You will not, because that domain is blocked in every OSI layer possible in my local setup. ;) But seriously: Yes, of course you would. They have to be pasted in clear text. There is no other way to do this. But that's not the point. T

This! The assumption that some uber-1337-hax0r is accessing the system who will install a rootkit just by looking at it is just not close to reality. It is on the other hand a very real situation that some weird friends, family members or c

Do you have any numbers of how many would-be contributers have been scared aways by him? How many, on the other hand, have been attracted by his person? And what about the 1-to-2 ratio, any proof for that? And how would all of this make the

You listed stuff that only affect yourself when you screw it up. But when you build systems for others (read: paying customers) you have to make sure you do your very best. And when it comes to cryptography 99% of developers are better of u

I'm wondering why so many people use bitbucket/github for their (commercial) projects instead of setting up their own repo management system (like RhodeCode). It's not hard to set up and you can have as much repositories as you want to.

There are far more software project starts than good names out there. I doubt that. Define 'good name'. Also, for open source software it does not matter that much what it is named. Who would care if Python was named e.g. Snake or J
