Just like Private Browsing Modes in Chrome/Firefox tell you that they won't protect from agents.
I think people solve universal login without any service fairly successfully. They use the same email as account name and the same password on every service. There is really no need to have some external provider that…
Does stock based compensation of 640 million mean that they are buying 640 million dollars worth of their own stock each year?
Events in the sense of: Here are all the queer reggae parties in Birmingham tonight/the next three months displayed on a map. If you decide to attend, get a semianonymous link you can send to all your friends by…
People not using Windows, wont see this font to begin with, unless they chose to install Comic Sans for some reason.
There are efforts by Microsoft Research in this direction: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/projects/slam/ They have developed several domain specific languages and specification tools for developing drivers. I think…
Lots of european cities have pedestrian zones, usually in the historical center of the city, there also aren't as many malls. The traditional medieval european city layout has market, town and church squares at their…
One symmetric cryptography method are one-time pads. Essentially you generate a truly random key (for example by observing some decay process) that has the same length as the maximum length of a message you might want…
What I don't understand why most crypto libraries are then implemented in an inherently unsafe language. I feel something like the secure subset of Ada would have been much more apropriate.
Rewriting from scratch can be beneficial, take the V8 engine in Chrome for example.
Obama went back to just killing suspected terrorists, instead of torturing them.
I think you have misconceptions about what American policy has been in the past. Remember all the US backed coups in South and Central America, accompied by mass slaughter of political opposition (e.g. Contras in…
Remember there are lots of NP hard problems, that soak up any additional computing power you throw at them. A lot of them are very important (placement in EDA for example). Supercomputers today are already 1000000…
What I don't understand is why there aren't companies around that have an interest in improving this software and pay ~1-5 people ~1 million to rewrite it in a year.
Fortran was not meant to be a systems programming language. The fact that it did not have memory management does actually make sense in scientific applications, where you typically know your problem size in advance or…
Maybe it is time for an updated version of USENET, not tied to Google a la Google groups. I am aware that it still exists but the clients are outdated and they could use additional features.
In many countries what separates a Civil Union (that may in fact also be between Man and Woman) and Marriage are tax benefits an easy fix would be to just tie the tax benefits to something else, like the fact that you…
Apples OpenGL drivers are known to have sub par performance compared to those for Linux and Windows.
The last time I tried to use an AMD video card with 3d acceleration under Linux it was a horrible experience. Nvidias binary drivers just work out of the box even with the most recent hardware and have OpenGL 4.3…
It was definitely also one of the things that stood out to me as being an odd example for inappropriate behaviour.
Ironically Facebook has the same walled garden philosophy.
Ironically if the Government was not spending that much money, fiat money would be worthless.
If there are enough teenagers like me, that dreamed of making there own game and researched game engines only to find that there weren't really any available for (almost) free, that could potentially be a nice enough…
The point is that digital copies cost (almost) nothing, so by standard market principles you would not expect to pay something.
Hollywood shutting down would not be a huge loss to the world. Movies of cultural value could still be funded and then be made available to the public.
