This would make sense if cryptography was a young field, but this iteration and improvement has been going on for thousands of years (and modern digital cryptography has been developing for the better half of a century). It is known how to

This piqued my interest. The 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention, which outlaws the production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons, was signed by the United States on the same day it was opened, January 13th 1993 [1]. It came into force i

That's strange - my desktop background wasn't changed by the install. Perhaps you were using a ML-included desktop image that was removed in Mavericks? After downloading, it took roughly 20 mins to install.

You're right, my bad. Although I would argue that Singapore and Monaco are in a class of their own in terms of the shape of the track and the subsequent load on the driver and car. Montreal, Melbourne and Valencia don't have the s

I think choosing street circuits was a great decision. The two street circuits in F1 (Monaco and Singapore) are highly regarded by both the fans and drivers as being exciting and challenging races. On top of this, the possibility of a race

This is amazing. My first thought is this could allow F1 teams to get a much better idea of what new packages their competitors are bringing to races early on just by looking at photos and video footage and modelling the new parts.

In many cases websites that load data asynchronously through an API are much nicer to scrape, as the data is already structured for you. You don't have to go through the pain of extracting data from a mess of tables, divs and spans.

In January a similar thing was done in the UK, with the package being sent to Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian Embassy. http://wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.bitnik.org/assange/

One of the things I love about Tarsnap is the bug bounties, which range from $2000 for being able to decrypt user data right down to $1 for cosmetic issues.

The 2006 era Apple Mighty Mouse had two buttons. It was just designed with a seamless exterior so you couldn't tell from looking at it.

I agree. I don't necessarily see diversity as a virtue, but more the ability to adapt. When choosing a tool, people will naturally pick the most popular one, provided it suits their needs. Open source allows for everyone to get up and move

The url validation seems a bit strict, requiring " http:// at the start. No one types that these days, and I think in practice it might be a real roadblock for less computer literate users. I notice also that "ftp://" is valid, but not oth

I believe a cursory look at the majority of websites on the internet would provide ample evidence to the contrary. I certainly find web design very difficult, whilst programming is something I am comfortable with. This may be more down to e

I think the article may be referring to the directory structure in iCloud, which allows only one level of nesting similar to the folders feature on iOS and in Launchpad. John Siracusa's review describes it[1]: "Only one level of nesting is

You're right, my mistake. It's a delivery report rather than a 'message read' report. However I find that often it amounts to the same thing these days.

This feature is also available for SMS (at least with certain carriers in the UK). Putting * 0# at the start of any text message will cause the carrier to text you when the message is read. The * 0# is hidden from the other person.
