[www.techspot.com] The worst countries when it comes to throttling BitTorrent traffic

So my country is not net neutral - only second worse behind South Korea. But I shall not stop downloading via Torrent because it rocks! (since file sharing sites are not as dependable as they did many years ago)

Shaping on South Korea's fibre connections is still better than the unshaped connections in many countries though lol.

my quotation mark key is sticky

How do snake-oil vendors of security software manage to stay in business without being shut down by law enforcement?

Bottlenecking applies to individual connections to each seed and leech. So if a seed is transmitting a file to you at 100 kbps, a 75% reduction will mean you receive 25 kbps. Your seeding speed is also affected. So if the unshaped download is, say, 800 kbps, the Korean download speed would be ~200 kbps even if their overall download speed is 10Gbps or whatever.

Yeah but if everyone is seeding on a 1Gbps connection and its shaped to 250Mbps, that will still be faster than most people on the planets connection. Whereas 90% of all content in Australia is effectively shaped.

I like the idea, but the linux distro which can't be installed from USB easily in 2014 is preposterous.

So it's essentially what Microsoft has had since... Forever?


To be honest it's a very weak feature, since it's trying to defeat bad programming which is very hard to do and the solution they have given is easy to "break" out of, even worse if they do not have an installer that will install things for you and a watchdog you will see programs break _ALL_ the time.

Also why do people try to ruin a perfectly fine philosophy aka UNIX philosophy, with their "NONONO BUT OUR STANDARD IS BETTER, EVEN THOUGH IT DOES NOTHING WHAT THE OTHER STANDARDS DOES"

I really need a new laptop. :/

Researcher Dana Taylor recently disclosed three vulnerabilities found in Oracle's Forms and Reports products, which if exploited would allow an attacker access to the victim's server, or worse, their entire network.

The issues were discovered and reported responsibly in 2011. But in the years since, Taylor - an Information Security Specialist for the University of Pennsylvania - feels that Oracle hasn't done enough to protect customers. So she has opted for Full Disclosure of the vulnerabilities and the steps needed to reproduce them.

"After working with Oracle starting about 2 years ago, they refused to treat these vulnerabilities as serious and didn’t appropriately address them. If you give a vulnerability a rating of medium/low it is likely not going to get any attention drawn to it by those who manage Oracle servers. I showed Oracle the videos of getting a remote shell on one of their vulnerable systems and they didn’t budge from their current stance."

It's like Oracle is really trying to become one of those stereotiped evil corporations you see in movies and comics
I assume they will soon change their motto from "Information Driven" to "If It Wasn't For You Meddling Kids!"

Programming OpenGL literally gives me headaches sometimes. And yet it's such an incredibly fun api to screw around with.

They have had an extremely laid back approach to updates and security for years. Most large orgs don't mind that much, as they might only update their servers once every six months.

I hope that my h@h client would generate more hath

So, today I learned that in java, access modifiers count on the class level, and not on the object level. So it's perfectly possible to directly access an object's private fields if that object is used within an object of the same class. Wow. Really, I had no clue about that. This'll make it so much cleaner to make copy constructors...

HTML TADS seem to be dying out. Ironic that when Visual Novels are just about entering mainstream in the west, the art of interactive fiction is well on the way to being lost.

If you really want to learn java install and boot apache tomcat, then install apache ant and a database (say postgre SQL). Now write one JSP that will get data in one table of that DB and display in HTML. Use spring dependecy injection, log4j, and jdbc; i.e. install all dependencies and write an ant makefile to build it all. If you manage that (without eclipse, netbeans, whatev) you're a better java developer than 80% of all java developers.

Later you try to do the same using python django or ruby on rails. Then you discover that it took you 10% of the time needed to do it in java, and never use java again.

A word "multi polyglot" should me made for hackers. Polyglot starts at 3 languages, a decent programmer knows at least 10.

There's a Nyancoin now...

I can't decide if developers are becoming commodities or if developers have the only tech job that will retain value in the future.

How someone manages to screw up something that big?

You just answered your own question. <.<

Scalability sucks

theres one app that keeps to amaze me
