What regulations / standards would actually stop these things from getting out though?

ZFS. I created a raid-Z zpool in 2010 on FreeBSD and those same bits, with two different drives, are still floating around intact 6 years later, across multiple different operating systems.

I'll be very curious to the the source of this native-Windows port.

Absurdly high taxes (my parents pay half my tax on a non-rural property twice as big about 120 miles north of me), but still, owning a home is hardly a fiscally ruinous proposition around here. My property taxes this year were ~$4200 on an

Well, in some areas, but it really depends on the market - the property taxes on my home in a University city of 200,000 are 1/3 of what I was paying in rent - with the interest on my mortgage the amount of "lost" money comes

The /proc/kallsyms values are identical across identical kernel compilations. Suppose you have a vulnerable CentOS 7 system that you want to exploit - you could get the proper addresses from your own CentOS 7 VM running the same k

Is SMAP required for mitigation, or is SMEP enough? IIUC SMEP is on Sandy Bridge processors too.

Thanks, that worked.

How do you find those addresses?

I cannot for the life of me make it through a game of chess without making some catastrophic blunder. If programming was that unforgiving I'd have to buy a new system every time I wrote a function.

I'd consider myself a good programmer but an absolutely terrible chess player, so no, I don't think they really have much bearing.

Red Hat's communication on their distribution of Florian's patch was sorely lacking, especially after http://lcamtuf.blogspot.com/2014/09/bash-bug-apply-unofficia... . It was in no way clear that Red Hat&

Anecdotally I see better performance using ZoL than I did when I was running the same zpool and hardware on FreeBSD.

Do you boot from your ZFS partition? The initramfs limitation would only come into play in that situation, I believe.

The "postcard -> unencrypted email as letter-in-envelope -> encrypted email" seems to be a very good analogy for explaining the need for encryption to laypeople. The technicals are trickier (and outside my scope of expertise

Unfortunately, not that I can find. I'd love to expand this concept and do full window manager integration with tmux/screen, actually. I can't see any problems with having a bottom-tabbed UI with nice tmux keybindings - &quot

Iterm2 can do this with tmux (newer, non-GNU screen basically).

Even if I wanted to put up an antenna, certain spots are just not going to get reception easily for all of the channels I want to watch.

Isn't "except in emergencies" just asking for a company to liberally define "emergency"?

His "D3D interop" layer (I'm not sure why he called it emulation) is almost exactly what Valve just open-sourced. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/ToGL

Very very pretty graphics. I love that it doesn't look like voxels. I wonder if you could use this to import and export meshes from a physics sim? If you could turn the brick wall, for instance, into a Havok mesh, simulate knocking i

On a semi-unrelated note, is there a decent English-speaking online Go community anywhere? I would like to try my hand at playing but I can't find anything along the lines of FICS, or even a decent-looking client for Android.

Sysrq is kinda neat. You can force a kernel panic by 'echo c > /proc/sysrq' if you really want.

I read pretty quickly but have never expressly timed it (400WPM on Spritz seems a bit slow anecdotally, but I don't comprehend Spritz even on low speeds). I think what I do is read pairs/tuples of words at once, and then move on t

Yeah, I tried reading an excerpt from http://deadspin.com/when-englands-greatest-genius-took-over-... and not only did it sound odd in my head, I felt like I wasn't really reading any quicker than I normally would. I t
