Could the selection of primes derived from Pi be optimized to find weaker ones vs. stronger ones? eg: calculate a very large set of them and then pick the ones that are weakest and then publish that as a standard (of course you wouldn&#x27

Does anyone know where one can get a free wildcard certificate? Need it for development and foo/bar/baz/biff.example.com change names regularly (they include the hash of the code commit) so I would like to get a *.dev.exampl

The iPhone has never prevented you from running your own code on it. It shipped with a javascript SDK and then within the year they opened it up to objective-c programs. They charge you $99 a year for the certificate signing service, but i

10k distinct combinations-- if, and only iff, they used a 7 digit all numeric pin. The odds of this are not bad for most people, but in this case the person who had this phone has shown better than the average criminals level of OpSec. One

Does anyone really believe he can do it? Is anyone taking him seriously? I see this as a campaign stunt for the LP nod. But for me, it only confirms that Gary Johnson is the right choice. McAfee isn't exactly striking a resonant cho

The phone in question was a work phone, not a personal phone. In work environments the enterprise IT tools control how the phone is administered, backed up, and the like. Which means that the company that issued the phone most likely had

Transplant yourself to any other police state. Anywhere with a very strong government hell bent on controlling its citizens. Eastern Germany, Or the USSR, or Germany under the Nazis. How did the government get such power? Immediately via o

I'm not sure which "other side" you're targeting with your argument, but as a gun rights advocate its' completely consistent to be a privacy rights advocate-- and basically a human rights advocate. That it doesn&#x2

We don't need to have a discussion. As you point out we already had it. It doesn't matter. We want privacy, we believe we have human rights. They don't care. They want power. That's what this all boils down to. They w

Also, the court isn't asking, its' demanding, and its demanding Apple create a vulnerability in a system designed to thwart such vulnerabilities. I'm not sure it's even possible. What if Apple didn't fight this yet

You don't see them going after servers, because the servers are far more vulnerable.

This ruling didn't make corporations people, it gave groups of people the right to exercise the free speech rights they already had, even when they choose to pool their money to buy the media on which they wish to express themselves.

First off, depends on how you use the word "regulate". But the government has done a poor job of regulating money, and well, to be honest, money is really the result of our efforts / labors, and thus yeah, the government shou

If you discover a problem with a product, you either don't release it or you fix it. You don't need to tell others (and others don't have a right) what you've discovered. To think otherwise is to think that my invention

Brand new software that-- and this seems to be missed in the wider discussion-- may be impossible to produce. It may not be possibly for Apple to comply. For instance, you can't install firmware on a locked phone.

Also, the FCC should not be able to make rules like this. This is why we have a three branch system. Congress doesn't have the legal power, in the constitution, to give agencies the power to make laws (Even if they call them "Ru

The proper, legal way to transport a firearm while flying is in the bag. Last time I did it (this was before 2001 and the police state hysteria we're in now) all that you had to do was get a little sticker for the bags handle at the ch

Do you realize it is perfectly legal to transport a firearm in your luggage? You just check it at the counter, and they usually put a flag on the case to indicate it has been cleared (to make sure it's unloaded.) I wonder how many of t

To be honest, I'm at a loss for why articles from this publication, and other similar ones whose primary output is.. spin and politics... are on the front page here. Not news, not for hackers, not tech, not startups. This article is pu

No better proof of the intellectual bankruptcy than the left can be found in the constant bashing of Ayn Rand -- and the companion ignoring of her philosophy - Objectivism. Or the book Atlas Shrugged, which is a 1,000 page logical argument

And my understanding is that everything after the 5C is less vulnerable to even this attack (Which itself may not be possible, even with a firmware update.)

No, they state clearly that this is what the court ordered them to do. That doesn't mean it is possible. The court doesn't care whether something is possible or not.

Quantum was the premiere maker of SCSI drives back in the day. They were beating IBM and IBM needed more capacity so IBM bought them. Then IBM sold to Hitachi, who sold the drive business to Western Digital who sold the drive business to T

As an anarchs-capitalist I'd be happy to have a society where anarchs-communists had their communes and lived under their own rules. This may seem off topic but its directly relevant- we regularly have these debates in the anarchist co
