Absolutely. However often you reseed the generator you need it to be unguessable. Server activity would be a good source of entropy with the caveat, as you point out, that you need to be sure that there is more activity on the server than

"nethack.alt.org has patched the initial seed calculation, but as nethacker Adeon has demonstrated, it's still feasible to figure out the game's seed by observing random effects." To me the article reads as though this is more than just an

I wonder how much of that is due to difference rather than genuine inferiority. My understanding is that the learning style in the US and China is very different. Disclaimer: I've never visited China and I've spent a grand total of 3 da

Am I right in thinking this is solely a webapp at the moment? I wouldn't really want to leave my computer on overnight. Can you recommend an app for waking from hibernation ready for your service to kick in?

It's surprising, and a little disappointing, that the original author had not already submitted it. I've not played around with Magento but my understanding is that it's based on the Zend Framework. Zend_Form has a dedicated element for pr

Badscience is almost always worth the time to read. Although it can be a bit depressing. Taking a look at the article by Aric Sigman it does appear weak. Having said that it's worth reading if only for the accompanying images.

A massive stretch. My intention wasn't to suggest that I/you/we/them 'loved' our houses/cars/jobs but that you could substitute loved for your activity/goal of choice and the idea still holds true.

I've used namecheap to set up a cert for my site. It's the only one I've set up so far so I can't compare them to other vendors but I had no problems and would happily use them again.

"I'm planning to do CompSci for three years and then train in medicine for four." This somewhat surprises me. If you ignore the crazy number of A levels his grade in Chemistry puts him on shaky ground for Medicine. http://www.cam.ac.uk/ad

Peer review isn't the problem. It is as important today as it was a hundred years ago. The problem is the way in which it is paid for in the majority of journals. There has been a trend to enable the original researcher to bear the costs

Some of the categorisation is a little unusual with libraries, PEAR, and templating systems, Smarty and Savant2, thrown in with frameworks and the version control section containing only continuous integration tools. It's a good list thoug
