First of all, thanks for the comment. Down-votes don't add too much to the conversation. I agree with you, but I remember reading that argument backing the CLA (defense in court, to increase the value of the company in case they want t

"assigning Canonical the ability to re-license the code outside of the GPL" I think is more about ownership and IP than re-licensing. Copyright assignment adds value to Canonical as company, eg in case it is acquired.

Thanks for the info. Seems like it is more reliable than the post in MDN suggests: http://caniuse.com/#feat=use-strict

by reidrac 12y ago
Oh, yes... I did. The post you linked says it is not reliable and it shouldn't be trusted as not all browsers support it. I was asking in case you had anything to add. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

But what if you're targeting the browser? Is the strict mode supported?

Ubuntu Trusty's patched version 4.3 doesn't seem to be affected by this, but Precise version still is (4.2; same one as in Debian). Is this new exploit version dependent?

It is the server by adding the "Received: from ..." header, not Thunderbird fault. It is indeed a standard configuration.

In some of the products there's not need to worry as there's not competence. Well, it's basically search the service it doesn't really matter what they do.

I don't know if it is related, but there used to be a limit in shell parameters expansion in exec, that's why xargs was so handy when "rm *.txt" wasn't possible. That was changed some years ago: https://l

I was thinking almost the same, but to be fair that benchmark is useful to see how different operations compare (eg, delete is 29 times slower than read).

I think it is more related to the fact that it is an external project (I assume with different community interactions). So all that "Linux being himself" it's not that accurate.

I find interesting that the tone in the bug report is completely different (no "colourful language").

I played RPG tabletop games mostly in the 90s, and in Spain it wasn't really a "persecution complex". One man was murdered by two young guys while playing a "role playing game" one of them had invented. That spawned

I like the Blackwell series. The writing is excellent and the puzzles are mostly good (I recall only a couple of :facepalm: moments). The first game was released in 2006 and the last April 2014, so you can see the evolution of Wadjet Eye Ga

Easy: it's Javascript and canvas 2D packaged with https://crosswalk-project.org/ ; and 4.0 is a requirement. I was willing to use a WebView with Cordova, but Kit Kat introduced a bug (not hw acceleration in canvas 2D!)

A "sufficient" shoot'em up it's not too complicated to make, you can get an OK-ish engine in a week, but then you have to add content (stages, enemies, different AIs, etc). IMHO hat's the main difficulty of the genr

I'm not sure about this. Obviously there's a cost in the actual port of the game, but I suspect there's a lot of work besides that to support any new platform. I made some amateur games in python and they're trivial to r

I though that the whole point of the premise is that with the laptop you have huge computer power that was not available in 1975, but I'm surprised most comments don't find that interesting.

Looks like using Google's jsapi callback to pop-up the alert doesn't work any more, so that tip in the last one is misleading. (unless I was doing it wrong)

He said the problem was "legacy PS/2 keyboard/mouse emulation", that's why he can't run TempleOS natively. The Secure-Boot reference is more related to dual-booting I think.
