Changing a certificate check in a binary is just finger exercise for anyone serious about reverse engineering. "Hard-coded" does not mean what you (seem to) think it means...

The header is blocking half the page, and the dropdown menus don't show what you can select (manufacturer, type, cc, etc.). Otherwise it's nicely done. I'm not sure whether most of these are good learners. Especially the entire armada of ba

Last time this came up on HN, it was thought to be a clang feature. Edit: While we're talking about dark corners, please stop casting functions that return void * . If your code lacks the declaration of the function, the compiler will assum

Not that I'm interested in the political process as an EU citizen (because it makes my blood boil), but how credible do you think this is? It's probably been blown out of proportion three times before even reaching the so called journalists

My conclusion: Your typical KDE user is not in the position to do the non-trivial work of porting a large C++ code base. Nor does she know where to get started. Such bloatware needs at least one dedicated and interested developer on each ta

It's interesting how many people in this thread apparently have authoritative knowledge of what others should use OpenBSD for. You are utterly wrong. I want KMS, I want to be able to install Gnome and see what they are up to. Not that I car

Given there are at least four large and distinct BSD communities, I am inclined to assume this is a rather unsubstantiated and cheap shot at "BSD".

You can usually get legal aid, but how far it goes varies on a per-country basis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_aid#Europe So yes, suing random people depends on having the financial means to stomach the losses. But in general, in th

Until you refactor some python code and the indentation gets messed up without you noticing... Been there, done that. And unlike languages with explicit begin/end markers, an editor can't re-format it or warn about it, because there is no i

http://python.org/download/ "The current production versions are Python 2.7.3 and Python 3.3.0." "Python" is widely considered to be python2, not python3 (yet). Deal with it.

"The internet" is a giant drain of time. In my final year in school, I experimented with not getting internet access and instead relied on a friend to update my Debian mirror and read mail in batches. My grades rocketed skywards without me

That's not news :) The reason these things are extremely off-road capable is so they can move around in the woods and the enemy can't take them out in a first strike attack. The retaliation capability is what creates the (desired) balance b

It's a subtle pun on the German practise of double-barrelled names that was popular a while ago. Especially amongst the more educated, when both partners wanted to keep their last name but also wanted a common name.

I think that's a bit low. According to WA 100kcal are ~120 watt hours. The real problem is of course that us programmers hang around in chairs all day and probably need about 75kcal. Slow walking may increase that by (generous) 50kcal, of w

Out of curiosity, I skipped through his talk. He says he will leave Vladivostok on a research vessel and cross the North Pacific that way. If that is not the proverbial "truck", I don't know what is. I don't blame him, but National Geograph

I was going to disagree with you, because there are obviously walkable roads in Siberia. However, the route as shown on the map goes straight through absolute no man's land. There is no road along the eastern coast. A sensible route would b

Are we talking about the same US that tried to extradite Richard O'Dwyer over some copyright bs or nutcase Gary McKinnon? Both of them are not even US citizens, it only gets worse when you "belong" to the country that wants to put you on tr

I'm one of the targets for this site, and I think it looks just fine. Works without JS, offers RSS feeds to drop into rss2email. It's pretty nice for the first version, IMO.
