    Conversely, the requests that do come will usually have much smaller responses.

  3. Re:Is there even a coherent thought here? on Skype Security and Privacy Concerns · · Score: 4, Interesting
    There are dual-recipient encryption systems. Scype could be using one to store the session key so Law Enforcement (with or without a warrant) can decrypt intercepted communications. Or just encrypting the session keys twice.

    It seems to me what the world (or at least tinfoil hatters and others, like lawyers and accountants, who handle confidential information) needs now is either
    1. A serverless, point-to-point, TLS with client key authentication Capable VOIP protocol, with multiple implementations, some of which are open source, or
    2. IPSEC protected SIP or H.323

  8. Redundant UL and LI in menus on Slashdot HTML 4.01 and CSS · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If you want to clean up your code more, all the menu items are anchors wrapped in list items. this can be much cleaner styled as:

    <style>
    //should be in an attached stylesheet, not inline
    div.menu span { display: block; background-color: green; }
    div.menu a { display: block;}
    </style>

    <div class="menu" id="about">
    <span>About</span>
    <a href="/supporters.shtml">Supporters</a>
    <a href="/code.shtml">Code</a>
    <a href="/awards.shtml">Awards</a>
    </div>

    As compared to:

    <div class="block">
    <div class="title" id="links-about-title">
    <h4>About</h4>
    </div>
    <div class="content" id="links-about-content">

    They have high tensile strength, but not high compressive strength. It'd be like trying to push a rope up to the 30th floor.

  10. Re:in (somewhat) plainer english on Chip Maker Gets $35 Million Judgment · · Score: 1

    Faster development time for each client's ASIC, no need to write their own clients chip design tool, and client's testing on FPGAs work the same as the delivered ASIC, would be my guess.

    Sorry. I'm really tired. I didn't read the "rules of" part, without which it sounds like Universal Deiism.

    No, stars form however the rules of the universe allow them to.

    The guy I voted for in that election lost anyways. At that ballot box and overall.

    I've been a scrutineer at the same polling table where I cast my ballot. Not only do I know that my vote was counted correctly, I know that all the votes in that box were counted correctly. And an aquaintance of mine was the scrutineer at the Elections Canada office, so he knows the totals were added correctly.

    WHAT THE HELL? Who would trade burn scars for 50% chance of death, likelyhood of chronic pain, likelyhood of further disfigurement, and no immune system for the rest of their lives?

    Self-sourced grafts and reconstructive surgery sound like a much better idea to me, but then I'm not even an orderly, let alone a reconstructive plastic surgeon.
