The mathematical result I think you are referring to is: any uniformly distributed random variable xored with any other independent random variable yields a uniformly distributed random variable. On the other hand, if we take the stronge

It is also important that the entropy sources are independent. For example, if RDRAND were defined in terms of /dev/xrandom, say by just flipping its bits, then doing (secret bits) xor (bits from /dev/xrandom) xor (bits

Or you could do both. My camera is set to save two images per shot--one RAW and one JPEG. This is a great learning tool for a beginner like myself. The default settings yield somewhat over-saturated colors for JPEGs, so it's always

I've used btrfs for years with no problems ever. But, I see weekly reports on the btrfs reddit forum of the type "I was doing btrfs RAIDxyz, and I can't mount read/write" etc., so there do exist people who have iss

The major problem with this "people of color" designation is that it sweeps specific discrimination against African Americans* under the rug. It is certainly possible to have 100% employees "of color" while consciously

I used Gentoo exclusively for 5+ years (around 2002-2007) and after the umpteenth update which broke printing, I switched to Debian stable, and will probably use it for the rest of my life. Being able to get stuff done without having to wo

Disagree. When Obama was elected, the Republicans in congress swore to never support any of his policies, regardless of whether they agreed with them. (Eric Cantor and others admitted this in interviews.) This severely degraded the relat

No, this is not in the constitution. But regardless, two-thirds of the supreme court are Republican appointees.

Right. It's amazing that Linus Torvalds created TWO separate things which changed the world. I'm still working on my first, and I fear I won't finish before retirement!

Obama said he didn't deserve the prize, and everyone agrees. It's more fair to look at the long history of recipients (MLK, Mandela, Mother Teresa) than to judge the prize on one or two errors. Otherwise, almost all prizes are m

This may not be true at all, depending on the distribution you use. You should ask a Linux user who does work similar to yours. I haven't had to "fiddle" for years, though I probably subconsciously avoid using software&#x2F

Debian stable has been my solution to the endless fiddling for over a decade. But it won't work for you if there's some very specific difficult-to-use-with-Linux thingamajig you need.

What operating system? On Linux, I had a memory stick that was not completely inserted, and periodically I saw corrected memory errors reported in the logs until I fixed the issue.

Actually, when forward-facing the Diono is wider than many other car seats because the back is flush with the back of the seat. Others have a narrower wedge behind the seat so kids in adjacent seats get more elbow room.

I have three children, and our solution was the Honda Odyssey. It has a separate back middle seat with its own pair of car seat anchors. Yes, it's big on the inside. None of the other SUVs I saw had the middle seat anchors.

If you're willing to pay $400 for the convenience (like I did) an HP printer/scanner/copier/all-in-one which can scan to a network drive (Samba) should tempt you. I've gone through 2-3 different cheap Brother laser

Oh! I always thought the TTL was the delay in "propagating" the DNS change, not an expiration time for lookups. Learn something new everyday... Good thing that's not my day job.
