Ask your dean to set a policy. It is far far better that there be some consistency between professors than that you have the perfect balance of allowing/forbidding electronic helpers.
The argument for storing important stuff in cookies is to save the time and other expenses of a database or key-value store lookup of a session id on every request.
Given secure encryption, it's a reasonable choice; the only good argument against it is that the encryption might not be as secure as you think...
Not quite. True, he was simply not trying. Maybe he had other things going on in his life, maybe it just wasn't that important to him. But, after years (and the number "3" seems to use some interesting date math), he found an easy solution, one that was within his desired effort level. It worked, and he blogged about that. If he did so thinking there would be others in the same boat who would appreciate it, he's probably right. And that is the end of the story.
No, it actually happens in the wild (see the post ^ that had BS claimed on it) typically when parsing a string up into many substrings where the boundaries aren't specified in such a way that backtracking is prevented.

This research is being heavily underwritten by the Ministry of Truth, which expects to greatly enhance the efficiency of its operations.
You don't "end" a patent threat by settling. Ever.
I liked the original title better.
Wow. I posted one sentence and you didn't even read it. Wow.
Dealing with cyber attacks that are not a national security issue would be the job of police agencies.
Yes, you can now be touched by the noodly appendages.
I understand the resources that will be devoted to that task. I'm not optimistic about our chances for continuing privacy.
These quantum computing fanatics don't seem to realize they are going to destroy the whole world when all existing encryption systems can be broken.
Or POD.
Unfortunately, the reviewer AFAICT didn't read more than a few pages of the book, so the review isn't a good basis for assigning a crackpot index.
Real nerds use wc

xAMP? x stands for Linux or GNU/Linux depending on which side of the fight you are on?
I would love to see stories like this publishing a full list of the providers who didn't take down a server.
Buy enough U.S. Congress votes to legislatively do away with software patents here. Hey, I can dream...
I just submit things to my teddy bear. That works, too.
That guy was simply not trying. End of story.

Perl regexs are not "by definition" regular expressions, and are not handled by a DFA. By choice, not out of ignorance.
The point is that it doesn't scale linearly. 1000 is much worse, and 10000 much worse than that.
Yes, any particular case *could* be "fixed" in the regex engine, but there will always be one more possible pathological regex.
Pet peeve: use strict, but not warnings enabled. Yes, strict is really important; BUT WARNINGS ARE MUCH MORE SO.
Nope, no BS. Compare perl -we'("a" x 10) =~ /(a*)(a*)(a*)(a*)(a*)(?i:b)/'
and
perl -we'("a" x 100) =~ /(a*)(a*)(a*)(a*)(a*)(?i:b)/'
Gah. I read "My work's Verizon USB 3G dongle installed Windows 7 on my laptop automatically" and thought, now that's an aggressive IT department.
OK, how long have you been waiting for the perfect opportunity to use the phrase "kitten-rapist"? Enquiring minds want to know.
