Why wouldn't you make key volatile? Shouldn't that solve all the problems? Or is it because it would be to slow because the compiler can't do that many optimizations in the rest of the function any more?

I like the O´Reilly books, they just use a different animal on the cover for each book.

They replaced the old design? I liked that more. But I didn't know they had ones which are not yellow. Do you know what the different colors mean?

Just because he says it's copyrighted doesn't mean it is copyrightable in the first place.

Yes that is correct. The default value gets created when the function is interpreted ("compiled").

It's strange that this took so long, and only in Berlin. If you want to drive a Taxi in Germany, you need a special driver's license. If you want to open a taxi company you need to prove that you are reliable and secure. Additionally you can't refuse a passenger (if there is nothing wrong with them) and can only charge the tarif the city says (+ additional charges like if it sunday or at night).

Where do you get that many libraries that aren't converted? Most, at least the ones still under development, are.

Do you have specifics on why strcat would be vulnerable? Or is it just because "abc"+"def" == "abcd" + "ef"?

In university we have cameras over some parts of the professors table which are directly projected on the screen. Works great without the the drawbacks of an overhead projector.

Have you tried Xylitol[1]? I use it to sweet my tea instead of regular sugar. And it should return your mouth ph fast, instead of rinsing with baking soda with doesn't sound nice.

Most people who live in Germany in cities don't have houses, only flats. How would you ever charge an electric car there? Driving to one of the superchargers each time would be pretty annoying and probably kill the battery.

It wouldn't (probably) render the algorithms who rest upon the assumption that P!=NP useless. You still have to find a fast algorithm for the problem. Just because it is in P doesn't mean there exists a (practical) fast algorithm to break the crypto.

At least for older versions of Photoshop there circulated currency-patchs so that you could edit money if you wanted to.

In Python you have a "real" constructor you can use: __new__. So I think it's good not to call __init__ a constructor. Unless of course you differ in my opinion that __new__ is a constructor?

There's a book called "Blackout" with that exact plot. I thought it was good written and the scenario not too impossible.

There is something like that for the great wall of china: http://www.greatfirewallofchina.org/

You would probably use NumPy, which even has a page for people used to Matlab: http://wiki.scipy.org/NumPy_for_Matlab_Users

But you can already upload your software to phones. You don't need the simcard for that.

How would you extend the functionality? Programming in JavaCard is really not fun (my opinion) and the space and processing power are really limited. The biggest use of it is verifying information (like pins or certificates), but what else would you do that your phone can't?

Also the standard library is really small. So after a short amount of time you have used almost all of it a few times.

It would be fun as a augmented reality game with smartphones.

They don't claim that they can crack PGP and SSH. They claim that they can crack some encryption, if it is weak. Which is quite obvious and not news or interesting.

It's really not that difficult. I live on basically the same budget (also a student in Germany), as do many others I know. I have a washing mashine which is over ten years old, but still works fine. Got it from somebody who bought a new one for free. My tv is really old, I got it from a friend who got it some years before that from their grandmother. About once a year I buy a new jeans and 1-2 tshirts.

But many modern telephone calls are not really on the old telephone line, but get converted to VOIP calls somewhere along the line.

There are some services like "Captcha Brotherhood" were you get points for solving captchas of other users, which you then can use to let other users solve your captchas.

It's really good if you want to include lots of "sciency stuff" like formulas, source code and maybe graphs. Also Bibliographies are easy in LaTeX. Plus it's free, and you don't have to learn a new tool.

PHP has a test suite, but it's released with over hundred tests failing. See here: http://gcov.php.net/viewer.php?version=PHP_5_5

There are many, but they don't get the publicity other malware gets. One example of Mac-malware would be SabPub: https://www.securelist.com/en/blog/208193467/SabPub_Mac_OS_X...

It would be fun to try it with SCIgen (http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/)!

Yeah, but that doesn't help if you have the device which decrypts the signal. Then you should be able to get the key (which would probably still be fairly difficult).
