The comments about RdRand being impossible to verify because it's on-chip seem quite reasonable. (Although Intel have tried to be quite open about how it works. https://sites.google.com/site/intelrdrand/refere

So apps should have a sort of ELO ranking where they fight with apps in the same category (possibly multiple categories simultaneously) for dominance and the fight is implemented as which app gets bought when displayed to a user at the same

Given that you send your password in platin text to Apple whenever you login this does not seem like a particularly interception resistant protocol. Apple just need to wait until you login again and then send the encrypted data, and your pa

I am more comfortable knowing the salary of people around me. I often run into people who are massively underpaid and having good people leave because they feel like the company simply doesn't pay enough is awful. (I've also met some not p

Wow. That does seem to require a crazy 512-bit wide bus though. The info I can find on HMC seems like it is achieving these speeds on a 16-bit bus and with much lower power requirements than even DDR3 so far.

Make commands can also be written in Python... I'm not saying using Fabric is a bad idea, just that about all it shares with Make is being a vaguely useful place to namespace a bunch of commands.

`yes` will do the same thing. It's just accumulating all the output from yes inside your shell. The yes command is actually pretty crappy for making fork bombs.

Why does http://color.hailpixel.com/#C00000 get immediately translated to http://color.hailpixel.com/#C20000 ? The last value seems to always get changed when you enter your own hex codes.
