I mean don't pay someone for breaking into your system and not telling you how they did it. Pay them only if they provide you with some useful information that can help you fix the problem.

It's interesting that the article mentions the Ariane 5 bug, but doesn't mention that the Ariane 5 software (at least the component that caused the bug) was written in Ada, not C. The real problem is that the Ariane 4 software was

Perhaps they're just saying that any spot below 5000 feet AGL is subject to jamming, not that all points above that level will be jammed. (I have no idea how any of this would work.)

I wonder whether this GPS jamming also affects GLONASS.

by _kst_ 10y ago
The article says it affects "GPS signals down to 50 feet AGL". (I believe that's Above Ground Level.) So it shouldn't affect surface navigation.

The matter-antimatter annihilation near the boundary would generate enough energy to blow the antimatter shell into deep space (where it would cause some serious problems for the rest of the Solar System). The released energy would likely (

It would be nice if the README mentioned what CryEngine is. (By visiting https://www.cryengine.com/ , I found out that it's a game development platform.)

It uses "U+FEFF ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE", also known as "BYTE ORDER MARK" -- which means that an Anguish program that starts with that character might not survive translation to or from UTF-16.

I have to admit that I'm unclear on the distinction between "exists objectively" and "merely on paper" in this context.

Sort of. The copyright is 1996-2003. <stdint.h> was introduced in the 1999 ISO C standard. But as of 2003, support for C99 wasn't very widespread, so omitting <stdint.h> was understandable.
