The orange you are seeing at the top of the bottom stage may be either a tank or some sort of shielding for the tanks from the upper stage. I know the upper stage looks like it will use it's own heat shield... but it will also be re-en

Granted. Code reduction on the other hand is generally a good thing. :P I want to say that I would have done the same thing. At the same time though... doing so with a security application assumes that the team supporting the software you d

It's Theo de Raadt... It's possible that he knows of a real exploitable problem. It's possible that he is trying to boast about his prowess with things "security". It's possible the "hole" is a design

RSA was patent encumbered at the time the clause was made to the OpenSSH license. This very likely qualified RSA as "restrictively licensed". RSA was released from its patent in 2000 (just weeks before it expired). DSA I believe i

Drama baiting is something Theo de Raadt is good at. :) I have a feeling it has less to do with something sinister, and more to do with Theo's very vocal stance on the security situation in FreeBSD. http://www.itwire.com&#x2

I consider modern C++ to be a lot safer than C. Between RAII, copy, and move schematics the pointer use has gone down quite a bit. When you do use pointers, we finally have a real null pointer literal now. (I believe the latest C spec has a

I have a hard time when segregation gets labeled as a "political view". Segregation is a lot more than a political issue, but also a human rights issue. That $1000 actively helped pass a bill that prevented consenting adult couple

The fantastic thing about distributed version control systems like GIT is that you never actually have to depend on a single repository. Use Github, Bitbucket, and your own "server" all at once. None have to be read-only. Push a
