Yes, using PATH for determining bash location is quite vulnerable to all kinds of security exploits.

The only real situation I'd like to use that is on Android, but it does not have /usr/bin/env either.

I would not say that dependency of the layers is like a tree and if trunk breaks, everything does. I'd rather see the levels of programming abstractions as a graph with lower/higher level nodes. As it is pointed out in the comment

I mostly agree with your point, I just want to remark that Russians are very keen at circumventing what they consider to be stupid (alas, this includes laws and rules). I suspect that an average Chinese respects the authority, whereas in Ru

Yes, you're right. And the example of active defense in the article is quite social too: put pressure upon the government to get them understand that harm to the internet is harm to themselves.

Opera web browser is quite popular in Russia and it has "turbo" mode supposed to compress the data using Opera proxies, so just turning it on is enough to have an IP outside of Russia. But the problem is not technical, it's a

I have very limited knowledge of the subject, but I had an impression that GPUs started to catch up on programmable capabilities with shaders. As far as I know, shaders reprogram the rendering pipeline, so is it a kind of specialized HW pro

We need a web-service that checks any word for any similarities to obscene words in languages of the worlds! Though I suspect that a lot of words may be such words.

Haskell is a lazy-by-default language, this has some interesting consequences (though you might have seen examples of lazy evaluation in Scheme, but it's not so omnipresent there). Haskell is pure: there's no mutable values in the

> what you get when 2 super-powers choose a foreign country as a battlefield - this is bullshit, because the driving force of the protests is disgust of the widespread corruption and rotting of the whole system. People are very tired of

That's not correct. There were two months of peaceful protest before the Hrushevskogo violence by radicals with bats, there were several raids by police to dismantle Maidan at night when most of people are at home - those efforts were

Yes, Ukraine has one of the largest IT outsourcing economies in Europe. That may be far from the start-up world of Silicon Valley, but that somewhat affects the US IT industry.

That was true about ten years ago and before. Now East has a very inefficient, power-hungry, noncompetitive economy that starts to eat more money for social subsidies than it produces (Yanukovych himself decided recently to make the "p

It's basics of cryptography, to have a stream statistically indistinguishable from random data. If TrueCrypt volumes were not random, that would be a huge fail. Otherwise it's just a necessary condition to be secure.

Yanukovych had requested whopping $160 bln. And just guess where a large part of this sum would go. So his requirement looked like extortion, moreover, after a little shock I realized that this money meant "You give me 160 billions, I

I agree with all your points with a minor exception: Crimea does have more than 50% Russians[0] - it's the only region that has more Russians than Ukrainians. [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimea#Demographics

Svoboda had to give up much of its "radical" appeal to gain real popularity. Now its target audience is not marginal skinheads and radical nationalists, Svoboda has attracted a lot, a lot of people (10% of votes in Ukraine in 2012

Yes, Tymoshenko is not an angel by any means, but her conviction was clearly a political act to frighten other possible rivals with selective justice. Also, this was a great deal to gain some Putin's favor.

This is a very simplified point of view. The eastern part is mostly Russian-speaking but that does not mean all they want to speak Russian, it is just a convention there that slowly breaks up. Ethnic Russians are only 17% of the population

Yes, you're right that Ukrainian opposition is still a part of the corrupt system, but there's a hope that Klichko (who lived in Europe for a long time) is a fresh blood here. Also, current Yanukovych's and Party of Regions c
