Why not just use Amazon or Google music and download everything ? Google Music is especially good because it lets you download a .zip with complete album compared to Amazon that on…

He doesn't reference it but he understands exponentiation and the birthday problem [1] that is used to find collisions when you control both files [2]. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/…

No that is not a solution. If they swapped the public key they can read the message being sent back (it is encrypted with their public key), then encrypt it again with the real pub…

The most difficult part in your setup is to make untraceable the VPN you run after going through Tor. The problem is: if you believe this VPN is safe / untraceable enough, why do y…

Nice project. Are the source available ? It would be nice to use but I'd rather host/use it locally. Besides I don't know which font (Symbola?) you use in the .pdf but it appears u…

Thank you for saying that. I would add that you need not to have ADHD, drug problems or gotten pregnant as a disadvantage: you might just come from a social/family background that …

Here is an article [1] trying to estimate that kind of numbers (wage, number of active workers, etc.) from various sources and questionning the ethics of using MTurk for science pu…

They might have changed the page since your comment but this is on the page : "Android 5.0 Lollipop, which comes on Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and Nexus Player, will also be available on Nex…

I agree that you need some user input or the program will get it wrong in some cases. But the distinction between source and destination is relevant with some algorithms (one-way s…

The quote is not yours but I discussed your post.

> Sync has always meant merging semantic changes in state between two or more devices. That is a definition of file synchronization [1]. Usually the aim of "syncing" is to input tw…

Very cool! Does anything similar exist for Android ? I would love to use some bash scripts but I don't find the terminal editors I tried practical.

The metadata Firefox is sending to Google about the unsigned binaries or binaries signed by an unstrusted party include [1]: - The target URL from which the file was downloaded, it…

What would be the "good" alternative ? I often tries "rmdir" or "rm -r" if the directory is not empty and very often there are some "protected files" so I add -f. Thus it happens t…

I am not ignoring the reality: public or semi-public posts (facebook) are not going anywhere and should be considered public information. Reading my previous post you can surely in…

The article misses the working part of the law. Book prices in France are not a free market since we have a fixed book price law ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fixed_book_price_ag…

"These letters were sent due to a computer error, the agency said in a message posted online" No this is a human error. Are they trying to avoid responsibility when this is a minor…

Yes but, for instance, if you lived under a fascist anti-gay regime and were gay you would hide it very actively. On the opposite gays today, through their correspondances, might b…

Problem is the next governments will inherit the surveillance system. Who says they won't be fascists and/or turn the country into dictatorship ? When this happens, we might see th…

I have a different experience tutoring (exercises and labs) in an engineering school in France for programming / CS beginners. We moved from Java to python this year and I miss a f…

Same here with Firefox 30.0, can type but can't read what I'm typing.

I guess the new license only applies to the release it is distributed with and this latest version removed encryption features so I doubt it will make the truecrypt project more co…

Your latest point can be resolved through explicitly asking authors to cite the paper rather than linking to the website/github repo. For instance I used Intel Pintools and they sp…
