So YOU'RE the guy --who is running Big-Endian AMD64 !! (*cvs)
Most of what they are ripping out is archaic, un-realistic, or poor implementations platforms. You could argue that hacked-support for too many platforms is part of the reason openssl is in the position its in today - if you can't do it right (or don't have the resources to), don't do it. Name a platform other than VMS, they've ripped out and that you need : )
Anybody notice this story doesn't link to a real article, nor is Curtis Peterson mentioned once on that Forbes page linked to? Its written by a guy named "Ben Kepes", and 'Server Hugger' is only mentioned in the title, thats it.....wtf?
...and apparently no video was to be seen in my browser prior to bitching. Applying self-face-palm....

it didn't do a upgrade from 7-9 for me, it just side-by-sided anyways. uninstalled. im tired of waiting for the next vulnerability by a company who doesn't appear to care (anymore?)
If you _re-read_ his post, he is only showing evidence, and claims that Nokia NOT OPERA is a MITM. use of the word "attack" obviously doesnt apply. But it is -extremely clear that Nokia is intercepting and repackaging https traffic. Opera is not, and their privacy policy clearly states that Opera passes HTTPS untouched and only boosts -normal HTTP traffic-
I may be left wondering why you have no concern that a secure https connection you expect to a website is infact, not to that website, but is decrypted -atleast!- once, before being reencrypted to the site you expected. If you are fine with that I wonder what kind of security professional YOU may claim to be.....
He doesn't show Opera doing a MITM for HTTPS traffic. Infact, from Operas Privacy Policy regarding their boost:
Privacy in Opera Turbo
When Opera Turbo is enabled, the service will compress network traffic, thereby increasing download speed and reducing data volume. The service requests normal Web content through an Opera Software proxy server. Opera Turbo will exclude Web pages located on an intranet or by using secure connections (HTTPS). Opera collects IP addresses, usage patterns, and the point in time at which the service is used for the purpose debugging, maintenance, optimization of the service, or maintaining the customer relationship. Analysis of service usage is conducted by aggregating data, anonymizing individual identities.
this clearly states that HTTPS traffic is untouched....Compared to Nokia which is rewrapping your encrypted data. whats the point then?? I'm not connecting to https xyx, im connecting to nokia, who is then connecting to https xyx....that is so stupid. A single compromised certificate or proxy server would expose enormous amounts of data.
Nokias privacy policy makes not a mention of intercepting HTTPS traffic. Good job to Opera to following their privacy policy.
you're right, i ment to say the average being under 70, not 140. but i still often see tweets far closer to 140.
and how do you say it wont make a difference to the statistics? 140 characters, multiplied by a -potential- 2, maybe 3 bytes per character, that absolutely increases the size! they aren't magical letters. when the data is available, feel free to run stats on tweet size, i'm sure it will be boring. the conspiracy theory was a joke. point being, who cares how big it is. im pissed that they spent ANY time or money on documenting this crap : )
I agree. Its another attempt by the linux community to (read)unintentionally dilute any form of standardization or group effort, resulting in again, another fragmented culture unable to focus. Hows linux on desktop doing? Far better, but its been how long? and how many different versions of linux are there?
before i get flamed, Imagine how much could have got done if all those different developers focused on a few projects and made them awesome....(no, im definitely not talking about ubuntu, but thats another diluted conversation).
Is the average tweet under 140 characters? Many I've seen aren't. As for 500, it could easily reach that all totaled. being UTF encoded its possible for characters to be more than 1 byte each, meaning a message could easily be 4 times that size = 560 bytes. and still plus overhead, it certainly is possible. https://dev.twitter.com/docs/counting-characters
plus, what kind of consipracy theory is it that the library of congress would want to willfully deceive us about the size of a twitter archive....... : )
They use UTF-8 - assuming only ASCII characters are used, it would take 140 bytes, but UTF also has characters that are more than 1 byte. So the size could 3 times larger depending on whats typed
was that link to reinforce the comment, or counter it? looks like it was an attempt at countering....if so re-read the wiki article
SPOILER: link gives no mention of end-users being sued, only companies that failed to adhere to the terms. clarification that companies are not end-users.
Percentage of Americans with Accounts:
Twitter: 13%
Facebook: 70%
So there is FAR less diversity, and extremely poor quality data, why did they not archive public Facebook posts instead?
I see it as, facebook hosts people who write articles, stories, poems, songs, music, pictures, etc. THAT is the point of the Library of Congress: Documenting and Preserving Culture. Not trying to datamine the history behind "WAT R U DOIN FRI GRRL?",
i agree, metric makes way more sense, but i gotta say, something feels stupid about describing my height in hundreds of centimeters, instead of just 6'4". its the gap between cm, and m that bothers me, cause i have yet to see anyone use something more appropriate like decimeter.
maybe ill just take it upon myself to use the correct prefix. I am 18.7 dm tall : )
i butchered that last post, sorry, not exactly what i meant to type. I meant that at that distance, even a moderate speed is still impressive, and given the ability to track objects at >= 110 mph shouldn't be an issue in destroying anything designed to fly through the sky (usually not 1/2 steel:D )
its the distance. yes, lasers can cut 1/2 inch steel no problem, but not easily through air at that distance. they also mention shooting down drones, so id imagine that if the piece of steel were falling at a similar speed, the laser could track it with its current platform
it is infact the name of the software. and the latest is __"OS X"__
and macs do run other operating systems other than MacOS, thus not all Macs run MacOS. Read the Hardware Survey and you'll figure out that is also how they list it.
On a personal note, while extremely happy that linux is finally gaining gaming ground, it sorrows me that they decided to put emphasis on Ubuntu, given its current questionable vision

A reminder for all that although Ubuntu is the only one on the list, you can run it on other platforms.

this entire thread is an example of how much of a joke slashdot moderation has become..... who the f* are you people anyways....OFFTOPIC
re-read the post you commented on. its not 'irrational anti-apple guff'... its drawing a parallel.
:D
i always come to slashdot to when i want to read snark replies from people who didn't read the OP
