The Chinese authorities will hold him until they feel he has given them all he knows, then quickly extradite him to the US. At that point he will probably try to get to Europe. If he makes it, his appeal to those governments on humanitarian

Every browser seems to implement its own password management scheme. None of them are as good as the same functionality that already exists in the operating system. Browsers should request access to passwords from the OS when needed, perhap

Technically the NSA is a part of the DOD. They assist the ODNI which is civilian, although its leadership role is limited.

I think the US government is not on the list because they don't need this program. The NSA finds its exploits directly from the source code, which Microsoft shares with them and many other governments, not second-hand from Microsoft.

I hope Snowden realizes that none of this matters if an FBI agent is sitting beside the reporter as they communicate.

An open message to Snowden: this reporter would hand over his private key in a second.

He probably pissed off some member of the royal family, whom are more important to the US than intellectuals.

Although this wasn't news to most people here, keep in mind that the US has always denied doing economic espionage, against China or anyone else. The Snowden leak also revealed that the largest target of US espionage in Europe is Germa

There exist proof and verification tools for C, like ACSL and Frama-C, [1] or LCL and Splint. [2,3] Not to mention the myriad of static and dynamic analysis tools. You can prove that a piece of C code does or doesn't contain certain bugs

I'm glad I came across this article. I'm learning Python and was given that advice to use multiprocessing rather than threading, but hadn't researched why. Very informative, thanks for sharing.

This looks great. It could be the PGFPlots of Javascript.

Without going into the technical details described by other commenters here, this is my understanding of the problem (please correct me if I'm wrong): You receive the code that is run, from the same entity you should be protecting yourself

The fact that their website still doesn't have a viewable demonstration of their software suggests it actually isn't so easy to make interactive content like Snow Fall . The only thing I could find was this very annoying video: http://www

You can always put the idea on hold for a while, and find regular work until you decide to go back to it. The work you put into it so far isn't going anywhere.

To me, the next power of two after 4 is 8, not 4. If you prefer, you can add a line to simply return the input if it is already a power of two: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_of_two#Fast_algorithm_to_... (Edit: You forgot to subtract

A ring cut from a single crystal of silicon may be strong enough. Regardless, it would look very nice.

We were taught sine, cosine and tangent in the context of how they could be used to derive angles from other angles, not what they were and how they worked. They were presented as tools that could be used in particular ways that had to be

Past Mach 10, a layer of plasma is formed on the leading surface of the aircraft, which RF cannot traverse. This is also why atmospheric reentry occurs in a blackout. There's a good explanation of the phenomenon here: http://www.scientific

Congratulations on a successful test flight. Aircraft that fly up to Mach 10 can still use radio communication. That wasn't the case with the Falcon Project's HTV-2. I guess the Air Force wants a GPS-guided hypersonic cruise missile.

I'm glad the subject is being studied, it's a very interesting problem. Proper solutions are much more sophisticated than it seems. You have to ensure that the checks you use in the checker functions don't themselves cause overflows. If you

Your question is based on anecdotal evidence. You should instead ask why so few women and girls in your life are inquisitive about their world? In my personal experience, women are just as inquisitive as men, if not more, as evidenced by

Shame on this so-called school. We've all done this (probably with vinegar and baking soda) only a million times.

I've always disliked the perception that poor people necessarily eat poorly. Rice, wheat, barley, oats, beans, and root vegetables are grown in abundance in developed countries and so are inexpensive; they do not spoil quickly; and are very

Wow, I hadn't read the book and never knew that about Feynman. Very disappointing.

Oh, I see now. The only service I know that comes close is the openSUSE Build Service: https://build.opensuse.org/ But it is primarily used for packaging, not testing.

I haven't used it myself, but Buildbot sounds like what you're looking for: http://trac.buildbot.net Alternatives include Mozilla Tinderbox and Atlassian Bamboo. If you have success with any of these, I'd love to read about it (I follow y
