So what's the alternative? If you've got an app that loads slowly, what are you supposed to do?

Hey guys, we've discovered that averaging a noisy signal improves results!

I've read quite a bit of Asimov, did you notice it's the same story over and over again? I, for one, welcome our new robotic overlords.

They reference Asimov. Good. His rules should provide enough inspiration and he explored them thoroughly. For example: the zeroth law (preserve humanity) might help in deciding between a child and an adult. If the adult is beyond reproducti

Looking at the proof: has the proof been formally verified? There could be a bug in that...

The Mars trilogy ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_trilogy ) is a bit dated but fun. It's fiction though.

Rebased fixes are easier to audit, so I can see an open source project preferring them. Otherwise, just freely merge to/from trunk. Prevent criss-cross merges though, those are a pain.

Yes, I'm very interested in this too. A bug like this could very well be an attack. It could also be an honest mistake, crypto is hard after all. I'm hoping someone will research this and provide a nice write-up.

Excellent article! The fact that they can reliably produce errors in most ram chips is worrying. They also provide a solution (probabilistic refresh of neighboring lines).

Maybe the client will allow you to test on their 60 core machine? You know for sure the problem happens there.

It sounds like me playing the piano. You might be fooled for a moment but it's definitely not music.

Yes, but that takes more space and is much harder to fasten correctly. This actually looks like a good product.

Combine it with a timing attack and possibly it could ;)

Should we still take the Nobel Peace Prize seriously? Obama winning it was a bit of a stretch in my opinion, though the Pax Americana is a real thing.

What a rubbish article. Without goals, how would anyone know what needs to be done? How would you know what is expected of you? If it is a generic company, the main goals are to make sure the company stays around and to make a profit. You t

I haven't played the game, but doesn't a story line that warns about current (military) infrastructure being used against the population of the U.S. itself sound very dystopian and modern? Yes, it is troubling but that's not

If sprite lamp is successful someone will write a FOSS version of it anyway. Commercializing a product takes a lot more than writing a commandline version of the algorithm. I'd say release it. There is nothing wrong with competition, c

Seriously? $29 doesn't register as real money to me. Especially from a business perspective.
