Yeah, *you* sign it. Because the NSA won't have access to your private key, suuuuure....
It's bombarded so aggressively, it's having its surface ripped off it to create that enormous tail, and it's suffering from ever greater gravitational tidal forces - that's about as far as you can get from happening without apparent external infuence.
Yikes. Given that the two companies pushing C&P tech in Europe are the credit card companies, which are both US companies, I had presumed it had at least some traction in the US. Clearly I'm mistaken.
Almost all C&P terminals will have a legacy magstripe reader, so an American *should* be fine in Europe. However, there are some countries where even the big name branded international networks seem disconnected from the rest of the world - I was unable to use both Visa and Mastercard (C&P and magstripe both) issued in UK, Finland, and Estonia, it mattered not, while in Denmark - only Danish-issued Visa/Mastercard cards were accepted. So take care, and do your groundwork before arriving... (I've been to a dozen other countries in Europe, everywhere else apart from Denmark was fine.)
Everything you've listed is *an artifact of C*, at least in the context of the gamut of languages also thus far mentioned.
What is "allocating" and "an address" in LISP? Or in Forth? Or in prolog? You're too stuck in C-think to realise how different other languages are, and how Algoloid-specific your knowledge is.
To the contrary, the facts are clearly on my side. The lies are the messed-up ideas flailing around inside your own head. If every crime that the UK categorises as a violent crime were tallied in the US, the US statistics would be enormously higher.
We're just beginning to roll that out here. I know it's supposed to be near field and secure, but everything else that has claimed either of those attributes has been proved to be wrong.
Incidentally, when I was in Korea earlier this year, I paid for a few tinnies in a convenience store using magstripe - and wasn't asked to even sign the slip, or show any ID. The first thought that went through my mind was "yikes, if I lose my wallet, I'm screwed". Immediately afterwards came the counter-point "but if this is such an honest and crime-free society that there's such blind trust, I'm not screwed".
Only argot (and possibly ergot) infested biologists would call sponges "animals". But they're the people who assert that most nuts aren't "nuts" and most berries aren't "berries".
They really need to take a step back, take a deep breath, and admit that their use of the language is wrong.

Are you being ironic? I'm guessing you are. If so, your implications are that others (in the US) might not be aware of it - in which case, they can work down this checklist, and identify where the confusion kicks in:
- You know what a chip is (in the context of IT)? - You know what a PIN is (likewise)? - You've seen cards (e.g. payment or identity cards) with chips in? - You've seen people type in their PINs in order to use those cards with chips in? - If you've made it here, then you know what chip and pin is.
It's technology from last decade (though it was growing steadily during the decade before too).
Unlike magstripe, which is 80s technology (and which too was growing steadily the decade before that).
You've got my mind wandering now - I've just persuaded myself that the dimensions of magnetic stripes must be specified in imperial units...;-)
Yes, but the PIC that manages the clock typically has no capabilities apart from being able to assert a single interrupt line connect to the power management chip, which knows that's a wake-up source, and which will wake up the application processor, which can then in turn wake up the modem. So whilst the alarm isn't actually going off, the device is indeed off.
Bingo. I never knew that, but teh googs confirms it quickly.

I'm glad I never got round to trying it out, I was initially tempted.
I forgot to include in my post the fact that as I was reading the article and earliest posts I was fomenting in my head an idea that was based on information theory, and so was *most pleased* to see your compression example - the kind of thing that I come to slashdot for. That's, I think, the purest approach; whether it's practical or not is another matter, and - to a pure mathematican like me - irrelevant!
I replied to your post rather than the parent, where it was perhaps more relevant, as it was you I wished to engage in dialogue, as you seemed to have the insights that I was interested in! As I said, I'm an outsider to the field, but still interested in it.
The problem I have with least squares is that I don't like the definition of the "error". If you have two things that are correlated, one isn't necessariy a function of the other that includes some variability. If you flip the X and Y axes over - plot height against weight, rather than weight against height - then the least squares regression gives a different line. If the two errors are both minimised, but different, then neither of them is the "real" error. One's the (squared) distance to the regression line in the X direction, the other is the (squared) distance in the Y direction. Neither is the actual (squared) distance from the line, which would be in a direction perpendicular to that line. Is that not a better error to try and minimise? Also, non-squared rather than squared.
Naively, I believe that regressions lines should be preserved by all affine transformations. Least squares seems to be only preserved under scaling and translation.
As you commented 3 posts back, the human eye plots a different line from what you get from least squares linear regression. I suspect the human plots a line about half way between the two axes-flipped regressions. And would be preserved by all affine transformations. (And probably has a gradient very close to sqrt(var(X)/var(Y)).)
However, I have no statistical background. I was a pure mathematician, and stats was just applied woo-woo to me.
In the field of cryptography, the term "broken" is used whenever the work factor to crack is less than that of a brute force attack. Stevens' 2^61 collision attack against SHA1 means that SHA1 is broken.
The song is about 2 MB of what the labels would consider information that has a value (from an information theoretic viewpoint, they wouldn't permit broadcasting lower-quality lossily-compressed versions of the tracks).
The text of the lyrics are at most 2KB of that. Punters are not downloading the vocal tracks from these sites, just lyrics with no tune information, no timing information, no volume information, no timbre information, etc.
In what way is *one thousandth* of the song not fair use?
I just pulled a few random CDs off my shelf and searched for some of the lyrics. Typically the sites on the front page of google were ones on the list in that pdf. Therefore the legit sites do not help in finding the kind of music I like, apart from the bands which I consider at one time fairly mainstream. So, once again, the little guy gets burried.

I've witnessed drink-to-pass-out behaviour in Korea. (On soju, their rice wine much like sake.)
I've also witnessed Korean brewers making the pissiest beer in the universe (InBev, I'm looking at you with your Cass and Cafri nonsense), so that you can literally chug all night and (at least someone with a well-adapted system will) barely get a buzz.
However, both of those sides point to one thing - the fact that they do merily drink alcoholic beverages in quantity just like everyone else.
Also note that there's no reason to consider a less efficient, or less pleasant, processing of alcohol to be the "mutation". Tolerance to a poison is more likely to be the adaptation, rather than intolerance to it.
Explanation, which the useless wastes of biomass couldn't be bothered to include in the summary:
This is the first stable release for 7 years, which presumably has had a whole bunch of maintenance (minor) releases in the prior 8 years since the last actual "major" release.
Strangely, I don't see IOS and Android (yeah, yeah, and Tizen, not that you pay me to say that) listed as supported platforms, so they're kinda marginal here.

In that instance, you're counting down the number of bottles left. And zero is the value at which you *stop* counting.
