.. that the Cuban government still think the US gives a damn about their 3rd world Island apart from Guantanamo Bay. Since the USSR collapsed its been pretty irrelevant in the scheme of things other than a source of refugees and comedy revolutionaries in green slacks with silly beards.
Even though according to wonkypedia it has low GW potential and doesn't damage ozone, do we really want to be manufacturing more fluorinated hydrocarbons which almost never decay in the enviroment by themselves and just build up over time in the soil, plants and eventually us?
Producing them cheaply enough to rival chips made of processed sand is another matter entirely. Anyone remember gallium arsenide chips that were going to eat silicon for lunch back in the 80s? Yeah , well.... still niche.
"Of course, you have to make sure that broker is Really Damn Secure. Keep its attack surface minimal, make sure the mechanism by which it identifies whose key to use is extremely robust, and if possible make it a trusted part of the OS that is as secure from tampering as possible"
So in other words run it as root so when it gets compromised you're TRULY fucked. Yeah , genius idea. Far better is just to scatter parts of the password randomly around a block of memory and reassemble when required then delete when done.
Except for standard computers it doesn't work so well since the CPU is almost always faster than everything else so the other parts of the system almost never have a chance to kick back and relax - its usually the CPU waiting for them to do something. Also a serial computer is pretty much like a road - everything moves at the speed of the slowest vehicle/component. Slow one thing down and you slow everything down. Parallel systems improves things a bit - you now have a multi lane highway - but even so , the same basic rules still apply to each lane.
I'm sure there is a reason though perhaps I'm just too wedded to cause and effect. Anyway, whether that mooted reason occured in this universe after the big bang , or the seeds were sown "outside" in the multiverse - if there is one - we don't yet know. If its the latter then we'll probably never know what it was - as you say , its just the way it is. If this universe is part of a multiverse or some other larger structure and isn't completely self contained then physics may find itself up against a brick wall because ultimately things may have happened - or even still happen- due to outside influences we simply cannot know about.
Unlike the energy from nuclear fission or fusion which we essentially get for free because its already in a sense locked up in the atoms, for an anti matter bomb you'd first have to make the antimatter - from scratch. And the amount of energy you'd have to put in to do that would have to be at least equal to the amount of energy you'd get out. So to create an anti matter bomb to physically destroy a planet (rather than just laying waste to the surface) you'd have to put in enough energy to do that in the first place which if you used the entire earth electricity generating capacity would - at a guestimate - take a few hundred years minimum.
It would be utterly obsolete by now and would just be a legacy function that would have to be supported for legacy apps and would be a security swiss cheese. TCP is better off just being a pure transport later protocol with modern crypto layered on top.
... the matching algo checks for zero length strings *before* it strips out whitespace so lets this through. Once it has stripped out this whitespace it *then* has a zero length string but doesn't know it and then the rest of the algo fails due to it.
I'll bet it something stupid like:
hashed_pwd = strip(input_pwd);
for(*ptr = hashed_pwd;*ptr;++ptr) {// Match
if (hash char doesnt match) return BAD; } return MATCH;
Water just sloshing around isn't going to do much on its own if the rocks its sitting on don't have anything complex enough to kick off whatever chemical reactions were the precursors to life.
Its a tiny moon with very little energy internally and the rocky core has probably remained unchanged since the solar system was formed which means its unlikely to have much in the way of complex chemicals to kickstart anything. I doubt there's any subduction of the ice crust like on Europa so there's no way for anything to get down there either. If I was to lay money on it I'd say that water was about as sterile as you can get.
Seriously , why do so many people thinking transfering files is some new problem still looking for a solution? I can understand it for Windows users but Linux users really should know better.
Would be simpler just to have the light at yellow for longer though in some jurisdictions yellow means stop unless its unsafe to do so , so some rules might have to be changed.
If it is an Aprils Fool its the unfunniest in many a year. But given the way government in all countries and car manufacturers seem to be mandating more and more tech in cars this move doesn't surprise me in the least.
Latest wheeze in the UK - all new models of car MUST be fitted with stability control and it MUST work else the car will fail its annual test and you won't be able to take it on a public road.
Or USB sticks. Guess what - they fit in your pocket and you don't need internet access or some shoddy "cloud" service to access your data which you have to leave connected 24/7. Oh , but it password protected so it must be safe.
So you can remember and properly use the entire x86 instruction set? Really? Then I take my hat off to you. But in case you've got confused and think the latest chips just have the 386 set with a few extra bits and pieces you might like to check this out:
And I don't think anyone should slavishly adhere to RISC, but intels default position on any new functionality seems to be add yet another set of opcodes rather than letting smart compilers figure it out. These days its power efficiency that matters more than yet another fancy opcode subset than gets used in 1 in every 10K programs.
Its the lens that blocks it - and does so in all apes and monkeys. However people who've had their lens replaced due to cataracts or some other eye problem often find they can see UV (eg dark lights in clubs or lamps to check for forged notes) depending on the material the lens is made of. I suppose in theory - in some distopian future - the military could replace soldiers lenses then equip them with UV torches. No contacts or glasses required.
The current x86 instruction set is already so vast it past "extended" about 10 years ago and is way too complex for most humans to grok in its entirety. Its the C++ of assembly languages these days. I'm not sure adding ever more instructions is really the way forward. x86 was always CISC but even so , seems to me intel has deliberately taken the RISC how-to manual and never mind ignored it, they've set light to it with a blowtorch then pissed all over the ashes afterwards. Even their early decisions were dubious - have a register based cpu , need a maths co-pro , shall we make it register based? Nah , lets go for a stack based architecture just to make assembly coders lives 10x more difficult. Genius! Not.
I see you subscribe to the old logical fallacy of 1 = true ergo N = true. Just because an authority figure such as Hitler invaded Poland doesn't mean your kids need to question a teacher telling them the earth goes around the sun. Questioning everything everywhere all the time just leads to anarchy. But hey, whatever floats your boat pal, perhaps you are an anarchist. Luckily people like you are in the minority.
Ok , so you're just some lame hippy giving it the rebel yell when really you should have grown out of that by now. I feel sorry for your kids. I'm sure they'll feel great not being told what to do or what to learn - until they have to enter real life and find out that to get a job that do actually need to know a bit more than Che Guevaras life story and how to knit hemp. I doubt they'll thank you for fucking up their childhood while you worked out your own anti authority demons. People like you are just a bit pathetic.

Unless you were a roadie for Beyonce or Bieber she'd probably say the same about any job you did whether you were a top surgeon or an airline pilot.

Fair point - but even so , it would still be a fsck load of energy required to create the anti matter in the first place.

Already pre-existing life adapting to living there is one thing - evolving there from base chemicals is another entirely.

But I hope I'm wrong.
Or telnet if you're desperate. Simple.

Indeed. The USA in contrast does seem strangely backwards in a lot of ways with regards to TV & Radio broadcasting.
