Haven't tested to see how they are doing, but that's kinda orthogonal to using tor. Standard cryptography like https uses is meant so any eavesdroppers don't know WHAT you are talking about. But they still know that Alice is

Just like a kernel written in C is a big block of assembly code, right? You can isolate any unsafe blocks into small functions, with the smallest scope needed. Same as you would do for asm blocks in C. This is good because it calls attentio

It's not a matter of the size of the period, but of the size of the seed. To be able to generate all shuffles, you need to seed with at least 226 bits.

But what if you weren't going to buy it because you were not aware it existed? When you see an ad for an interesting movie and decide to check it out, you go watch it, and love it, are you really worse off? Maybe you see an ad for a ne

The Comics Code Authority was not part of the government, but it was a censor. Can you explain your use of the word censorship to only mean when the government does it? And sure, it's just one single website, it's in their rights

Yes, in Brazil we have phone apps for calling regular taxis, and at least in the big cities, it's great. You end up with all the regulation that regular taxis have, plus the apps normally have a rating system, so drivers end up caring

Using goto as the only loop construct is too easy, you can statically know where your code is going all the time. It would be more fun to use setjmp longjmp from C, where you can dynamically assign where a label is pointing to, and it works

Well, but screen size is an issue with "wrist phone". People like being able to watch videos, and reading stuff on their : "pocket phones". If anything, phone screens have been getting bigger.

But there were giant squid bodies long before we managed to find a live specimen. We also found many beaks on sperm whale stomachs that showed they did exist. So while a great discovery, there was reasonable evidence of it's existence
