  1. Re:I wonder how it is to be used on Samsung Creates New File System F2Fs For Linux & Android · · Score: 4, Informative

    You can find a lot of details in the txt file: https://lwn.net/Articles/518719/

  2. Re:Amazon Web Services? on Ask Slashdot: VPN Service For a Deployed US Navy Ship? · · Score: 1, Informative

    From the question:

    And it has to be a company — computer in someone's closet hosting a VPN isn't acceptable to the Navy

    So firstly he can't host it himself and providing a VPN service for 100 devices is by no mean a trivial task.

  3. Re:What is the problem? on Full Upgrades To Windows 8 Only From Windows 7? · · Score: 1

    To be fair when you use debootstrap you install a new system, you don't upgrade an existing system.
    For example debootstrap won't magically import all your old configuration files whereas upgrading will at least present you a dialog box and some options.

    Where are my mod points when I most need them.

  5. Re:Accenture wrote it? on Bev Harris of Black Box Voting Releases Accenture's Voting Software · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Could you shed some light to why Accenture is so terrible ? Slashdot's search didn't return any interesting links.

  6. Re:Ugh on The Cost of Crappy Security In Software Infrastructure · · Score: 1

    XSS is still a systemic error, not strictly coding. Why? Because it's code injection. If the browser was sandboxed, then the code couldn't do anything. Now, fi your bank was hit or your browser is sandboxed per instance, not tab, then you could lose your bank info to an attack, again, a high level design issue, not a coding issue.

    Well even if the browser is sandboxed what would it change? The malicious code comes from the URL (either per mail or linking) and is displayed back to the user without any sanitizing, how is this not an coding error ?

    I've used the NASA's texture for my little OpenGL program, I must say it's very nice of their part to provide everything with great details and multiple layers.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't everyone pushing javascript AFTER the lolkittens so the user sees the content before interacting with it ?

  12. Re:Overpowerful. on AMD Radeon HD 7970 Launched, Fastest GPU Tested · · Score: 1

    Well I see the rainbow effect when looking at such projectors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Light_Processing.
    And I also see the new cars backlight LED flickering which can be quite annoying while driving.

  13. Re:Overpowerful. on AMD Radeon HD 7970 Launched, Fastest GPU Tested · · Score: 1

    I can see when a CRT is set at 60Hz and even a faint flickering at 70Hz.
    Same as these LED lights blicking everywhere.

  14. Re:It'd be nice if ... on The IOCCC Competition Is Back · · Score: 1

    And yet you fail to give an accurate example of something that breaks on multiple platforms because "char" is probably the most stable type in C.

    And btw in C you have intXX_t and uintXX_t types now.

    Longer answer: Yes unless your host is running suphp or other impersonating mechanism.

    How to check? Just put var_dump(posix_getpwuid(posix_getuid())); in a php file, execute it and look if the user is the same as your ftp's user
