The revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt taught us that when the government cuts Internet, people have to gather to exchange ideas, and that fuels the protests.
But I bet the situation in Venezuela is not comparable. The government is legitimate and won election that everyone recognized as fair. The only concern at that time was the opposition attitude, which was not obviously ready to accept the election outcome. Therefore I suspect the current protests are manipulated. Cut Internet access, and the manipulation becomes a bit harder.
If I am right, Internet restriction will not worsen the situation. If I am wrong, it will throw more and more people in the streets.
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to www.imperialviolet.org:1266. A PKCS #11 module returned CKR_DEVICE_ERROR, indicating that a problem has occurred with the token or slot. (Error code: sec_error_pkcs11_device_error)
It should not be that hard to handle the stack overflow exception in a safe way.
First make the crash reliable, either by having a read-only page at the end of the stack, or by monitoring the stack pointer on each function call if the hardware is unable to do it
Then once the process crash, detect process termination and stop the car.
When it comes to greenhouse gaz emissions, US is the worst offender. Why does he has to convince future victims that there is a problem on which they have no influence?
If I had mod points, I would rate your comment interesting, but not informative.
I know it is almost impossible to get fair coverage on Venezuela from mainstream press. Most Slashdot readers are fed by anti-Chavez propaganda, and are hence convinced Venezuela is some kind of USSR-like totalitarian regime. They forget that Chavez and Maduro won election that were recognized as fair by everyone.
News favorable to the Venezuelian government are therefore interesting because they tend to balance the bullshit we read everywhere. On the other hand, it is so hard to verify that it is almost not informative. Fortunately, there are rare news outlet that keep doing decent journalism. My favourite is Le Monde Diplomatique, and I will wait for its next issue to get some news about what is going on in Venezuela today.
The Australians have obtained nearly 1.8 million encrypted master keys, which are used to protect private communications, from the Telkomsel mobile telephone network in Indonesia
Anyone know what this is about? What are that master keys, and what protocol is using them?
As this article states (excerpt below), the gains from this particular experiment are from increasing [positive] stimulation in the math-oriented areas of the brain.
But they say simulating an area decreased performance:
When the parietal lobe of the brain was stimulated using that technique, he found that the basic arithmetic skills of doctoral students who were normally very good with numbers were reduced to a level similar to those with developmental dyscalculia.
Then how do you interpret the speeding up of the encryption project, reported by Google employees? Note that this is not client to server encryption, where nothing changed recently.
If disabling a brain area makes people better at maths, one can wonder what this area is doing? It There must be some function assoicated with it. In other word: what do we win to be bad at maths?
Unfortunately, experience shows that everywhere, stupid design decisions and crappy implementation are made. Moreover, security-aware engineers have to deal with other constraints like costs or priority, and management stupidity also plays a role. I have no problem to admit it could have happened at Google too.
Look at this diagram. [washingtonpost.com] Does it look like it was made by a professional working in the NSA or by some guy who has an understanding of SSL edge termination? It has no depth of knowledge and could easily come out of a test for your CCXX certification.
The diagram looks relevant: Google seems to have SSL-enabled front-ends that forward unencrypted requests to back-ends. But since the back-ends and the front-ends are not in the same datacenter, the traffic between them can be easily captured. This is how I understand this diagram.

At mine, the test site at https://www.imperialviolet.org:1266/ does not even load. Firefox says:

What do you suggest instead?
A good property of UI is to remain stable so that user can get used to it. It would be nice if they could stop changing stuff on every release.
Indeed! Handing a placebo instead of real alcohol!
But the same OS can run handhelds, desktop and servers. NetBSD or Linux fits all.
When it comes to greenhouse gaz emissions, US is the worst offender. Why does he has to convince future victims that there is a problem on which they have no influence?
What are the other alternatives?
Perhaps Red Flag Linux steps down because China Operating System (COS) aims to replace it?

Same nonsense, different tyrants.
EU Commission is far worse: they never ever have to cope with citizen
Thanks to Russian leaks, we already know the answer: "fuck EU"
I just wonder what ability is shut down in order to improve math skills. In other words, what it the anti-math ability?
Who paid for the defendant? Fighting in a 4 million USD suit against the US government is not trivial game.

What Google does DC to DC is probably not that naieve but sent over encrypted tunnels, so intercepting the traffic isn't that easy.
I understood they did not did it so wisely. They had a program to improve encryption, which has been sped up after NSA revelations
Does this boss asks the doctor to see him without paying if a medical treatment does not work?
In this case, the "hacked" agency was not willing to sue, because they were ashamed of having published documents by mistake.
The case happened anyway because the general attorney wanted it, despite he did not understand what it was about.
The case will now probably move to the Cour de Cassation or the Conseil d'Etat, which are both french supreme courts.
