Why don't you set a breakpoint just before it encrypts what it's collected, peek in memory and find out for yourself?

It certainly seems like that when you are stuck in a deep, dark hole, an altered consciousness might be the best chance to find some motivation. Like realizing that there is good in the world and you can be a part of it. MDMA brings some h

Removing complexity (gates) means yield goes up. My indications from being on the periphery of developing custom silicon and respinning it is that NRE is not $500k for devices that are more advanced (ie multiple sparc cores + dsp + applica

I used to play the drums and I did not have wrist issues so I figured I would be less affected by RSI from using a keyboard. It could have made it worse though. Having no win/meta keys on the IBM keyboard actually led me to try differ

Whatever the reason, I think it was the high actuation force of the IBM keyboard. I don't really slouch. I did not hover my arms and I really don't want to all the time, but I had a pretty good wrist pillow, two "Sun The N

I have heard it among guys who work on pinball and arcade machines. It might be less common now, but next time you encounter an appliance repair tech (like microwave ovens) ask him/her.

I felt the same thing until after some years I started getting terrible pain in my wrists. It was the IBM keyboard I prized so much and held on to. Then I found some cherry keyboards in the trash in a pile of Point of Sale discards. Now

Is that an all electric car? Petrol combustion gives off a lot of heat, but if the thermostat is stuck open this works against the goal - modern vehicles will set a fault in this case because slow warm up causes more fuel to be burned and

This is ridiculous, I have never had a car need ten minutes of driving to make heat, even in a Pittsburgh winter. I have had a driving license for 36 years.

Some industrial laundries do this, but I have heard this over and over again to describe residential HE laundry machines but never actually seen one with a way to measure this. The usual method is to tumble the clothes until the water leve

Best to store this stuff in a conditioned space, not a humid shed with no air circulation. Got some lyts from 1962 working fine here.

Tantalum capacitors are not failure proof. Ask around about tantalum failures, usually someone has a memorable story about an old tantalum capacitor that shorted. If you buy quality electrolytics and don't store the machine in a humid

I hate that they want to bundle SIP telephony. I arranged my own and pay about $5/month. Google fiber is in town so prices are ok for data. I set out to get 10 mbits/sec service, the least I could buy was 50 mbits for $35. Appa
