In my happy little fantasy world, CS patents should lose their validity if a bachelor CS student/group of students can recreate the fundamentals (for a course/thesis project), without knowledge of the patent. 1 click buying probab

Not sure how you're computing benefits of the tunnels... Those tunnels cut travel time to the capital from 1h14 to 16 min. Moreover, you don't have to travel by car+ferry+car, you simply drive. I reckon the increased accessibility

My point is that that is not the worst case. Example of a worse case: the attacker knows that + the first 2 characters of your password (real-life example). The worst case would probably be something like "attacker knows hash, passwd a

We recently performed a large study on fragmentation on the NTFS file system [1]. On NTFS, we found that slightly over a quarter (26.8%) of FLV files were fragmented. So if EXT4 performs similarly, it would be far more common not to have f

The information isn't helpful. If the paper wanted to make a case for this star being a candidate for the signal's origin, the paper should have at least discussed the expected probability of finding such a start in such a volume

Interestingly, Eindhoven University of Technology did use (more-or-less) Dijkstra's approach throughout the 90s. Sure, there were some odd bits, but the core of the curriculum was Dijkstra style. Not sure what they're doing today.
