For some this will be obvious, but for others it may still be interesting: If this was a "true" regular expression, in the sense that it describes a regular language ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_langu

Must not necessarily look different: use a PRNG with a fixed seed, possibly as part of the image itself. Since there's nothing cryptorelevant here, the PRNG can be a simple one and its exact parameters specified as part of the standard

This is exactly what I want to read on Hacker News. Some people come here for the posts about startups/founder culture (I don't, but I fully accept that it's part of the site), some because of the highly technical posts. It&#

Great. You just gave luser at least read access to a whole lot of your hardware, including your whole hard disks, swap space, and some device nodes which potentially crash the system upon random reading.

As soon as they use for example, say, utmp, they will break. Worse, they might trash your utmp. The utmp format was changed with the transition from libc5 to glibc 2, to support IPv6. You might not care too much about utmp nowaways, but it&

The stack was overwritten with 'A's, and thus upon returning from a function the return address consisted entirely of 'A's, which is why EIP is now filled with it. A clever hacker would use this to jump into some malicious code instead; tha
