Dunno but ya filling in nicely, bro!
Not so
"An SSL certificate certifies that a given domain name maps to an IP address"
No, an SSL certificate certifies that the entity whose distinguished name (which may or may not include a domain name) appears in the certificate is actually in possession of the private key corresponding to the public key in the certificate.
We are not talking DNSSEC here. Though we might.
Another false flag operation, more like.

Good luck with that
"This leads me nicely to the point someone made above. To someone like me, if I want to jump onto enterprise programming, I can do so and get things done properly within 3-6 months even"
That's for various level of "properly". In other words: No. But you *may* be starting off on the good road.
I don't know of any other engineering sector in which young people assume that they can do something "properly" in 6 months. In 6 months you will just have survived the first horrendous pile up.
Now go fetch me some coffee.
AND!
With some luck you will be wheeled straight from the doorstep of the retirement home to a consulting position.
Win!
I remember a Bob The Dinosaur. He could code COBOL and point to errors in stacks of RPG 80-column horrors but if you tried to ask him something, he just mumbled incoherently like a version of Alan Greenspan until you went away. He eloquently complained about the young ones though.

These are not script kiddies installing r57.php via Joomla driveby.
These are the kind of people I dread to find on my servers and this only because they wanted me to.
And who was that bot herder who died? Wouldn't surprise me; these circles are shady and not filled with nice people. I remember the story of the german carder dude who suicided out of the blue in a public park. Hagbard was it?
Holy shi*!
It all makes sense now!

AnonyTurk or TurkSec or LulzTurk?
They are not hackers, they are defacers.
Anyone who feels the Freudian Itch to put his nationality in front of his "exploits" is dubious at best anyway.

Seriously El Reg, how long did you keep that one in the drawer waiting for the right moment?
Go for it!
1) Go to cryptome.org, download
2) Spend a couple hours scripting and setting up website on 127.0.0.1 (finally an occasion to use Lucene!)
3) ???
4) Search!

Bestest overview in Der Spiegel:
"A Dispatch Disaster in Six Acts"

Woah.
Well, with this kind of stuff I guess the DA will just *have* to start a criminal investigation against Apple.
Next: iPhone 5 lost on plane during rendition flight of a truculent employee. Film at 11.
Why oh why
Why are people afraid of saying what "superposition" is?
It's just a vector of length 1, with complex-valued coefficients.
It lies on the unit sphere of an N-dimensional vector space.
Each dimension of that vector space represents the state of the system.
If the vector lies perfectly aligned with one of the axis, the system is in a definite state. Otherwise it is in a superposition.
For example, the qubit can be in states 0 or 1.
This gives a 2-dimensional complex vector space, with the state vector on a "circle" (actually a 4-d real sphere)
A system with 2 qubits can be in states 00 01 10 or 11.
This gives a 4-dimensional complex vector space, with the state vector on a 4-D complex sphere.
Etc.
The quantum computer rotates that vector according to some linear differential equation.
For "observation", in the simplest case, you take the coordinates of the vector along each of the principal axes for 00, 01, 10, 11 (this is a complex number). Take the length of the complex number, square it. This is the classical probability of "observing" the system to be in respective classical state 00, 01, 10, 11.
Given that you want to solve a problem, you will set things up so that one of the axes is solution that you seek (evidently, it corresponds to a bitpattern). So you want your quantum computer to follow the linear differential equation that gives you the correct bitpattern with reasonable good probability upon "observation".
And this is actually an extension of classical probability theory, it's just that nature apparently likes complex numbers: working with real-valued probabilities and state vectors moving on planes in an N-dimensional real state space is tired.
Now, what kind of algorithms can be build with this extended probability calculus?
Fast factorization. Simulation of quantum systems. Fast lookup in databases. Any other.. ?
How to solve the "find the differential equation for my problem"? How to map the differential equation to the architecture described in the article? There is work to do!!
Peachy 2!
A Dispatch Disaster in Six Acts
http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,783778,00.html
I'm sorry?
My hypocrisy meter is keeping stum except when I point it in the Guardian's direction where it goes off-scale.
Who exactly stole something from whom? Do we have Intellectual Property issues here? Maybe patents? Could you clarify?
Peachy!

"they could have been edited and published on the net for free"
Just what
101st keyboarder! Yes, you! Now get out and wash your mouth!
You seem to be one of those "überhackers" phoning in cussword-laden advice from your sunlight-isolated neckbeard control room.
Why not submit a consulting offer to kernel.org?
This is why we can't have nice things
CEO with egos bigger than Will Smith's dong, playing either revolving door buddies or repeatedly hammering the Nuke Everything Now button through Induhlectual Proberty lawsuits decided by confused juries. A pox on all their houses.

Already!
So what?
They need to be READ at some point in time, too.
Courage Wolf!
"We are even?"
"Leak names of Anonymous"
"NOW WE ARE ODD!"
Oh the Guardian and its hack are TEH INNOCENT
Yes, assume the file is "temporay", then write the password to it into a ghostwritten book. Elementary security measures? Nah!
I hear Mr. Leigh also sold the book rights to some Hollywoodian company? Strike the iron while hot etc.
Recycled Guardian pap!
"we have to decide, as a society, if we think that allowing governments access to the location of their citizens is a risk worth taking in exchange for the benefits it gives"
Who is that "we" who has to decide. What does "as a society" mean?
Hold on, someone from a TLA is at the lobby window.
Why is the MPAA employing spambots?
It's bad form, really.
"Who is Google One?" "You are Google Six!"
Schmittchen's sayings are pretty schizotastic (let's stay charitable here). He will certainly be getting hearings and success in the corridors of power. And he has been thinking about the problems of identity since the Internet was telnet, usenet and IRC? Somewhat an authoritarian mindest here, wouldn't you think?
At least Google comes clean about what it wants.
NO! I DON'T WANNA BE A GOOGLE NUMBER!
The guys crack me up.
"The DoJ said Oracle had misrepresented its true commercial sales practices – meaning government customers received deals on worse terms than customers in the private sector."
If Oracle was busing empty fuel drums in circles through Iraq and then bill 200 USD/km, no-one would notice.
But a known overly expensive shrink-wrapped EULA with a download link? Well, sure, we want the best deal on THAT.
"thank fuck they only build software"
Probably the same class-o-dude who rants like hell about the missing "software quality" when the latest quicksave results in lost data and a DirectX11 crash.
Engineers. They were something in Brunel's time.
This is not the weapon shop of Isher you are looking for
"DARPA's principal customer – the American warfighter"
Isn't DARPA a taxpayer-funded outfit that is allocated money seized from the populace to come up with stuff the that military-industrial-congressional-entertainment complex can make money off?
The "American warfighter" ("soldier" no longer Rambo enough, I see) is the dumb sod who ends up with his gonads blown off, so he is definitely NOT the customer.
Except when he finally needs those futuristic prosthetic limbs.
Blilliant!
We find abandoned station in olbit, tow it away. Nobody complain.
You want buy?
Conspiracy Theory!
Wouldn't be it far easier, not to mention less consumer-rage inducing, to sell those tables at below price in the first place?
Additionally, that "f'ing loads of WebOS users" comprises the people who persuaded themselves to buy WebOS material out of the rejects bin. How many are that and do they care about whether WebOS?
Considering....
...that the US senate has recently gone out of its way to moon the Russians concerning the two breakaway Georgian republics and demanded that something-or-other happen about which the US has no authority (except in McCain's fever dreams), one can only hope that the Bear does not accidentally another whole rocket or start demanding cold, hard cash (and not in the form of greenbacks or T-bills) for successful launches, as it is wont to do.
Quite the pertinent remark
New opportunities for social engineering, too.
Really!
Do you want an empty El Reg comment section?
Well...
A passage from "Herbert West, Reanimator"?
Why do you need the FLOP count anyway?
Isn't that, like, integer processing that we want here?
Oh well.
I think even I have received that one.
As the company is too small to have a recruitment plan at all, I wasn't fooled.
Posted in Java arrives on Heroku code cloud
Slow down! Right now!
No you mentioned that it was a J2EE container. Which it clearly isn't.
Why aren't you rebuilding the application stack?
I mean, you have the whole weekend.
EU outlaws winters to reduce CO_2 emissions. Apparently winters go on regardless.
Wake me up when this becomes relevant to the real world.
Posted in Java arrives on Heroku code cloud
Actually...
Jetty is just a "servlet container", i.e. a callback mechanism where the call just happens to be a HTTP request. Nothing particularly fancy.
A J2EE container is old-school anyway (so ugly and 2000). Today, we have "JEE" containers. And they contain services for messaging, naming, database access (EJB3), code injection, AOP, and whatnot. They also contain HTTP callback handling.
None of this is necessarily needed of course. And some of it should really be rolled back into the standard JVM environment, in particular some of the annotation-based facilities.
Woah! No information on the Apache httpd frontpage?
Is the webmaster kicking it back in the Carribean?
Holy shit, in this world you gotta make decisions?
"And how is an ordinary home user supposed to choose a Linux distro? For a start, which one's best? Which one does everything they need?"
GTFOffMyLawn, kid.
"If you don’t want to be searched, don't come through customs."
Why not abolish customs?
Other people's money?
"it belongs to the shareholders, not the execs"
learn2capitalism
The execs have been tasked by the shareholders to perform daily biz operations. If the shareholders didn't demand an emergency shareholder meeting concerning the above problem, payout it shall be.
"It may be a stupid law, but the point is that it currently *is* the Law"
Only an ass has respect for a the law that is ass.
"These are not the exploits your are looking for"
Thus we are led to the conclusion that the Reg staff is absent from office and phoning in the copies larded with unnecessary hyperbole while having no exact idea what the hell is actually going on?
Say it ain't so!
