I might be missing something, but isn't it usually easier to get a back door into software than to seize a server? Reading the articles it's using or piggybacking on P2P, but you have to get the software from -somewhere- initially, and I assume there will be updates. Even if those updates are pushed out via the integrated P2P network, I'd imagine there's still ways they could compromise it. And wouldn't the tracking of user names make things more dangerous should the software be compromised?

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza Pi.

And calling it a phablet is like calling your car a corse. -.-

Sure, but when I inject DNA into someone's ear I get put on the sex offender registry.

My wife says I fail this test on a regular basis.

Maybe, but we all know she would have been better off with a car analogy.

That would be ideal, and there's nothing stopping the OpenSSL project from doing that.

Except for a lack of manpower and funding, which this fork is splintering even further. And the vague way that they say they're cleaning up OpenSSL when what they're doing is in fact forking it honestly strikes me as misleading. I don't mind that their out to make an OpenBSD specific fork of OpenSSL per se, just that if I'm going to fund something I'd rather fund getting it fixed for everyone.

This submission brought to you by someone who's probably reading /. when they're supposed to be working.

That's what I was wondering. The summary is a little vague, and I didn't really get a whole lot of clarity reading the articles as to whether OpenBSD was cleaning up OpenSSL and forking it to LibreSSL, or just cleaning up the code AS they forked it to LibreSSL. It seems like the latter, and if they're not contributing back and keeping LibreSSL OpenBSD only (at least initially), they're solving a problem less than 1% of us are having rather than helping a whole lot more.

I'd much rather see the OpenSSL project itself get cleaned up (or forked/restarted for "everyone" if the code needs more than cleanup) than have it forked and cleaned up for JUST an OpenBSD implementation.

Yeap. I worked a summer on a sorting line in a recycling facility. Standing still on hard flooring is brutal. Even adding rubber mats didn't help a ton, and good shoes weren't really an option since we needed steel toed boots.

The thing that helped the most? Dancing. We put on music and danced while we sorted and it was light years better than just standing still.

Like the above person mentioned, you can use context to determine the correct meaning. 99% of the time, you can assume the person means the former. If you happen to be at Terminus, you can instead assume the latter.

It's just a way for mathematicians to get people to stop asking inane questions during the apocalypse.

"Can you estimate Pi?"
"Sure. Hand me that shotgun."

"Do you know Euler's Number offhand?"
"Of course. Hand me that bazooka."

"What's Pythagoras' constant?"
"Seriously? Do you see a tank around here?" Eventually you get left in peace.
