What am I missing out on by not rooting my HTC Desire with 2.2 and HTC Sense? I haven't seen any hugely compelling features of 2.3 that make rooting seem worthwhile.. yet.

Oh, was it a metaphor? Fuck me I didn't see that!

Thank you. I always made an assumption about signing that didn't quite make sense to me. It was that when you sign a message, that the whole message was just encrypted with the private key and then easily decrypted at the other end. This would serve the purpose of proving authorship, but then no-one could read the document unless they had your private key which makes it somewhat inconvenient.
Instead, a hash of the message is taken, and then encrypted using your private key. This encrypted hash is then attached to the original message. The recipient then takes that hash and decrypts it, meanwhile, it performs the hash function on the data and if those hashes match, then the author is valid.
The latter being far better as you don't need to have the authors public key to read the message, only to verify it. The hash is encrypted, not the message. Much more convenient:)
I think it's images like this that tend to confuse as it leads you to believe that the whole message is encrypted by Alice.
This all just makes the original posters statement even more confusing though as the public key is never even decoding a message, just a hash to verify a signature.
I love slashdot, you end up learning things you may otherwise never get round to looking up.
I'm confused by what you mean. With a public key system, you *want* one key to be 'out there' (the public key) and it's fine for people to decrypt your message (that you encrypted with your private key). Effectively, you have just signed your message and by decrypting it, they are just confirming that you are the author. We are not relying "on the security of the crypto system to ensure they can't do that" as we want them to do that.
What we don't want them to decrypt is a message that I encrypted with person-x's public key, but as only person-x has his private key to decrypt it with, we are safe. Sure, in this instance, we "rely on the security of the crypto system to ensure they can't do that", but that's no different than a private key system where we rely on the security of the crypo system...
I fully support googles decision with this, but I still have to play devils advocate here...
These 'kids in Sudan'.. How exactly are they obtaining this video? I assume that they are using some kind of digital video capture device, right? In which case, surely it is recording in an H.264 format as most cheap portable digital video devices record using it. It seems they already had the license by having the camera. Yeah there are older devices that don't record in H.264 (or they record analogue) but they may be more costly to get hold of/repair/digitise than something cheap like an old flip.
LOL nothing dumb about that. It was not intuitive, but what else can you do when you have limited buttons... It surprised me when I first found it too.
I second this. I have been using ConnectBot and it works great on my HTC Desire. Just don;t leave connections running in the background... it drinks battery like it's going out of style when you do that.
Isn't the homosexuality trend self-fixing anyway? If 2 guys or 2 girls get together, and stay loyal for ever, they aint passing those genes on. It's kinda self-policing that way. If homosexuality could somehow increase the chances of survival of the species, then it would surely become a dominant gene.
That said, now that we have progressed so far with science, all bets are off. All kinds of genetic defects that would normally get weeded out pretty much straight away in nature, are now able to thrive as we 'fix' all the ailments that they create. All we have done here is fixed yet another (and in so doing we are enabling the homosexuality genes to flourish in future generations).
I was under the impression that they harvest embryonic stem cells from unused eggs when they are doing IVF? They re-implant the ones that took and discard the others (Or use them for embryonic stem cell research). This has nothing to do with abortion.
I dunno if it would quite manage that tbh, maybe it would be able to, I don't know, talk all four leggs off of an Altarian Mega Donkey and then make it go for a walk afterwards?
Yes, and Arsenic. It's CCA (Chromated Copper Arsenate)
However, this is being phased out for Alkaline Copper Quaternary or Copper Azole. In the EU, CCA is no longer allowed for domestic or residential applications. It's also being used more in north america now too.
That's fine & dandy, until packages start breaking on you all of a sudden. This happened to me with Apache years ago. The problem? I wasn't reading all the update readme files, I should have known better than to upgrade it!

No, I don't think the act was funny or it should be joked about, before you start.

Did I misunderstand what you were trying to say?
Touche!

Did the bus get your information OK in the end?
Try your volume buttons. I don't know if this is dependent on what phone you have, so just try it :)

Or am I mistaken here?
640W should be enough power for anybody.

He only ruined it if you read the post. Until you observed it, it was both ruined and not ruined.
You just shouldn't have read it.
Some interesting info on Space Time
Sorry, it's been in my head since reading the article title, had to get it out there.
