OP is treating XOR as though it were not commutative between registers and memory: > Consequently, there are actually two ways to encode xor eax, eax: ; r/m32, r 31 C0 ; r, r/m32 33 C0 So, what I am saying

I think from the perspective of steganography the question is also: How often is byte code checked for anything like this? Steganography is like a magician's act; it's only undetected if you don't go and look for it. I think,

I think it is better to call this a noncommutative operation and phrase it as such. Duals are often in fact, different things. But I think what you are doing is pretty cool! I don't know much about machine code, but whenever XOR beco

Wouldn't the first stable release of HTML count as "a drastically simpler set of web standards" together with the fact that any browser should support it? Everything else is to me a matter of compression. Netflix's succe

Not sure if this helps, but Thinkst is a South African company that provides "security services". Maybe they mean that most security providers didn't see it coming. Some people would think that the NSA are part of the set of

Yes, you are right, Thunderbird is the good workaround for Protonmail too. Some people are just too lazy to go beyond a web app.

Ah, always nice to be downvoted. But if you say "this begs the question" it may be a common thing to say, but it is also incorrect.

Let me give you my perspective on the matter. Art connects us with history. If we don't have a conscious stream going back to the Greek mathematicians such as Archimedes and Erastosthenes, how do we know they existed? In this case we a

Orwell's book's structure was dictated by the publishers, but I still love the content. My allusion was because I am wondering why the description needs to insult pure mathematics in order to promote Street Fighting Mathematics .

The content looks quite interesting for a mathematician too—so I'm sorry that the advertising needs to be antagonising. But even Keep the Aspidistra Flying was basically mutilated by circumstance [1] and it's still a great book.

In South Africa, we also have different versions from the US and they are not pirated. They are usually called international versions . It does have to do with pricing here vs. the US, but they are still expensive for a student.
