Change the title? It's misleading to imply the results are final.

I've just tried and I can't reproduce. It might be because you're copying a leading space: if a command is prefixed by white space it doesn't get saved in the history.

Not exactly, because of ballot secrecy. Nobody, not even you, can prove what you voted (or didn't vote) with a paper ballot. This is the primary countermeasure against coercion and bribery of the electors. With e-voting, providing ball

The reviewers found terrible opsec, lack of an appropriate threat model, and demonstrated the feasibility attacks both on the vote counting server and on the voting client. For more information you can watch the video I linked above or read

I'm more interested in "responsive" research papers. Once you write your source in LaTeX, it shouldn't be difficult to compile it in a format that fits on a regular e-book reader.

tl;dr WPA2-PSK doesn't do AP authentication.

Care to elaborate on the client support? AFAIK, all major operating systems support WPA Enterprise (I've used it with Mac, Linux, Windows, iOS and Android).

Because going to Wikipedia, waiting for it to load and then searching is a two-step process, while writing a query with a !w is only one step.

Just as a reminder, ”instant“ communication is not really instant. There is latency, it increases with the number of cars involved and it’s not negligible for safety purposes (e.g. emergency braking).

When you say it crashes while loading medium-big images, do you mean really ? As in the whole OS crashes, or just the app?

In the graphics, they are spread apart because they are substantially less than half (all the others choose to stand). Walking sure requires a larger spacing, but I would say 1.5-2 times the regular one, not 10.

The existence of a “feature” that relies on UA strings being consistent across domains, with the potential to “brick YouTube entirely in a user-visible way for all Firefox 43 users in Europe”[1], is quite worrying to be honest. [1] https:&

I see it like this: 1) let the user handle the security updates of the JVM; 2) push out security updates in a centralised, controlled fashion. IMHO, in a corporate solution like that described in the OP, 2) makes a lot more sense.

But when you're transferring files, you usually want reliability. They could have used UDP and implemented reliability in the application, but would that have saved overhead? I don't think so. EDIT: By the way, you source is about
