general contempt for silly surveys that bear little purpose and whose results are easily predictable before hand. In my opinion the option for over 80 is the proxy vote for please don't post things like this.

If that font change comes with a proportional increase in the size of the voting arrows our younger brethren will be kicking themselves for their honest answer. On a serious note, I'm surprised to see you offering this specific post as a be

Usually these exploit kits will use useragent and the reported plugins to decide what versions of the page to send. If this is a pro job if you were running an exploitable version of java (which a majority of people tend to be) it would pus

that was the line mtgox was feeding people to explain why their trading platform gets so lagged out at times.

Day's Range: $70.00 - $259.34 Mtgox trading engine lag: 3865.59s With gyrations like that and one hour order execution lag there isn't a regulator in the world that wouldn't halt that market. Comparing this to investing in a roulette game w

that seems to fit with me as well, i was flagging a spammy subset of articles on a subject that were being relentlessly promoted by a rather small group of people.

It's worth noting that if you actually use it that way on any kind of a regular basis you'll very quickly have the ability to flag articles removed (I did, and it took less than a month and no more than a couple dozen flags)

5 is a big part too, a moderator flag appears to instantly drop a post about 60 ranks (from first to third page). I think when you see it only get to the second page that's user flagging.

I think I was abusing terms when I said SFF, I guess I was thinking more like "in comparison to" an HPC rack. similar to the intermediate CA black box providers they seem to have much larger presences at trade shows than on the web, but thi

With ARIN likely to be 100% out of contiguos space by the end of this year, everybody really wants to discourage things like simple blog hosting taking up a /32 on its own. I'm sure they'd be happy to cut you a good deal if you were willing

yeah, so that's another good example of the future of administrative subpoena surveillance. I knew that the converged ap and modem was pretty common with dsl providers, but at least the ones i had seen allowed the customer to control what f

Yeah, glancing at the specs it looks like you're almost surely correct, that it's just checking a version string thats returned. I got a little carried away, but really my point wasn't that it's impossible to avoid the risks, just that undo

Oh yeah, its not an issue when you're talking about the typical WAN side CPE that only sees outbound traffic and isn't loaded with radios. After all, they can see or do whatever they want to your traffic anywhere in the path. It's a slightl

Yeah, I've taken a similar approach - my comments were more just to raise awareness about how much verizon is theoretically able to do in light of what a low bar they have for doing them for LEO. You can get it set up so all your iptv servi

You can only load verizon/actiontec signed firmware via the UI. I suppose you probably could reflash it directly if you connected leads to the smt chip on the board, that is assuming it's not on the SOC and assuming the stage 1 loader doesn

Really? Hmm. It has been 5+ years for me, my bad. But what's the point of the ddos's then? I see netflow graphs of huge attacks on major efnet servers on a regular basis.

I'm not an expert, but isn't it more accurate to say that freenodes and other networks have "patched" the flaw via chanserv and nickserv bots to mitigate the problems with the network model? I know efnet doesn't want formalized chan/nick ow

I'm pretty sure the generations in development have video cameras and microphones (to allow you to cough wave your hands or speak to change channels, of course). That same platform also has ISM radios in monitoring mode so that they can s

God forbid we should mildly redesign the irc semantics so that splits don't allow you to take over channels or collide clients off. I mean it's only been a big enough problem for 20 years now that you can't even host an ircd on most standar

It seems like it would be faster to make a list of things verizon won't accept an administrative subpoena for in lieu of a warrant as opposed to the other way around. On an unrelated note, if you have verizon FIOS they can push a new firmwa

You misunderstand CGN deployments - there are still different address spaces on either side of the customer router. It's just now both of them are private/non routable prefixes, or in some cases the telco side is done using six. There's no

For what it's worth, that curl install is a "beachhead" install. When you provision servers you load chef on them using knife bootsrap, which carefully ensures it installs the revision of chef on the server that you're using on the manageme
