I'm far from an expert, but the wild speculation that's coming from outsiders (i.e. not scientists who published the paper) is that it could be a civalization in the process of building a Dyson sphere. I suppose if they only had a piece complete maybe we'd see something like this?
Anyway, my money would be on something much more boring, like some dark-type binary star scenario, although, I suppose they could tell if that was the case. IDK, it's interesting. Any other ideas from the astronomers on what it could be?
The Dyson Sphere is moreso a ton of individual solar panels, that partially surround and orbit a star. Completely surrounding a star is not very likely, to be far enough away to not have molten metal that was once solar panels would be a HUGE area to cover. And also, what civilization would remove the heat and light from their own sun? Their planet would die in an effort to obtain the energy. And if you say "Another sun in another solar system", well... the energy transfer I believe would take far too long to be practical.
Why would the engineers do this unless they were specifically asked? Based on prior information that it was external software, I really don't think in a company like VW an engineer could drive the software order process and requirements like this.
I said "ip or something" -- I didn't feel like typing a whole lesson on UUID generation and tracking, the point was to give an idea about identification. Also, if you're using SSL through a proxy server, why not just give up your credentials plaintext?
Also, he says it's insecure to use unencrypted on the backend? Well, since the backend servers aren't doing the handshake unless the frontend is a pure passthrough-load balancer, this makes perfect sense. Why would the worker nodes go through the process of doing their own SSL connections?
Umm... with exactly none of the information that was being dumped (looks like server headers, like $_REQUEST if php) could anything have been done.. Nobody in their right mind stores usernames/passwords in cookies, cookies are NOT secure. Usually it's a session ID, or a session object, which when combined with an ip or something provides the state of the session. Breadcrumbs, some basic user info, etc.
Yeah, nobody wants to just say 'i don't get it ' anymore. It's ten pages about how smart they are and how they're too smart to laugh at it. If you watch comedy and you don't laugh, maybe comedy isn't for you.
Oh, because every joke has to be funny or you don't get comedy?
This show is offensive to me, in that they try to portrait the various personas which make up a sterotypical "geek." The whole crap with Penny just goes further to say that someone smart or interesting in science/technology cannot interact with members of the opposite sex. Hell, one of the characters cannot speak AT ALL when a woman is present, unless he is drunk. What the fuck! This whole show's premise is to make stupid people feel like they're smart because they laugh at "smart jokes." I've watched this show with a few people, and they laugh all the time when the laugh-track plays. I ask "Why did you think that was funny", always to the same answer: "I dunno." Get this crap off TV and put Star Trek back on!
How is this anything new? Why is this news? Companies can lie? Companies can over-exaggerate claims? This is nothing new? Source: Watch ANY informercial.
He changed his name back to Prince a long time ago, assuming that was why nobody was buying his music (They wouldn't ask for a symbol at a store). Turns out the sales never recovered, so his latest theory is that babies are robbing him.
I think "slashdotting" links died 5+ years ago. There's probably more traffic from web bots scanning slashdot pages that hit the links on slashdot than real people clicking them....
While I do believe that Flash is horrible and destructive to the internet as a whole, I see this exactly for what this is: Google is closing the internet. They are closing it much like Microsoft did for many years. They marketed and waited until their browser was too much usage to ignore, and now use it to drive the direction of the web to their interest.
What happened to an open web? If people want to use technology x, they should be able to! Why does Google get to pick? What if google tomorrow decided that "Well, we found issues with other ad services, so we'll automatically block other ad services that aren't Google ad service". Oh wait, google ads are in the subset of advertising that ISN'T flash based? HOW INTERESTING... Conflict of.... something... int......
Maybe you could just do it right, and know you're doing it right, rather than flipping out with someone who disagrees? Not everybody agrees on everything, and there is no universal right or wrong.
The advantage of GPL and LGPL is that no one can make it private. Any development, any distribution, mus also provide the source - thus you benefit from anyone improvements by anyone else.
The "Any development" part is not true. Only redistributed copies. And even then, under LGPL only direct modifications -- wrappers/extensions don't apply.

They didn't pay for a windows license, so yes.

Is this ironic because it's an ad? Does your ad blocker block your comments?
Look, I get it. You're Coren22 and you want everyone to read about you. You you you. Masochist. Now get the F off my lawn and into my hosts file.
Whoops.... "we advertisers" is supposed to be "web advertisers".
BUSTED!!!!

Mine was "Puskers". Just looks like it has the middle and bottom of the letters cut off.

Your university makes them install Linux?
Kinda reminded me of Welchia from 2003. It infected computers and patched them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Fake. No way the ISP contacted you, especially back in the day before deep-packet inspection. Tell it better next time.
