It sounds like they're intentionally doing this, to create a problem for people migrating away from their service. Apple: Broken by design, broken at inception.

I fully intend on cheating, and it will be amazing! 1) Free to play. 2) Free accounts. 3) Free access to the source code. This will end magnificently =)

Well, why not both? -Python has a lot of very good and relatively simple APIs that are easy to get started with. -Python allows you to write with little concern for memory management -Python allows for (nearly) type-free interaction. -C all

I'm sure they have all the best intentions for sharing the wisdom they learn here. But right now OpenSSL is a VERY VERY messy and dangerous library. The OpenBSD devs need to get a working implementation, that catches up on 15 years of

You may need a few compiler flags turned off to compile OpenSSL ;) That said, many opensource projects ignore the vast majority of compilation warnings. Many projects do the same.

I second this point. The keyword here is "modern" C++, which encourages people to write shared-memory symantics, and to create strategies that make it impossible to screw up. "New" is a thing of the past, along with the

If the messenger encryption doesn't feature end-to-end PKI, or at the very least some form of session-based cipher that is not sharing any private keys with yahoo's network, it's ultimately ineffective. If I may, yahoo -- Les

I'm actually really offended by this... as a programmer, simply because it's imposing so much on me when I already support their conclusion. I just think okcupid is taking this too far. The Firefox browser is not inherently evil

I hope this develops sanely. There has been a lot of emphasis on the conflict over the personal beliefs of the CEO, but I think this article was correct to point out that some of the resignations were over desire to appoint a more product-

I want to make this very clear: Dual-booting with UEFI is entirely possible, provided that your hardware allows entering EFI vars manually, in a SIGNED OS ENVIRONMENT. Every comment I've seen thus far doesn't seem to grasp that t

Oh well in that case it's all in good fun. I didn't mean anything by it - only an industry observation. Happy to play along :)

What are you doing to prevent government tampering, MITM attacks, or other dangers? You seem to have put a lot of thought into the security of the implementation, though it might help you spread it to the do-it-yourself-er culture if you e

If you're passing off Gentoo based on the presence of 'apt-get', you might be failing to understand the point of Gentoo =) Gentoo uses something called 'portage' -- It's for building everything from source. Th

1. Prenup or common-law (in some countries/states) can be a FAR safer contract and generally far more fair and ethical to both parties. Any person, be it man or woman, should seriously screw off if they can't respect you enough th

Public ridicule is sometimes a good tool to move people into action. Sometime not the best approach, but, it's funny for those who dedicate their lives to doing this kind of work. In the security community there's a pretty deep-r

Agreed, I'm pretty sure those fall under civil court?

I'm sorry but I don't think this argument holds any water. Not once has there ever been a single organization that writes software where the product automatically becomes more secure by virtue of it being 'closed source'

This scares me a bit because of what they're doing to essentially drop dependency information that's preserved in normal git commit order. If you ignore commit order, individual lines have no way of really conveying what they&#x27

I'd be curious to see for what price something of equal value goes for, versus something of equal spending.

“Nobody knows who he is. Even at this hour we still don’t have his name,” Hlungwane said. ^^ This sounds like something that Mr. Bean would do! Would love to find out what his motivation was!

This sounds like a combination of a browser exploit and probably some basic HID driver interaction. The yahoo email account was the opportunity -- so they either MITM'd the session, used some kind of client/server injection, or --

Keep in mind that we saw similar advertising from 1997 - 2002. It's designed to create controversy, by filling the minds of potential customers with thoughts of becoming something greater than they are, and leaves the question open-end

More like "Apple markets on website by appealing to public figure". I don't see how this is relevant? Can we link to the public figure rather than apple? :/
