Comment Re:Galaxy Alpha - We Hardly Knew Ye (Score 1) 47

The A5 is a bigger phone so its not really a replacement for the Alpha.

If you want an Alpha sized phone without touchwiz, wait a month or two and see how the CyanogenMod 11 port is going.

In other words, buy a piece of hardware/software combo, and throw away the software, and warranty, and spend a bunch of time and effort screwing with it to try to make it work?

Why not just buy a Nexus or another phone?

Right. Because he is going to stash it under a mattress in his house, leading him to need a new, large house, for that said mattress, so he bought a large house for it, right?

Are you really that stupid to think that someone with $2.5 billion is not going to invest their money and get better returns than most of us would? Do you really think they will hide the money under the mattress so that it will only earn 0% interest?

Submission + - Serious flaws in NTP (the application, not the protocol) need to be patched 3

hawkinspeter writes: A new set of vulnerabilities with the most common NTP daemon have been discovered by Google security researchers. There exist public exploits that target these flaws, so it's recommended to patch to version 4.2.8 (or switch to openntp which doesn't have the same issues) immediately. This is especially problematic for those systems that run ntpd with root privileges as a single carefully crafted packet can allow access at the privilege level of the process. This was reported by ZDNet a few days ago and I have yet to see the Ubuntu patches for this, but it looks like Red Hat are on top of things.
