  1. Re:Is it just me, or is this just insane? on Heartbleed Used To Bypass 2-Factor Authentication, Hijack User Sessions · · Score: 1

    "intentionally-vulnerable" in your quote referrs to the intentions of Cloudflare in installing Nginx on top of a vulnerable Openssl installation.

  2. Re:Ca subject name? on Another Dutch CA Hacked · · Score: 1

    Thanks!

    No, I just scanned through it looking for hints on what the ca subject might be. Now I have however and I have to admit it still isn't clear to me from the article that this is not a common ca or whatever we should call them.

  3. Re:Ca subject name? on Another Dutch CA Hacked · · Score: 1

    I can't find any certificate that looks like this on Centos 6 either.

  4. Re:Ca subject name? on Another Dutch CA Hacked · · Score: 1

    Just asked a collegue to check his windows machine for any ca certificates named anything with Gemnet or KPN, no matches there either.

  5. Re:Ca subject name? on Another Dutch CA Hacked · · Score: 2

    Ok, so this Ca is already not included in Debian?

    I can't find anything about it in the changelog for the ca-certificates package.

  6. Ca subject name? on Another Dutch CA Hacked · · Score: 4, Interesting

    So the first question I expected t.f.a. to answer:

    What is the subject name of this Ca so I can remove it from my list of "trusted" Cas?

  7. Great for clean rooms i guess... on Student Designs Cardboard Computer Case · · Score: 1

    ... anywhere else that thing is going to collect colossal amounts of dust.

  8. Re:Fresh, juicy DeCSS propaganda.... on Slashback: Taxes, Fraudulence, Woodland Creatures · · Score: 1

    This analogy reminds me of _Foundation_ by Isaac Asimov: "It's a poor laser blaster that doesn't work both ways." -- Salvor Hardin

  9. what about copyright on Bruce Perens Discusses Lawsuit Against Corel (UPDATED) · · Score: 1

    Are minors required to follow copyright law? If I've understood this correctly the GPL gives you more rights than copyright law. So if you are a minor and don't want to agree to the GPL you instead have to follow (c)-law which is more restrictive.

  10. Noiselevel on "Fastest PC in the World" Runs Athlon at 800MHz · · Score: 1

    Does anyone own one of these beasts? I'm very interested in heering about the noiselevel of the compressor. I sleep in the same room as my computer (No I don't put it to sleep at night;) so this matters a great deal to me.

  11. network block device on Ask Slashdot: Distributed Filesystems for Linux? · · Score: 1

    How about exporting your available partitions as network block devices, mounting them on one of your machines, putting software RAID-0 on them and creating your filesystem on the resulting device.

    I haven't tried any of this, so it may very well be crazy.

  12. Units on 1.6 GHz Alpha With Transputer Features Coming? · · Score: 1

    Ummm, that's 1.6GHz, 800MHz and 10GB/s.
    Agreed though, what specs!

  13. Wintendo keys on Changing the Keyboard · · Score: 1

    What's this idea about the wintendo keys beeing useless?
    i've mapped a lot of letters + win to do windowmanager functions for
    for me -- win-x maximizes, win-z minimises, win-tab switches etc.
    This leaves any control and meta/alt combinations free for
    applications to use. Also win-q is easier to press than alt-f4.

  14. Re:Money-making on A Brief History of Squirt Gun Technology · · Score: 1

    In Sweden there was a water gun that was banned for shooting too far; Some child had shot on a high voltage powerline...

  15. International Standards Day on French revolt against Prime Meridian-Sort Of · · Score: 1

    How apropriate for this to happen on the international standards day - 1 July, except for in France where it is on 25 February, England 5 May and U.S.A 17 October.

  16. Re:Old Technology on Nick Petrely responds to Metcalfe · · Score: 1

    What comes to my mind is "Proven or dependable technology".

    There are others who have already suggested;
    "Mature technology"
    "Dependable technology"
    "Productive technology"
    "Legacy technology"

    Personally I think "Legacy technology" sounds best..

  17. Keyboard on HP Announces Linux High-End Workstations · · Score: 1

    On this page: http://www.hp.co m/visualize/products/plclass/tech_specs/index.html it says that these machines have
    an "HP Multifunction Ergonomic Keyboard with programmable application shortcuts".

    Now I have a keyboard just like that. (It came with an hp brio.) It's really neat, it has ten extra buttons plus volume mute/inc/dec (that's three more), but I haven't gotten them to do anything besides giving error messages to the log.

    Does anyone know where I can get the program they use to support them? Does it handle that cute little fourth LED that's supposed to indicate new mail?
    Please let me know!

  18. What about CDIndex? on Freecddb.org is up and Running · · Score: 1

    If I recall correctly CDIndex uses a different
    algorithm for calculating the (hopefully (not!))
    unique DiscID. Supposedly CDIndex's method is
    better -- less lossy. This would make a proxy
    virtually impossible to create.

    So why do I say not in the above paragraph?
    Well I've got some Kraftwerk CD's in both
    german and english. These have exactly the same
    track layout, giving them identical discids.
    I'd like an algorithm that also samples a few
    msec's of audio in certain places, to prevent
    this.
