Just curious, what's so bad about CentOS? (Aside from not really being intended for desktop use.)

A device like that could use a 2-phase protocol so that each step of the transaction is kept under 2ms even if the whole thing takes 10s.

Backups of keys are a lot smaller and fit on USB flash drives and CDs. So in practice keeping encrypted backups with multiple keys is easier to deal with

I think in that case it would make sense to build your own NIC so that it can operate out of spec. Ethernet PHY ICs that speak MII or RMII are usually only a few dollars each. One of those might give you the signal you are looking for.

Disabling pasting on forms is like... security through cargo cultism. If we make things seem secure, maybe the bad guys will just leave us alone!

Oh no, someone shut down my money printer.

What would be cool is the ability to right click on a tab and give it priority so that it runs with higher performance.

If you captured and replayed the IR flashing signals you might be able to abuse such a system to prevent people from taking pictures of other things, such as yourself. I wonder if a little bit of cryptography embedded in the signal and the

Why not just use a lower PCI Express version? You might lose some speed but it will be backwards compatible with the lower clocks.

Not just that, but not all 802.1x methods actually provide mutual authentication either. In order to avoid this attack, the user device needs to authenticate the access point (and keys have to be distributed somehow!) At the very least, ens

This doesn't really fix the problem though. If WebUSB exists in peoples' browsers, and if a game on a web page asks to connect to your joystick, or some other peripheral, people are going to do it anyway, regardless of the risks.

Some USB devices can be firmware-flashed over USB. They expose secret commands or additional descriptors for doing this. A popular method is to expose an HID endpoint that is actually used for uploading firmware. If the implementation allow

They can always sign the FPGA bitstreams so that only approved bitstreams are allowed to run on matching approved silicon. Similar to CPU binning, certain CPUs would only be able to load certain bitstreams depending on fuse flags.

I've been running ZFS on a machine with 768 MB of RAM and there have been no issues. If you set the size of the ARC cache according to your needs and you do not use deduplication then you won't encounter any issues. Deduplication

The L2ARC is just a read cache that works alongside the regular ARC stored in RAM. If the L2ARC device malfunctions then you might see a performance hit, but your pool will remain intact. All L2ARC reads are checked for integrity, so invali

The only issue with this kind of hack is that it uses a lot of bandwidth continuously, as long as the image exists. I wouldn't exactly consider GIF to be a good compression format for live streaming. This might not be an issue for user

Among other things, it allows the project owner to relicense the project without having to contact every contributor requesting permission to relicense.

I think this has something to do with a Korean antivirus program called ALYac.

Proprietary drivers already exist and they are legal. (Whether or not that's a good thing, is a different, controversial topic.) They work by having the user compile an open-source shim module which allows device control from userspace

From what I've seen, most ISPs running DOCSIS networks are able to do this with CPE (Customer Premises Equipment.)

The issue with that is that you end up with double NAT unless you happen to have the ability to turn off NAT on the ISP router (from my experience this is uncommon.)

I would argue that the impact of LTE-U on Wi-Fi is actually greater than that of Wi-Fi on Wi-Fi, despite what you have pointed out. It is true that LTE-U operates on a fair time-share basis (TDMA [1]), however the problem here is that LTE-U

In practice it's more like 10 to 20 km for max throughput.

Pretty cool - it reminds me of the Cisco IOS ping command.

It needs an accelerometer to engage the magnet if the device is disturbed without the handle being touched.

The paper you referred to doesn't make any claims with regards to ionization - the effects considered are mainly having to do with the molecular dynamics behaviors of DNA.

I would imagine that some hardware RTCs would not support the :60 leap second value. In fact I cannot recall a single RTC that I have dealt with, that understands leap seconds.
