CRIME works equally well against HTTP/TLS too when compression is enabled.

I'm not saying that we don't have a fascist government willing to censor anything they don't like the look of but the Press TV thing might not be the best example. They had their license revoked after broadcasting a "confession" by Canadian

Your example image ( http://www.sublimetext.com/anim/rename2_packed.png ) is in 8-bit colour. Perhaps you just only tried the awful GIF encoders that couldn't even do the dithering well :)

Doesn't GIF already have a differential animation mode since you can set unchanged pixels in each frame to transparent? e.g. http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/anim_opt/#opt_trans With PNG24 you'd at least get better colour depth. In which

Anything like this is going to need a mandatory Cache-control header that indicates whether the content can be shared cross-domain. Otherwise you can just probe the cache for arbitrary resources, similar to stuff like the a:visited browser

That doesn't make it "significantly more Free" just equal. MIT is not copyleft. I think arguing about quantities of freedom is fairly meaningless. Especially in this case where this is no effective difference in the rights of developers or

I doubt youd even have to break SSL using that attack. Lots of people do SSL termination at the load balancer.

by __alexs 14y ago
I suspect most TLS libraries will flush the compression buffer after each write call so its highly likely that every request will end on a deflate block boundary already.

by __alexs 14y ago
Due to the padding of even compressed SSL segments only having timing data will significantly complicate things. You'll be trying to measure the variance in deflate compressing different blocks with single byte differences. You better have

If Android users are bi-modal then simply factoring in the number of Android handset sales is not an accurate comparison either. It sounds like what we really want is a histogram of web usage vs number of users :)

I use the Gnome Tango colour scheme http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Theme_Guidelines where possible. I find it has good contrast between colours in general. In particular I can actually read the blue it uses on a black background.

I don't get why people like Solarized. It's way too low contrast in every dimension for my particular flavour of colour blindness. Maybe it's just a particularly pessimal colour scheme for me :( (Also the designer appears to have based one

Indeed, the first "Free" UNIX was released in the early 90's. The UNIX fragmentation of the 80's doesn't really describe the Bazaar from C&B to me either.

I don't think that's quite fair on Fowler. C&B was published only 2 years before his book on XP, The Toyota Way was published in 2001 as well. Really many of ideas which we've come to associate with "Agile"-like methods only really star
