Submission + - SOPA Blackout Simulator (vilimpoc.org)
You can build this into your websites and give people a real sense of what an arbitrary and capricious SOPA web censorship regime might look like.
Quote from Secunia advisory:
A vulnerability has been discovered in Microsoft Windows, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise a user's system. The vulnerability is caused due to an error in win32k.sys and can be exploited to corrupt memory via e.g. a specially crafted web page containing an IFRAME with an overly large "height" attribute viewed using the Apple Safari browser. Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code with kernel-mode privileges
Safari is apparently the only currently known browser where this attack could be vectored from.
Yea, but you forget the huge loans that many of us accumulate after getting our degrees in engineering. It's just not easy t forget about it all and go hitchhiking across Europe. That said, once I do finish my loans I am going to do exactly that with a couple of friends.
No. Encrypted queries operating directly on an encrypted database. Sounds really rad! A snooping third party will only see random gibberish.
Warning heeded, but I saw this on a blog post at commoncrawl.org.
This bucket is marked with Amazon Requester-Pays flag, which means all access to the bucket contents requires an an http request that is signed with your Amazon Customer Id. The bucket contents are accessible to everyone, but the Requester-Pays restriction ensures that if you access the contents of the bucket from outside the EC2 network, you are responsible for the resulting access charges. You don’t pay any access charges if you access the bucket from EC2, for example via a map-reduce job, but you still have to sign your access request. Details of the Requeser-Pays API can be found here: http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/index.html?RequesterPaysBuckets.html
If I understood that right, at least getting started with the tutorial will not result in me coughing up $200. Correct me if I am mistaken.
This will be my first (and hopefully not last) headfirst dive into MapReduce.
