Do a search for "Obama Antichrist" and you'll see plenty of examples. "Obama devil" gets some hits, too.

The worst election result is losing the house, senate, and presidency all at once. Look at who has power, not the votes.

2 factor authentication is great, but it won't stop an attacker from using an XSS attack to get the authentication cookie. In general, security isn't something that can be tacked on as an afterthought, it has to be built in from t

Not to mention, it doesn't matter if things are kept up to date when Wordpress takes months to issue a patch for critical security problems.

by XparXnoiAx 10y ago
Yeah, I wish I could recommend WordPress to people because it's really nice at what it does, but the security flaws are too serious.The fact that it takes months for them to fix serious vulns reported to them only makes it worse. Serio

Yeap, you're right, I misread. Here is a quote from the paper: "15% of these exploits were created before the disclosure of the corresponding vulnerability." So there's a lower bound.

by XparXnoiAx 10y ago
The study says that most vulnerabilities were being exploited before being disclosed.

by XparXnoiAx 10y ago
It should be pointed out that most vulnerabilities are, in fact, being exploited before they are patched. Citation in this article: https://medium.com/@xParXnoiAx/irresponsible-disclosure-52d0...

No, absolutely not. Even if their intentions are good, they still have shown some questionable competence, for example: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/03/31/trend_micro_patches_... http://www.

I'm curious whether any physicists here have read this book and found its claims justified. Which claim in particular? I recommend the book, not so much because of its conclusions, but rather because of its excellent history telling.

"The End of Physics" is a good one. You may also re-think your desire to learn physics. If you get through the book and still want to learn, then you will do it completely without illusions. https://www.amazon.com&#x2

"And it's not possible to shift a person people into all of those categories, it's mostly inborn" You're making a helluvan assertion there. You're going to need a citation, because psychology has no clue abou

Democracy works as well as the voters. It hasn't stopped working, for an example close-to-home, look at the corruption in SF, that has been there for over a century. As long as voters don't pay attention, we'll have lousy g

The article itself addresses your point, saying, "modern writers have tried to show that the Spanish conquistadors exaggerated the human sacrifice; archaeology has shown that, if anything, they lowballed it." Sometimes 'atroc

So......do you understand what they were doing with all those human sacrifices? Because I sure don't. I can make guesses, just as the article does, but I sure don't understand it.

by XparXnoiAx 10y ago
Most cultures of the world had some form of human sacrifice in their past history. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sacrifice It's kind of a strange aspect of humanity.

At DefCon, someone did a talk investigating the wireless security of some drones. Some of them had a TELNET port open for anyone to log in. The problem here isn't a lack of formal verification, it's a lack of people caring. Ther

To some degree that's a compromise. There are people who want neither nudity nor violence on TV, but they've lost the violence fight (somewhat: there are still limits, see http://screencrush.com/avengers-rated-r&#x

It matters if you're actually formulating an argument. I understand what you are saying What is the argument? If you start thinking about it, I think you'll find it's actually quite hard to create a coherent counter-argumen

The big difficulty here is letting people know that the project even exists. Most people here could build it, but figuring out how to bring in customers is the hard part.

It's kind of a problem. I knew a Chinese girl who chose the English name "Squirrel." When I told her it wasn't a real name, she didn't quite understand.
