  1. Re:Wait a minute on Many Popular Windows Apps Ignore Security Options · · Score: 1

    That doesn't mean they can't give strong hints to the developers. For example, at least Microsoft's compilers should give deprecation warnings stating that the developer should conform to DEP and ASLR technologies and that compilation support for such stone-age applications will run out at a certain version/point of time. Library functions become deprecated, why shouldn't entire programs be affected of the same?

  2. Re:Another useful statistic... on In UK, Computer Science Graduates the Least Employable · · Score: 3, Insightful

    To be honest, a CS degree is nice and all, but personally I think, having proper, real life experience just also means more. CS needs to be rethought anyway.

  3. Re:WTF? Why can't I use the Phoenix Down on Aeirit on How Game Gimmicks Break Immersion · · Score: 1

    The solution to that is just having a minimal story, like NetHack does. You simply have a story outline and you're free to make up more parts yourself through conducts or similar things.

  4. One issue on 22 Million SSL Certificates In Use Are Invalid · · Score: 1

    CAs actually hand out certificates to anyone who happens to have too much cash in their hands, the bigger, the more probable. IMO, each country should have a local CA that are viewed as trusted and sign only certs of local businesses/private people. The government probably knows most about you and your trustworthiness.

  5. Re:+1 Insightful on Best Browser For Using Complex Web Applications? · · Score: 1

    Who needs circular wheels when you can have Internet connectivity with the vendor spying on motion activity? What would the world be without data protection freaks shouting at the vendor for taking note of ridiculously useless data, while the power bill required for that whole business is entirely neglected?

    So much about computers being bad for your health by design.

  7. Re:Let me get this straight on Official Kanji Count Increasing Due To Electronics · · Score: 1

    In fact, the Greek actually gave some credit to the Phoenician alphabet. Before they've had graphein [transliterated], they used to phoinizein [transliterated], "to do what a Phoenician does" and was just lost later on. You can't be that hard on them.
