Probably less than you would think - even older iPhones have fairly decent resale value.

As an AT&T data point, I pay $162 a month for 3 iPhones on a 25 Gig data family share plan, which I think is still too expensive, but not that bad.

I've checked out Wable - are there any other providers that you know of that provide resource bundling like Wable? I really like Wable but I don't see an API, and for what I'm doing would have to have an API to control creat

Yeah it is only month to month (previous month's unused rolls over to the next month only).

I'm on the "Mobile Share Value 10GB With Rollover Data" - I own all 3 iPhones outright though, so maybe that's why I'm not getting hit for an additional $30 for the phones? Good to know!

Just as a point of reference, this is about on par with AT&T family share plans - I pay $145 a month for 3 iphones, unlimited text and talk with 10 gigs shared data. With taxes and fees it comes out to right around $160 (which would be

since "product" is the item I would do: GET /product/recommended?user_id={user_id} the "type" of products you want is a sub-set of all products (recommended). For differentiators I think using params is good.

Why is that unscientific? It's well known that cast iron gets "seasoned" by what you put in it, so if you put crap in it it's going to get seasoned with crap.

Yeah - that would not be an issue for mod_php since it is about DHCP - if you're server gets it's IP from DHCP, then there's a potential issue, but since we're talking about mod_php here (not running PHP as a CGI, just m

by jamroom 12y ago
Correct - if you are using PHP as a CGI. This does not affect mod_php.

Yeah I get that - but surely just _calling_ /bin/bash isn't enough - you have to be able to pass in the arguments to bash that enable this exploit. And if you're not allowing user input into your system call, I still th

by jamroom 12y ago
I must not be understanding how this works then - how would /bin/bash be executed from a PHP system() call unless it was called directly from the command? And if you don't allow user input into the system call, how is /

by jamroom 12y ago
in what way?
167.
by jamroom 12y ago
from my understanding mod_php is not affected. However, if you have any system() calls in your PHP code AND you allow user input to be used in those system calls, then /bin/bash could be executed via the system call. If you cont

From the article: "Of course one means of mitigating this particular attack vector is simply to disable any CGI functionality that makes calls to a shell" If you're on Ubuntu: a2dismod cgi service apache2 restart

Yeah - it is really slow, but a surprisingly large number of hosting providers run it that way under cPanel.
170.
by jamroom 12y ago
Yeah this is true - a lot of hosting providers run PHP as a CGI as it allows them to run the PHP process under the user account (although it is very slow, and RUID2 is a better solution). If you're not running mod_cgi can this affect t

It's not just ads though - as someone who runs NoScript in Firefox the number of 3rd party ad targeting and "audience enhancement" stuff I see that gets pulled in to most sites is crazy - some sites pull in stuff from like 20

Most "normal" people assume whatever browser comes with Android is "Google's Browser" (right or wrong), so this could be a very big deal to A LOT of people. How many Android handset manufactures have shipped units

The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior - we know ISP's have throttled streaming video to enhance their own streaming video offerings, so is it that far fetched to believe they would do the same with VOIP? Most of these

I don't disagree with you - I just believe there must be some way for someone to "opt out" if they want - but if they do that how do we prevent someone from gaming the system who doesn't have the money to actually pay fo
