I needed it for my gcc and gfortran install. I am not sure whether osx uses glibc for xcode. Somehow despite removing and replacing everything related to glibc, it was still broken. Never did figure it out.

I remember a terrible experience trying to get gfortran working on osx. I ended up permanently borking my glibc. If this doesn't use the real gcc I imagine similar experiences may await. Nonetheless that is much better than downloading xcod

A lot does depend on the actual circumstances for the bad RNG. If you had a good method of recognizing the valuable sites (anything involving money or maybe email?) it might be more practical considering a botnet would be just fine for this

Not really - it does make a difference between amateur attackers and professional, but the potential value is high enough that there will probably be plenty of well funded attackers.

Considering the potential value of some of those rsa keys, that is a quite minimal investment. This might be an in the wild danger pretty quickly.

I took the 'the straightforward approach would require about ten core-years and would not scale well' to mean they had a more efficient method.

The article mentions franchise laws. What is your opinion on those?

I don't know. The thing is all these might be saturated, but at least three are problems that still aren't solved, but have a lot of value to people.

Good point, this makes for a dangerous precedent, but the unsympathetic defendant will make it easier to convict.

This is quite important. The main lock in effect of a Elsevier journal is the impact factor. Researchers careers are made on the regard for their papers, and the most visible component of that is the citation rate. The academics who can aff

That worked, thanks. Now I wonder when they will change the color choice of the text. The difficulty of reading off-white text on a light blue background with random off-white motif is high.

So is there a good explanation (link to those lawyer analyses mentioned by Hayes perhaps) of specifically how US sites are affected? My understanding is that if someone posts a circumvention method (eg. link to new domain) then the site on

They could just put a coil in the bullet and a permanent magnet along the barrel, then measure frequency produced by the temporary dynamo to calculate velocity (based on known rifling). Then use a timer to measure distance.

I do think we should be worried about letting google get too strong a walled garden. The most worrisome thing about google is that we depend upon so many google products, that it might be difficult to see what we are missing if they started

Thanks, that is just the type of information I was looking for. I do wonder whether non-technically savvy users would run into firewall or redirection problems, as tahoe runs as a simple server. Perhaps it could use bittorrent?

Can an Internet archive be implemented as a voluntary p2p system?

One thing that worries me is how difficult it makes it if you get some data corruption. For example, I had a hardrive that had full disk encryption start to fail, and found pulling the data off much more difficult because I had to decrypt t

Truecrypt has a hidden OS option. It does sound like some work, however.

I have skimmed the contract, and that does not appear to be the case. Of course I am not a lawyer, and I could have missed something.

Actually I feel like people have had a thing against godaddy for a long time, and try to make a big deal about unimportant PR stuff. I don't care about sexy advertisements, I don't care about the CEO shooting elephants. I do care about ques

He rather defeats his point at the last by pointing out that subcultures that specifically deny artificial or damaging fitness indicators would then take over. It seems unlikely that some few out of billions wouldn't make a different choice

Ah, I gather firefox assumed that it could write to a given file repeatedly and it would just stay in the cache. Thanks for the explanation.

I would agree that calling ext3 obsolete is odd, but I don't know enough about the particulars of file system performance to understand why data=ordered is or is not problematic. This leads to the interesting problem of judging the opinion

That's some great points. Thanks for the effort to lay out the costs involved. It's a good point to consider how there are often good reason for doing things the way we have been (caveats about this situation not withstanding).

The excitation of the higgs field corresponding to higgs boson's like we are looking for at LHC are 'manifested' so to speak. The higgs that cause mass are virtual carrier particles that exist in a state of quantum in betweenness. Photons,
