If you compromise PRNG seed, you can predict its output. This is why seeding with full entropy for crypto applications is so important. This is why if you are running headless Linux box, you should consider XORing CPU entropy with/dev/[u]random.
Given that the show is supposedly set about a decade before TOS, and that nobody in the whole Star Trek universe heard of Spore Drive until Discovery, should mean that Spore Drive technology will fail so spectacularly that nobody ever mentions it again
What the show really needs is Picard facepalm drive.
Spore Drive could be fixed via Q dimension. Turns out it involves traveling through Q's moldy infra-dimensional fridge, and once he threw away old pizza at the back it stopped working.
It's funny how absolute fucking dimwits like yourself will cry about so-called "virtue signalling" while parading around making posts like this while jerking each other off with mod points. What else could you even call this but "virtue signalling"?
Good lord. The spectre of Down Syndrome haunts the tech world.
You don't have to be a world-leading expert on sociolinguistic micro aggressions to see that you were triggered by what I posted. I apologize for inflicting this trauma on you. I also apologize for my insensitivity of your SJW culture. I did not intend to make fun of your mating rituals, however strange they might appear to the outsider.
I have a startup that is working on creating Virtual Reality, AI-driven vending machine that sells virtual tentacle rape. Monetization will be in selling disposable pouches. Can I have 10mil seed fund?
If you intend to do prepping, at least do it right. If the world ends, and somehow you end up surviving then tools of survival will become valuable commodities - fuel, medicine, ammo, tools, food.
I use crashme to generate random code, sprinkle it with various progressive words and submit it to gender studies journals. Apparently I am now a world-leading expert on sociolinguistic micro aggressions.
I see a lot of asks to fuzz test ICMP and TCP in hopes of finding application-layer issues in various high-level protocols. I see this as a giant waste of time. Am I wrong?
It is now official - Netcraft has confirmed:/. is dying. Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered/. community when recently IDC confirmed that/. accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all web traffic. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that/. has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along./. is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
Software isn't this new thing that nobody really understands, so as-is, use at your risk is no longer should be applicable. If you sell insecure crap, then it gets hacked - your company should be responsible. Just like releasing food that poisons, electronics that electrocute, or clothing that let it all hang. Even Lululemon had to recall yoga pants because fabric showed too much when stretched...
I want my PC to be a beige box with no preloaded crapware. This is why I still build my own systems, however last one was more than 4 years ago and it is still going strong with more RAM and new video card.
Really, who is surprised here that "independent" Russian software company is a front for KGB cyber warfare division (or that CISCO is in bed with NSA) ?
Brain is more like multi-core CPU with dedicated special-purpose cores. When you split, as research shows us, you still can communicate with "talking persona" and "non-talking persona". So yes, effectively there are two "people", but they always been there. They just no longer coordinate well.
How do you expect to format a drive to make it appear when you can't make it appear to format the drive?
Try man mkfs. They are likely just piping error messages of some low level utility. For example, parted would return "error:/foo/bar: unrecognized disk".
I think this question presupposes that spending $1,000 on a smartphone is foolish. I don't think such judgmental view is reasonable, after all almost any employed first-world citizens could save $1000 over phone's expected multi-year lifetime. So such purchase, by itself, is not putting anyone into debt.
Instead, I like to view this through "Thank you early adopters!" Someone is willing to shell out all this cash to fund R&D into battery and charging, screen, and wireless data link technologies. This will translate into better electric cars and appliances, better screens, more robust network connectivity for everyone. So if you purchased one of these - thank you!
We can't expect technology to be fully viable and 100% safe from the start. By imposing such expectations we are making a lot of things commercially not viable. This is why we don't have flying cars, not because we can't build them, but because we can't make them perfectly safe.
I don't think there is a business case for CEOs, obviously they don't benefit shareholders in a long term. The CEO position should be eliminated in favor of inside-track promoted Director drawing a salary tied to a fixed multiplier of average worker's salary. No pension or retirement contributions and no stock options.
We need to get away from bonus and stock manipulation culture that creates direct incentives to CEOs that conflict with long-term shareholder interests.

Don't despair. We will always have Wesley/Worf.

What? No gratuitious gay sex?
I'm SO out of here!
To make it worse, there isn't even any fur or floppy ears to be had.
(we were led to believe it was like that one "fan" produced show with gratuitous 5 minute homosexual make-out scenes in half the episodes!)
Spok/Kirk fanfic is very established in the internet lore.
It is designed for anal probing, so yes.
Perfect. First customer.

I get the idea behind it, but shouldn't it be targeting application layer instead of lower layers?

If corporations are people, it is time to jail Equifax.
They already got failing part down to science, so they are ahead of many other startups.
