Living on the edge of the corn belt where Comcast has had a monopoly for decades, I do not imagine that this increased upload speed will be coming here anytime soon, no matter what package Comcast wants you to sign up for.
Instead I am stuck with a relatively new company that ran a scrawny looking cable into my house for which I subscribe to the bottom-tier package that offers a measly

After the meal plan at my university became optional, ny meal history was largely defined by vending machines. Presumably the NSA hacked those as well? We certainly did.
I used to travel with one of those "travel routers" to create a local wilreless access point, and while it came in handy on occassion, those times are past, so it stays at home now.
Just changing distros, it would seem.

>>There are cryptocurrencies based around privacy, Bitcoin isn't one of them.
From the original Bitcoin white paper:
10. PRIVACY
The traditional banking model achieves a level of PRIVACY by limiting access to information to the parties involved and the trusted third party. The necessity to announce all transactions publicly precludes this method, but PRIVACY can still be maintained by breaking the flow of information in another place: by keeping public keys ANONYMOUS. The public can see that someone is sending an amount to someone else, but without information linking the transaction to anyone. This is similar to the level of information released by stock exchanges, where the time and size of individual trades, the "tape", is made public, but without telling who the parties were.
Very confusing. I first read it as "Google is killing

I've know a couple of them (maybe more) over the years and, yes, they're smart people, but would I trust one of their reports? Not without corroboration. Too full of themselves.
What neither the article nor the linked story mention is that it all started when Mark Hurd, CEO at HP, left the company and was immediately hired by Oracle. HP sued regarding some non-compete agreement, trade secrets, the usual. But then HP and Oracle settled, with the settlement agreement including the language:
"Oracle will continue to offer its product suite on HP platforms
It is that language (combined with fluff around it) that is at the core of the $3.1 billion bill it now must pay. So tell us, Larry Ellison - did Mark Hurd bring you more than $3.1 billion in value?

>>Nope. It was alloca()
The article that I read said that the bug was introduced by a programmer who:
"... replaced a strdup() in the heap with a strdupa() on the stack."
So the programmer was replacing a POSIX string function with well-defined behavior with a non-POSIX string function that called alloca, which lacks said well-defined behavior. So I guess we are both right. The real problem, though, is that it appear to be that there is no process control on the programmers of systemd - make use of whatever library calls are avaiable to make us faster, never mind if it introduces critical security bugs.
>>The kernel also can't handle this well and panics anyway.
I hate panics. Ruins my system uptime bragging rights.
