Well, you can make dvi and convert it into svg with dvisvgm; taking the inconsistent, usually terrible browser rendering and absolute lack of a proper typesetting in HTML into account this is probably the only way to achieve a nice web-published text (;
The niche for fast HWRNGs actually exists in the stochastic simulation business (physics, statistics, machine learning, finance, to some extent CG); "real" randomness helps in scaling over tons of cores and specialised hardware must be in principle faster than general hardware executing software PRNG.
The bar is set high, though; the dream is about 1GB/s, RDRAND achieves 500-700MB/s.
Well sure, but DKIM can sign the sender so it can do the SPF work connected with an envelope spoofing filter. Still, my idea was that a spammer who can put a valid DKIM signature won't likely have any problems with SPF.
From my experience, Gmail will send to spam everything from a small server that has no SPF (even when DKIM is on and OK -- which is strange because it basically has SPF built-in) and when the sender is not in the address book -- this is pretty enough for massive issues.
Assuming that we can breaks nothing; particles will concentrate, but without the barrier they will spread again and this would be a disturbance that simply averages out.
This is nonsense; entropy and the arrow of time are essentially a many-body effects and require no quantum effects to occur. A simplest way to see it is to make small simulation of a, say, 1000 gas particles with only classical bouncing in a one side of a box partitioned in half with a barrier, obviously with a time-reversible numerical method -- after the removal of the barrier the gas will evenly spread over the box without any entanglement.
I just think that invisible hand of the market is an equally virtual limit effect as the many eyes ensemble. The stream of closed-source vulnerabilities is also substantial and a time-to-fix is much larger there, what effectively pays for the additional effort required to identify a flaw.
No free lunch in security rather hides in the trade-off with convenience.
The worse problem is that once you get the private key you can MITM the traffic or, if forward security was not used, decrypt a sniffed one -- this will limit the casual attacker to a directed attacks, though.
Onyx made something like that already; the software is terrible (although hackable) and there is no place to attach stylus to the reader, but it is only ~300USD
Randomness is not any physical entity and thus "entropy" here is just a word for data that cannot be derived from a system state. When it is not available, the attacker still has to know the seed of kernel's PRNG to be able to re-create the keys you generated in this state. To this end, she/he has to either sniff some impractically large amount of the PRNG output (and if this is possible your machine is likely already compromised), be able to set it to a given value (see above), or to know it from some prior knowledge, for instance has an image of the VM you use or knows the default value set on boot when no entropy is available whatsoever.
In other words, if the seed hasn't leaked it is easier to brute-force the key than to fit the CPRNG output that generated it.
Maths people always complain about the fact that cross product is reasonable only in 3D, but from a physical point of view this may be an argument why the universe has 3 spatial dims (;
Note that I am criticising the idea of "general" or "intuitive" correlation; actually useful correlation measures (like Pearson or Spearman) will be just always tied to some model of dependence. This way it cannot be directly tied to the obviously absolute dependence.
Two problems: first is that casual association may be invisible to even hand-waving criteria; think good crypto PRNG output which is fully determined by seed and is serial number, but the parameters are practically unfittable from the data because the function is so chaotic. Second thing is that the more hand-waving you allow the more totally incidental relations will look "true". With a modern amounts of hypotheses, even Pearson correlation often becomes useless in this manner.
In the good old times quantum computer used to be just a circuitry that processes qbits with gates that perform quantum operations (this is what can run Shor's RSA breaking magic); D-Wave machines have nothing to do with this.
As far as I understand the whole thing, they are just "solving" the minimization of some tunable potential function by just being pushed into such potential and allowed to relax to the lowest energy state -- it is like finding a lowest point of a hole by throwing a ball into it and looking where it stops (and being happy that it runs faster than a numeric code simulating the physics of such ball). The quantum part here is only the fact that quantum effects should help the search to escape local minima, but the speed-up mostly comes from the fact it is basically an analog device.
In fact, it can actually help killing nationalism as it shows that most cultural nations have a very diverse ancestry and thus are purely cultural phenomena.
I guess EU would require Sony to certify the player for food contact and that would be expensive enough to be not worth the trouble. Or require to wipe any suggestions that the water is drinkable.
...which was called such because the painting got dirty and buried under tons of varnish; the actual title is "The Company of captain Frans Banning Cocq and lieutenant Willem van Ruytenburch preparing to march out."
For me the worst thing was the way it handles multiple devices -- AFAIK when there are few clients with the same priority connected, the server delivers messages completely arbitrarily, usually only to a one of them and based on some crazy criterion like the last connection time; not to mention that the context is always lost. I ended up using SSH client and irssi :(
