What is the likely outcome of this? I'm guessing a lot of pull requests that never get merged. This is essentially the application of one very subjective morality over lexical sentiment and embodies the wider issue of offence. Offence

The biggest problem you will face (or at least need to worry about) is MitM attacks on the insecure wireless, which can be solved by a VPN, ssh tunnel or just forcing SSL with extensions like HTTPS Everywhere[1]. Rather than having alerting

All the ISPs say only new customers are affected. I have had Virgin for over 6 months now and it suddenly enabled itself. Same goes for my parents who have been with Sky for a number of years now and their filter enabled itself and my mothe

A guess would be that obtaining medication in an official way may affect them when it comes to selection relating to field readiness. I.e. if you are being prescribed anti-biotics it may be showing that you aren't in peak fitness so ma

There are several problems I see with this. Firstly, from their literature I am guessing they want to be grabbing on to people who want to continue using XP style services after Microsoft cuts support for XP next year, however I feel they w

LXC does require Linux and x64 is the recommended architecture to run it on, however LXC can be built for other platforms (namely x86, x86-64, IA-64, PowerPC, SPARC, Itanium and ARM [1]) And just today there was a breakthrough in getting Do

This would only work on connectionless protocols, such as UDP. UDP offers no message reliability and relies on the source address to respond. This is how DNS amplification attacks work, as the main protocol of DNS is UDP. Whereas HTTP goes

Not so much an example of why not to use budget providers, more an example of why you should build highly available infrastructure. I don't believe there is any provider, "budget" or not, that guarantees a servers reliability

My first thought was obviously that of Santa Claus, and leaving coal in the stockings of naughty children. However the commentary here and the text on the website lead me to think it was perhaps referring to something more localised to Amer

I don't think requiring that your user(s) be compromised before this becoming an issue is a valid defence. Especially when cookies are easily stolen using something like Firesheep or as simple as forgetting to logout of a public termin
