Whoah, downvote for this? I thought this was factual and helpful... if you disagree, can you at least let me know what's wrong? Thanks. For more details: Fedora 18 shipped with OpenSSL 1.0.1c on 11-Sep-2012: http://mirrors.k

Fedora has been on OpenSSL 1.0.1 since maybe March 14, 2012 (that was when the .spec was bumped, anyway)[0]. So quite a long window for Fedora users, unfortunately. [0]: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/openssl.git&#x

What part of the US do you live in that house prices are still depressed $150k since the bubble (on a house that costs presumably less than $800k)? In most cities prices have come back up, I think. Keep in mind... you have 34 years until yo

I'm not sure of that, simply because many employment contracts have a term something like "any employee output of value, even in off hours, is the property of the employer." So even if it was in his spare time, he might not o

If I am an inexperienced programmer building their first website and I refuse to even google what sanitizing inputs is, the last thing I need is some headline telling me "NEVER sanitize [my] inputs." Presumably, I won't rea

There is no other word that isn't confusing. If you refuse to actually do some cursory research into something before implementing it, you're going to get the stupid delete-is-sanitization stuff the author describes. "Doctor,

It's like, if you can avoid crashing through sufficient awareness and caution, why not save the money and avoid insurance? There's a risk <-> cost trade-off here, and on one side is higher risk lower cost and on the other si

I've been hearing about it from some FreeBSDers for months before that, so I can never remember the actual release date. But I would believe you on January :).

by awda 13y ago
It isn't that much older... stable/9 was the latest until 10 came out within the last year. The release cycle is closer to, say, Debian, than, say, Fedora.

Huh, I just went to the acid3 test in Firefox 28 and it failed . (Animation wasn't smooth, final rendering did not match expected image at all.) Is this surprising? I thought acid3 was a fairly old test.

Back-up deaths constitute 210 deaths per year, of 34k auto deaths anually (2012)? And this technology is only estimated to prevent 33% of them (60-70)? I guess every little 0.2% safety improvement is good if it's free... but I'm n

The way in which SAS is like Excel is that everything is a table. SAS is not very accessible, especially to non-coders.

This is actually contrary to Linux kernel "good style". Functions should be short and understandable. Comments should be on the top of the function, describing what the function is for. Comments describing variables in functions a
