You may be a bit off with your calculation Where? Wikipedia uses 15,000 cpus on 750 hosts. These are not all webservers. Also, even though they could run their load on a fraction of the hardware it would probably not make a lot of sen

Very nice work, competition is always good. However, it seems worth mentioning that webservers haven't been a bottleneck for a long time now. Your bottleneck is always disk I/O, the network, or the slow application server that you

I am not a lawyer, my question was rhetoric. As a layman I would argue that we know anyway that these kinds of laws are rarely ever enforced upon companies the size of Sony. Especially not when there's a political PR spin as convenient

So by the way, when and how will Sony be held liable for criminal negligence? Their security track record is equivalent to a bank storing its customers, partners and employees crown jewels in a wooden bikeshed with no doorlock. Repeatedly.

How much of the code is actually sensitive to interruptions? Why not write that part in C and leave the rest to the more suitable language? I would guess that's a rather small portion of the codebase, essentially the callouts to adjt

That's not the point. The point is that you don't want to stand on only one leg when a flaw in that leg may be discovered in the future. Admittedly MD5 was a poor example from me in that light... A more realistic mix might be: sha

Better yet, use multiple hashes. Finding a simultaneous collision in sha256 and md5 seems pretty unlikely.

I would agree if this was yet another Todo-List app. But this is a product that targets Linux novices and asks them to upload all their data under a hand-wavy promise of protection. There should be a tad more explanation on how privacy
