    There is a reason for a yearly "International Obfuscated C Code Contest" ;-)

    Then rewrite OpenSSL. I'll be glad to use (for free) the Perfect Software you would have dedicated you life to write

    Navy destroyers are on their way and all the navy seals are already in route. Drones keeps patrolling the perimeters. Just as a back up, President Obama is ready during the operation to launch nukes to counter the threat.

  4. Re:Well, his software career's ruined on Heartbleed Coder: Bug In OpenSSL Was an Honest Mistake · · Score: 1

    These kind of mistake are done everyday by pretty much every programmer. Nobody test 100% of the assertions made in their code, or are aware of ALL the subtle way bugs can happen.

  5. Re:ya ya.. on Heartbleed Coder: Bug In OpenSSL Was an Honest Mistake · · Score: 1

    then you would trip on something you were not testing. There is a reason free software is pretty much free, it is imperfect. If you want perfect software, go in the aviation industry, where you might still end up with... http://www.cas.mcmaster.ca/~ba...

    The remaining 97.5W are just sunk through subspace :-)

  10. Re:Reversible on USB Reversable Cable Images Emerge · · Score: 0

    Please find any English dictionary with the "reversable" word listed. We'll be able to have a discussion after that.

  11. Voltage != Power on USB Reversable Cable Images Emerge · · Score: 4, Informative

    I don't want to sneak peak, but "5 volt power transfer rate" makes strictly NO SENSE. The "volt" is not a unit of power...

    Damn incompetent journalists ...

  12. Re:Im all for human rights... on OKCupid Warns Off Mozilla Firefox Users Over Gay Rights · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Religious belief is one thing, forcing that belief upon other by supporting (or not) a policy change that would ostracize a non trivial part of the population is another.

  13. Re:Dual interface ? on Intel Upgrades MinnowBoard: Baytrail CPU, Nearly Halves Price To $99 · · Score: 1

    I'd rather avoid microtik MIPS boards. They might be great to route traffic, but they are too much under powered for the use I would have. My requirement is at least dual core +1GHZ CPU with at least 1GB of memory and possibility to attach storage

  14. Re:Dual interface ? on Intel Upgrades MinnowBoard: Baytrail CPU, Nearly Halves Price To $99 · · Score: 1

    I thought about that, but an external USB network adapter is a hassle, especially prone to connection issue. I'd prefer something wired in (even if it is on a USB bus).

  15. Dual interface ? on Intel Upgrades MinnowBoard: Baytrail CPU, Nearly Halves Price To $99 · · Score: 1

    All these SBC are nice, but I would really love one with two network interface. So far, my quest has not been successful. I'm not looking to route 1Gbps, but "normar" traffic. I know of the soekris & alix, but I would prefer an ARM based model. I was hoping to find an expansion board that would do the job, but still no luck.

    Does anyone know any which would do the job ?

  16. New expansion slot. on Intel Upgrades MinnowBoard: Baytrail CPU, Nearly Halves Price To $99 · · Score: 2

    From the article, it would seem the new board has a new expansion slot (two actually). I already cannot find any usable expansion card from the v1, it will certainly not help for the v2... By the same logic, in a year, the v3 will have yet-another expansion slot format which is mandates new schematics.

    I miss standard expansion capabilities...

  17. Re:what? on U.S. Court: Chinese Search Engine's Censorship Is 'Free Speech' · · Score: 1

    Google conform to the local legislation where they have interest to. It is a purely greedy move. China is a 1.5 billion potential market, they will do whatever they can to have a foot in there.

    I'm not an hypocrite, and I will tell you why.

    I am a dirty lazy bastard who steal, lie, and cheat. I am responsible for the depletion of earth's natural resource, exploitation of third world countries and the misery of a lot of human being, but you know what ? Not only it feels good, but I sure don't want to lose any of this, and above all, I am no different than 850 millions people in the EU and US.

    thanks to discredit yourself with more emotional arguments.

  22. Re:A perfect example of why Unions are required on Silicon Valley Anti-Poaching Cartel Went Beyond a Few Tech Firms · · Score: 1

    The government leaders are AMONG the 1% you are trying to fight, just like unions are just a mean for their leader to get their share... The only thing you are doing by asking for more regulations is to preserve the system in place. The more regulation there is, the easier it gets to keep people under control.

    What is wrong which that ? You are currently asking the government to step in because you failed to gather enough momentum to unionize.

    I don't see how, but that often the case when people go emotional... Maybe you can do better and have a logical reasoning on all this ? Btw, yes, I do appreciate Ayn Rand more than appreciate Marx or Kant.
