Thesaurus··on Saturn V Flight Manual (1969) [pdf]
Sick irony dude, mad original.
Thesaurus··on Why Google wants to replace Gmail
Why are people allowed to post links to computerworld on here? The site is right behind buzzfeed in zero content click bait "list-articles". I really hope the admins start moderating bottom feeding "news" websites from HN.
Thesaurus··on [dead]
This is blatant SJW psyops that has nothing to do with the nature of this website.
Thesaurus··on Lennart Poettering on the state of open source communities
Torvalds needs to tone down nothing. The Kernel would be utter shit if he wasn't cracking the whip on people. I personally find his language on LKML hysterical and enlightening; he writes well too. I appreciate when people are honest and don't sugar coat things.

I wasn't aware Torvalds uses G+, shame on him for doing so. The comment was more about the absurd policies the user signs off on to use the service more than the lack of source code, not that that isn't an issue.

HN being closed source is a bummer. I respect a webmasters choice to refrain from publishing server side code. But considering most of the content discussed on HN, it is hypocritical. As unethical as HN is from a FOSS standpoint, I can't turn away from a site where the user-base falls on the right side of a bell curve for I.Q. Too good to pass up.

Thesaurus··on Why Apple's iPhone encryption won't stop NSA
There's a thing called PRISM in case OP forgot. Get this click-bait off of here.
Thesaurus··on Lennart Poettering on the state of open source communities
Pottering needs to toughen up if he wants to dictate the majority of userland. His attachment to Google+ is a bit annoying from a FOSS perspective too.
Thesaurus··on OS X Bash Update 1.0
>Disclosure was on the 24th, today is the 29th. The patch had to be developed in-between

Apple didn't make the patch they just repackaged it. That's five days to write a dozen lines of script to update the shell. Every single GNU/Linux distro was patched the day of, get real.

>I felt it was 50/50 that they'd update it vs. remove/disable it.

Remove it for what ash/sh? Tim Cook doesn't know a megabit from a megabyte, let alone a shell. That pencil pusher doesn't care about his users, only the money. This was only patched for PR. Still no sight of it on the automatic updates list.

Thesaurus··on Re: CVE-2014-6271 – remote code execution through bash
I just patched my CentOS 6 server a few hours ago. Double check yum.
Thesaurus··on Re: CVE-2014-6271 – remote code execution through bash
Very thankful this made it out today.
Thesaurus··on Loyalty Nearly Killed My Beehive
I can't believe I read that whole thing, it was written so well. Quite informative and very interesting.
Thesaurus··on MIT Students Battle State's Demand for Their Bitcoin Miner's Source Code
Is there another website other than wired with this article?
Thesaurus··on Illinois judge rules police entitled to SWAT raid over parody Twitter account
Police state.
Thesaurus··on Tim Cook on iMessage Security: It’s Encrypted, and We Don’t Have a Key
Jobs is rolling over in his graves, Cook is a shill. Jobs kept the five-eyes out of Apple's shit until he croaked.
Thesaurus··on A professor who got inside Anonymous
Bought a dog.
Thesaurus··on AppleID password brute force proof-of-concept
It's sad that there aren't legal requirements for security hardening. There are massive corporations which retain sensitive information that are low hanging fruit for script kiddies.
