>it was just a few years back when we though 128bit keys were unbreakably long. Now 2048bit is standard
No one *ever* thought 128 bit asymmetric keys were relatively secure, and no one would consider 2048 bit symmetric keys to now be standard. You compared symmetric key lengths to assymmetric key lengths. Really.

How many single mothers? How many people from poor families? How many, say, don't have enough money to own a home? But don't mind me; continue bragging about your unrepresentative democracy.
Since your comment is still rated as insightful, I'll jump on the "you're full of crap" bandwagon; hopefully someone will correct your moderation. I had cable internet in Germany in 2006 and 2007. I had slightly higher speed compared to what I have now in the US for slightly less cost (even after converting currencies), and I had no bandwidth cap.
Yes. Unlike Firefox, it's built-in. If you want to devise your own method, you could use the built-in GreaseMonkey work-alike (I'm not sure whether GM or Opera's UserJS came first) to implement it.
It depends on the nature of the ruler. We're not talking about SR and inertial reference frames here; in GR and non-intertial reference frames, one *can* determine the nature of the space-time rotation without stepping outside the FoR.
Does that apply if the customer only leases the cable box?
That's an interesting question. I suppose it hinges on the legal definition of the word "possesses".
does that mean that if I let other people use my linux based computer, I'm obligated to let them know it uses linux and that they can get the source code from me?
You have not distributed anything, so the terms of the GPL do not apply.
Don't know how to respond to the President's video with your question? Check out this tutorial from YouTube about how to create your own and add it as a response.
If you are a Twitter user, you can also ask your question with this hashtag: #WHHCQ or head to Facebook and ask your question there.
If I were the staff member in charge of wading through the discussion, I wouldn't want to have to use Youtube's craptastic comment system either.
One of my main goals in this design is to limit broadcasts outside of each subnet, and ip helper obviously punches a hole in that philosophy.
ip helper doesn't forward as broadcasts. When the router on the host's segment detects the broadcast DHCP request, it forwards it directly to the next hop (just like any router does with a non-broadcast packet).
This is definitely the way to go. If for some reason you cannot do this (as was once the case for me*), you can set up a PC on the network segment to act as a DHCP relay (the ISC DHCP distribution comes with a relay agent). On a network where we had more control, we set up a tunnel between the routers to forward the DHCP packets.
* The network involved military encryption devices which could not be configured to forward broadcast packets. I put together a Linux system that booted from a floppy, used arping to figure out the IP address of the router (to determine which network segment it was on), read a config file from the floppy that contained the segment-specific settings, and started the dhcrelay process. Since the system ran entirely from a ramdisk, the security office allowed us to leave it on even when the area was secured.
You obviously didn't bother to look at the spec at all. The DOM for all media elements (which includes video elements) allows you to specify a callback function to execute at certain timestamps.
(You can also just read the current playback position, eg from a timer callback, but that only provides 1-second precision.)
That wasn't a controlled study. "Correlation isn't causation" indeed, but in this case they aren't even in the same building.
A more reasonable interpretation of the data is that, "Fat people try to lose weight (eg, by drinking diet soda), whereas non-fat people generally don't." But that's boring and obvious.
> Security is a much technical implementation as it is smart design, and this choice by Microsoft is not smart security design.
The article and all the discussion I've read so far completely misses the boat. The poor design choice was in having a friggin *filename* determine whether a file was executable or not. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever that some random file downloaded from the Internet or found on a thumb drive should be allowed to execute without the user going through a very explicit hoop (eg, right-click, properties, permissions, check the "execute" box).
Because I did not do so while exerting my influence over a community project. We are mostly-anonymous users engaged in discussion about a topic over which we have no control and in which we are not the actors. Drepper, on the other hand, was acting as a central point of authority over a major free software project; the standards of behavior are higher. It's not a "him vs me" thing; it's a "that situation versus this situation" thing. If I had made that kind of comment on the bug tracker for the free software project *I* maintain, I would be just as much of an asshole as he is.
Frankly, I found your comment to be utterly counterproductive. There is a sadistic streak in geek culture which wallows in schadenfreude when a person of technical prowess insults and degrades another who is perceived to be his lesser. This is no more civilized than the schoolhall bully who shoves his physically weaker classmate into a locker or any other of the "typical" behaviors observable in maintstream culture. Your dismissal of it as "boys will be boys" only serves to mistakenly justify it in the minds of miscreants.
Anyone who spends $1000/month on car payments+insurance is either an idiot or a danger to others. Either way, I'm glad you're off the road.
Let's see... I'll generously give you gas at its peak of $4/gal and figure an average of 20mpg for your vehicle. That's 65 miles per day, seven days a week. That's what, 3-4 hours biking per day? That doesn't sound likely to me, but not out of the realm of possibility.

"Nazi" not so much:
your parent's complaint's correct.
You forfeit your card!

Except that according to GR, the pebble actually is a different length at the top of Mount Everest than it is at sea level.

It is your regulation, Sire. No ballet in your opera.
A quintessential non sequitur.
My, you have a dark sense of humor.

Hopefully, you'll effect a change in his future posts.

Try building something on your property that doesn't in any way affect your neighbors' property. Go on, I'm waiting.
Let me guess: you're an American.

Uh, I was making a joke. That's what the winking smiley thingy means.
You asshole. ;-)
