Considering that XKeyscore was designed to slurp all the things, all the time, this code actually just looks like a very small, tor-specific subset of simple tagging rules. One would assume that those tags can be used to later analyse the d

They're big binary blobs. If the tables aren't locked while you're backing up, you're going to end up with inconsistent data. There are tools like xtrabackup that allow you to extract a live copy of the files, but someti

> OpenBSD for security I dunno, I hear this a lot. Sure OpenBSD has created and implemented some (often very bleeding edge) hardening features, but nothing that hasn't seen the light of day in something like GRSecuriy. But the lack

Yes, normally certificate errors would be thrown. In this case Apple is not performing the domain validity checks on the presented cert. This allows an attacker that is performing an mitm attack to present a valid cert for another domain an

Is the address you're getting a fe80::/64 address? Because that is a "link local" address that gets automatically assigned to any IPv6-enabled interface.

Right, I can understand that. It's a lot of effort to put in up-front just to support Google's pet project of the day. This is a really good reason why dart2js exists and why so much effort has been expended in making it good. How

What exactly is proprietary about it? Browser vendors are free to integrate the VM into their products, and if they don't want to there is dart2js which is acceptable. This isn't even close to the situation presented by Silverligh

Why is it used for telecommuting? Because it can protect the sensitive (internal corporate network) information while its travelling over untrusted networks, with the destination being none the wiser. Bridging two networks (or a host and a

Given the size and content of the patches under discussion here, I think they'll be fine maintaining that level of Mir integration with the Intel drivers themselves.

It still happens in the iOS world. I bought RAD Soldiers and it hounds me via notification to play it every few days. No way to disable it except to disable all notifications from the game completely.

I found the gameplay of LoL to be a bit stale and DOTA2 much more dynamic. Also, 'buying' champions to play with did not sit well with me at all. Edit: Also, yes, LoL was made to run with much lower-spec PC's than DOTA2. That

There's actually a workaround for this. Most Java distributions have the ability to work with non-reparenting WM's, but they detect it based on the window manager name. So the workaround ends up being impersonating another non-rep

Unbearable for you perhaps. However, those of us with more than a few machines to look after appreciate the glacial pace and the full support of their stable platform. Change (well, poorly managed change) causes instability and issues. Debi

Then it doesn't get delivered. EDIT: Having the "finished" site on a test host (or even just a temporary DNS name) until the final payment seems like a shrewd move. The work is complete, but if you don't get final payment it doesn't go live

I'm pretty sure his comment is indicating he _does_ use Python and that is his take on the "significant whitespace" issue.

Completely agree. The people behind Symfony (and other embraced projects such as Composer) are dragging PHP kicking and screaming into the modern age. The support and tooling they've managed to come up with is great, rivalling some of the m
