No, the queen's speech was broadcast at 3pm (BBC1, ITV). Channel 4's alternative message was at 4.15pm. They have broadcast alternate messages at the same time before, like when the Simpsons did it - just not this year.

Yup, I used spook.el back then too. And as I said, Stoll had suspicions - he thought the NSA listened to all the traffic, and why not - it was all unencrypted telnet sessions. But the common impression then was that the NSA knew how to crac

While that makes them the same stream, it doesn't actually solve the problem. Many systems will write to stdout buffered, but stderr unbuffered, so that writes are visible when the program crashes. Redirecting streams at the shell leve

This morning I spoke to someone who had installed it; it had SMSd everyone in her contacts, and she was understandably not too happy. It's not just an assumption that they're misusing permissions. You are asking the author to assu

The Copenhagen wheel was announced 4 years ago, and since then we've had copycats like the FlyKly back in October( http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/flykly/flykly-smart-whee... ). In case, like me, you wonder

I'm not sure that there would be much call for that. Surely the time taken to parse the input is a tiny fraction of the time taken to perform analyses with this data? The one calculation given that's long-running is parsing the en

Any hint as to how this differs from other parallel Monte Carlo algorithms? Or is it an application of those methods to big data? (People were doing parallel Monte Carlo at least as far back as the early 90s - my own research topic on exact

Thanks! In my defence, the FF feature only made it into release 19 days ago and the chrome one is still 'experimental'. But great to know this is now available.
