I think you're missing the point:

The earth's mantle is significantly more dense than the crust. Mountains are made of matter that is less dense than the mantle, so when they go deeply into the earth, there is less mantle "beneath" your feet.

More mountain = less mantle = less dense.

Here's the 'clarifying' quote by the director of BIS:

After reading that several times, I'm still not sure what is allowed and what is not.

Right. Now imagine someone copied it, and made it worse. Then you would have Nuget.

How can you tell? It seemed like he was running for president even before being elected Senator.

Obama isn't reducing the national debt any more than he made it balloon at the beginning of his presidency.

If he really doesn't know OOP, he should learn that. It's nothing that can't be solved by building a project in Java.

COBOL was relatively readable when it was invented, compared to the other languages of the time. The purpose was to be so readable that even managers could understand it

Well written COBOL is understandable. The biggest complaint is that it's overly verbose (other problems like "no re-entrant functions" aren't problems anymore). In many ways Java seems like a modern version of COBOL.

lol it fascinates me how common this problem is (and why always choose factory?). And then you half your code is converting from one object type to another.

Well, at least you're approaching the right point.

If your codebase can't be easily understood without intellisense, then your codebase sucks.

Thanks for reading.

My next piece is going to examine how stable systemd interfaces are over time. I would have written it already, but it's not an easy thing to do :S

Well, that strategy does match your sig.

AFAICT it doesn't put 'the internet' in jeopardy, reports are only a small percentage of websites are even vulnerable to this (link).

Here's the weird thing about this to me (in bullet points):
* A couple years ago, the only people who cared about vulns were people who knew how to use metasploit or ethereal or something.
* Last year, with Heartbleed, the news organization found out it could generate page views if the vulnerability had a pretty logo.
* Now with this story, the non-techy articles are so numerous it's hard to figure out what the actual exploit even is. But if you want to find an 'personal interest' story blaming Bush or Clinton (or whatever president), they're all over the place.

I wonder what will happen if the mainstream media learns to read Apple's or Microsoft's security bulletins and finds out how common security exploits actually are......

ICMP uses IP, and ARP typically does too.

They're annoying only if you can't solve them
