It's a bit more complicated than that. Connolly was head of the EC unit that dealt with European monetary policy. The book that he wrote was critical of the EC's monetary policies, i.e. he wrote and published a book criticising his own employer. He was fired for it, and appealed his dismissal. The ECJ rejected the appeal (which is kind of understandable). The opinion was justifying Connolly's dismissal by the EC, not attacking his book.
It's not so much "very smart move" as "why weren't they doing this in the first place"? I've worked on various crypto projects and I don't think any of them ever relied on a single source of entropy, unfiltered. For those systems using RDRAND the way it's supposed to be used (to feed a hash or crypt-based generator, alongside other sources), this "news" story should really read "FreeBSD developers finally do what everyone else has been doing for years".
Keep-ass-X? I guess that's one place to store them, but it doesn't strike me as terribly hygienic. Mind you it should be safe from shoulder-surfing, unless you're in the shower and bend over for the soap.

Why hasn't the SEED cipher (RFC 4269) been reimplemented in Flash, Java, JavaScript, native code using an NPAPI plug-in (Netscape's counterpart to ActiveX, now used by Firefox), or native code using a PPAPI plug-in (Chrome's counterpart to ActiveX)?
The problem isn't only SEED, it's that the use of the ActiveX control has spawned an entire ActiveX culture in which you may need to run a dozen or more ActiveX controls to do business with your bank. Having issues with all that ActiveX running on your system? No problem, the bank's support staff will just remote into your machine (using several of the ActiveX components) and fix things for you, including installing new software and changing system configs (also known as "lowering security settings") to enable all the gunk that needs to be running. The procedure for doing online banking there is basically "set up clean VM, of XP, do your banking hopefully before you get pwned, blow away the VM again, repeat". I don't know what's a better analogy for the situation there, a toxic swamp or a petri dish, or maybe a mixture of both.
You too, since you missed the chance to pick on him for:
- "first adapter"
Actually this is correct, what he's referring to is the power connector on the Korean thromdimbulator, invented by the famous slawinister Johann Sebastian First and know as the First connector. To plug this into a standard power point, you need a First adapter. Arguably it needs to be capitalised, but I've frequently seen it written with a lowercase 'f'.

Flew out of an airport in Croatia a few months ago, a country that has about, oh, a million times more experience with violence and terror than the US. A passenger asked an airport staff member whether he had to take his shoes off during the check-in process. The staff member said no, but if he was carrying firearms he had to notify them.
When was the last time you heard of a hijacked aircraft (or whatever the TSA are supposed to be dealing with) in Croatia?
I tried to upgrade through my MS account using IE. NOTHING happened and I gave up after several tries.
I ran into the same thing trying to help a (non-technical) neighbour upgrade her PC. Unlike any other update, MS is forcing you to use the Windows Store to upgrade rather than making it a standard Windows Update. So she had to set up a Windows Store account, which she'd never done before. Then Windows Store wanted to install a mountain of crapware (Mettrash apps) that she'd never use and had no interest in. Then it demanded that she register a credit card number to cover the costs of all the apps she had no intention of ever buying from the store. Then she finally got a chance to look for the 8.1 upgrade. Problem is that no matter what she did, she couldn't find it in the store. After about an hour she gave up.
If MS doesn't make this thing available using Windows Update, they're going to have serious problems with adoption. The only time I've ever seen upgrades that were this painful was with "enterprise-grade" software from IBM.
So it's really just an expensive Mini-ITX board?
For an end-user, being open source is irrelevant. Having a few programmable I-O's won't help it. If that was all you needed, you'd buy an Arduino and save £100 on your design (plus the space and power savings, and no messy O/S to worry about).
Or, if you want a modern x86-based mini system, buy something like a Zotac barebones for a little over half the price. I realise it's cool and tree-huggy to have an open-source board like this, but in practice if I want an embedded real-world interface device I'll get an Arduino, if I want a compact x86 I'll get any one of a range of SFF x86's, and if I want something about halfway I'll get a PCEngines Alix, also at half the price.
Found anywhere else than beside a very busy freight airport, you might be tempted to believe they have been there all along.
But finding Four new species right next to an airport (and as yet, nowhere else), you have to allow for the possibility that they
arrived in cargo.
My GF reports encountering at least four species of legless lizard in that bar next to the airport on the left. She reckons they arrived as passengers though, not in cargo.
In seriousness though, 20khz at 200A is enough to wipe magnetic strips in the wallets of pedestrians, and possibly to energize braces in people's mouths.
Not to mention the biological effects of a 20kHz electromagnetic field on the bus passengers. I assume the equipment stays within the prescribed SAR levels for dielectric heating, but other biological effects are currently still little-understood. So I'm rather relieved that the guinea pigs for this will be in Korea rather than on the bus I get to work.

Shouldn't that be "millions of Americans accustomed to getting their mail delivered to their doors will have to get into their SUVs and drive to the curb"?
I suspect a lot of that, especially when users flat out lie, comes from users feeling they'll get a better and higher priority response if they start by trying as hard as possible to make it sound like a problem you're responsible for rather than they are.
If you think it's bad in software, try working in medicine. Nine times out of ten "the baby's head is poking out" really means "the contractions are an hour apart, I want my maternataxi ride to the hospital!".
In user speak "My Password won't work." is code for everything, including an unplugged computer.
In user speak "Your program crashed" is code for any error message displayed by the app, e.g. "I tried to open blah.txt, but your program crashed". After asking for more details the response is invariably "It crashes with an error message", + 5MB BMP screenshot attachment showing a one-line error message "The file blah.txt doesn't exist". Probably 90% of all reports we get of "your program crashed" are the user doing something stupid, ignoring the error status that's reported, and filing a bug for "your program crashed".

I have a friend who is extremely photosensitive - the flicker of fluorescent lights without high frequency ballasts make him begin feeling sick almost immediately, and before he was on seizure medications, would cause seizures. To use a PC monitor, he had to always have ultra-high-refresh rate CRTs - until LCDs became common. He has NEVER had ANY issues with any LCD monitor, regardless of whether the backlight was LED or CCFL. They have been a godsend for him.
Look up scotopic sensitivity syndrome, it's quite possible that people at the extreme end of the range are sensitive even to relatively high-frequency PWM.

It still lets me plan my life. More data is good, and you generally play the odds. I'm not planning to live to 100, even though I might.

Obviously whoever dreamed this up has never read the Seville Statement on Violence, specifically point 2:
"It is scientifically incorrect to say that war or any other violent behaviour is genetically programmed into our human nature. [...]"
So there, it's been defined to be incorrect. Because we say so. Let that be a lesson to all of you.

No, Jitsi is in Java and it doesn't use ZRTPCPP. Also there are no buffer overruns there.
Exactly. Java has more than enough vulns to go around without needing a buffer overrun as well.
