PS3 firmware 3.56 hacked in less than a day, Sony's lawyers look confused (update)

Sony's taken some strong steps against PS3 cracking in the past week -- not only has it taken to the courts and won a temporary restraining order against Geohot and fail0verflow for cracking the console, but it also released firmware 3.56, which locked things down again. Unfortunately, that restraining order doesn't mean anyone else has to stop a-crackin', and wouldn't you know it: 3.56 was

How to cancel the closing of your Silverlight application (in-browser and out-of-browser)

It’s almost two years ago when I wrote about the concept of canceling the the closing of a Silverlight application. In that era I was only trying to solve the problems that exist inside the browser. Like someone who accidently closes the tab, or types a new url in the tab of the Silverlight application. These things aren’t always a problem, but in Line of Business applications you would at least

Unit testing in Silverlight

My team is working on a Silverlight project for the last three months. One of the first issues we encountered was unit testing for the Silverlight libraries.Unfortunately, this issue is not trivial. Current dev tools, including the VSTS do not support running tests in the traditional way. In order for a Silverlight test to run, it needed to be hosted inside a web page. This is quite problematic

Localizing Silverlight applications

Introduction to Globalization and LocalizationA decade or two ago, it was cool to use terms like "global village", "information superhighway" and so forth. Now they're clichés. A few years ago, if a small scale enterprise had clients from across the globe, it was considered to be a step ahead of others. Today it's commonplace to have clients and branch offices scattered across the globe. As a

Top 7 Myths about HTTPS

Myth #7 – HTTPS Never CachesPeople often claim that HTTPS content is never cached by the browser; perhaps because that seems like a sensible idea in terms of security. In reality, HTTPS caching is controllable with response headers just like HTTP. Eric Lawrence explains this succinctly in his IEInternals blog:It comes as a surprise to many that by-default, all versions of Internet Explorer will

Enumerating resources from a native library via WinAPI

This weekend I was thinking about writing a tool that would extract icons from a library or executable. As you know, some system libraries (like shell32.dll or user32.dll) have integrated resources, that can be bitmaps, icons, cursors and whatnot. The reason why I needed those icons is to be able to build consistent UIs with the Windows OS instance I am currently running. It appeared to me a

Modeling InnoDB Scalability on Multi-Core Servers

Mtt Keep’s blog post on InnoDB-vs-MyISAM benchmarks that Oracle recently published prompted me to do some mathematical modeling of InnoDB’s scalability as the number of cores in the server increases. Vadim runs lots of benchmarks that measure what happens under increasing concurrency while holding the hardware constant, but not as many with varying numbers of cores, so I decided to use Mat Keep’s

Unit Testing ASP.NET MVC Routes

Two things I always encourage customers to do are;Always delete the default route pattern after a File –> New project. This helps you focus on designing your routes throughout your site, and helps reduce SEO-unfriendly routes etc. Always unit test your routing table.For number two, this is because it is so easy to have a route that looks like this;/products/{productname}/{action}… and then a
