If PyPi was compromised like RubyGems I'm not sure they'd be more able to reliably recover from it quickly either. PyPi does support package signing (with GPG) but pip doesn't support signature verification and hardly any packages are actua

That is a false dichotomy. There are plenty of nice ways of working with closures with the given syntax.

It's something like 150x what Oxfam raise each year so I suspect it seems a lot more significant to them.

What if there was no mention of the penalty they were seeking in negotiations or it was left highly ambiguous? In that situation I could see a public press release announcing that you might face 35 years in prison as quite threatening.

It doesn't go direct to Big Picture mode though and you still have to click through UAC and firewall alerts when launching newly installed games quiet frequently. Having full control of the software stack lets them take out quite a friction

/dev/random is not "raw entropy" it goes through the exact same mixing and (SHA-1) compression stages that /dev/urandom does. It just happens to block if there's not much entropy in the pool at the start. Source: http://eprint.iacr.org/201

I really liked the 48fps version too. It has so many advantages over 24fps, especially in 3D. I would quite like to see a 48fps 3D version if only for the increased brightness but that doesn't appear to be a thing yet :( I guess they had to

I thought jailbreaking was legal now? [1] It seems to me that both jailbreaking and pirating iOS apps is a pretty common activity even among non-technical people. Obviously OS level DRM like iOS makes it harder for people but people still s
