Hi Jane. After some deliberation I see that you are in fact correct. I apologize for the comment, and I encourage those with mod points to downvote GPP (my post): http://slashdot.org/comments.p...
Wikipedia editors aren't allowed to "know stuff" about a topic. The No Original Research policy mandates that facts and information must be Verifiable in published Reliable Sources.
Thanks. I did untrust the obvious ones, such as the Turkish and Chinese certs, however the list is long and I'd like to tighten the security a bit. Is there any way to see which certs I've actually _used_ so that I could start making informed decisions? Take for example "Trustis Limited". On what basis would I decide to keep or leave it.
I don't mean to be a pain, but you seem to be the only person who understands this subject. Even googling the subject does not return many useful links. Thanks.
Which CAs do you leave in place? Can you mention for each of those why you leave it? I ask as a user who intends to start doing the same, and I would like to know _why_ to trust or leave in place the CAs that are left.
In comparison, shortscreen monitors (often mislabeled as widescreen) are a trend which has no logical or technical underpinning.
You are holding it wrong. No, really.
I've got a longscreen monitor (widescreen turned 90 degrees). It fits 120+ characters on a line and shows 122 lines of code plus two additional lines for the VIM status line. The other widescreen monitor is running Firefox with the tabs on the side (Tree Style Tabs) and the KDE panel on the left side of the screen, not the bottom. This is the absolute best setup that I could imagine.
Just stop wasting the vertical space and make better use of the horizontal space. I was a 4:3 holdout for the longest time, now I love the widescreens.
Sending IS back to hell with airpower is easy when they are out in the open. But once Islamic State fighters retreat to towns like Fallujah it will be very difficult to twist them out of their holes. It will require house to house fighting and the towns will be more or less destroyed in the process with great cost to any civilians in the area. If the Shiite dominated Iraq Army does it there will be all kinds of payback. But I doubt they will step up. It will be up to mostly the US with help from the UK and some token help from a few other countries.
Colin Powell was right. We broke it, we bought it.
This is exactly what happened in Gaza the past few weeks, to weed out Hamas.
Maintaining the code of others? Heck, I have found in perl, that it was easier to rewrite a program than try to debug it even if I wrote the original program.
I've often heard of Perl being referred to as a write-only language.
That list comprehension is actually very much the reason why Python is terrific. C# programmers will be familiar with the idea from Linq.
for: This is a for loop a,b,c,d: Each value of the iterator is itself composed of 4 values. In Python this is called a tuple, but you can think of it as an array if it helps. The first value is bound to a, the second to b, etc. Thus, the variables a,b,c, and d are defined in the loop body. in: The next thing mentioned is the iterator [x.q for x in y if x.z]+[x.r for x in y if x.z]: This iterator is a mess, let's look at it's parts, which are: [x.q for x in y if x.z] + [x.r for x in y if x.z]:
[x.q for x in y if x.z]: y is an iterator. Return only the q property of each item in y, only if the z property is defined. This results in a list (another Python datatype which you can think of as an array) being return, of q properties.
[x.r for x in y if x.z]: y is an iterator. Return only the r property of each item in y, only if the z property is defined. This results in a list being return, of r properties.
+: Combine the list of q properties with the list of r properties.
Like learning another (human) language, it it incomprehensible at first. However, I'm no Pythonista and even for me it was very simple to figure out what this does.
The situation is really not that simple, even if you consider non-cyborg humans. See this Stack Exchange thread on the topic: http://philosophy.stackexchang...
i'm guessing the fact that it was aquatic dissuaded the rats and ferrets. I'm not sure the size of the creature means the small parasites would ignore it, either.
I'm guessing leeches and little shrimp-like things and jesus that's disgusting. No wonder it's extinct. Good thing, too. You wouldn't want one of these wandering into your backyard to get into your garbage. It would give your dog a heart attack.
Thanks, now we know what was swimming around in the Death Star's garbage disposal. They've just unearthed a Dianoga!
How is the modability of the Kindle firmware these days? I know earlier versions are relatively tamed at this point; but any time I see 'with offers' my loathing gland swells.
I bought the B&N Nook for $99 and rooted it. Works great, I use it to study with Ankidroid.
Car dealerships should be required to keep an inventory for every model on-hand in case my car needs to go in for warranty service for an extended period.
Actually, in my country (Israel) this _is_ law. All car dealerships have associated garages that must supply seven years worth expected spare parts for all new vehicles, including non-wear parts such as body parts, and to maintain that stock. I'm not sure about how the details pan out for older vehicles, but it ensures that the company cannot just up and leave us without any parts.

Thank you for demonstrating why using something other than Skype itself is not a feasible solution for the average user.
I see, thank you.

Thank you. That seems to explain why Bjork's dress has it's own wikipedia article.
A distinction that makes no difference. It's also always locally curved, for other definitions of "locally".
How should I mod this? It deserves a downvote, but it is not overrated (rated 0), not flamebait, nor a troll. It's not even redundant.
It's just plain wrong.
I meant to attach that comment to the grandparent. The comment to which I replied was the correct one.

I think If I am a developer, I know how to update my toolset just fine
I know developers who could not install the text editor that they edit PHP with. I'm not joking, and I have to deal with them regularly.
Go google for "php prepared statements in clause" and see how the very first result is a "solution" that is vulerable to SQL injection.
What does it mean to stream an application? Data can be streamed, but an application is interactive.
Still waiting for examples of how to exploit this (remotely or otherwise), without using an existing hole to do so.
Plesk has a test.cgi file enabled by default. Here, go exploit all these hosts:

Where are the mod points when I need them. Sad day when nobody even at /. knows who Robert Zimmermann is.

Asked here about a year an a half ago:
Ask Slashdot: Linux-Friendly Motherboard Manufacturers?
That was not fair! I should have been done with my five-minute /. break an hour ago!
In other words, thank you for the Mechanical Watch link. That professor is amazing.
