CRI audited the design and some output provided by Intel. They didn't audit the fab process to confirm that the production run of chips implement the design without modifications.
It's a mathematically proven high-quality random number generator that lets chips like Ivy Bridge & Haswell produce large amounts of true random data (not a simple PRNG data) at multi-gigabit speeds.
Maybe. Or maybe it's deliberately weakened by Intel in response to a request from NSA in an effort to produce something akin to the Debian weak key problem. Can you audit your CPU to see whether the implementation is the one which the proof belongs to?
Though the concept was introduced in 1982, ways to accomplish it with more than two parties, or with standardized protocols and procedures, has not become practical in commercial environments.

That just isn't true. I've read a very interesting paper about "massively multiplayer" commercial use of MPC back in 2008. It involved Danish researchers, so it may be the same team, and there may be improvements, but it would be good to limit the claims to the actual novelties.
You're missing the element of reciprocity. The NSA can spy on British citizens, GCHQ can spy on US citizens, and then they swap the data. If you don't want the US government having an end-run around restrictions on spying on US citizens, you need to shut down the NSA's spying on foreign citizens without probable cause, so that they don't have anything to swap.
So the only way to even have a reasonable assumption of privacy is to forego all communication with people from other nations? To close ourselves off from other cultures and hunker down in our fragmented fortresses? What a waste of potential!
You're almost there with talking about cards, but you've got the wrong one. It's actually down to aliens learning English from American Express application forms. It's all documented in So long and thanks for all the fish.
I've read enough on here and on other tech websites to know... If your experience is contrary to mine, I'd appreciate that input as well.
Is OP only interested in hearing from people who've read that working in the games industry can be fun, or does he actually want to hear from people who've done it?
(For what it's worth, I spent five years working in the games industry, and the two years at Jagex was the best job I've had. I'm no longer in games, but it still winds me up when people think that everywhere is as bad as EA).
The phrase "begging bread" goes back at least as far as the Authorised Version of the Bible (1611), and "bread" is clearly the object in "I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread". Is this an exceptional use?
The thing is that "secure in the cryptographic sense" means "provably secure against a defined threat model", and the threat model may not be relevant to real world applications. My understanding of their proof of security is that the threat model is black-box evaluation, which doesn't seem very relevant to real obfuscation.
there are still some obvious improvements that could have been lifted from contemporary languages like C#, Groovy etc which would have made life easier and code a lot more readable - mixins, auto types, lambda, embedded dsls and so forth.
Fair question! I've not been able to track down a source which exactly matches my understanding; ruling C-157/03 appears to deal with some related aspects, and this analysis of Directive 2004/38/EC (not a brilliant source without provenance) in section 8.2 talks about the elimination of "residence cards" for foreign EU citizens. That's the best I've been able to find in about 45 minutes.
The card itself is still mandatory for... EU citizens whose permanent country of residence is Estonia.
That will only last as long as the first challenge in the European courts. Spain used to make its ID card mandatory for all residents, but some expat EU citizen challenged it and Strasbourg ruled that EU citizens only need identity documents from their home country.
It created the United Kingdom of Great Britain. The current composition of the United Kingdom (of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) is less than a century old.
The other way of reading that quote is that it's not possible to aggressively pursue terrorists without compromising the constitutional rights of some (extraordinary) Americans.

If you thought the arguments over hanging chads were bad, imagine the arguments over handwriting.

Serpent was a candidate, but Rijndael is the algorithm which became AES. The rest of the point stands.

Unless by "this country" you mean Switzerland, I fail to see the relevance of your rant.
Not true, although the term is still pretty serious. RIPA section 53 (as amended):
In this case they'd claim "national security", so the sentence is comparable with causing death by careless driving,
So now we'll never know whether they remembered to take into account radiation hardening.
Even better than that is the incongruence of

The USA already has an overly high incarceration rate. Raising it to 100% doesn't seem like a sensible approach.
The term is heavily overloaded. It could just as well be about RFID tags on inventory or GPS + radio tags to enforce parole conditions on convicts.
You could do that in Java 6.
Hence Java 8.

Cerberus is the Latin spelling: Kerberos is a transliteration of the Greek.
That sounds hilarious, but my Google fu is letting me down. Do you have a link?
