  1. Re:Malware on site on ISRO Launches Six Singaporean Satellites (thehindu.com) · · Score: 2
    Sadly, I can't figure out how to report this to anyone involved...
    • - If IndiaToday sees this; properly block ads from being able to redirect your page... and maybe dump SmartyAds
    • - If SmartyAds sees this, block whatever is going to srv23.therightways.com
    • - If Apple sees this, block this Codesigning: ( TeamIdentifier=G39CCLH4QP, Executable=/Volumes/Installer/Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/oxytonesis, Identifier=com.greige.worldliness)
    • - If Slashdot sees this... don't link to IndiaToday
  2. Malware on site on ISRO Launches Six Singaporean Satellites (thehindu.com) · · Score: 3, Informative
    The article on indiatoday.intoday.in is redirecting me to Malware... It's a problem with their ad system.
    • - Smartyads is serving an ad from srv23.therightways.com
    • - which redirects to www.preparednewupdate.net
    • - which redirects to www.search4newupdates.net
    • - which redirects to ask24update.onlinechecknow.com
    • - which serves a Mac-Chrome-update that is really a trojan that does a number of nasty things. It's properly signed so Apple's Gatekeeper won't have a problem installing it.

  4. Re:Is there a use for overflow_usub? on Linus Rants About C Programming Semantics (iu.edu) · · Score: 1

    instruction or two with appropriate compilers, by using the JC instruction rather than a CMP/JZ and in really performance critical code this will matter, but most code benefits more from readability than that extra instruction.

    More to the point, if that single instruction is so all-fired important, fix the dang compiler to recognize that case! Don't uglify the source code.

    This builtin IS the fix. Most architectures have a register that flips when overflow happens and this builtin is how you can agnostically access it. http://stackoverflow.com/quest...

    The only real problem with the original code is that it's hard to read and the performance benefits better be worth making the code more cumbersome. If the code is in a loop that runs millions of times, then Linus may be wrong here(I didn't look deep into this).
