You don't trust yourself? And even if you don't, how does that reveal info on who is running the hidden service? Of course you know your own entry point into the Tor network; the Tor client even shows you. netstat shows you. But if you want to find/sue the person running the hidden service, you need to find that person's entry point.
As much as I love forwarded X11 apps, its rarely efficient over moderate to slow links. I can't justify using over 1Mbit of uplink traffic just to use my editor over the wire when even a VNC session is more efficient.
1Mbit? Back in the day, we ran X11 over dialup modems, and we liked it. Or at least thought it was semi-OK.
You know lots of Linux/Unix/*BSD systems don't have an X server, right? (Actually the majority of them don't)
And they don't need one--the post you're replying to is suggesting to run the X server on the local machine and run X clients on the remote machine, forwarding the connections over SSH.
Here's the main reason I don't use Vim (or Emacs, for that matter): it's a "stateful" editor.
Insert mode? Command mode? Etc. etc.
If you think Emacs is stateful, aren't all editors stateful by your definition? Most people do not consider Emacs to be stateful. Sure, you can press Meta or Ctrl to start some multi-key command, but you can press Alt or Ctrl in Windows Notepad too. What makes vi stateful is that after you've typed a command, you're still in command mode and must type another command. In Emacs and Notepad, after you've typed a command, you're ready to insert text again.
When did his name change from Satoshi to Dorian? Did I miss something? The last article said they found him because his name literally was Satoshi.
1973. From the original Newsweek article, "At the age of 23, after graduating from California State Polytechnic University, he changed his name to "Dorian Prentice Satoshi Nakamoto," according to records filed with the U.S. District Court of Los Angeles in 1973."
I don't buy that part... he's been in the US since he was about 10 years old, and has been here for 50 years. He's been working alongside English-speakers--i.e., he's immersed in the language. He's a smart guy. Therefore his English is comparable to a native's. I'm from an immigrant background too, and have many friends who moved to the US when they were around 10 (+/- a few years). They haven't been here as long as Nakamoto has, but their English is native-level. Some still have a bit of an accent, but they don't have any problems understanding or speaking English.
I haven't been paying attention to the current crop of dumb phones, but back when I was using them, it was pretty much a standard feature. E.g., Nokia 8290 had a v.32 modem and an IR port, and IR was pretty common on laptops of the day. Point the two at each other, and you can start a PPP connection to your dialup ISP. Then when GPRS data became popular, I had a Siemens M46, which didn't have an IR port, but if you got the data cable, you could plug it into a serial port and tether by setting up a PPP connection that dialed a special phone number (*99# or something like that). And my last dumb phone was a Motorola V195, which showed up as a serial port when you plugged in the USB cable, and again, you could tether by setting up a PPP connection. Actually, I think you could also tether over Bluetooth DUN, although I may be thinking of another phone.
No it is neither literally, nor figuratively a bomb on wheels. It will catch fire though, with plenty of warning and safety features, if punctured. As I understand if you were in the Tesla when it caught fire in the battery packs, you probably wouldn't burn to death.
But the comment you're replying to wasn't talking about the Tesla. It was talking about a hypothetical electric car powered by lithium polymer batteries, of the same chemistry that an iPhone uses. One of those may very well be a bomb on wheels.
Doesn't surprise me, still has teh same shitty interface more or less from the late 90s. Won't even tell me if someone replied to one of my comments without me looking manually. Doesn't display correctly on tablet/phone, can't select post display setting on said devices.

Myth? The link says: "Now, some of Spider's code (possibly all of it) was based on the TCP/IP stack in the BSD flavors of Unix. "
Yes, but the link also says that the only version of NT that used Spider's code is 3.1. The myth started when people ran strings on various commandline network utilities in Windows 2000, such as ftp.exe, and saw the UC Berkeley copyright message. Apparently, they confused the TCP/IP stack in the kernel with the usermode utilities or something. Bottom line is that NT doesn't use the BSD TCP/IP stack.
All three editions of the ISO C standard (1990, 1999, and 2011) permit main to have an implementation-defined type.
Even in a hosted environment? The C89 draft I found only lists "int main(void)" and "int main(int argc, char *argv[])" (2.1.2.2); it doesn't have the "or in some other implementation-defined manner." that C99 has.
That actually breaks the C standard, but I suppose control systems aren't much worried about portability.
The ANSI C standard defines two types of implementations: "hosted" and "freestanding". An embedded system would most likely be considered a freestanding implementation, in which case, the entry point function can be whatever the implementation defines it to be. It might not even be named "main" (but if it is, it could return void if that's what the implementation says). That said, C99 allows main() to return void, even in a hosted implementation: 5.1.2.2.1 gives "some other implementation-defined manner." as one of the options for main's definition. It notes in 5.1.2.2.3 that "If the return type is not compatible with int, the termination status returned to the host environment is unspecified."
Very few IT departments will let users install anything on "their" computers, which makes sense because otherwise you're going to have security problems.
It isn't my computer at work, it's my employer's. He pays me to use it.
What do you need to install? A keyboard with Dvorak keycaps? I thought if you touch-type, you don't look at the keycaps anyway, so you don't need to change out the QWERTY keyboard. Chances are the work computer uses Windows, which comes with support for Dvorak, so you don't need to install any software either. It's just a configuration change (which doesn't require administrator privileges... a regular user can add the Dvorak layout). Does your employer let you change the mouse speed or double-click time? If so, I don't see why they wouldn't also let you change your keyboard layout.
i thought android+google maps already does this... i think they call it "coarse-location" (due to it not being as accurate as "fine-location provided by gps)
They do. And if you RTFS, Mozilla is also doing it "... to compete with proprietary geolocation services like Google's."
It's actually Hebrew that Slashdot won't reproduce, and the translation is normally held to be "Thou shalt not kill" on the basis that is what the KJV translates it as. Other more modern translations use "kill" rather than "murder". Nice selective translation, though.
No, the translation is not "normally" held to be "... kill." Especially not because of the KJV. The modern English translations, including the most popular ones, translate the word as "murder". See, for example, the New International Version, the New American Standard, the Amplified Bible, even the New King James Version. Also, an old, but literal translation, the aptly-named Young's Literal Translation, translates it as "Thou dost not murder." Take a look at the other translations on that site and note how the vast majority translate the word as "murder." Pretty much the only modern, widely-used, translation that uses "kill" is the New Jerusalem Bible.
And FYI, the "Hebrew that Slashdot won't reproduce" can be romanized as "rasah", a term that while hard to pin down the exact meaning of, scholars generally agree means more than simply "kill". This site has some discussion of it.
It's also notable that the Bible explicitly mentions the death penalty as acceptable: "Anyone who kills a person is to be put to death as a murderer only on the testimony of witnesses. But no one is to be put to death on the testimony of only one witness." -- Numbers 35:30. So perhaps that will refresh the memory of the AC a few posts up who "[didn't] recall any exceptions for "Oh but if the other guy killed someone else that's O.K, you know?"
USB 3 SuperSpeed: One balanced pair each way = two balanced pairs. 10Gb Ethernet: four balanced pairs. Seems like pretty much the same efficiency to me. That said, apparently USB 3.1 will add 10Gb SuperSpeed using the same connectors/cables.
In part, Ethernet uses 4 balanced pairs to get 10 Gbit/s, so only 2.5 Gbit/s per pair; USB3 gets 4 Gbit/s over one balanced pair so is achieving more data per pair
To get 4Gbps in USB3, you need to use SuperSpeed USB, which requires a different cable and connector--it doesn't work with the single D+/D- pair in USB 2.0 and earlier. The SuperSpeed connector has more pins to support the two balanced pairs that SuperSpeed requires.
1,000 amps? Since when did residential electrical service supply that much current? No, Tesla's highest-powered residential charger draws less than 100A at 240VAC. And even the Supercharger doesn't use that much power--it's 120kW, whereas 375V 1000A = 375kW. Don't know how much current the Supercharger draw, but Wikipedia says "The SAE DC Level 3 charging has not been determined but the standard as it now exists has the potential 200–600 V DC at a maximum of 400 A (240 kW)."
So when you click a link to a JPG file, does it open in the browser, or does it open in the viewer configured for.jpg in your OS? I'd wager that for just about everyone, it opens in the browser. What's different about PDFs that you think they shouldn't do the same?
People had been complaining about misleading "download" ads on TortoiseSVN's download page for years, and the maintainer, Stefan Küng, refused to do anything about it, basically saying he develops TSVN for free, so he's entitled to as much ad money as he can get. Even reasonable suggestions such as putting a border around the ad that said "Advertisement" were rejected. I had even offered to donate to the project if he put a labeled border around the ads. While I don't have any problems with him getting ad revenue, I did have a problem with him relying on deception to get it. So, I suggested that anyone who found the ad placement misleading file a policy violation report with Google ("The site makes it difficult to distinguish ads from content."). In response, he killfiled me and banned me from the tortoisesvn-users list. Talk about butthurt:P. But perhaps the reports had an effect, since he did add the border as had been suggested. And I donated 150 euros to the project. And I still think Stefan Küng is an asshole (which I mentioned in my Paypal note to him:)

doesn't speak/understand English that well

What dumb phone provides tethering?

So is there a video of the press conference anywhere? I've only seen clips, such as Mark Karpeles bowing and apologizing (in Japanese), and answering a few misc questions.

Bollocks! The cable is HDMI 1.4, so refresh rate is limited to 24/30 Hz...
"HDMI 1.4 increases the maximum resolution to 4K × 2K, i.e. 3840×2160 (4K Ultra HD) at 24 Hz/25 Hz/30 Hz or 4096×2160 at 24 Hz (which is a resolution used with digital theaters),"
So in other words, the refresh rate for 4K content is 24 to 30Hz, just as jddeluxe said? Got it.
