   HFS+ can be configured at creation time to be case sensitive. I did so a while back. Worked perfectly except for one application which could not find it's files. So i had to create a container and Format it case in sensitive and intall

   Until an attacker comes and "parks" in front of the red light blocking all the traffic. There is no legal obligation to keep moving.

   There is a denial-of-service attack possible. Red light with green arrow means you may turn right if you feel like it or wait for green. Just park your car in front of the traffic light... it'll be fine.

    I don't get the whole VPS thing anyway. 5$ for playing around is great but anything that costs more is just not worth it. 60$/month for 16GB, 1CPU, 20GB disk for VPS... in comparison a root server with real remote console access,

    GPS is a military project controlled by the US. With just a switch of a button the civilian receivers will be practical worthless for navigation. They can't do that on Galileo or GLONASS. I imagine Russia can dial down GLONASS precisio

    I would argue that w is a ligature of double-v but since the latin v was pronounced like todays u, its pronounced double-u. Works very well in english and other European languages. Uuindouu... One cant help but make a w sound. Vvindovv... N

    I just think of it as offsets. Array X at offset 0, which is the first entry.

    reallocarray is a very thin layer around realloc. No surprises there. Simple find and replace to bring overflow checking into your code. reallocarr changes the semantics. Equally easy in new pieces of code and a little harder when convertin

    > Plus, if we wanted to, we could certainly write our own wrapper for malloc that took two arguments and multiplied them together with overflow checking. And in fact if we want an overflow-safe version of realloc, or if we don't wan

    I would not do that. Userspace Apps have way to many ways to screw up memory managment already. Allowing them to buf=malloc(128); free(buf, 256); seems dangerous, if free can't check the size. But kernels sometimes do just

    But it can overflow, which will result in a different value that the programmer might expect, which can give an attacker a nice "information leak" or worse. This could be a security bug!

    Not on OpenBSD. The bootloader supplies entropy, so that basically as soon as the kernel starts booting, random numbers are available. Edit: /dev/random on OpenBSD also does not block.
