  1. Re:Quality on Nginx Overtakes Microsoft As No. 2 Web Server · · Score: 5, Informative

    They're usually backend errors, nginx is often used as a reverse proxy.

  2. Re:Cost must be relative on Brits Rejecting Superfast Broadband · · Score: 1

    Move out of your town full of poor people in the middle of nowhere where ISPs won't invest in expanding infrastructure.

  3. Re:Security concerns on Pakistan Bans Encryption · · Score: 1

    You're right, of course one of the most secretive and highly funded organizations in the world would disclose their knowledge.

  4. Re:Akamai? Inktomi? on Google Announces Google CDN · · Score: 1

    Google runs hundreds of large and varied services, including their own CDN, already. I think they can handle it.

  5. Another misleading story on Slashdot... on Facebook Helps Israel Blacklist Air Travellers · · Score: 1, Funny

    The community moderation system here is a failure.

  6. Re:Commercial databases on Facebook Trapped In MySQL a 'Fate Worse Than Death' · · Score: 1

    Google also uses MySQL for a lot of things. See http://www.mysql.com/customers/view/?id=555

    "Google runs critical business systems with MySQL and InnoDB. The systems require 24x7 operation with minimal downtime. The systems support large OLTP and reporting workloads. We are very happy with the scalability, reliability and manageability of this software."

    Google and Facebook have worked on many patches and tools for MySQL, and along with work from Percona, MySQL has come a long way as an extremely fast and scalable server in the last few years.

  7. Re:Session Cookies on Researcher Hijacks LinkedIn Profiles Using Cookie · · Score: 2

    The session will still be valid on the server after the user closes their browser. There's no way for it to know when a user ends their browsing session. And someone capturing the session cookie could just use it immediately to keep the session active as well.

  8. Re:Permissions aren't 'fine grained' on Ask Slashdot: Android Security Practices? · · Score: 1

    Oh, nevermind. I forgot it uses vfat.

  9. Re:Permissions aren't 'fine grained' on Ask Slashdot: Android Security Practices? · · Score: 1

    There is a mechanism. Every app has its own UID. They can use standard UNIX permissions.

  10. Re:Install a firewall on Ask Slashdot: Android Security Practices? · · Score: 1

    Hacking voicemail systems has nothing to do will the actual mobile phone.

  11. Re:Keep Up the Pressure on Sophos Slams Facebook Security In Open Letter · · Score: 1

    Please provide an example of a link that automatically posts a status update without granting it permission to post your stream. If this were possible, it would be patched immediately by Facebook.

  12. Re:Keep the Pressure Up on Sophos Slams Facebook Security In Open Letter · · Score: 1

    When you go to these links, they ask you for authorization to post to your stream. It does not happen automatically after clicking the link. These types of apps are also already banned, of course, but Facebook is a quite slow at moderation. They do need to do a bit of work on that.
