In Germany, it was long years the custom, that when somebody asked the agency about his score, they in turn dropped his score. This is not legal anymore, as much I know, but still also in Germany, your fate is sometimes bound to the street,

It all depends on the underlying technology. Yes, an indirection costs more. But in the same time, the first level array can be much smaller and it even can be that both arrays together are smaller than the old array before, because it had

After having a short look on the compilation, it shows one thing very accurately IMHO: C syntax is very error prone. To sad, that so many new programming languages chose to use exactly this syntax that is so error prone. C was a very good p

You are right, that the Brexit does not help the British. But that is the problem with this voting, it is dominated by illogical feelings. The problem is also not the EU as such, but the governments of the EU countries.

That is a clear vote against a Europe that is not about democracy or peace, but solely about trade regulations and the interests of big corporations. The people in Europe see, how many regulations just come from Brussels to be just acknowle

I always find it a very negative sign for a company, when the corridors are getting filled with pep talk posters, which could have come directly from the latest management magazine. For me it is a clear sign, that innovation and real work d

Such decisions are not made in the face of pressure. I think, they are made years ago and now they are (still) executed. In the corporation centers, nobody thinks of critical users that look very carefully on things. They mostly think about

Part of the problem IMHO is, that SO tries to be two things at once. It says, it shall be a help portal for programmers, but at the same time they want to be something like Wikipedia for programmers. Both things do not fit well together. Wh

It is a finger pointing game today. The rich say, it is not our fault, the corporations are doing that. The corporations say: We have to do that, because the "market" is demanding higher interest rates! So, who is to blame: "

And still, the (mis-)use of antibiotics in meat production carries on (at least in Europe) -- even using last-resort antibiotics.

The problem with the automotive industry is, that the top lobbyist in the EU for it is the German chancellor (which name soever he/she has).

So, it is OK, to violate the rights of the people in a "transparent" way? Or are you just want to say, that it is an improvement that he at least kept one of his promises?

The problem will be, that with such treaties as TTIP, the worst of both systems will become the default. So it is very likely, that the US will get the standards for air pollution (from automobiles) from the EU and the EU will get the food

Before Obama was elected, they said the same thing about him and spying on US citizen. Edit: Seems, I said something right here -- hence the many downvotes! For those not knowing: Obama was much criticizing the spying when he still was Sena

Are we already at the same point of history, as it was 1933? Western democracies are unable to protect democracy or even stand for democratic rights. Instead they are more fearful about some refugees. Who does not learn from history, is doo

That are mostly the smaller companies (at least in Germany). The bigger corporations also avoid taxes, but the legal way and with electronic transactions. First politics should do something about this!

I'd love to have only electronic money. It would have so many advantages. BUT: The risks of it and the potential for misuse are so many, that all advantages of electronic money are not worth to go in this direction. We are in a situati

In theory, yes. But currently, there exist enough structural problems, as much I know, that Bitcoin or similar schemes can not replace cash. Further, even with a total secure system, there will always be the pressure of the governments to c

Ok, is there any CVE that covers this attack / disables SSLv2? This is rather in-transparent to me. Would be nice, if somebody could give better advice on this soon.

To make it more clear: According to the info page, I can disable SSLv2 on OpenSSL only by installing a newer version of OpenSSL, that is not available on Debian (as I found). (I also updated my original post)

by PythonicAlpha 11y ago
One reason: Using a distribution that uses old OpenSSL versions (see my own post).

According to the info page, SSLv2 can only be disabled on OpenSSL by having the right (newer) version of OpenSSL installed. I just checked Debian versions. Wheezy (oldstable): Much to old OpenSSL versions, according to the info site Jessy (

The point of wealth inequality is, that it is rapidly increasing -- particularly in the last 20 years. The parent poster implied, that by increasing the wealth of some, all will benefit. In my country, this was not the case in the last 20 y
