I don't know much about SHA, but I figure that if you're going to go to the trouble of setting up SSL, you may as well go for the best you can get, right?
If that's the way you feel, then yes, go for SHA-512. I think it is the heaviest NSA blessed hashing algorithm.
I've read about how SHA-1 was 'broken', but from what I can tell it still takes many hours.
Replace "hours" with "centuries". Or maybe more. Nobody has ever created a SHA-1 collision.
What is the practical risk to the real internet from this capability?
None for the near future. And CA certs expire after a year.
Would a sort of rolling key be a possible next step, where each SSL-encrypted stream has its own private/public key pair generated on the fly, and things like passwords and bank account numbers were broken up and sent in multiple streams with different private/public key pairs?
That would be ridiculous. There are valid concerns about SSL, but only regarding trusting CAs. The problem isn't the encryption itself, but the fact that you require a trusted avenue to exchange keys, and the CAs can't necessarily be trusted. The technical merits of AES and RSA and the SHA families are good.
Anti-virus is a security last resort. If you've already downloaded or executed malware, then anti-virus might prevent it from running, or might be able to remove it if it already has. But it can't detect everything. It can only detect common malware. Linux doesn't have any common malware, and I'm not sure about Mac.
There is clamav, but that's mostly detecting Windows viruses across platforms.
Actually, contrary to the summary, this article has nothing to do with code comments, and so the amount of comments per code has no effect on the results. The profanity measured in the article is from git commit messages.
Politicians are whores for corporate money. They then become johns, where they use that money to pay for advertising, rallies, and such. We are the scabies who follow around the whores and the johns. When it's all over, for some reason, the politician with the most scabies declares themselves the winner.
ClamAV is an open source anti-virus. That's a pretty big deal, considering it is the only one. Or at least, the only one that is complete and still maintained.
I tried CentOS about a year ago, and the big problem I ran into was that the OS had so few packages. I am a Debian user and I really like having over 20,000 packages in the official repositories. I rarely have to go somewhere else to download software.
Here is the contents of Apple's robots.txt file: # robots.txt for http://www.apple.com/ User-agent: * Disallow:
That means every robot is allowed to traverse the site. I checked the HTML code for the index of apple.com, which allows for less fine grained robots control, and there is no meta tag to disallow indexing, and the HTTP headers have nothing also.
It is possible that Apple gives different info, or blocks entirely, to the IA robot user agent or IP addresses.
This may be hard for some Slashdotters to understand, but some people spend hours at a time outside of their basement. When they are away from home and haven't eaten, they might buy some pizza at a pizzeria and eat it there, even if they don't like the noise. They probably wouldn't even consider bringing it home. Unless they are intending to head home immediately anyway, it is quicker, more convenient, and saves gas to eat at the pizza place.
No offense, but I find it hilarious that anybody would ask why somebody would eat their pizza in a pizzeria.
I think it's hilarious. The first thing I thought when reading the summary was, "Hey Look! They're bringing back *gate!" It's been a long time since I've seen the *gate practice. I'm hoping this time around we'll see the following:
we offer free Norton with internet service so there's no reason you can't protect yourself from some of the common threats.
You mean the common threats like Norton? The only people who should install Norton is computer experts, and the only reason they would want to is so they can figure out how to uninstall it.
Worse than spinys are the bullet bills with wings. They are just like spinys, in that you die when you jump on them. But in addition, they flash, so they are tougher to see.
The toughest part for me is when I would just spontaneously die. Maybe it was a bullet bill appearing out of nowhere, or maybe it was an invisible enemy. But that is when I stopped having fun, after about 10 minutes of playing.
I also dislike the controls. Not the button layout, I could change that easily with a new keymap or even use my gamepad with joy2key. Mario jumped shallow and fell quickly.
mobile expert Kevin Tofel found that videos were slow to load, if they loaded at all, leading to an overall very inconsistent experience while using [flash] for video.
I'm pretty sure that is exactly what "paid prioritization" means. AT&T wants to charge Netflix for prioritized packets. Unless Netflix ponies up, then AT&T will downgrade, or eliminate, Netflix traffic.
AT&T calls it paid prioritization. You call it quality of service fee (possibly tongue in cheek). I call it double dipping.
In terms of video codecs the camera supports.mov, JP4 RAW (requires post production conversion),.ogm, and JPEG sequence plus optional tags like geo information/GPS coordinates.
Last time I checked,.mov was a container, not a CODEC.
.ogm is a container too. It's made by the same company that made vorbis (audio) and theora (video).
Is your quote from the article? If so, they just don't know anything about AV.
I was surprised to discover that there were commercial systems of quantum cryptography. Quantum cryptography is academic at this point. It is not as strong as old fashioned cryptography (like AES) and is much more expensive. Then I realized that there is no reason that someone can't use both. It would be pretty ridiculous if someone were using quantum cryptography as their only security, and not encrypting the data first with old fashioned cryptography.
There are plenty of vendors there who are willing to ship individual items.

What you say sounds awesome, but it runs counter to my experiences looking for many things that I have tried to find on the internet but can only find at my local retail and grocery stores. Where can we find a $15 ladle for 50 cents? What other kind of Made in China stuff can we get? Do we have to know how to read Chinese?
I use and prefer Debian Stable, but if you place a high value on the latest packages, then Debian Stable is not for you, and never will be. I have used Debian Testing for a couple of years or so, and I have tried Ubuntu a few times, and from what I have seen, Debian Testing is slightly more up to date and more stable than Ubuntu. I agree that Debian is easier to configure.

IE6 happened because the standards weren't moving fast enough.

A little bit of research show that Internet Explorer 5 + 6 ignored the standards that had been published years before.

For those who are curious, the article is about data centers in Buffalo, New York, and not one of the other many Buffalos in the USA.
It wasn't handjobs and kittens you know.
Actually, mixing those two things together would be pretty painful.
The acid2 test has the nose of the acid face half a pixel too high.
Firefox 3 and 3.6 have the same problem. I think Firefox just isn't acid2 compliant yet.

Flash On Android Is 'Shockingly Bad'
Yeah. It's Flash. We're used to it by now.

Yep. I get that too on my desktop computer.
