Why does bash have to worry about security?
Because if it is installed as
Not everything is vulnerable. CGI is not inherently vulnerable (it could use execve() directly) and the called code need not use bash ever. But it's still a serious problem as anything that explicitly requires bash is also definitely broken: we want it fixed ASAP. (A start would be to never process environment variables for function definitions during startup, especially when running as
Well then. Revolution it is.
It would be a horrible civil war, at least in the U.S. The citizenry is so divided on so many issues, that I believe the battles would continue long after the federal government was overthrown.
The City of London Police are a territorial police force though; they're all (well all of the full time and specials) are sworn constables.
My impression is that most policemen are ultimately deferential to those who pay them.
light up a ciggy
That's prohibited for everyone. Airlines' experience, and that of their insurers, shows that it's just too much of a hazard. (Not that I mind; I think the smell of smoke is awful at the best of times.) Nicotine addict? Remember those patches on longhaul flights!
two-phase commit
I'd say just to be safe, you should be using 3- or 4-phase commit.
I'm afraid you were still semi-wooshed. I was actually making a reference to this.
Because Postgres isn't web-scale. I want web-scale.
Outside of malicious HTTP headers landing in environment variable in CGI land, I'm hard pressed to think of another reasonable vector for this bug to be a problem...
To be fair, with a moderately competent CGI implementation, the subprocess will start just fine. The problem comes with whatever that subprocess calls, since environment variables are inherited by default. The deeper you go, the greater the likelihood that some programmer will have used system() or popen(), or even flat-out implemented the process as a shell script.
Early in the video, the narrator said "our eyes just know that these (shown on the screen) videos are real", with the point being that later on he was going to surprise us that they were in fact renditions by his product.
But when I was looking at those images, I was actually thinking that they didn't look real to me. For some reason, I found myself thinking of Half-life 2.
Yes, with this new product, you the fashion and cosmetic industry will be able to make videos with models whose waist is thinner than their ankes.
I think Walmart has already solved that design problem. They're called "cankles".
Not only that we're talking about voxels, but also we're actually Slashdotting an origin server.
That's the problem with liberals like Gates. They are very good at telling others how to be responsible citizens but consider themselves exempt from that
There's a classic quip about that. "A liberal is someone who will give you the shirt off of someone else's back."
This was my experience as well. I have lots of experience, but I decided to get a PhD both to scratch a personal itch and to maybe open some employment doors.
What I found was that it did open a few particular doors, including for my current job which I'm really enjoying.
However, the number of doors open, compared to if I'd just stopped at a Master's degree, is probably lower. Especially if you consider the years I was working on my PhD rather than keeping up with the latest buzzword-bingo skills.
I guess I had to learn the lesson the hard way, despite some pretty clear warnings: unless you're going for a career in academia or research, you're better off stopping at a masters.
The American Library Association maintains lists of the most frequently challenged books (i.e. the ones people try to ban). Although 1984 shows up on the list of challenged classics, there is only one challenge listed -- someone in Jackson County, Florida in 1981 thought that it was "pro-communist and contained explicit sexual matter". The first part shows a massive failure of reading comprehension, not actual hostility towards the content. 1984 doesn't show up in the top 100 challenged books lists for 1990-1999 or 2000-2009.
However, the US isn't the only country that bans (or tries to ban) books. Works like 1984 are much more likely to be banned by totalitarian regimes precisely because they encourage people to think about the ways in which the regime is trying to restrict them. Banning books is basically wrong anywhere, not just in one country in one part of the planet.
Neutrinos have bad breadth.
