Isn't this a copyright violation, or has the story entered the public domain?

If the target used the same public key elsewhere, that ties two accounts to the same person, which may or may not help figure out who that person is.

So combine it with a man-in-the-middle attack to make the victim think he's logging into a known server (hmm, they changed the server key, ok). Disclaimer: I don't really know what I'm talking about.

All users' public ssh keys are also available through the API: http://developer.github.com/v3/users/keys/ It seems mostly harmless, but I'm not sure I see the point of making this information available.

It wouldn't have to say "Reading these terms of service is a criminal offense". It would merely have to say "Reading these terms of service is a violation of these terms of service".

I use the null character in GNU screen: escape ^@^@ On most keyboards, you can enter it with control-space, which is very easy to type and rarely used for other purposes (though emacs uses for `set-mark-command`). Control-] can als

"... what does the namespace declaration and halting error due to its omission accomplish for me?" It encourages generation of proper XML. If consumers accept invalid XML, guessing at what it's supposed to mean, then producers will become s

Different places have different expectations, and there's no reliable way to know in advance what those expectations are going to be -- other than asking. I think most employers understand that. If you can afford to say you wouldn't want to

Ask. Just ask your contact something like "Should I wear a suit and tie, or is business casual ok?"

If an object is defined as const, casting away its constness and modifying the object causes the program's behavior to be undefined. Compilers are free to take advantage of that.

No, compilers that accept "void main" do not necessarily produce executables that produce an exit status of 0. I just tried it with gcc on Ubuntu, and the exit status was 1. And the validity of "void main" doesn't depend on whether the syst

He's wrong. A pointer, at least in C, is not a number, and saying that it is just causes confusion. Pointers have some of the same properties as numbers (specifically integers). In particular, you can do arithmetic on them -- but only in

Thank you for making it clear that arrays are not pointers! I posted a few comments on the site.

Yes, but there are other ways to implement error handling -- and a ban on gotos is a lot easier to check and enforce than a ban on just "bad" gotos.
