Mac users? :) Sorry! Runs ok (well, 12fps!) here on firefox on an iMac. Just black on my centOS laptop with intel graphics, I admit, but loads of gl things don't run on that.

Since the source document is from GCHQ (Britain's NSA, if you like) it seems valid to ask whether similar workarounds by internationalisation are in place for disinfo (which this manifestly is about, right?) as seem to be in place for

Even grumpy people should be able to distinguish pseudocode from c++, I'd have hoped! But yeah, great article, imho, in that it clarified these concepts a lot for me, as a non-crypto person.

(Non-mathematician here.) Seems the fuss is about getting the faces of the Goldberg polyhedra to be planar. There's an article at sciencenews.org [1] which has a bit better explanation I think. It seems "Goldberg polyhedra" a

Well, libellous ones, anyhow :) You're right of course, though not sure that Jobs is quite "based on a living person" (though he was alive when the project started, just not when it was released.)
