next time, we don't really seem to disagree at all. I thought I read that you said that these patterns were not interesting because they are not 'perfect'. Original comment: I've always

I, for one, am very glad that I found this website. I migrated here from slashdot and arstechnica, and the community is much less toxic here. I also find that the level of discussion is higher and that the comments are often more insightful

Though it should certainly not happen, it's not uncommon for various applications to 'shell-out' certain tasks. The point I was trying to make is that you're not necessarily secure just because you don't use CGI or

Yes. I've seen attempts to exploit bash via http headers (the headers them selves). Like so: GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n Host: () { :;}; echo vulnerable\r\n User-Agent: () () { :;}; echo vulnerable\r\n\r\n So even static servers could

I'm of the opinion that, as with all things, the degree to which something happens is relevant. I'm saying that the way these people live, 'as if in perpetual envy', is no longer a form of envy. It's something diffe

This is not about envy, and you sound very condescending to me by calling the issues these people have 'envy'. This is about serious mental illness caused by a perception of enormous inequality. Envy is just an emotion, not a way

There have been studies that showed that the psychological problems that stem from being poor have little to do with your absolute wealth. It's more of a peer-thing. If you're the poorest man in a very rich peer-group you'll

I'm not sure, and the server response from your sample certainly does not fit with this idea, but maybe it's because curl uses http/1.0? Or is that wget that uses 1.0... Fire up wireshark ;) Edit: So it was the useragent and
