    Since watching CITIZENFOUR I've always wondered, why would they bother destroying their laptops, since it is so easy to make and conceal a copy of those documents.

    False. Mill does not do register renaming. ( Or use "lies". I failed to comprehend you second sentence. ) Here is a talk from one of the designers explaining how it is done: https:…

    All ASCII characters are easily accessible. Your suggestion is a strawman, most coding is in plain text form and is typed. I did a quick calculation a while back. I don't want to r…

    Yes, I did. But so far I haven't been regularly checking printf return value. :-( I wonder if checking the result of every printf or asserting it, depending on the circumstances, w…
