Infuriatingly, it's not clear whether Burt Rutan built and designed his early planes by himself from the Wikipedia articles. I may have bought into a mythical view of Burt, but I would definitely believe that Burt Rutan could build an aerop

Enterprise extensibility and inter-operativity or inter-dependency is extremely complex to get right. Multiple standards exist for just about anything, and most implementations of something are broken in one way or another. I've seen obviou

supporting the fork with updates to the opt outs is good, but the change to the add-on seems gratuitous. a more user friendly approach would have been to give them the 'downgrade' update, and opened a tab offering the 'enhanced' abine priva

How do you know that IT pros are less likely to implement a workaround than hackers are to exploit it? How prevalent is deploying workarounds and mitigations versus deploying patches? I don't know of any research in this area; it would be v

On most firewalls this should be trivial. On an Cisco ASA: access-list BLOCK_TIMEEXCEEDED deny icmp any any time-exceeded (iirc) and then apply the acl. You should block all hosts as any could be chosen by the person. They could change 3.3.
