PS: is it because of the summer-period lack of news or Slashdot is planning to make the move to pure sensationalism? Because a big proportion of the titles lately are quite unclear (to say it softly).
I think its a move towards sensationalism. Given that/. is now mirroring the article titles on social media (twitter, facebook?) it is looking more and more as if/. editors have been told to make the titles vague yet provocative.
Keep in mind, as the page footer says, Slashdot is a DHI Service.
Emails from my domain were being routed to recipient spam folders, so I decided to become more compliant with the current email guidelines, DKIM, DMARC, SPF, DNSSEC, PTR records, etc.
.
DKIM is actually kind of cool. I like to see inbound emails being authenticated by my email server.
DNSSEC was a pain to implement, though. That is, until I found a good, DNSSEC-friendly registrar (gkg.net) that made the switch to DNSSEC for my domain quite easy.
Now I get daily DMARC data sent to me, and also to dmarcian.com for reporting.
Most important, however, is that my emails aren't winding up in spam folders anymore.
The public has often a hard time understanding research and its relevance to society....
Maybe if "the public" spent half as much time learning about basic science in school as they do watching youtube, "the public" might be better equipped to understand science.
.
Why not focus on bringing up the scientific ability of the "the public" instead of dumbing down scientists?
We have received several emails asking if we are impacted by the
latest CVE-2015-1793. We are not impacted. The code related to that
CVE was added after we forked 1.0.1g and we did not merge these changes
from upstream. This CVE only concerns newer OpenSSL releases.
...Being able to design and develop is liberating because that lets you make stuff..../quote>
That citation comes from a person who does happen to find it liberating to be able to design and develop.
.
What if a person does not find that liberating but burdensome? Why push someone to do something they find to be burdensome?
This article looks like a case of I like it, therefore everyone likes it.
...I started ripping my own CDs to MP3 early on in the game and quickly realized that putting my collection in Apple's hands would not let me retain control of my collection....
Take into account that the Windows version of iTune truncates the filenames of the media files unnecessarily. Apple gives the excuse that the truncation is necessary to fit inside the Windows 255 character length limit for pathnames, however, filenames (i.e., the carefully crafted filenames of my media files) are truncated even though the resulting pathname is less than 100 characters in length.
For some reason, Apple seems to think it owns the metadata for my media collection, and can do with it whatever it wants.
.
I want to be the one in control of my music library. I do not want Apple, acting as a proxy for the media industry, taking inventory of the songs I have and changing the metadata for those songs.
Maybe Mozilla should "get over it", bring Firefox back to its roots, and stop making Firefox more and more bloated with superficial features whilst significant architectural issues remain unresolved.
When I tried Chrome, I noticed that it changes the system http proxy settings, instead of just changing the browser's proxy settings. In other words, when I set Chrome to use my privoxy proxy, Chrome then changes the global http proxy for Windows, so that everything else on the PC uses privoxy (which I do not want to happen).
Does Chrome still have this behavior?
.... If they are storing their photos on facebook, they ARE storing them in the cloud....
In a general sense, correct.
.
However, when I said "cloud-based storage" I meant the cloud service was a storage service, not a social media service. If I had meant facebook, I would have said cloud-based social media service.
They could just delete most of the photos after they age a bit, analyzing it with some of their AI whiz-bang software....
More than a few of my [real world] friends use facebook as their archive for photos, eschewing local or cloud-based storage for their historical family photos. They would be unhappy if facebook were to randomly start deleting photos just because they've been on facebook for a period of time.
.
Of course, I've told those friends that facebook may not have the same photo-preservation goals as they do, but they seem to be unconcerned.
... it's just a little more than 1% the size of OpenSSL...Notably, s2n does not provide all the additional cryptographic functions that OpenSSL provides in libcrypto, it only provides the SSL/TLS functions....
So then, aren't size comparisons between OpenSSL and s2n at best useless, and at worst intentionally misleading?
The problems are well known yet development of the jet continues.
...Most recently, there have been concerns over its computer systems' vulnerability, and Chinese hackers have possibly stolen classified data related to the project....

...Simplifying licensing by issuing site licenses to PC makers is not evil....
Yes it was, and the per-processor licensing scheme that Microsoft foisted upon the PC industry was declared so.
It would be real nice if Chromecast supported Power over Ethernet with the hardwired port.
how me someone from the open source community who has helped and donated more...
No one from the open source community has used a monopoly to take profits out of the PC industry and profited from it as Bill Gates did.
.
Gates' money is tainted, and it appears he is trying to buy his way into a good place in history.
...Crawford argues that web-scale data centers are designed to cope with hardware failures...
By that logic, the telco data centers are not designed to cope with hardware failures?
.
Of course, I really don't care if facebook has downtime due to hardware reliability issues. facebook is more a waste of time than anything else.

I've still got my Firefox "Take Back The Web" t-shirt.

Maybe there should be a "Take Back Firefox" t-shirt....
Just because the other browsers have problems it doesn't mean that Firefox doesn't have problems of its own....
It's Mozilla's problems, not Firefox's.
.
Mozilla has become so full of itself, it's lost in a cul-de-sac of self-importance.
Mozilla needs to grow past the "we know better" phase and start listening to its users again.
Unless and until Mozilla does that, Firefox will continue losing market share to Chrome.
...You know what, guys? Get over it....
Maybe Mozilla should "get over it", bring Firefox back to its roots, and stop making Firefox more and more bloated with superficial features whilst significant architectural issues remain unresolved.

Or is it still the same you will do it the Mozilla way Australis [sp?] mess?

I post an opinion here and it is mod'd as flamebait. Must be some Apple fanboys around.....
I've always thought of Safari as more of an "also ran" than anything resembling a leader in the browser market.
