How can I circumvent the lack of Java updates? @vlad Ah see, "have a bunch of computers which need Java for some important software..." and "simple surfing" just isn't matching up. You shouldn't be allowing people to surf the internet from unpatched machines running important software... |

Is Using MD5 Sufficient Reason to Reject This Payment Processor? I must admit I'm not all that familiar with the way APIs sign their request. It just seems weird to me that the thing being used to verify integrity is being sent over the same form. I guess some reading up is in order. |

Sharing Nmap scan results in a web page @grauwulf Sure, but I have never found myself in the middle ground where I need something different. It's either a large project where I have to do multiple scans, in which case the msframework works wonders, or a small enough one where I just dump the files in a directory and use CLI tools like ndiff. |
