Apple has been aware of the vulnerabilities in iMessage since November, when the JHU researchers reported them privately. The company has fixed the issues in recent iOS releases.
So yes, you're right: "Apple patches serious flaws in iMessage crypto" would have made a better headline, but, you know, it's Slashdot. If it's not a click-baity headline chock full of Slashtard trigger words, nobody would comment. Or even read TFS.
What's even better is that this news is LITERALLY 5 months old - OS X 10.11.4, which contained this fix (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206167), was released on March 21, 2016. The summary and the article make it sound like Apple's been sitting on this stuff for a year. In actuality, rolling out the security patch took them about 4 months, start to finish. Not the 9 months TFA and TFS imply.
And in related news - my comment is more informative than both Slashdot and "OnTheWire" were able to be. As a software engineer, I have zero qualifications or training to be a reporter. Yet I managed to provide more factual information in this discussion than the "reporters" did with their "reporting." At what point did we stop expecting even rudimentary fact checking and accuracy in our "News"?
There aren't any standards left in journalism these days. The "News" is scripted entertainment. Facts are sometimes reported when they fit into the script.
Absolutely correct! Several cities/urban centers around the county have artificially inflated housing prices because they are restricting new housing developments. This is part of the tenets of preventing "Urban Sprawl". Maybe Google could add Google Condos/Flats/Apartments to their campus? Hmm, well that would require Government approval too.
It's legitimate to remind people of the enemy we are up against. Too many people think these terrorists are just disgruntled oppressed people that are otherwise good and decent. That is the furthest thing from the truth. This segment is Islam needs to be eradicated. The rest of Islam lives in fear of these terrorists groups.
I live in Minnesota, the land of Winter Snow and Ice. We have 8 months (9 really) of wonderful glorious winter!
In Saint Paul, MN we celebrate winter with a Winter Carnival, Torch light parades, ice sculptures and occasionally an Ice Castle!
Don't get me wrong, Minnesnowta does have summer too! Last year it fell on a weekend and everyone was happy about that.
All I'm saying is if Fat Bottom Girl's make the world go around then Minnesota is spinning like a top. So this story about the cold making us thinner can't be true. Just say'n.
Sorry but that article claims the heat is going into the ocean. However, NASA says NO it's not. http://science.nasa.gov/scienc...
Again real science trumps.
Until an autopsy is done there is no way to know if/why a vein burst. It may or may not have anything to do with the lethal injection drugs. The rush to judgment over the drugs is simply a knee jerk reaction by those opposed to the death penalty. It's also worth asking why we have a shortage of the tested drugs. Is it not sue to the anti-death penalty groups harassing drug companies? So they created this problem because they didn't think that some other method would be tried.
It has to be Philips or Barton's and neither qualify as "decent". You might as well drink sterno. However, Luksusowa Vodka is decent (IMHO) and runs about $20/L.
The only woods worth splitting are hard woods like birch and oak etc for heating a home. Thus they are easy to split. (Hint: If you've never swung an axe, birch wood splits apart really easy when its about -20F outside.) I never split pine or other woods such as cottonwood because their value in heating was limited. Pine causes creosote build up really fast. Cottonwood burns up too fast to be as effective in heating a home.
I grew up splitting wood to heat our home. LOTS OF DAMN WOOD! The only really innovative thing I see here is the chopping block with tire to hold the log being split in place. That is something I wish I had thought of 30 years ago. This axe design is something I've seen before and it's not new. There have been offset head axe designs before for jobs like squaring a log into a timber beam etc.
That would require Liberals to think about the consequences of their actions. They can't think that far ahead. All they can see if their fantasy land visions in their little heads. Bless their little hearts.
The amount of water needed to produce Ethanol should then be more than enough reason to ban Ethanol. Once we stop using food (corn) as fuel we can go back to proper agriculture where crops are rotated instead of farms increasing not growing other crops so they can cash in on the corn bonanza. The problems in California have nothing to do with rainfall and everything to do with Government Regulations from the EPA. http://westernfarmpress.com/bl...
In typical fashion though the Government regulates a problem into existence, hires "Researches" to say the new problem caused by Government Regulations is actually caused by something else that the Government is not yet regulating (but would like to regulate) and thus creating a public outcry for the Government to regulate another part of our lives and cause yet more problems. All why you sheeple are thankful the kind and caring Government is saving you from an evil made up boogyman.

CFL's DO NOT last longer. I've tested that theory a few times in my house and NONE of those that I bought (any name brand) lasted longer than the incandescent bulbs that had been in place before and after the CFL's died. I've stocked up on real light bulbs.
Slashdot Mirror
Apple has become far more transparent than any other company yet everyone still complains.
My systems are still processing Seti. I never got into the crypto-currency fad. My systems are not making a huge dent in the Seti data, yet they persist. Is there life out there? I want to believe.

I'm too old now, but I'd love to re-enlist just and re-train in this technology! Love the NAVY!!!! Go Navy!!!

Stay Calm and put another log on the fire!
I am no longer the lean mean fighting machine of my youth, but I would still love to serve my county. I wonder if I could get back into the Navy now?
No http://www.skepticalscience.co...

This is like asking a Alpha Wolf to protect the sheep from the rest of the wolf pack which he has order to slaughter the sheep.

I've split countless loggers cord of birch when I was in my teens. I never once found it to be a cheerful experience. - just say'n Cheers!

Are we sure this article didn't start back on April 1st? Or are we talking about electronic Golf Games? This is SLASHDOT not Golf Digest.

That's part of the issue - Government Regulations http://westernfarmpress.com/bl...
More B.S. California's problem with water shortages is mostly due to Man Made Regulations! Read about how they are restricting water flow to 'protect' some little minnow. http://online.wsj.com/news/art... and http://westernfarmpress.com/bl...
So they had a form of Pig Latin back then too? "issKay emay Iyay'may ikingVay"
What about the power? I don't speak horse.
