I am unable to actually find an sort of source for the statistic that "Adjuncts now make up well over 50 percent of the faculty at colleges and universities." It seems to go back to the SEIU, a group that is attempting to unionize

No, I am saying there are professors receiving $200k with perks. An adjunct position isn't supposed to be a full-time long term position, so why should it be paid as such?

I feel for Ms. Vojtko's family, but I don't feel like complaining about adjunct professor salaries is being fair. These positions are short term contract (6 months-1 year) and are not meant as long term employment. These position

Yeah, when testing with short stings, the difference is great, but strings at the 4096 limit only vary by a couple of percent.

Yeah, that is what I am saying. They keep saying that they limited the length of passwords to 4096 bytes, but they actually limited them to 4096 characters.

It is priced well below what System76 offers, but the specs aren't in any way compareable. The cheapest System76 desktop comes with an i5 minimum. Your machine is offering a celeron/atom. You are comparing apples to oranges.

I'm also not sure how this differentiates itself. I can buy a barebones machine from Dell for $300 with similar specs (2Ghx Celeron, 4Gb RAM) and add a 32GB SSD from Newegg for $50, and that gets me a keyboard and a mouse. What does o

You are correct, I completely missed that. However, he again fails to provide any sort of explanation of what he did to perform the attack. Even if he had reverted back to his native language, he never even attempts to explain what he did

I don't know why you are being sarcastic. I don't make one mention of Khalil's grammar. I understand that everyone's first language isn't english, but Khalil isn't even making an effort to be clear or accurat

I'm not sure how Facebook was supposed to know this was a vulnerability. If you look at the actual conversation it looks like Khalil is reporting the ability to post on other people's walls as a vulnerability. In the first email,

How does the first email contain enough information to base a case on? All he says is that he can post links to other people's walls. He makes absolutely no mention of not being the target's friend.

This is exactly the info I needed for some work I am doing. Thanks!

That is a by-product of being SPDY compliant. The SPDY spec doesn't allow for unencrypted traffic, which is just one reason we need to switch over.

I would hope so. It shouldn't matter how "easy" something is to find. If the bug was really that easy, the team should have never let it out onto production.

I took a quick video of it on my machine: OSX 10.8.3, Chrome Canary Version 28.0.1499.0 canary. It doesn't happen on any other browser on my machine (Vanilla Chrome, Firefox, FirefoxNightly) http://screencast.com/t/2DOssUNcJrGt

I don't understand why the smaller file size is such a big deal. The file is going to be cached, and with the use of CDNs, is more than likely already cached before the client ever visits my website. So if the Query team is still going to

I don't understand what the problem is? It is a shared folder. If someone deletes something, it is deleted everywhere. That isn't a bug, that is the purpose of Dropbox.

"People will be able to opt-out of HTTPS for maximum speed if that’s how they roll." Why is that even an option? This entire article is written in such a way that most users are going to assume that Facebook is going to start loading at a

Why is it worse to uppercase the password before hashing for people who use the same password on multiple sites? It doesn't matter if it is a 24 character password using every character set possible, if it is the same password they use som

I think Facebook is an excellent piece of evidence that users are generally concerned about UX over security. Just because you and I are are thinking about security, doesn't mean most people are. And I don't even feel like this is a horrib

The attacker more than likely just sniffed the credentials over the air. With the titles of the "hacking manuals" this guy didn't sound like a very sophisticated attacker. This would have been before the large movement to HTTPS for logins

If the network was used as little as my parents is, and if this guy didn't have a network card capable of reinjecting packets, I can certainly see it taking a couple of weeks to get the number of IVs needed to crack a WEP key.
