I spotted two mistakes: it says somewhere "thought it need not be red"; should be "though". Proposition 4.022 should be called 4.002, according to my edition and another edition on the web I checked. Perhaps the Gutenberg edition you used i

I think you're forgetting the scenario where you have a lot of Python code and only a small part is performance critical. You can speed that part up with something like Cython, and directly integrate it with the rest of the code. If you wou

This approach seems to overlook the bigger picture which is that Dropbox makes sure it doesn't lose your data. Aside from that the web interface and dealing with conflicts is an important issue. Just imitating the syncing is not going to cu

I'd say you're extracting information, not meaning.

What are you talking about? You can just apt-get install skype, if you enable the partner repository. Or do you mean to say the linux skype version is not as good? Agree with you on unity.

No it does not. The license only applies to other people. As the copyright holder the choice of license does not bind you in anyway; this is why it is possible to release something under multiple licenses (say GPL & BSD), provided that

I don't get what you're saying. If the copyright holder releases something under an open source license, then he is not going to sue you for doing precisely what the license is mean to facilitate. It would only be "illegal" if if it's again

Isn't there a big difference between 'illegal' and 'not recognized/accepted'?? This doesn't prevent anyone anywhere from making and using open source software if they please.

I argued against the latter point: if you hide the encrypted message in something which is normally compressed such as JPEG or DivX, the encrypted message blends in with the rest of the data because compressed data has high entropy (the bet

I've always wondered what that package is actually used for, because programs like firefox, chromium, &c, maintain their own list of root CAs.

Solution: don't use it with plain text, but with compressed files such as photos and movies which have high entropy by virtue of their compression (if it is effective, that is).

Movies are also subtitled in the same language for the hearing impaired.

A formal proof in the sense of Hilbert's formalist program or one produced by an automated theorem prover is very different from the proofs presented in journals. The latter are full of "it is easy to see that [...]", after which they proce

That sounds rather like the DNS "NOTIFY" signal, which a master sends to its slaves (secondary nameservers) to trigger a zone transfer when DNS data has been updated. Without that secondary servers are forced to download the zone data e.g.

I took him to mean that compiler writers should provide these bit operations in the most efficient manner on the current platform, e.g. __builtin_ctzl instead of directly using assembly or using arithmetical solutions.

Quite the opposite. "Don't worry about people stealing your ideas, if they're any good you'll have to ram 'm down people's throats!" (forgot source)

The problem with this idea is that the jury is still out on the interpretation of a lot of ancient texts. Anyone summarizing them will either put their own spin on them or will tediously have to expound on all the possible interpretations.

His approach was decidedly not verificationist, but falsificationist. I do share your sentiment that he didn't really solve the problem "once and for all." I think it's wrong to neglect the context of discovery. Peirce had some nice ideas a
