Did you find or compose any kind of build instructions?

Thanks. English is not my first language and I never heard it with the H dropped before, so I was afraid I was just chronically exposed to an error and copied it.

Don't you also pronounce the "h" in hotel? I always say (and write) "a hotel" instead of "an otel".

Since it's a prototype, I don't think costs (in the range of 64*$1.2) are any kind of problem.

I have a Netflix US account (over VPN, since I live outside the US), and after all the coverage it had gotten, I was really disappointed with the catalog. A lot of the shows my girlfriend was hoping to watch are unavailable, and the movie c

I agree, though Firefox's awesomebar (if it's still called that) already integrates search, and seems to autocomplete to things I've never visited with suggested search queries. This might be related to my use of the DuckDuck

This is the first I hear of these Sim900 boards. Are there any other boards like it? Possibly 3G compatible models or slimmer versions with just soldering leads instead of jacks? I guess you could easily remove the jacks anyway if you neede

I have to agree that the sentiment seems strange to me. All my employers have had multiple receptions, celebratory drinks or lunches where alcohol was served and consumed. No one ever got drunk or misbehaved because of it. People are smart

Your argument makes sense. The problem is that the funds raised for research have no incentive to solve those issues.

You say this as if rejuvenation would be a good thing. Rejuvenation would further divide the poor from the rich, as the poor are unable to afford such treatment. Wealthy dynasties would continue to acquire wealth (because wealth builds more

My previous employer was switching from just using shared folders and manual versioning (which worked, was accessible, and we had great search tools for it) to sharepoint. Despite almost the entire development floor complaining and objectin

It was certainly not created for server virtualization, though that may be the primary use with present-day Qemu. I mostly use Qemu for cross-architecture emulation, where the convenience to simulate certain embedded architectures and devic

Guarding against side-channel attacks in any language is hard. Guarding against them in Javascript is probably impossible. Whether you would take Javascript over C is irrelevant. It would still be a terrible choice for a security framework.

by sspiff 13y ago
JavaScript would be terrible, because it's easy to hide unwanted behaviour in counter-intuitive corners of the language. Besides the language peculiarities, a garbage collected or interpreted language is very vulnerable to side channel

The bug has "only" been present for 3 years. I think no enterprise appliance new enough to ship with an affected OpenSSL version is old enough to be EoL.

Machine level languages like C and C++ aren't necessarily bad tools, even in their current states. However, I agree that they might be bad tools for the purpose of writing security libraries.

It's important to note that this is not just a Facebook problem - though Facebook may have the largest install base of affected applications. Many applications on Google Play ask for excessive rights - I always presumed this was being

Their claimed storage is correct. "Real gigabytes" are what disk manufacturers, and Linux, and others report. Microsoft calculates gibibytes (GiB, 2^9) but has always labeled them as gigabytes (GB, 10^3), which is what perpetuates

I feel like your comparison of sexual orientation to ethnicity is a bit of a stretch. Marriage is something a lot of people have strong and (from my point of view) old-fashioned opinions on. The fact that he feel marriage is a bond between

I agree that people shouldn't be protected from the consequences of what they say or do, and I don't agree with Eich's point of view. However, I feel like the reaction to his becoming CEO and trying to get him to step down we

The front page and demo's seem to be all about interactive on-screen books. Does GitBook also do things like pretty PDF export? (Converting the HTML to PDF does NOT count!)

I was wondering "What the hell is SD?" as well, though the user profile page does make it clear. Still, could have saved many of us a click and some parsing time to just write San Diego in full. Being a European on the Internet is

I find the revival of interest in his political donation since his rise to become CEO a little ridiculous. When I first found out, I was shocked and maybe even a little upset. But I don't see him using Mozilla to advocate his own polit

Exactly. We've known that WPA2-PSK was vulnerable to dictionary attacks since before it was even popular. Also, a ~700k password dictionary is not what I would describe as "very big". This still won't crack my wireless,

Are you suggesting this is a good custom and should be practised?

What would be the point, other than nailing that person to a post and having them exposed to various forms of Internet abuse? As you said yourself, this is just the final straw.

Personal unions were not considered to be the same entity unless one was eventually absorbed into the other (like with Castille and Aragon becoming Spain). They didn't even have the same governments, and laws and citizenship were disti

Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but I agree. Some people feel these things are useful, as damaging as they are to the vast majority of those involved.
