You didn't read the commentary at all, did you? Incredibly minimal damage, no 'mass hysteria' at all.

Although I completely agree that QWERTY is poor and Workman looks like a very good system, I'm in my late 50s and think it would be a painfully slow process to get used to a different key layout. And I don't seem to get RSI. But w

IMO there's one primary reason Nvidia does not release open source drivers, and never will, despite whatever they say now. It has nothing to do with lawyers, or protecting hardware secrets - that's all just smokescreen to obscure

Electrolytic caps go bad when left unpowered for long intervals. The plates depolarize - but can be usually be restored by slowly raising the applied voltage. Gear that has been left off for years should be slowly powered up over a day or t

As usual, it's pretended to be all about 'protecting the children'. Yet Freedom Hosting sets up an independent, unmonitored bank (Onion Bank), and ONE MONTH LATER gets destroyed. Actually it's all about control of money.

If 'kickstart fund the Plug, to obtain cloud-like secure home storage' is code-speak for 'kickstart fund the purchase of some blackmarket nukes, and vaporize the NSA datacenters' then this just might work. But seriously,

Bah. Both those patents are just basically traditional linear feedback shift register systems, plus some fudging to try and make the results better.

Being naturally suspicious, I can't help wondering why the Broadcom chip on the Raspberry Pi doesn't have full technical specs publicly available. Seriously, why not?

What I found unexpected about the Raspberry Pi, was that the CPU chip is closed - very little data available on what's in it. Suddenly 'discovered' hardware RNG being a case in point.

Well that's interesting. I didn't even know there was such a thing on this site. All net forums have owners, and almost all have defacto restricted topics - things the owners simply won't allow. In many cases, one of the rest

As serious as all this is (very), and how much of a hero he is (great), I do still wish someone would buy him a horizontal striped red and white t-shirt and cap. He even _looks_ like Waldo.

Finally. Though I too suspect the NSA must be using some form of dense, long-lifetime data-in-solid storage technology that we haven't been told of. I can believe them storing 'all comms' in real time using hard disks, but I

Same old invalid assumption error as is always made, and which underlies thinking the Fermi Paradox is a paradox. A mistake so universally made by humans that it's probably an instinctive cognitive bias - assuming 'intelligent l

Good news. I'm OK with Windows - I'd rather be enraged with Microsoft, than with the Million Monkey syndrome.

Personally I don't think Microsoft's primary agenda is to produce user-enabling products. Imo their desire is to produce user-hobbling products; products that slow down or preferably reverse the knowledge-empowering potential of computing m

I wasn't sure that was the same paper, due to the different title and somewhat different list of authors. Even though the subject matter is the same.
