You can't get two different sets of cleartext from the same ciphertext (except collisions, which is impractical and can be excluded for practical purposes). Of course, you can store few sets of ciphertext and decrypt depending on prov

VGA, Wifi module, Ethernet controller, BIOS (UEFI), power controller, heck, even battery all have chips inside them capable of running malware as well. It's naive to believe than NSA&co doesn't have its fingers on such techniq

We don't do math in human language for the same reason we don't write computer programs in human language: it's ambiguous and hard to define abstract objects using it. Only abstraction enables us to operate higher level, non-

Funny, I've found that the best place for me to concentrate is on a bus or train, provided there's not too much noise around. During one hour journey I can usually accomplish more work than 3-4 h in home/office.
