You apparently have no familiarity with American culture. Homosexuality was once, "The love that dare not speak its name." Now it's, "The love that won't shut up." There have been a number of legislators that have been "out." It doesn't seem to have hurt their careers. They would probably take it as free publicity.
It would almost certainly lead to a real smack down of the NSA were such a thing to happen.
I think that would depend where they are. It might be different in Alabama to California.
There's also a good chance that the good Senator is married with a couple of kids, is a loudly proclaimed devout Christian, and until now has been "passing". Oh, and hypocrisy being what it is, they may also have taken a prominent anti-gay stance to the press.
Not in Australia, when we still had them. Aussie telegraph machines used a 5 character Baudot coding, with voltage levels high enough to operate relays directly. At least the last mile to the customer premises operated that way.

Since India was also ex-British Empire, I suspect it also operated that way.
I just started reading some of his stuff this year and I only learned of his cancer when I googled his name this past Friday. I don't want to get political, but every time I see something like this, I can't help but opine on how many times over we could probably have cured cancer by now if we just redirected a fraction of the money we so eagerly dish out to nation-building/oil-grabbing/whatever-the-fuck-we're-doing-in-half-the-fucking-planet-right-now, surveilling our own citizens, and bailing out banks and car companies all to the tune of many trillions of dollars in only a few years.
We can cure many cancers including his cancer, now. The problem with many cancers is early detection. Ovarian cancer is another obvious target that falls into this category.
Were they on some dedicated police email server or were they webmail accounts (Gmail etc.)? How did the hackers get in so easily, apparently? Inquiring minds want to know.
Chinese, which would actually be REALLY useful in this modern world.
No, it wouldn't. It would take a massive effort to be proficient enough in Mandarin to be able to use it, and you would still not be accepted by native Chinese, because you're not one of them. You won't be able to use your rudimentary Mandarin to make any kind of business deals in China.
I saw a TV interview with an American business man who had been dealing with the Chinese for a couple of decades. His advice was that learning to speak Chinese as an adult was incredibly difficult, due to the tonal nature of the language, but you could benefit by learning to read it. That way you can examine the original Chinese contracts and specifications, and see how they were trying to screw you.
If you want your young kids to learn Chinese and you've got money, hire them a Mandarin speaking nanny or au pair so that they learn the language in the home.
If you're bargaining the price of a purchase down, note that the cost of an extended warranty may be negotiable too.
In Australia (Harvey Norman) I was offered a 3 year extended warranty on a laser printer for $50, supposedly reduced from $75. I declined. Some minutes later he offered me the same warranty for $30 and I accepted. The laser snuffed it about 5 months after all warranties expired.:(
I've read that in Australia both the big, legitimate movie distributors and the major TV networks use (or have used) torrents to move programs around, between theaters (with digital projection facilities) and networked TV stations.
I've been wondering for a few years, if OTEC were implemented on a large scale (multiple GW), could this cause localized weather effects?
You'd probably need to implement large scale OTEC in some kind of gulf stream, so that the newly cooled surface water would be carried away and replaced by new warm water. So you'd have a surface plume of colder water maybe tens of km long and wide situated in the center of a large area of warmer water. Could this act as a seed for some kind of major weather event, such as hurricanes, cyclones etc?
>Be my guest. Personally, I think snails are disgusting.
Overcome your food phobia. Snails taste delicious.
Garlic and butter are the traditional cooking medium but I had them cooked in a bacon gravy at Morel's restaurant in Vegas and they were superb.
Yes, but many varieties are toxic, or become poisonous from eating toxic plants. The snails used for human consumption are farmed on specially prepared food, then extensively purged before being harvested.
Although I was wondering myself if this species was edible. Even if so, you'd probably get unscrupulous people just collecting them off the road side, then trying to sell them as farmed animals.
After being sacked for cheating on his expense account to shack up with his mistress, at the rate of $10,000 to $20,000 a time:
Hurd acknowledged there were "instances in which I did not live up to the standards and principles of trust, respect and integrity that I have espoused at HP." Hurd, who is married with two children, will get a $12.2 million severance payment and nearly 350,000 shares of HP stock worth about $16 million at Friday's closing price. The company also extended the deadline for exercising options to buy up to 775,000 HP shares."
If the right people had been in charge of Nixon's funeral, his casket would have been launched into one of those open-sewage canals that empty into the ocean just south of Los Angeles. He was a swine of a man and a jabbering dupe of a president. Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning. Even his funeral was illegal. He was queer in the deepest way. His body should have been burned in a trash bin
Mr Mohseni and his employees will be out of business or dead as soon as the western forces leave and the Taliban take over again. Or they may just be put out of business by the corrupt present government who don't want the distraction of an independent media.
From TFA: "The gigantic number of identical messages that must be sent to break the scheme might seem reassuring. The attack in its current form takes close to 32 hours to perform. But Paterson points out that an attacker could use a malicious ad, a hijacked portion of a website, or a compromised router to feed the identical message to a user again and again unbeknownst to the victim.
The F-35 doesn't suffer from 'jack of all trades' anything. It has one trade: It's a strike fighter, and it will be good at this role. All other roles are secondary
Isn't that why it underperforms the F/A-18E as delivered? Not only is it slower and less maneuverable, it also carries less weaponry. Just about the only edge it will have over the Super Hornet is in avionics, and those can be installed in the Hornet via the proposed upgrade.
Actually the main advantage it has is that it's stealthy (from the front). The F/A 18 is a tier 2 fighter which is heavily outclassed by all the leading Russian equipment in range, power, and in the future stealth.
Not even. It's set up as a PIN system. How many people will use a 4-digit pin?
Even if they use a 10-digit pin, there's still only 10 billion combinations.
The answer would be to form a hash from your input key, then feed that back through itself for several million rounds. Only the final result would be used as the decryption key. This is the same sort of setup used by KeePass and other password managers. A device specific salt would also be a help.
Just an fyi, a system using biometrics, RFID, or tokens is going to be insecure: unless they are using the fingerprint itself as the encryption key (highly inadvisable as you would have to get the same image every time), they are storing the key in the USB device itself, which will be terribly convenient for any attacker.
The only proper way is to have the key derived from the "unlock code", so that the USB device has no knowledge of what the key actually is; "access" is granted merely by providing a decryption key that actually returns data.
It also adds "meat cleaver decryption" as an alternative to "rubber hose decryption".
I have a PC that I use for all of my financial stuff, record keeping, and other critical data. I don't encrypt the hard drive. I don't even password protect files.
You know how I do security for the PC that handles my most critical data?
It's not plugged into the fucking Internet. That's how.
And what do you rely on if your computer gets stolen? How about if your computer suddenly craps out and you have to take it in for repair, and the repair shop has full access to all your files as soon as the power supply is fixed?

I don't know much about telegraphs, but I'm pretty sure they're analog machines.
No, they're a form of digital communication; they use on-off keying (OOK).
