The way I read it is that they want other operating systems to adopt the same infrastructure, e.g. kernel mode setting, instead of implementing an abstraction layer in Wayland itse…

If winlogon runs in the same security context and the same desktop as explorer.exe then a key logger will be able to intercept all logins, and a screenshotter will be able to take …

Then have git output a message telling the user that the setting is now global. That way you accomodate for both cases in a usable manner.

I dispute this claim. There are only very few ways your ~/.gitconfig can be corrupted: 1. You edited it by hand and fucked up the syntax. In this case git could print an error inst…

I'm not the guy who voted you down, but I'm guessing other people did it because your posts' attitude imply that new users are absolutely not worth accommodating for and that usabi…

You can provide a virtual keyboard the way E-Gold does it in order to fight key loggers.

I haven't used RedHat-based distros for years now but I remember that back when I switched to Debian-based distros I was equally confused about Debian's package management system. …

This is actually a pretty good idea. The captcha should include some kind of system for reporting slavery or other kinds of work-related abuse, whereby the reporter will be rewarde…

Why is grsecurity not merged upstream?

There are a lot of local root exploits in Linux the past few years. But ever since Linux dropped the stable-unstable version numbering scheme, different distributions ship a wide v…

WebM isn't a container format. It's a standard which specifies MKV (container) + VP8 (video codec) + Vorbis (audio codec).

I keep hearing this battery life thing but how much battery life does H264 hardware acceleration really save? I dare to wager that the majority of the power is used by the screen, …

That's because someone deleted the site object. The demo database is reset every 24 hours and I've just issued a manual reset.

Finally! I was waiting for someone to recognize the name. :D

The sections are really short. Giving each section its own URL will make the reading experience horrible. Most of my users told me that they actually prefer a one-page manual becau…

The thread identifier is not the problem. I'm only displaying one comment topic at a time by using a lightbox. However once I have loaded a Disqus comment topic, switching to anoth…

If people keep repeating the same thing then that would qualify as an active discussion. Juvia is specifically not designed for active discussion. It's just for simple commenting.

Yes. Still working on it though: https://github.com/FooBarWidget/mizuho It's not finished yet. The Juvia site key and URL are currently hardcoded in the source.

The submitter probably just meant "Disqus-like commenting server".

I just added a 'Reply to this comment' button because so many people asked for it.

No it's not a final decision, but I'm not going to write support for it so feel free to contribute. That said I did add a 'Reply to comment' button a few minutes ago by popular dem…

I wrote it mainly because I found Disqus and IntenseDebate too limiting, not because of concerns about hosting or data ownership. I'm trying to implement per-section commenting for…

The program in question is not a conforming program in the first place. It's the Ruby interpreter and it does all kinds of low-level stuff. alloca(0) is called from the garbage col…

You're right, but would alloca(0) be undefined behavior or simply implementation-specific behavior? I think the latter would make more sense, and if so then alloca(0)'s behavior sh…
