Fuck Allah. Fuck Jesus. Fuck Yahveh. Fuck Jehovah. Fuck Vishnu. Fuck Xenu. Fuck Kim Il Sung (as much a god as the rest). Fuck Ahura Mazda. Fuck all the rest.
Sorry, but religions are the single worst plague that befalls humanity. Christianity alone put the world's scientific progress back by ~1500 years. There's not a single good thing to be said about Islam. Juche turns the lives of its (often forced, like in Islam) worshippers into a hellhole. And so on, so on.
Religion deserves strictly less respect than Yersinia pestis or syphillis, as it claimed far more casualties and hurt the quality of life of surviving victims than those.
There's a simple solution: exempt session cookies, make the law harsher on persistent cookies.
All legitimate navigation needs are served well enough by session cookies. Legitimate uses of persistent cookies, such as "remember me" login or saving preferences require an explicit action of the user, and that can have a short cookie warning included.
By "make the law harsher", I propose requiring disclosing the actual purpose of gathering data, rather than saying just "to enhance your browsing experience".
Obama stopped at nothing to erase any possible positive legacy. Heck, he managed to be worse than Dubya, and that's no small feat.
These two make the shenanigans of all prior candidates to the title of "worst president of the US" a kid's play. Giving a relatively small favour to an oil company? Wiretapping a single hotel rather than the entire country? Contemplating using IRS against an opponent rather than a widespread scheme of actually doing so?
They don't have real nukes or ballistic missiles, yes, as that needs tech. They do have, though, an enormous number of 1950-era pieces of conventional artillery that would kill millions in northern parts of South Korea. This includes Seoul which is close to the border and whose metro area makes up roughly half of South Korea's population.
And that artillery is well dug-in in mountainous terrain so even nuking them wouldn't stop the carnage.
They don't drop support for OSes just because of them being "old". They drop for not being broken unstable bleeding edge.
They dropped support for Debian wheezy before jessie was even out. If they can't manage to build on the latest stable release of a major platform that's only 1.5 years old, you shouldn't consider using them for anything that needs to be reliable.
Comments in the release match Russian rhetoric. In theory, this could be false flag, but Russian spooks have a fondness towards signing their actions: they're uncertain just enough to avoid a possibility of legal blaming but obvious enough to leave no doubts who's behind them. Such as "locals who bought surplus military gear" in Ukraine (especially Crimea), or Litvinenko being killed via polonium rather than a bullet or a knife.
Uhm no, there is a distinction. "A internet" (lowercase) is a bunch of interconnected networks, "the Internet" (capitalized) is the currently biggest one.
Because of the growth of the latter, the former meaning is far less common, but it still exists.
Almost two decades ago, my friends and me ran four instances of Quake, running it via X forwarding from a Linux box to our IRIX workstations. It was playable. Sadly in a window as those IRIXes had insane (for those times) display resolutions, but it worked well.
Try getting a fluent animation over VNC or similar crap today, on so many orders of magnitude better hardware.
You get only 1 bit per hostname but can use any number of them. You then make a query to http://bit0.example.org/http://bit1.example.org/http://bit2.example.org/ and so on, recording which succeeded and which failed. For HSTS you query http and have https either not work or return a different answer, for HPKP you query https and have test servers use certificates signed by a valid CA that doesn't match the pin.
You don't even need javascript to read the answers, both to display something to the user (pieces of CSS) or notify your server (you know whether the test requests succeeded or not).
A company that's little known but produces massively better hardware than hyped RasPi does deserve some spotlight. As for support for bad hardware, you can return it for a limited time after purchase -- but really, both for RasPi and hardkernel the hardware's cost is low enough compared to shipping costs that it's less hassle to just throw away and buy new. We're not talking about $5000 or more servers here.
HSTS and HPKP provide provide cookies that, while far more unconvenient to abuse, are enormously more insidious. You can't really block third-party H??? cookies, making them session-only defeats their stated purpose, and usual cookie-handling extensions don't manage them either.
Thus, anyone who cares about privacy needs to disable both HSTS and KPKP, which is sad as such people tend be those most at risk of state-level attacks.
So we indeed urgently need DANE. For now, both Chrome and Firefox have it effectively at WONTFIX.
Slashdot Mirror
how many times can you unplug and replug that PS/2 keyboard before it's destroyed? 10k? 15k?
More like 20-100. It's pretty fragile.
Hans Reiser might be a psychopath but at least he's not incompetent. Carly has not the slightest bit of adequacy.

In the case of Google Chrome, who are the customers?
Advertisers, duh.

Chromium doesn't support "32-bit Linux". It supports i386 only. In total, it supports only 2 out of 22 Debian architectures.
Degrading an ad delivery platform doesn't hurt, degrading a functional browser does.
In this case, the taxpayer is the victim. Using government money to promote this scam "art" means more will be produced, which is a tragedy.

including documents implicating Putin and his cronies
Which is the exact reason Putin's minions released this data now: to have the public talk about something else.

Well... to vote with your wallet you need to have a wallet, and those 180 families do.
Why did you assume it's you who gets their vote to count? Remember the golden rule.
Most people don't consider PHP to be a better option.
One could name perl or python... but then, compared to node.js and PHP, assembler and brainfuck are better choices.

There are valid reasons to use Blackberry. There are no valid reasons to use Facebook.

I'm not 100% certain she's the lesser evil. And considering Trump, that's saying something.

On the other hand, the old DICEy overlords at Sourceforge can't even keep their https working, at least for prdownloads.sourceforge.net.
I've got one thing to say: "<3", and that only because U+2665 doesn't yet work.
