That said, RSA is well known to not have key pairs that grow in security in a linear fashion compared with key length. EC fortunately has much better properties, although EC certainly has its own drawbacks. A 256 bit EC key has similar security to a 128 bit AES key (insofar as you can compare those) and 512 bit has about the same as 256 bit AES. You will quickly go to 16K RSA keys to accomplish a similar security level. Try and generate a 16K RSA key pair and do a few signings to see what that means. Try the same for a 512 brainpool curve (or 521 bit NIST), and you'll understand the difference quite clearly. Or better: do it the other way because the RSA key pair generation might take some time.
Hmm, tell that to the machinist of the train I was in, when he tried to push the stranded train before it (which did not contact any power lines because of a dent or something) forward. It's amazing how a direct standstill from 5 mph to zero feels; I was just able to stay on the seat.
Go to NL, we've got a (rising) shortage of IT personel. Of course, your pay level and housing cost may be affected. We are a friendly people that like to drink real beer, talk English and use US keyboards:)
Sorry, but that does not convince me of anything at all. These "design claims" are way to generic to be taken seriously. The fact that there are crosses in some of them should be enough to get Samsung of the hook. And it seems that is happening in general.
Nah, for the reason of trying to do anything about the situation, even if it defies logic. People can not sit on their hands when such a situation arives. It's not so much panic as the very strong drive to do something. It's probably one of the biggest reasons why many doctors are against euthenasia. They get confronted with the fact that they are powerless against some things.
Suppressing the feeling you've got to do something does not make you a survivor, and they are therefore rather stuck in our gene pool. Of course, they have very little to do with logic reasoning, which is the one thing left to combat the feelings (which is harder than you might think).
Nice, but I would rather opt for a silent computer. Who is ever going to buy a computer to put in the basement, only to put a long cable all the way up to the desk (current company excluded, of course).
Yup, with one bit it would take just 5 tries to have a success rate of over 90%. You may not need a fast computer to accomplish it. Heck, the piece of shit calculator in my brain could easily do the job. Unfortunately generating usable random numbers is extremely unreliable as well:)
There, I created each and every Shakespeare work by typing every letter. I must be a genius. Oh, and even better, look at the dot at the end of this sentence -> [.] When multiplied and put in the right place in a 2D grid, it represents all the works of Shakespeare all by itself.
He did know that it was not correct, he just implemented an approximation and abused the title for his hobby project. No harm done. He did even explain that he was just testing some techniques and warns people not to get angry, which I will implement by drinking a Lagavulin single malt on his health.
Or the fact that they can scan.zip files, but they don't seem to be able to delete files from them for some reaons. First of all, their scanning a single 32K.zip file takes forever and ever (and ever). It seems you can set a limit, but I won't go into the fact that virus makes would immediately exploit that fact. Then my IT dept set the virusscanner to delete any file with a virus. That was the end of 50 GB of backup.zip file (because it found one slightly dodgy file that I clearly labeled as such).
McAfee has certainly cost me 100x more grieve than any virus could have done. And it keeps doing it that to me each and every day at work. Previously it was Windows that slowed everything down to a crawl. Now it's McAfee (closely followed by Adobe, which causes so many browser and PDF reader crashes it is not funny anymore).
Yeah, in the old days it was always "format.com" that was triggering virus programs (if they were switched to "heuristic" mode only of course). But that was probably to give you an idea what you had to do to successfully program a 3,5" disk drive to work (almost no firmware there, hope you like programming timing in assembly). Not it is probably something like the special process handling that is the trigger.
I almost went and reported a DOS virus myself once. Came out that it was a common but unbelievably weird program that compressed.exe applications. Virus/trojan detection is hard. IMHO it should certainly only be the last defence against virusses. Most users and businesses still think it is the only and best way, which is just dumb.
I've got two Mini-ATX boards lying around with a fully functional PCI slot. The PCI board is fanless as well, so that might make an interesting media playback device for sure. And it has HDMI. I'm already sold, this baby could hook up my VIA Mini-ITX to my full HD TV (that, unfortunately, does not do VGA in). Happy thoughts. Shame it is not half height, I'll have to saw my wine-box in two:)
In NL, it is rather common for "kramsvogels", fieldfares acording to my dictionary to eat fermented berries. They get as drunk as any other mamal trying to eat the berries. It's absolutely fun to watch, but not very special technically speaking. Also, according to some bird info, drunk birds will be lower on the picking order.
Anyway, in Greenland man eats kiviaq, which is fermented bird. Sounds entirely more gruesome to me. Then again, I could just safe a hare that my female friend had received. The hare had been "ripened" and she thought it smelled a bit funny. Yeah, that's because it was supposed to:), tasted fine to me, but I had to add the alcohol myself.
There is one thing that is a bit worrying in this regard: many times this kind of commercial addons are very useful. What happens if you want to introduce the same functionality using OSS? Will you get sued, ousted of the community or similar? They've done the same thing with the Java VM, and I am seriously wondering if the additions would not have come to the OSS variant if they weren't included.
This is very much a generic CPU, nothing to do with vector processing. It's main tarket is enterprise & communication application servers. Hence the crypto-units and networking capabilities build in. A GPU might well outrun it regarding vector processing though.
No, that's taking it the other way around. It's that the persons that are most likely to go for their own fortune, they are the least likely to care a fuck what happens to the company. This is not a chance occurence either. The Volkskrant (a Dutch newspaper) did a check on publicly funded organizations and their top management. There was a rather obvious link between salary/benefits and performance. Persons earning the most were clearly the worst persons for management.
People still think CEO's are choosen because of performance. They are not. They are choosen because they have the biggest personal network and are the highest up in the rat race. With the obvious exception for extreme circumstances, a company is almost always better off choosing somebody from their own ranks, choosing somebody with modest salary demands (in other words, somebody who wants to do it because he/she wants to accomplish something).
Stupid question, but would it not also shield the roof from sunlight as well? Would that not cut in electricity costs? I presume the roof is not *that* well isolated?

Don't feel bad, the subtitle and of course the article beat both of you to it....
Of course it scurried, it could get up to 94 million years old. I'll see how well you run after reaching that age.
No, it is actually *in the article* that it didn't.

New feature request: automatically mod down (by personal preference) anything that uses YouTube language on Slashdot.

Yup, mod parent up, that was exactly my idea. I don't know the number of slashdot articles, but it should be close.
Somebody mod this AC up?
