Contrary to popular belief, the wireless media is not unlimited. If every other device mess with wifi frequencies (or close enough to them), it will cause issue. It's the same thing that happen in dense apartment buildings where everyone get his own wireless access point (everyone get crappy wifi).
If my memory's correct, one of the issue was that the car needed to have a certain minimal acceleration that couldn't be delivered by an electric engine, with all the weight it would have to pull. If I'm right, and the requirements didn't change, well...
My guess it that they were doing a "two birds with one stone" strategy - using this project as an excuse (and test-case) for the translation layer, hoping that some devs would take this opportunity to port their DX9 games to Linux because of it, thereby improving the value of SteamOS.
Another option is that they didn't write DOTA2 from scratch, but reused an existing engine. Which in turn was based on some previous works, and at some point Direct3D was used, and remained there the whole time.
No, you have one flag. This is not a "DNS entry present == cheater" system; it just acted as a confirmation when the hack itself was detected. Don't use boom as a shortcut.
Well then if you do this for valve games, you just don't do it on VAC-enabled servers...
A good question would be "is VAC running all the time, or only on a VAC-enabled game"...
Well, some shell does. They have had the ability to extend auto-completion for some time. Not to say that it's not needed (I'm part of the peoples that use only 3-4 git commands) but writting scripts that handle git auto completion in existing shell might be more useful in the wide than a git-centric new shell.
When you're talking about duplicate content, you can't limit yourself to "just hashes".
In this case, with pictures, just opening one and saving it again might produce a different hash, just by recompression or changing the file format. How does all these "just check the hashes" solution works for that?
Finding duplicates image is not that easy.
And even if it become really hard, you have to be pretty confident about the appeal of your website.
I can understand why they want their ads to go through, but if some webmaster take aggressive action to force the hand of the user, there's a little side effect called "not going to this site anymore" that might hurt them somehow.
Yeah, no.
Is donating a large sum of money to a charity a good thing? Of course!
And the fact that they did it to buy themselves a better public opinion doesn't make it less than a good thing, but it's certainly not helping their reputation: "hey, we screw up big time, so we douse money left and right to fix it" usually don't works by itself.
The air gap is not the solution. Proper isolation, firewalling and virus/malware is.
No. Firewalling, virus protection, malware detection... all these techniques can be flawed, either by design, because of oversight...
It is acceptable for most system (because these issues get fixed after a while), but for a SCADA system you don't want a zero-day to be exploitable *at all*. Your system can have a ton of backdoor/vulnerabilities/exploits, if it can't be reached by any other mean than physical access they are not an issue.
Only if your very confident that B will never ever get it's input from anywhere else, or that if it happen, the "anywhere else" will also properly check it's input. Oh, and you should know for sure that A will never change and suddenly spit something that B won't accept. Better document your code, and hope that the future maintainer will actually read what you wrote.
In large, long-lived project, these assumptions are all hard to make.
From what I muster, it's far from exploitable in real-life scenario. Still impressive though, and this might broaden the way peoples see side-channel attacks on general computers, and not only on specific hardware.

It's kind of funny; in the instance of a network that log connection with very few tor users, NOT using tor would have been more efficient at hiding is identity. Should have gone the easy route of seven proxies.
As for bomb threats c'mon if you manage to pull it off its funny. I remember in mid eighties when real bombs were going off in Paris, some joker phoned our school with a bomb threat. The result ? Every kid got to have an early day off. Was the guy ever catched ? Nope. You could say it was incompetence from the french cops. But who knows. It was pre internet, it was pre everything. And no surveillance society either.
Yeah, you might want to take some vacation, far away, and fast.
Because the drive itself have no concept of filesystem, and wouldn't know what some specific patterns means. A sector full of only 0xFF might mean "I don't need this anymore" as well as "this file have a sector worth of 0xFF stored there". So, no way for the drive to know where there is actual unused space.
Using trim, the FS/OS/whatever's on the line can tell the drive "ok, this part I don't need anymore, go play with it" in a non-ambiguous way.
Hotfile should just suppose that all takedown sent to them from the form might be bogus, and ask for handwritten letters to be sent to them to verify that a human was behind it.
but you don't understand, peoples *have* to use google. I've seen it, if you don't use google's services, someone come at your house, put a loaded gun on the side of your head, and whisper softly in your ear "would you kindly log yourself into our services?".
Or maybe not, my memory is fuzzy on the details.
The CNIL (a French agency checking privacy issues on internet) is almost powerless: they can barely "suggest" stuff to be done, maybe, once every new moon, even on France-only related issues. They can't propose laws or impose anything on anyone. I believe google is well aware of their power and responded adequatly:-)
Not saying that nothing should be done on the issue, but it won't work at such a small scale.

It's not like some OS have difficulties dealing with large I/O operations, freezing processes in the meantime.

If only there was some word to indicate that one missed a glaringly obvious joke in a parent post, like the sound of a gush of wind or something.
No, you have one flag. This is not a "DNS entry present == cheater" system; it just acted as a confirmation when the hack itself was detected. Don't use boom as a shortcut.
Uhh, you're contradicting yourself on point 2 and 3: the domain we're talking about didn't host anything to "visit".
Well then if you do this for valve games, you just don't do it on VAC-enabled servers...
A good question would be "is VAC running all the time, or only on a VAC-enabled game"...
If you manually visit the domain used internally by cheats for DRM checking, it's beyond curiosity.
Well, some shell does. They have had the ability to extend auto-completion for some time. Not to say that it's not needed (I'm part of the peoples that use only 3-4 git commands) but writting scripts that handle git auto completion in existing shell might be more useful in the wide than a git-centric new shell.
No, it's a DOS game.
However, DOSBox runs fine on Android. Just sayin'

I have hope that a strong enough AI will not allow this kind of censoring :)

testing (noun): the action of releasing your program in the wild and cross fingers.
