  1. Re:a thought on NSA Building US's Biggest Spy Center · · Score: 2

    You don't build such a large datacenter without a good hint that it will work (out). It means they are on to something. The first question is what exactly are they after: Private keys from SSL certificates, private key of root certificate from certificate authoroties, personal private keys, ... Then the question remains: How do you keep your secret key a secret?

    Why are the USians killing their own market (again) with this protectionism? Maybe it is necessary to feel extra pain before copyright is abolished.

    For such a global statement one would require proof (because maybe your imagination is too limited, maybe not).

    You model separate cpu and memory as two processors: one with only a litte memory and a lot of processing power, the second with a lot of memory and no processing power (theoretically speaking).

    And the 7.0 commit message says something like

    ...
    if (paramHashValues.containsKey(key)) {
    values = paramHashValues.get(key);
    } else {
    values = new ArrayList(1);
    paramHashValues.put(key, values);
    }
    values.ensureCapacity(values.size() + newValues.length);
    for (String newValue : newValues) {
    values.add(newValue);
    }

    which means that if a hash-collision is detected the values are added to the valueset (instead of modifying the hash algorithm).

    The actual release note says:

    Improve performance of parameter processing for GET and POST requests. Also add an option to limit the maximum number of parameters processed per request. This defaults to 10000. Excessive parameters are ignored. Note that FailedRequestFilter can be used to reject the request if some parameters were ignored. (markt/kkolinko)

    I have it POST to a system which filters every exception to a category (with sql statements per category). Depending on the category I have a warn / alert threshold set in Munin. If a service operations issue happens (table X is marked as crashed) I notice in 5 minutes, PEBKACs have a high threshold. I know it before they call.
