AFAIR there is nothing in TOR that prevents races between two servers trying to get a specific .onion address. So my understanding is, that a collision ( or a broken RSA private key) would put the HSDir into a inconsistent state. And in thi

Tor .onion addresses work by signing a message to a gateway with your RSA-1024 private key, while the actual address is the first half of SHA-1 of the public key. [0] So you have to brute force 80 bit to find a collision for a specific hidd

C++ is the correct name, you write a few thousand lines C code and then write class LargeObject in the first line. So C++.

Yes, but IMHO they are still the best trade off. ( But I will have a look at disconnect, thanks for the link.)

I am quite happy with Ghostery+NoScript. If you have a general solution, then you would just end up with an arms race. See [0] for details. [0] http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2010/12/its-made

Since the Schwarzschild radius is proportional to the mass, it is probably better to note that the maximum entropy of a black hole seems to scale with mass squared, instead of being proportional to the mass as in an ideal gas. But this can

Unfortunately this is the state of journalism today. In the length of an article it is only possible to make one point, at least outside of a dense article aimed at a specialist audience. Additionally the article should seem to be relevant,

The marginal cost, that is the cost of one additional copy, is zero. ( Actually it is some server cost, so < $10 per TB.) The musician., studio etc. are upfront costs.

You need something like half of the Sahara to produce the global primary energy consumption from solar panels alone. [1] ( Or the next few largest deserts combined.) So this is certainly not easy, but it is on the scale of doable. On the ot
