When the paper talks about dissemination via aerosol, that means small droplets of saliva or other bodily fluid ejected into the air. This isn't a howto for insane terrorists to put Ebola into hairspray canisters :)

It's definitely for a different use case. Phantom/Nightmare is for automating web page interaction, whereas Selenium is for cross-browser testing.

You're right, of course. Exploitable weaknesses in busybox are going to be killer - I think shellshock will turn out to be the start of something really big. But, to clarify for others, the existing shellshock PoC doesn't work on

But there's three independent labs working on this concept, plus NASA. _Who_ is lying, the EmDrive folks? And if they are, then how are NASA, the Chinese and the other lab all replicating their results?

Definitely. On the other side, it's even worse if you're having a conversation with someone and they start editing their comments which you have already replied to, invalidating the entire thread of conversation and making you lo

You say jQuery "gracefully does nothing", I say the code fails silently and the application breaks anyway with no real indication of where the problem lies.

Yeah this guy is a really engaging writer. Just because this is HN, I have to call out his post on Paul Graham: http://www.idlewords.com/2005/04/dabblers_and_blowhards.htm It's from 2005 so a lot of the link

If you don't care what browser is making the requests, use MechanicalSoup. If you do care, use Selenium.

It looks like it to me - I have personal services running through them as well and my stuff stopped working last week. Of course, I also had multiple concurrent hardware failures, so I was assuming it was just that.

If you have a copy of the source that you've vetted, and you can compile it in such a way that the resulting binary is a bit-for-bit match of the developer released binary, then you know that either there is no future-activation code o

The text on the page says that, but I had no problem using a 29 character password. I was upgrading from one with 23 characters though, maybe they grandfathered me in?

Ebay claims that 20 characters is the max, but it's a lie - mine is 29. Likewise, Newegg claims that you have to have special characters, but my password has none. I'd suggest trying the password you want and seeing if it gets rej
