23andme was invaluable to me for health, but that is rarely the case. Most likely you won't learn anything profound from it, though if do you learn something important it is probably not going to be good news. I personally much prefer

Tuesday Adi Shamir at the RSA conference said that this is not the right case for this issue and that Apple should help the FBI in this particular case and I completely agree. Apple also has screwed up as well and should admit it. Apple wou

Try using Dieharder. It incorporates most of the Diehard tests, as well as other tests and is much more rigorous. sudo apt-get install dieharder http://www.phy.duke.edu/~rgb/General/dieharder.php If you make a GSL

The 10 series Altera FPGAs are going to be a little like this, although it is more for SEUs and also IP segmentation/security. You will have lots of little islands, all which can detect configuration errors and report them, and even re
