Selenium leaves trace in HTTP requests, so its use is quite detectable. The authors of PeopleSoft can include Selenium detection in their products, disallowing your automation scripts. Why not use GreaseMonkey instead?

Drawing with Wacom in Inkscape is a pleasure, once you get used to it. In some sense, it is more convenient than using a physical blackboard. Although, some training is needed...

Right, because computer programming (unlike computer science!) does not take a genius. It is, basically, a routine work. Unfortunately, there is a tendency to say the same about fundamental science, for example here: http://www.

It seems that such exploit would require some kind of `network-manager` running. But if `network-manager` is disabled, and all interfaces configured in `/etc/network/interfaces`, then the new malicious interface will be just

Right, but a custom HTTP header does not even have to contain a secret. I just has to have a non-standard name. Firefox will refuse setting it, right?

by oandrei 10y ago
Perhaps a server, when running in development mode, should require a custom HTTP header? This would be a non-simple request, and the browser will refuse. Would this be a reasonable counter-measure?

Here in Brazil, all NATs are either defective or ``symmetric'' whatever this means I am not an expert sorry. I do not expect STUN to work. As for TURN, this means traffic will go through the server. Then how is it better than Skyp

STUN server is not a real solution. It is typically unable to penetrate NAT. Maybe WebRTC will work sometimes, but it is not a reliable solution. It is difficult to come up with alternative to Skype until IPv6 is widely adopted. But when we

Dear William, thank you for your great work! My post was sarcastic. I completely agree with what you wrote in your comment. But I do believe that my guess about why your proposal was rejected is partially correct.

"making only some software available in US" --- you slightly missed my point. I meant "software only available in US". That would be impossible to achieve with Sage, as Sage is open source. If you support Sage, you canno

Academia needs some control mechanisms. Otherwise, the scientific research is at risk of becoming completely chaotic. Selective availability of software is one of those mechanisms. In this case, a closed-source software is made available to

It says ``This video can’t be played with your current setup'' I guess must be some super-advanced new audio-codec. Please, recommend me how to get around this restriction!

Also, if they submit a revised version, it will be a different page. Anyway, I don't think we will ever get a good PDF reader, because there is no demand. People read HTML.

Thanks for the link, I will have a look! Although, in terms of typography you cannot beat LaTeX. That's what LaTeX is good at. But the thing is, I don't care so much about the typographic quality. All I need is a quick way of inse

The main problem with LaTeX is that it does not have a good hyperlink mechanism. So, I am thinking about how to switch from LaTeX to HTML. I have a markup system based on Racket: http://andreimikhailov.com/slides/bystro
