Depends on how it's set up. They could have an installer package that includes a manifest of files inside with their hashes, and then that entire package could be encrypted. You don't need to know the hash of the whole package if you can check all the files inside.
Huh, then you have to wonder whether the signature process failed or the hash process failed...if the signature process failed and the App Store not only passed incorrectly signed apps onto devices but allowed them to be installed, that's a security vulnerability.
Well obviously since it didn't work it wasn't done the One True Way the first time, and since Steve loves and forgives Apple users, he only wants to steer his flock back onto the path of righteousness.
iOS - the first operating system with package management that doesn't run hash-checks on installer packages to check for corruption. That's right, Apple did it first!
Huh, good point. I didn't think that credit card companies would adjust your credit score based on what you buy but I guess there's not reason they can't and they have an incentive to do so.
Good idea but I wonder if there's a more efficient method to store the carbon. Vitrefaction needs a lot of energy and extra material.
Also considering that kudzu likes to spread out and not grow up, I'm figuring that a more efficient way to harvest it would be to let it grow to cover an enclosed area and then mow it. Maybe grow it on platters arranged helically around a tower (to let the most sun and rain in) to fit lots of grow surface into a small area. Then a mower device could run on a helical track between the platters.
This is why the GNU in GNU/Linux is so important. A closed OS that absolutely requires a Google account running a Linux kernel as the foundation of an otherwise alien OS is hardly "Linux" at all.
Wildly optimistic...maybe they'll have a product ready by 2017 if they're already working like ninjas on it, but then it will be time to modify laws and possibly the roads themselves, and only after that will self-driving cars hit the roads.
It's sad that protesters are always so technologically ill-equipped - using social networking sites, relying on cell comms, etc.
You know what would be a worthwhile software project? A simple kit to allow a group to set up an encrypted wifi mesh network that hosts a web-based communication service (on a freenet-like system, that can be mirrored to an online darknet site) that can provide Internet access through darknets to clients (where Internet access is available) and is resistant to any mesh node machines being seized (keep an absolute minimum of any identifiable information, "dead man's switch" functionality, etc)
It's more than the resolution of the power use, on a per-device level certain info can be read and power use can be measured. If you have an electric car - and in 10+ years you certainly will - they'll be able to tell when *your* car is at home (since they can read the serial) and how much energy it expended on the last trip. To reduce the privacy invasion to just what you say would require some kind of firewall device to filter/anonymize/block SMART comms to devices in the house. To restore the previous level of anonymity would require you to run your house from a battery bank.

You guessed my location wrong too.
I can now narrow your location to Alberta based on your sensitivity towards jokes about the US.
America's poor science education in public schools. It's holding you back man.
Exnae on the ipperrae itessae!
China thinks ahead, but doesn't play nice.
They could be doing it not just for practical purposes but possibly for setting up a DeBeers of rare earth metals.

Liar! He'd say something like "Just try not installing it in that way."

2.5 metres of emails is a decent amount of data on a modern data tape.
The UN has sent many strongly-worded letters to the Assad regime and has sent observers to take note of what's happening.
I still don't know how that fucker sleeps at night.
Might as well bring up a new BackTrack release at an Amish town meeting...

The length of an ancient Egyptian man's forearm.
LOL excellent sig material here!

Your record on future predictions equals that of the world cup animal oracles.
If Bill Gates was as good as that squid it would be a massive improvement.

Win8 could be the best thing for Linux since Vista, unfortunately MS is one step ahead with UEFI secure boot...
Exactly. Scary how few Slashdotters get it.

Which means nothing if what they record is encrypted.
The NSA now takes a "store now, crack later" approach. That's what their new Utah data center is for.
