    Unfortunately, no. It is, however, easy enough to protect with .htaccess

    This.

    Based on the dictionary they're using for this attack, all that's required to thwart it is a capital letter.

  3. Re:apple are retards on Where Will Apple Get Flash Memory Now? · · Score: 1

    I'm sure this has nothing to due with the announcement that Apple is shifting development to TSMC, instead of Samsung, for their upcoming A7.

    It'd be easier to accept your assessment of Apple's intellectual prowess if you used things like capital letters and punctuation.

    Conversely, root is not god if you have selinux switched on. Still immensely powerful, but not god.
    In many cases, however, root is all that's required to edit semanage.conf. Done like disco.

    I love how they talk about Linux but from the case statement it was clearly going after Solaris, AIX and HPUX too. If you believe the media, all of those are "Linux systems" too.

    It's already happening. Intelligent traffic systems are sniffing bluetooth MAC addresses to monitor traffic flow for light timing, etc. They say no information is retained but to do the job it has to be retained and transmitted. Just wait until it starts showing up in court proceedings.

    Bull shit. You clearly enjoy being cynical.

    Yup. Too risky, let's go back to bullets and artillery shells.

    When Dice took over, they added an option to use FB credentials during the act of creating an account. Had I known the 30 seconds of typing I was saving would forever brand me with an azure f, I'd have skipped it. It saved me time, that's all.

    You, on the other hand, won't even post the name behind your snippy comments so you're not worth 30 seconds of consideration. Seems like it's a wash.
