Isn't the issue here that pretty much everyone would be behind Carrier Grade NATs? For every 1000 or so servers (or CGNs) an ISP adds to a network, 1000 home users must be NATted. I think you can rule out vhosts and the like for NAT trave

There's still an upper limit of 64K listening ports at the top level of NAT for both TCP and UDP. The UDP side is probably worse. A shortage of UDP ports would pin down DNS servers to a single IP:port and make spoofing responses easier.

The choice of cumulative distribution vs. time-dependent response times depends a lot on what you're trying to measure. The cumulative distribution is useful for showing the likely response time and its variation, but assumes a constant st

Windows 7 refuses to show the UTF-8 characters or show the login page automatically. I suppose that explains the lack of Windows UIs in the episode. It also suggests that unlike OS X users, Windows users are immune from alien Wi-Fi attack

Could this be a Windows-only issue? I found that it was unreadable on Firefox 19, Opera 12.02 and Chrome on Windows 7.

If I understand the articles and your comment correctly: The issue here is that you have N routers all with their own estimates of free vs. in-use. Selecting a random free dyno is fine with one router because you can guarantee that it is t

That's also true, but as you point out, still requires a closed-source or a hardware DRM decoder to avoid kernel-level attacks. That would seem to rule out Linux support even if Windows or OS X Firefox/Chrome can safely use it.

You can do that far better by applying it to itself ("Can any headline which ends in a question mark be answered by the word no?") or with a question requiring a non-yes/no answer ("How many Higgs bosons has ATLAS really found?").

That's assuming that the users have the server access to install the packages or an up-to-date PHP interpreter. A lot of the appeal of PHP is that it is available on cheap shared hosting, which until recently would not be guaranteed to hav

Apparently only the print version needs to be 14pt; the web version can be 11pt Arial. At 96 DPI, 11pt Arial is slightly larger than the 14px used on the site. Good luck reading it on retina displays, too, although it's possible that the

As silly as it sounds, this almost sounds like a job for Git. In that case, you could simply revert a single commit, and have the user resolve the conflicts. For that to work well though, you'd need to keep separate "repositories" for pho

That's true. However, it's possible to do it with two co-created certificates ( http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2008/12/forging_ssl_ce... ), and depending on how the licensing process works, that could easily have been done. I would
