That's the entire point of asymmetric crypto, the amount of effort you would need to brute force 2^160 keys is staggering. Even if you made billions of ASIC processors and ran them until the end of time, you probably wouldn't find

Nice idea, but the project is pretty much dread. All the domains are squatted and up until a month or two ago you could steal anyone's domain and make it your own, it took a public full disclosure to rouse the developers enough to get

Nothing by the looks of things. I tried a few and it looks like the target URL you put in must contain the address somewhere, otherwise it's not verified. I guess it's to stop people flooding spammy names.

Changed hands? There's no way of knowing if that happened. This is likely just a wallet being consolidated rather than actual purchase of goods of currency. The only thing we know is that a large number of Bitcoin moved from somewhere

There's nothing to suggest that anybody apart from him ever ran the site. The screw ups on StackOverflow and Bitcointalk point to him and nobody else. He's just someone who totally didn't prepare for his adversaries, who ulti

He kept a written journal of this stuff? Truly must not have expected to be caught, I can't imagine what world he was in inside his head to have believed that. Given the status of the website, it was only going to be a matter of time.

To put that in perspective, that's the same as making sandwiches at Subway in Australia.

It can't, really. There's nothing remotely like web indexing in a crypto currency. Indexing websites is massively storage and bandwidth intensive, something which a distributed blockchain is not designed for. It's a nice idea

I remember some ccTLD had A records a while back (bs. was one), but they lacked MX. I think it would just cause lots of form validation errors if that suddenly changed, not to mention the confusion you'd cause with people expecting a s

"Wally" would be a shortening of "Wallace", both are quite old names.

3-5mm is standard, but if I remember this books rightly they're fairly cheaply bound (it's been a while since I've seen my copy of the one in that post, saddle stitched or stapled). Assuming a 5mm bleed, you can have at most

I've always been told that it's dumbing down, usually the line is "American children wouldn't understand it". I suppose it's the same as the Harry Potter books, "Philosopher" changed to "Sorcerer

He's not at the edges of the page partially due to the print process. You need a large border of disposable material that can be cut from the edges (bleed) should the alignment of the pages be slightly out when the book is bound and tr

I have no heating bill, ever. Waste heat just makes my apartment more uncomfortable.

It's been done, tried, and it wasn't practical back in 2011. Certainly not now that the network is easily a thousand times faster.

Branding. If someone says to load up a droplet, I know they mean DO. If they say VPS, I ask, where?

Man that's expensive. You could probably build something similar on a quadrocopter base for a tenth of that. Not a lot to the thing when you look at it.

I've still had absolutely no issues with my running droplets, though space is getting very tight in AMS1 at times when creating new ones. Their support is excellent even if you have a very specific question about their network, there&#

Change the "w" variable to > 9000 and it completely kills Safari, can't even close the tab or the browser. Sweet demo though, I remember being amazed seeing this sort of thing the first time.

I'm going with everybody else, it's an encrypted stack trace. Every reload is entirely different rather than small portions changing, so we can assume it's something like AES rather than a simple XOR. If it were a simpler enc

It really wouldn't. Take the average of the puzzle, if it's 75% grey in a wide distribution then move it a bit, repeat until there's some huge change in the histogram. Easier to solve than most I've seen.

More importantly, that's just the standard current supplied to a USB device. It didn't ask for more because it probably uses only a fraction of the default.
