And it also explains why they changed the name from node-webkit: "because both parts of the name are irrelevant now" (since they're on io.js and Chromium).

Jonathan Haidt, one of the authors of the paper, has a page on "Post-partisan social psychology" with a 2011 presentation of his on the subject and various responses/debates. http://people.stern.nyu.edu/jhaidt

It kind of reminds me of a usenet newsgroup without a newsreader ... everything old is new again.

And the response was a great illustration of your point. Nice self-documenting experiment :)

A classic. This wasn't the first article about exploiting buffer overruns, but the clear description made it easily understandable. Of course since the introduction of mitigations like non-executable stacks, ASLR, etc. the techniques

Very nice! Nicely presented as well ... and timely too, I was just thinking about something today this would be perfect for. It seems like you could extend this to put more information on the coats. For example, I'd like to use one c

Similarly, Safari frequently locks up or crashes on my iPad -- behavior that started with 8.0.0 and has continued through 8.0.2. I rarely remember this happening in the past.
