There isn't enough dough for that.

I get paid for it. Edit: For a slightly less sardonic answer, I prep an innumerable number of different items every day, and they all have to look near perfect. I decided that whil…

Yes, it's worked out terribly for some people, but everyone I know who have done upwork jobs on the side have had next to zero problems. I don't use them anymore, as I've gotten ou…

Because it's a way to make money while you're between jobs while still using the skills you're good at. Not everyone is great at networking, nor are they necessarily in a place whe…

I made a fortune on Ripple this year. I wasn't doing amazingly financially, but I invested about 50k of my savings into it over 3 months because it sounded like an amazing idea. I …

From my understanding, the VM can exploit it too via executing a crazy amount of syscalls. I may be misunderstanding, but if that were not the case I doubt that AWS would be forcin…

Also the unpatched devices. Millions of phones don't receive patches anymore, whereas most servers do get patches. They're not really comparable in scale.

The difference is scale. OpenSSL was on a lot of servers, but this affects literally every device manufactured in the last 9 years or so. A well-crafted virus could infect nearly a…

I only had a chance for a brief read over the papers, and to be frank, a lot of it goes over my head. However, from what I'm understanding, this makes Heartbleed look like a paperc…

I did google it, there was nothing of import, and that's why I asked the question.

I'm glad you like it! I've taken a leave of absence because my IRL situation has become intense, but I'll definitely be going back. If you like the particle effects, that's my doin…

I haven't heard anything about continued leaking. Any sources on that? Googling turns up nothing besides the sheep incident.

I think you're spot on. I manage an online game, and we don't have rules. We have somewhat vague guidelines, and moderators we trust to enforce them. Rules are open to arguments, a…

90 percent? Probably close to 99. While a significant portion of crypto is probably owned by rich people, the vast majority of actual owners of crypto is owned by people who make f…

No, definitely not. It would reach the temperature of the other side of the heatsink, and since that's 30 billion years, the Earth will be long, long, LONG gone by then. Even if th…

If (s)he isn't a Continuum player, I would be astounded. The default ship is pretty much the Warbird without a bullet. It handles like... identically. To the developer, if you want…

I'm with you. I read the complaint twice, and the RFC twice, and I don't quite think it's a bug. It's a weird thing to reason out, but I don't think Amazon's behavior here is wrong…

This might seem prophetic or cocky, but I've used a random b64 TLD for years that I expand with a macro. After we expanded past countries on the TLDs, I just figured that any short…

"Honey, why are your hundred grams of oatmeal taking up 5 bowls?" "I'm not sure! It must be exceptionally light."

> Protesting in your city has little impact on the federal level. Sure, if you're trying to effect change on a federal level. Do you think that marching in a small town in France o…

I would have to assume that it's not still in use by the US, lest this be incredibly classified, correct?

I'm curious as to what they mean by 'outdated.' Is the actual language outdated or simply the architecture? I would assume the latter, but it's tough to tell. I just can't figure o…

You're 100% correct, that's why I didn't get the context. The title had already changed.
