That's spiders for you - their PR is obviously better than the reality!

xkcd OTD: Scientist Tech Help[^]
So ... the Alt Text references a tool to do that: convert a chart image to data plots, called WebPlotDigitizer
So of course I have to google it, because he can be quite subtle in his jokes, can Randal.
Aaaaaand ... it's a real thing: WebPlotDigitizer - Extract data from plots, images, and maps[^], and it's free, it's open source, and ... it's shown up a bug in Codeproject graphing. 
Other than that, it works, and pretty damn well! 
But I hate it when he does that ... I'm sure I'll spend entirely too much time playing with it!

Thats nice/interesting tool to reverse engineer graph. Thanks for sharing... will play with it too.

Hmmm,
Guess they got it wrong[^]. The CCC this morning got me looking at some of the old tulip driver source code[^]. Looks like for the past 16 years nobody tested the tulip driver with Jumbo frames[^]. A few months ago this patch[^] appeared. Looks like with a specially crafted jumbo frame you can have some marginal control over the buffer length passed to netdev_alloc_skb(). But it gets even better with the comparison of unsigned integer len with signed rx_copybreak.
There is a similar bug[^] on the TX side. This patch seems to have been ignored or rejected and the bug still exists in mainline kernel.
I guess millions of eyes doesn't help much if 99.99% don't understand what they are looking at.
Best Wishes,

Yes... that and "I guess millions of eyes doesn't help if 99.99% doesn't bother to have a deep look under the hood" are the arguments against the typical "Open source is better because everyone can check the code".

If this is what it boils down to, frankly there are times where I'd favor closed source if only because it automatically disqualifies the masses that are incapable of doing the reverse-engineering. One might argue open source lowers that bar.
I'm not advocating one vs the other.

Neither do I, both have advantages and disadvantages.
I just don't like the typical generalists and absolutists.
And about security... there is no 100% security, you can only try to make it so time consuming that it is not really worth to try it, but you can't completely avoid it.

Jim would beam as much Jim Beam as Jim could beam, if Jim could beam Jim Beam.

Assuming he could consume as much Jim Beam as he could beam!

Jim didn't do too well on Romulan Ale when McCoy gave him some "for medicinal purposes", so I suspect Jim would beam Jim Beam as far away from Jim as Jim could beam Jim Beam. And beam widely while he did it.

Now try it with Scottie and scotch.

Does the 24th century have "Don't drink Jim Beam and Beam" campaigns?
Confronted with a dead Jim Beam bottle, Jim would not be beaming.

Everyone knows Jim Bean isn't allowed on the Enterprise. Scotty only allows Scotch on board.
