Actually that won't work since Google is enabling forward secrecy Knowing the key will not be enough. The NSA would need to have an actual proxy server between you and Google to monitor the traffic.
I can't take it. I was just going to mod you down for the bad c99 syntax but I'll correct it instead.
First, it's bool not BOOL (no caps). Second, returning into a function returning bool is just redundant since you could save yourself having to include stdbool.h and just return int instead.
The whole point of GPL is that it's a bargain, you get the code and you share the improvements if you distribute the result. That bargain is not being met if they refuse to release the source code and that's my whole point. We have companies who think the device driver they add is somehow worth more than the rest of the project and so they shouldn't have to follow the rules.
They didn't adopt the GPL they borrowed code that was GPL so they had to do less work rather than spend tends of thousands of dollars doing the work themselves. It's not the first time I've heard of a company thinking their added code totaling a fraction of a percent of the project is somehow worth more than the rest. It's also not the firs time I've seen willful ignorance on behalf of a device maker.
I few years back I was sourcing some kit for an ISP and discovered the ADSL modems were based on Linux + BusyBox. I asked the manufacturer if I could have the source so we could try some local modifications only to be told "the chipset maker doesn't supply that" and I would have to talk to them (in China) about it. I argued the point but they refused to accept that they had a legal obligation. Fortunately about a year later they entered into a settlement with the gpl-violations.org but by then I was no longer working for that ISP.
The problem with the way you phrase that is you have no category for genres that have been dropped. These days everything has been pretty much reduced to sports, FPS or MMORPG and if you don't like any of those there will be fewer games to play.
It's worse when they are in charge and 10x worse when they think they know about security. Years back I was the newest hire in the office (the bottom of the chain) I had the lead software dev guy demand an ftp account for their software's update system. I set him up an anon ftp account but he demanded a regular ftp account because "anonymous FTP is insecure".
A year later after everyone was let go and I was brought back on a part time basis, I went into the system and discovered what he had done. The files were all owned by the same user as the ftp login and the username and password were embedded in the publicly downloadable software. Essentially anyone who downloaded our software and checked it's config could have arranged that any software they to be installed on all of our clients' computers.
Nothing to do with power requirements, in fact my new laptop takes a lot less power than my old one. The real reason the battery won't fit is so they can over charge you for replacement batteries.
It says a lot considering hes talking 1000 users like they should be able to handle it with no problem. A thousand concurrent users is more than I'd bet 80% of hosting providers can handle and how bad the problem is is going to depend a lot on how CPU/ database heavy the software they are running is. I've seen some software max out perfectly good machines at 256 users. What's worse, the people here who honestly seem to have correct answers are getting drowned out by a ton of idiots who think this will be an easy problem to solve.
The fix will not be to "just get a VPS server" he will need several, along with a way to keep them in sync and a means of load balancing them. Otherwise he could go with an "old fashioned" web server cluster. My worry is that the guy won't even have a way to figure out what posts know what they are talking about.

Because then some people would have to stop updating? The place I work has code dating back 10 or 11 years and the programmers already have to go through the code each update to see what got dropped and even then there will be demands for the upgrade to be rolled back or "delayed" (moved to a point in the future that never happens because they never have time for it).
It's not just in house stuff that doesn't update either, Check out large Open source projects and see how many of them generate warnings related to deprecated functions.
If you want a language that has no cruft there are languages you can switch to but not many people use them for the reasons stated a above.
There is a good chance it's more complicated than just this. Remember this is Cogent we are taking about here and they are famous for trying to get downstream isps to pay the entire cost of peering upgrades and have also been known to actively cut back on peering points with other providers.
They are also famous for causing most of the IPv6 routing problems that affect day to day useage.
The summary is a bit off. The algorithm can't actually detect child porn, what this looks like is a system similar to the one Youtube uses where one item gets reported and it's blocked globally rather than have to have someone report each instance of the same image.
This is not an "open the device and latch on to some henceforth unprotected internal signal" attack vector. Attaching the phone to someone else's charger is not unusual behavior.
It's based on a BeagleBoard, which is larger than a business card. It's going to be tough to fool people into using a charger that looks like it swallowed half your iPhone.
Sure they will. In Spain there are charging kiosks with coin slots and cables going somewhere you can't see them and people use those all of the time. You forget that in most public charging situations you don't want just anyone to be able to unplug the thing and walk away with it.
The problem is that those lists end up providing a false sense of security for the people paying for them. In reality they block most of the famous sites and only block a fraction of the other sites out there while accidentally blocking innocent sites(pretty much all of them, have a high false positive rate). The other problem is that the contents of those lists are secret and once sensors get going they simply cannot stop. Several of filters have been known to block any sites that post anything critical of their practices and even Time Magazine was once blocked in retaliation by one of the most used filters.
Well you know the old saying "Anything is easy if you don't know what you are talking about".
I have yet to see any filter that does more than block a bunch of known sites and both kids and adults have a knack for finding sites that should have been on the block list but are not.
That makes plenty of sense until you realize that device drivers that interact with the hardware are far more likely to crash than things like TCP. Hardware often has things like Direct Memory Access(DMA) to and from the device to make access more efficient and when a hardware driver crashes, a misplaced DMA setting on the hardware can scribble over any memory it wants.
Not that hard? It's amazing how many of them screw up badly.
In UPS case the damn thing can't even handle my Canadian accent. Nothing so infuriating than to have to read my number, have the IVR repeat it back to me garbled and then have to tell the damn computer it got it wrong and then have to go through the process twice more before being forwarded to a support person to sort it all out. I've even tried changing my pronunciation from "Zed" to "Zee".. still no dice.
My only thought is that they either don't keep statistics on how often that happens or that the managers who make the decisions never see them.
At least they tried to help. When one of my customers stopped getting push emails on her Blackberry, I was told by Rodgers Mobility support that push email is an unsupported feature and the policy was that she could not report delivery problems to anyone.
Your lucky then, I've had two friends come back from the doctor in worse condition than they were in the first place after they got medicated. In one case my friend got better when the doctor took him back off the meds but in the other they doubled down on the meds and he ended up not being able to function on how own (or even hold a conversation) and in a group home.
I probably should have been more clear about that in my original post. Once the boss saw that he wrote more solid code, he got assigned more difficult projects than the rest of the programmers yet he still managed to keep his low bug count.

Keep in mind this fine isn't for all of that. It's just for deleting a bunch of data. There are more fines to come.

Already done.. debian-multimedia packages were signed and anything new from that domain won't be and should not install.
