Something that is needed here and probably many places is competition in Public Transport. I imagine a time where it will be cheaper to have your electric car drive you into work than to catch a train, then drives itself home and charges un

So does this imply touchescreens with the iOS Gaming Center to come?

I understand your point now and reread that end section 3 of the article. The authors seem to imply that it is possibly resultant from a toolkit which a) doesn't implement the generation of provable primes correctly and therefor b) doesn't

They do mention that the lower depth results of the tree could be from bad entropy on a CSPRNG. Which is what I'm making my comment from. There may be a potential flaw in an implementation e.g CRT. My comment was in regards to crypto usage

The responsible version of software are armchair cryptographers or average programmers trying to get things to 'work'. I bet this all results simply using OpenSSL with a SAMPLE to seed a PRNG or a bad seed of 0's. To see if it could potenti

And the retort to the author would be the case of the PS3 and ECDSA. Using low entropy PRNGs at all is the _REAL_ problem.

The whole title is horrible because of its not even related to the outcome of the experiment/paper. Ron and Whit are neither both right nor both wrong, nothing in the article even came close to proving such a title. Using bad entropy is wro

No it certainly does not. This source linked paper in fact says the opposite. Taking time to read the paper results in a fun experiment without any cryptographic breaks. Low entropy randoms = bad keys, for all Asymmetric and Symmetric keys.

Are trying to imply that deep down everyone inherently would choose theft over remuneration? Or that we all would prefer a world where everything is free? Piracy exists sorely due to bad business models, where it is distribution of expected

I'm currently downloading this now to make a fair comparison. I always saw VLC as I see VIM, it's an editor, it's great for editing, but it's not an IDE. My sudden though upon seeing this is something similar, VLC is a great media player, b

It can be frustrating when having a minimalist workspace. The frustrations occur from having no Finder windows open and accidentally CMD+Tabbing to it (quickly). Finder doesn't have to be the First item available in the Application switcher

On the contrary I find it quite pleasant, but it all relies on the having Caps Lock bound to Control.

I'm under the impression that you can only purchase 1 per person (or per transaction?). So group and bulk buys are out of the question. 10,000 units might last a bit longer than 1-2 hours, but only time will tell.

What exact issues have you had with Origin? Although it is almost completely featureless, I've never ran into any issues with it. It pretty much just keeps the game up to date and launches (in the case of BF3) your browser.

From what I've read about Dotcom he seems like a shady guy. But in all honesty, how is he worth persuing over some drug cartel in a different country. (Note: I'm not making an opinion on whether drugs should be legal or illegal). Was it rea

While I find there are some good features from this change, my overall feeling is that this abstracts too far away from tmux. I attempt to use the same development environment across POSIX systems and this doesn't seem to feel right to me.

If you don't mind me asking, how old are you? (a broad range will do fine if you like). What's remarkable is that the word gay actually used to mean 'carefree' or 'happy'. Asserting that it's being used as homophobic speech is incorrect. On

I'm not sure you could classify the use of the prevalent terms in those tweets as homophobia. Words also evolve over time, I highly doubt those twits are implying that wikipedia prefers same-sex websites. We're seeing the evolution of words

Is it hideously loud like a lot of the other mechanical keyboards mentioned in this thread. Safe for office use?

Does anyone know of a good mechanical keyboard which also has a mouse num between the keys. Or should I be convinced of why that is such a horrible idea.

Found one of these at work that was being unused, the only criticism I have it the fact I often feel the need to clean it as dirt and hair on white is extremely visible. And with the transparent sides you can see every minuscule particle.

Why is this easier than making ~/lib/java-latest softlinked to ~/lib/jdk1.6.0_30 then just re-linking to the one you want to use while having export JAVA_HOME=~/lib/java-latest in ~/*rc . At least this way it isn't ubuntu specific and you d

Just now I was able to select the previous sentence with about 3 keypresses. Copy and paste would be a standard ctrl-c/ctrl-v. No worrying about mode, or counting characters j-V-p = 4 which is a lot less than 3+2+2 of what you descri
