I think one of the main areas of interest would be raising lactate threshold to delay OBLA. That's the main limit/inhibitor for endurance events. I'd expect the next generation of drugs will focus on things like improving mon

There's a good chance that tumblr@example.org is going to be a real account. If you started getting spam to tumblr.w8ke2iowieiu3k3@example.org then I'd be suspicious. (I must remember to do this for new things I sign up to.)

Fair enough, but there's enough stupid/aggresive behaviour on the London CM for me (and a whole bunch of other cyclists I know) to stop attending it.

I rarely ever agree a price when booking a minicab in advance, but I use the same minicab firms I've used for a long time so I know they're unlikely to rip me off.

In the absence of a pre-agreed/fixed price most minicab drivers will charge based on a combination of distance/time measured using the vehicles trip-meter/odometer and a clock. That's not much different to what the Uber

The right to protest is also enshrined in UK law (within a huge number of constraints). Other (one-off or infrequent) protests such as Critical Mass certainly obstruct free passage along the highway, but they are tolerated.

I don't think you get exactly what he meant by "js disabled by default". I use No-Script and whitelist sites as required, it's just a click or two, but for any new site I go to JavaScript is disabled.

It was only until I had children that I realised just how much time they take up (this isn't meant to sound selfish, they're awesome!) It makes me wonder just what I did with all of that spare time I had when I didn't have ki

This is one of the pitfalls of a public only support mailing list. I know I post using a gmail psuedonym to get support for various open source apps that I use for side projects. I'd be looking to provide an extra private/internal

The diminutive can be -ita or -ito depending on gender. They may understand it as "mosquito" rather than "little fly" but that is a valid literal translation, just like "gatito" is "kitten" but the li

I don't think it's unfair to paraphrase this statement:- "And, we have reason to believe based on the data structures used by OpenSSL and the modified version of NGINX that we use, that it may in fact be impossible." as

I would have been more impressed had their original assessment of heartbleed (on nginx) not been "We've reviewed the code and we don't think it's vulnerable." Looking impressive with hindsight is relatively easy.

If by "dynamic partial addresses" you mean "plus addressing" then, yes, it does use that.

Which is worse? a) Leaving your password unchanged on a site because it is still vulnerable. b) Changing your password on a site that is still vulnerable.

65505 tests as I work it out as it's unlikely to be non-byte aligned:- 256 bits is 32 bytes If you get 64kB of payload data back each time then it can only contain 65536-31=65505 different consecutive strings of 32 bytes.

My employer (IBM) allows people to do things in their spare time with the following kinds of exceptions (off the top of my head, sure there are more):- a) Do not use company time or equipment. Pretty obvious that one. b) No doing something
