I thought Gnome 3 wasted a lot of screen real estate Fonts are quite large by default. I usually set the font scaling factor to 0.9 with gnome-tweak-tool, this also reduces the size of the top panel. Since 3.10, the tendency for apps is t

It's interesting how they know it's happening, but don't seem to understand the consequences. In the video, they say that "the key and message can only be read by Sally." Or look at this one, where they even visuali

Oh wow. It uses a very innovative REST key exchange protocol. Encryption: * Messages are encrypted with AES 128 CBC * Random key for each message * The AES key is sent to the server, and exchanged for some key-id * They key id is

It's not a drop-in replacement for gcc. For example: In the second form above, main is called with argc equal to zero and argv equal to the NULL pointer. The program does not, therefore, have access to command-line arguments. http:&

I just had a quick look at Alloy ([0]), and I'm interested in how it could be integrated into the software development process -- once you're confident about your Alloy model, you have to transfer it to working code somehow. I

it also implements a small imap client(which may work fine for just reading gmail, but imap is a scary thing, everyone uses it a little differently) It uses imaplib from the Python standard library. Doesn't look scary to me.

I guess you're right. The mechanism is forward-secure, which means for an attacker that tampering the logs is the first thing to do, not the last ;-) As soon as the attacker manages to extract the state of the key generator from memory

Without support for this you can't even reboot cleanly after upgrading init or any of the libraries it uses, because init will keep old deleted executable open and make it impossible to remount root as read-only Lennart Poettering on

I'd say the biggest problem with upstart (and possibly the deal breaker) is the licensing terms. Upstart isn't even a real solution for Ubuntu: they still use SysV init scripts for many daemons (I don't know why exactly). B
