gcc (4.3.4 on my box) is pretty vocal and explicit about all the shenanigans you mentioned.

You're oversimplifying a real problem. Would you "authenticate" your own toolbar somehow? That's probably excess effort for a temporary 15 minute ban. Would you rate limit it? Well that's a lost cause if I ever saw one; bots can rate limit

Yup, Ubuntu is awesome. After installing it for the first time, I never went back to other distros for my GNU/Linux desktops. Too bad that Canonical is unsustainable, and we'll soon lose it if FOSS enthusiasts don't shift their mindset a li

That's right. However, I think that if I were in a position to steal a certificate, it'd be trivial to also get the pass[code|phrase|whatever], assuming there even was one to begin with. ;-)

You're making the assumption that a government would not pay for the development and exploitation of those vulnerabilities, which is de facto false considering the current "cyberdefense" capabilities of developed countries.

It's much more likely that the certificate used were stolen (from Realtek Semiconductor Corp.), than cracked.

The biggest, outside of twitter, has to be the method of emailing enormous html links to someone. Last I tried, I could send an email formatted in HTML, where: <a href="http://my.crazy.long.url.gz">See this</a> didn

Wow. I'd never thought I'd see Voyager 2 being cited as the state-of-the-art.

I don't think anybody with a desk places it with their back to the wall. Lawyers, doctors, teachers, professors, secretaries...but developers are more equal .

Then apparently it was a bad analogue to encryption schemes by jdavid, since the incentives behind each are clearly very different.

In the past, I've been working with a manager who shared, more or less, your style. The work environment was less formal, with no cubicles but desks which appeared crammed, but were similarly placed to allow the manager to snoop around with

And it's done frequently, and keys are cracked in anywhere from a week to a couple months for each disc. That, to me, is a sign of a broken scheme, semantic arguments notwithstanding.

I apologize in advance since I don't know the current state of things on this in the US, but is it different than the EU? As far as I know, lawful interception systems are widely in use here (EU) even today (in ISPs, banks, major mobile tel

He's obviously talking about AACS and BD+. Which have also been cracked.

So your best bet is to always use signed int, excluding when they're not appropriate ;-) Exactly, that's why both types are needed. However, when it comes to mixing or using them interchangeably in code, type casts are usually the best in

Precedence does not matter, semantics do: pointer arithmetic is well defined, but taking the address of an arbitrary expression is not (and should not be, ever).

Unsigned integer types are needed for well defined modular arithmetic, and signed integer types are needed for, well, negative values of β.

We've entered the hypothetical realm here..clearly some people have had different experiences when it comes to interacting with "Lispers". Maybe they asked the wrong question or they acted like jerks, who knows. And most adult programming

I disagree. I think it's nothing but a good idea compared to its current state, for the following reasons: - IPC in userspace is insecure, and currently easily subverted by rootkits. - When a system is under heavy load, the dbus daemon beco
