  2. Android on Linux Has a USB Driver Security Problem (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    So, i guess it affects android too..

    Oh, i see your phone is low on battery, here - have a charger

  3. Re:Mostly PR gimmick. on How Cloudflare Uses Lava Lamps To Encrypt the Internet (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    That would also be more secure, as it can't be observed and intercepted.
    There have been several cases when flaw found in PRNG affects the security of resulting cryptographic key.
    If you want secure key, you need secret random seed, not one that can be publicly observed and replayed/repeated

  4. I'm sure outsourcing to India would be cheaper, perhaps even gain profits

    How about combining with L-Cysteine for anti-hangover effect?

    I have been remembering this article for long time, but it's a bit problematic to get L-Cysteine and try it out

  6. Resolution on Paul Thurrot Predicts November Debut, $500 Tag For Xbox 720 · · Score: 2

    Only 720p? My phone has 720p, I would expect at least 1080p.

    10 Megapixels is enough for my DSLR

  9. Re:Fast - good - now focus on... on Chrome 24 Released, Chrome Beta Channel For Android Added · · Score: 1

    I'm using UnloadTab for Firefox, works pretty well. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unloadtab/?src=api
    Of course hundreds of tabs for a week still requires some occasional restart (use ulimit -v in script before starting FF).

    However I dislike Chrome, because occasionally it starts hogging CPU, so I even can't move my mouse.

    How about taking engines to the asteroid and mounting them on it.

  11. Re:Prior use on ITU To Choose Emergency Line For Mobiles: 911, or 112? · · Score: 1

    In US you don't. It's common to dial US numbers prefixed with 1 without any international code.

  12. Re:WTFGA on LG Introduces Monitor With 21:9 Aspect Ratio · · Score: 1

    Just remove top bezel and add one more LCD that you can unfold (having total resolution of 1366x1536) , and it would be perfect.
    Though it would need some balancing

    It doesn't really matter if it's delayed 10 or 100 years, the difference out there will be insignificant

    Without Russian rockets it's not much of use. US already got launch facilities, but they don't have any rockets.

    Please do track to which sites you are copying my information, and also please can I see the list.
    Option to remove some information from specific site would be nice.

  16. Re:Well I certainly do on Ask Slashdot: Do You Still Need a Phone At Your Desk? · · Score: 2

    You can get redundancy.

    We do have multiple Asterisk servers on Amazon EC2, each of them can take role of another. Amazon has availablity zones, so if there is problem, it's within single zone, so it's best to have replacement in different zone.

    As for ISP - we have several, and as we can control our servers, we can just quickly reroute calls to different ISP in the same office. If all of our ISPs would give us access to switching BGP, it would be even easier.

    As our business depends on phone calls heavily, our telephony carrier has granted us use of backup gateway,where they can reroute DIDs within 30 minutes.

  17. Yes on Ask Slashdot: Do You Still Need a Phone At Your Desk? · · Score: 1

    As a VoIP engineer, I need it. In fact I need multiple phones, so I have 5 different models.

  20. Re:Bet it doesn't upload anything on Boxee TV's Unlimited Cloud-based DVR Holds Users Hostage To Monthly Fees · · Score: 1

    So they would just automatically match scenes from other recordings (and knowing which channel it was recorded helps), and keep single copy of every possible difference (ads, logo). Put all that in the nice box of interface for retrieving every individual copy and call it "compression".

  21. As often as you need on Ask Slashdot: How Often Do You Push To Production? · · Score: 1

    I work on a telephony infrastructure (voip pbx + websites), and production releases are as often as we need it.

    Even if every minute of bugs or downtime costs money in terms of disconnected customers, gain is by being able to react and fix quickly. Sometimes I do write a quick code (usually fix) on live system, of course knowing what you do and what's on the stake makes you pay attention to details, taking a look on semicolons at the end of line before hitting save.

    Also having control of replicating changes to all servers is a good tool, you can do a live test on small set of users, and if there are no errors just replicate changes to all servers.

    However normal "feature" releases are usually from couple of times per week to once per month, depending on the size of features.
    Rollbacks are always in mind, but you can't rollback everything, new call logs and recordings are created live - so either implement some backup of raw data and be prepared to manually fix broken parts later or you may just loose something important.

  22. Re:CA on IETF Starts Work On Next-Generation HTTP Standards · · Score: 2

    You're getting redundant. How can you secure and verify HSTS origin (to transfer info about allowed CA), if you don't know with whom you established HSTS (there is no authority that has signed it).

    Current CA scheme works as it is, because CA information is included in browser, and in order to replace that, there has to be other means to transfer authority information (DNSSEC could theoretically be usable)

    So, you could actually create signalling protocol based on ring times and pauses between them. Just install an app, and you have slow but totally free messaging service.
