  1. Re:What the article says on Developer Argues For 'Forgotten Code Constructs' Like GOTO and Eval (techbeacon.com) · · Score: 1

    Recursion is obviously the best understood of the 4. It is easily provable that there exists recursive algorithms which are both important and are not implementable as loops.

    Can you please provide a proof for this?

  2. Why would you release an exclusive that hits 13% of the market when you could reach 99%+ of the market?!

    Because Apple pays X million USD out of the PR/battle budget for this.

    It seems like it's all about the Javascript popup setting. It only works if the setting for popups is 'Allow'. I use 'Smart'. If 'Ask' is used you can easily spot this scam attempt.

    It works for me in Safari and Mozilla. I've tried for 20 minutes to get it to work in Konqueror (3.3.1) but I just can't.

    Can you tell me exactly how you did it?

  15. Re:Crypto on IETF Publishes Jabber/XMPP RFCs · · Score: 1

    I predict that in a few years, certificates will be more spread. I have a couple of certificates already, from various banks. Though none are usable for me (they are in a non-standard format). Hopefully this will change.

    I have read both JEP-027 and rfc3923, and you have right when you say it's harder for a developer (I'm one too..).
    But in the long run I think s/mime is better. (smart card readers, certificate tied to real persons...)

    But there's nothing that says we can't use both pgp and s/mime?
    I'm actually considering to write a plugin for a friends IM-client to support JEP-027. At the moment we have to use ICQ :(

  17. Re:Crypto on IETF Publishes Jabber/XMPP RFCs · · Score: 1

    I would say it's a good thing.

    PGP is dying.. (not to sound like the FreeBSD is dying troll though.. ;).
    Have you heard about any PGP advancements during the last years?
    Have a look at the S/MIME Working groups homepage..

    The negative side of S/MIME is that it's so damn hard to get a certificate.. (that will hopefully change soon)

    -K

    PS.
    JEP-027 is about OpenPGP, though the only clients that follows it that I'm aware of is PSI and Kopete.

    It would have to be a VERY distant target..

    The laser light will reach it's destination in ~50s. The plane has then moved ~1cm.

    1. Backup.

    2. Sad but true, but as always, keep your system updated. Enforce strong user passwords.

    3. Hopefully enough people do.

    4. I run Slackware and keep it updated with swaret. All packages are pgp-signed by Patrick Volkerding.

    5. See point 4.

    Linux can be made more secure than d0ze--but don't delude yourself, or others.

    Good point...
