You're overestimating the significance of material left behind after death. What'll happen is children or anyone left behind will harvest the photos folder of your laptop and then throw the computer to trash. It's extremely u

Lithium (carbonate) is a very old drug, cheap to manufacture, and non-patentable. It is essentially the lithium (metal) salt of carbonate (bubbling water). It is super cheap everywhere. While you might think so, I don't think it's

What do you find confusing about these different medical conditions? Hydrocephalus is a condition that can arise from various defects in the brain, Dandy-walker is defined otherwise. Do you think that a CSF cyst is required for an individua

No wait, now I can :) As you can see, the linked article concerns treating intracranial cerebrospinal fluid cysts when treating hydrocephalus (and is effective as far as I know). Now: what does this treatment have to do with the cyst presen

The article does not ctrl-f to cysts, but I would be more interested to hear how you'd go about removing or treating a cyst in a developing brain 20-25 years ago. Any suggestions?

I'm under the impression that Marfan does not necessarily imply valvular defects. So are you certain that your doctors missed the Marfan (which is very easy to recognise in severe forms), or just that they did not bother to mention it

It should be pretty obvious: rape is like any violence, but it also involves the victim's sexuality. Now imagine fucking someone and getting flashbacks about being raped... Yeah, not so funny anymore. "PTSD" from regular beat

Yeah. While they're at it, why not change every function to return "int". Then just cast to proper type at usage. /s (And no, bool is not the proper way to go either.) But seriously, I'm amazed that code this critic

As far as I can tell: He is extremely easily amused and has a terrible case of urinary incontinence. The former will heal with age, but the latter will get worse.

Well you have the right to feel offended, but he really didn't "follow logical steps and make a fair enough point" as his idea was completely wrong when it comes to signing installation packages.
71.
by QSIITurbo 13y ago
Meh, just admit you didn't realise how packages are signed and move on. TLS shouldn't and cannot be used to sign installation packages. After all, TLS stands for _Transport Layer_ Security...

by QSIITurbo 13y ago
That's not how signing works. Also, if the signing is indeed implemented correctly, then the updater cannot have been compromised earlier.

This and the fact that they didn't release the OS X patch at the same time as the iOS patch constitutes a total FUBAR: The mistake they made was so basic that one wonders why on earth some junior / non-sec developer was working on

The app in this article is rubbish, and there are several others like it already in the app store. This was probably just an advertisement for the company, and since HN has knee-jerk reactions to anything containing the word Apple, it seems

"Still doesn't mean the authentication side is secure though." It doesn't mean it cannot be made secure, either.

Some keycards are even completely disposable (paper / cardboard), though most of them are reprogrammable (plastic). I've seen hotel personnel swipe the card to grant me access to my room (with a new and/or unique key, etc.)

"mechanical lock vulnerabilities are preserved" I've never been to a hotel that uses an ordinary key since those can be easily replicated, so that point is moot: all the electronic locks (most common these days) already have

I would feel more safe buying second hand iPhone than I would feel when buying an Android. Sure, the iPhone can also be compromised, but it is less likely. In any case, it's not Apple's responsibility to make open hardware, since

I'm not sure I follow you. ADB was ahead of its time, and a precursor to USB, but nobody's claiming it was an open protocol. What was important from an electrical engineer's POV was that the connector could be replaced using

by QSIITurbo 13y ago
So what? Being a standard connector made it easy to repair the connector. What more would you want? Implement the ADB ASIC? Why on earth would you have done that instead of licensing from Apple?

True, but DIN is about as standard as it gets. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mini-din
