The name is written correctly in the post, but the poster screwed up both the headline and the tags. Probably hasn't even bothered to actually read the books.
Had that problem too - the 16KB expansion glitching during typing. However, there was just enough space inside the ZX81, under the keyboard, to place the guts of that expansion module, and once the proper connections had been soldered, no more problems. All that thanks to my HAM dad.
Anybody who's a least a bit chocoholic should try Belgian chocolate. We may not be a chauvinistic country, but we all agree that we've got some of the best beers, and definitely the best chocolate. According to Belgian law, US chocolate cannot even be called chocolate. It has be labeled 'cocoa fantasy'. Chocolate can only be made with cocoa butter - no cheaper fatty substitutes allowed. And of course, to mask the shitty flavor of those ersatz fats, more sugar has to be added to US 'chocolate'.
Speaking as a Belgian, I'm worried about a French multinational in control of the plants not giving a damn about anything but their own profit margins. We hear about incidents (so far in the non-nuclear parts of the plants) at least once per month. The problem is that unlike Chernobyl, Belgium's nuclear plants are in highly populated areas. In case of a real incident, we might have to evacuate and relocate several million people. Not to mention that the parts of our neighbors that could be affected are also pretty densely populated. The deal referred to exists purely to transfer a lot more money to said multinational. This money might be better spent either on a new generation of nuclear plant, or better, reusable energy. Unfortunately, said multinational also appears to have zero interest in investing in new power plants in Belgium.
In Belgium we've got this: https://www.bpack247.be/. Part of the normal postal service. Basically you get a card with a barcode (to be scanned at the machine) and a pin code. A growing number of online stores will ship to these. Convenient if you're never at home during normal delivery hours. Since I pass through a train station equipped with one of these every evening, my problem's solved.
In normal circumstances public key cryptography doesn't touch floating point. It's multi-precision integer calculations that are required for this. But UltraSparc cpus have such a bad integer multiplier that you need to resort to floating point trickery to get a slightly better performance. It's no miracle they had to add a dedicated crypto processor to the Niagara line.
There is a variant of Diffie-Hellman which is not vulnerable to the "Man In The Middle Attack": the Station-to-Station Protocol. In this way two people can exchange public keys without having to worry about an active attack. You can find references to this method in Bruce Schneier's "Applied Cryptography".

Ally Sheedy and Steve Guttenberg fell for it in Short Circuit. Number Five is alive!
Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no. So no, two spaces is not better than one.
Unfortunately Parker didn't appear in the Sun Probe episode.
You are wrong. AES supports either a 128 bit or 256 bit key.

It was WOPR, not WPOR.

As a Dyn customer, who refuses to give even one lousy cent to Oracle, I'll be on the lookout for alternatives. Suggestions are welcome.
Orders of magnitude better latency.
More like one order of magnitude, by your own figures.

I've tested Blackdown 1.3 recently and found their BigInteger implementation so horrendously slow that it was virtually unusable on an iMac 400 MHz.
