Using bash?
as long as it isn't a man in the middle attack.
no way, I went through a lot of effort to get networking running, we're gonna have more than two users!

It's pretty much the only digital distrobuter of video games.
Now if only they'd do movies too.
Java :rotate:
Oh man, this shit makes me so mad.
Did you know that (unless you replace the stock JCE with BouncyCastle) JDK 6 & 7 will only do crypto up to 1024-bits, even with the "unlimited" policy file? This isn't a big problem for most people, unless you want to use DH key-exchange parameters that haven't been hacked by the NSA for SSH, IPSec, etc.
I fortunately don't have to write the Java :rotate: myself, but the box I work on has to connect with my company's management software, which is all Java. I got the primary one to switch to BouncyCastle, but the other big one won't do it (or upgrade to JDK 8).
Dev: I can't write to the team share.
...
Me: Yes I'm still copying data once that's done you'll have access on \\domain\devteam
Dev: Ok can you update the thread when that happens?
Me: (grinds teeth) Yes I will be updating the thread.

Including Skylake?
If you're using a newer CPU, you have to be using windows 10 to get microsoft support as a business user. Stop using Windows 8 you chucklefucks.
I guess.
I dunno.
I mean I'm no frogrammer but I don't get the impression that there's much of headache in supporting older procs. AMD64 is AMD64, right?

People like this are why I double-space after every sentence in my emails. They're not fucking capable of reading.
As an operating system? Probably just overhead.
Patching is annoying across multiple systems, the code should be relatively identical since they're all built on the NT kernel.
Wait, this notice is a real thing? It immediately registers in my mind as a shitty malware click-bait prompt, partly due to the god-awful GUI but mostly because of the phrase "unlimited strength policy files". That is not terminology I would ever expect to come across outside a TV show's sad attempt to incorporate real tech in dialogue.
Why the hell would you ever have a policy-based upper limit on crypo bit strength? What conceivable use case does that cover?
Java :rotate:
Mind explaining more?
<--- n00b
US restricted export of encryption methodologies outside of the US. Only 'good' nations could/can get them. Libya was a prime example of one of those restricted countries.
This was Sun's method of enforcing it and removing their culpability in violating US export restrictions.
It was worse than that, it wasn't just "good nations can use" it was "to ship these bits to someone outside of the US you need an end user certificate", you know, cause crypto is a weapon and all.
As to why it's still around, my guess would be organisational momentum.
Yeah, this is about reducing testing and code overhead. There's probably some compatibility techniques they're using on older versions. Part of the drive to move to "latest version support only" to prevent the massive headaches of the past and give businesses (and especially the enterprise) a kick in the pants to keep their stuff updated.
How it ended up in Java 7 is probably organizational momentum. Or they didn't want to use any resources to re-write the JCE. But BouncyCastle is way better anyway, they should have just made it the default.
They want a second detailed breakdown of my work as a more in depth resume but I'm being moved to the second phone interview once they get that.
