I think it depends on what your end-goal is. If you're interested in creating a production application that uses Crypto, you should use existing high-level systems, and learn how to minimize your own areas of vulnerability. (Similar to

I find 3.4 much easier to use, personally. I've written several production apps in it, and the unicode fixes in particular are a much easier, as well as little things like being able to do enums. Ultimately, they really aren't all

Sorry for being confusing - I don't disagree it's popular model. What I don't understand is why Apple's baseline model has 16GB. It seems like flash memory can be had very cheaply - Amazon shows several examples of 64GB

Given that Apple still sells an 16GB iPhone (for some baffling reason) I wonder what percentage of users will not have the necessary 4GB of unused space. Anecdotally, Several of my officemates have had this issue.

Forgive me, but I'm not really sure why this is getting so much attention. It's certainly a bad bug, and it ought to have been caught. But it feels like this would be much harder to exploit than many other bugs which have had far

I apologize – I'm on mobile, so I can't really look carefully right now, but if you don't have time to run the site, perhaps you could convert it to something with lower maintenance, like YouTube channel?

I tend to be rather language agnostic, but URLs should generally be a descriptor of the content, and leak as few technological details as possible. In general, having the URL include a specific implementation quirk, such as index.php makes

I started saving/clipping entire articles for this purpose. Evernote has a 'clipper' functionality which works fairly well, or you can print to PDF.

Not to discount your point about retail availability, but this appears to use the M.2 (NGFF) format, which has been widely praised (outside of any Apple context) as an industry-standard approach to flash memory. http://www.anandt

Sadly, that's my understanding, yes :/ If you read forum reports, it seems people are activating it by using IMEI numbers from other tablets and whatnot, but Verizon is not making it easy, or (IMO) living up to their contractual o

My understanding is that Verizon is required by the FCC to allow any device on their network, as a result of Google hijinks in 2008. That said, enforcing it is another matter. http://buzzmachine.com/2013/09/17&#x2F

I've been working on using GPG behind-the-scenes, so I can speak to a few reasons why it might not be used more frequently. 1) GPG is -terrible- to use as a library. There are a lot of wrappers for various languages. Almost most all of
