Where do you come up with this? And how are you so up-and-up on the North Korean underground? With the design of Red Linux, your comment suggesting that rebels go through very great lengths to watch a really shitty "comedy" movie in aother language is... just..... dumblephorous. I had to make up a word to describe it. Suppose it'll show up as a "thing" in other countries soon.
there are three basic types of fonts, Sans, Serif, and monospace
Completely wrong.
Sans Serif and Serif just describe either the absence or presence of lines extending from the bottom of letters. Even these have sub categories, like "Slab Serif". Neither of these have anything to do with a font is monospace or not. For example, "Courier New" is one of my personal favourite fonts, and is both monospace and serif. These are just 2 possible attributes (since "sans serif" just means not containing serifs) of a font. Many font families have both serif and sans serif versions, and some even have monospace versions, which just means each character takes up a fixed amount of width, NOT meaning that the span of the left side to the right side of each glyph is a fixed length, whitespace counts. So you can make ANY font monospace just by whitespace padding all representations of glyphs to match the largest in the set.
Thus, being toggelable attributes, the true difference between any font is absolutely everything else.
javascript doesn't care. You can pass an infinite number of arguments in the caller, and it always works. The language was designed thus-so so be extensible.
Try it yourself, in firefox type control+shift+k.
In the console do this:
function blah(x)
{
return x;
}
blah("hello", "ALL", "OF", "THIS", "IS", "IGNORED")
And you'll get no error, just "hello" as expected. The problem is that if firefox adds a third argument which has a completely different meaning than the third argument in chrome, then you need complex version testing all over the place. This is why it's better to add a new function than to rely on optional arguments.
Not in any sort of stable API... like HTML / Javascript are supposed to be. Especially since javascript doesn't support named arguments (like myFunction(a=12, b=14) ), so it's not safe to just "always pass the third argument as 'false'" when different browsers, implementations, and even different versions therein may have a different third argument (since it's not part of the standard).
A "Sane" way to do this would be to create a new method, or a new call. Like, if ( object.addEventListenerEX ) { object.addEventListenerEx(...., false) } else { object.addEventListener(...) }. But they didn't do this. Just more of how internet explorer made the web so horrible, google has taken over that department.
If it was monochromatic, sure. Consider 21 bits for each R-G-B (63 bits total). Now you have (20 million to the power of 64) - 1 possible values. PLENTY of room to seed an algorithm which can extrapolate to a very large keyspace.
"fix the roads" may involve destroying a beloved landform like a mountain, or bulldozing a historic site, or taking land / traffic right through people's yards and possibly houses. Consider why a lot of cities have some really narrow roads, or why roads wrap around a mountain instead of plowing through, etc. Transportation, to me, isn't the most important thing in the world. Would I rather folks take a sharp turn and spend an extra 7 seconds than demolish a waterfall and reroute the stream which is irrigating thousands of acres of farmland and trees downstream? Of course.
The rate of output doesn't have to depend on the rate of input if you just store everything. So if you get 1 million bits per minute (just pulling a number out of the air), run it for a year before going into production, you already have 31557600 million (assuming 365.25 days in a year) bits ready to go before you start using. This would cover bursts, power outages, need to disable the system to change light bulbs, etc.
No, but it doesn't matter. That's the beauty of using LIGHTS. They affect the parts of the picture which don't change, i.e. the bottom of lamps or the air between the lamps. Including dust and distortion, a high-res picture can provide a lot of entropy. Could even have multiple layers to it. Consider the bits in the raw picture are used modulus 64 to select one of 64 solid colours. Then, you create a diff map of that solid colour vs the pixel value as the final entropy bits. That simplistic example would add a measure of change to even the parts of the picture which could never be covered by dust, are not affected by the light source at the camera resolution used, etc.
They could create and deploy a safe truly-random generator, but couldn't do the tier-1 5 minute task of installing an SSL cert? They seem to not even CARE...
To enable high security, in future, SSL protocol shall be supported, i.e. all data shall be encrypted
Smoking kills a large fraction of people who do it.
Please tell me, what is that secret ingredient that has thus evaded being identified as causing cancer in smokes? Perhaps you should look into the matter yourself instead of accepting it solely on faith...
I think he was suggesting that NOT EVERYTHING is appropriate for the web. And surely that is true, web 2.0 and such only really gained momentum because of how crappy windoze is that the only trusted way to run applications on business computers was in a sandbox..
I'll call bullshit on this. The only way this could happen is if you had some task which wasn't targeted correctly ( i.e. a bad port of an old-style init) and somehow it crashed your whole system and not just didn't start. Which would have to involve something like, loading a custom kernel module that was dependant on userspace (but didn't check that the userspace portion was started). If you're going to spread bullshit at least make it believable. Otherwise you aren't a troll but just a moron.
Whatever your skills make you apt to do. I never completed college, I had several years experience by the time I went to college. Took me 2 years there before I really accepted that I was just going into debt, never going to get paid more, and that my experience already qualified me without a diploma for any tech company Id want to work for. Even when I had 10 years of experience a few companies said they needed a college diploma, one even described itself as an "ivy league company." Would have never applied if I knew they thought an expensive piece of paper meant more than being able to produce results.

Wish we had that here. Could finally have a reason to step out of my mother's basement!
First
And you've shared credit for this with everyone, by posting as AC! Aren't you a man/woman/otherwise of the people?
What about Courier? IBM owned that font... It's also known as "IBM Courier." They owned the copyright to that font and released it decades ago.
obviously a minor in the eyes of the law, or you'd have more than the initials.

So then how is the operating system supposed to interact with the devices?
31557600 should be 525960, but the point remains ( I accidently used seconds in a day instead of minutes)

No, that's .95^3 = 85.7% chance of success, or 14.3% chance of failure (i.e. compromise)
