Yes. There is for thing dedicated random number hardware and there is hardware that can produce partially random data, such as network cards and radios, but the latter are only really good when combined with eachother and with a random number tracker, which is something the OS can do.

No, I prefer GPL when other choices are equal. GnuTLS has just never had a very good reputation, and even from the most optimistic point of view, it has always been secondary to OpenSSL just by having fewer users and fewer developers. I would be great if it was better, but it has had some unfortunately design choice and a long string of serious vulnerabilities. Just look it up.

Because on a unix system you just read from /dev/random anyway. Random seeds is an operating system responsibility, you can not make good random numbers without a little good random seed.

It also has a much worse track record in security, which is why no one uses it as the a primary SSL library and only as a library for operating on certificates.

Logitech Anywhere MX is similar except it actually has a separate button for the middle mouse button. The wheel click is changed to be the free-wheeling lock which makes much more sense.

Also, free wheeling for the win.

Use the lenseflares, Luke!

No.... There is nothing that man can't make stupid.

I assume this is in the US. Where the cables are in the air going from the house to the utility pole, just like in 3rd world countries. They probably cut the telephone cable as well if there was one, but who would notice that?

EISA was parallel with VL-BUS for a long time, where consumer hardware used VL-BUS and enterprise or server hardware used EISA. PCI replaced both that wasn't until the mid 1990s. Still 20 years ago though.

Yeah I have often missed it too, but I guess the point is that if the post is incorrect you should reply to it and correct it, and moderators should look for replies that correct it to upvote.

The real problem is that you are not allowed to comment after voting on a story.

You should happy they removed home and end. At least if you are running OS X. You might end up hitting them otherwise, and then chaos and stupidity ensues. It seems Apple instead of fixing the retarded behavior of home and end in OS X just removed the buttons so users would hit them and be thrown around and lose the position in the document they were working on. Typical Apple; fixing the problem, not by admitting any fault but by removing user options.

What coffin? Polygraphs are a hoax intended to scare stupid criminals into confessing. It does even work on real memories, why would it work on false ones?

WTF is going on with the left margin. God damn it, it is broken in every single browser. Are they crapping on classic slashdot to punish us for beta not working?

If you personally create a remote account for a North Korean spy and he uses this exploit to see you power control settings. You really were asking for it, not sure what but something.

You are right, it doesn't make it any less of a threat, which is to say any less that non existing. You are exactly who this article is about, you have been conned into thinking AIs are actually real and could in any near future cause a threat to you, when that is in fact not the case. AI do not exists, all those software emulating AI are all smart systems working either deterministic based on specific rules set out or does stastical modeling to make guesses at what you mean or what they are looking at. Stastical modeling that makes a black yellow striped pattern look like a school bus, because it has no concept of anything and not intelligence in any sense of the word and that is the just what fits the statistical model.

"apt-get install openrc" is hard???

Why are you trolling? Debian might BE switching to systemd, but it is still optional in Jessie, all the other init systems still work.

Besides systemd is modular, you only need to install the modules you want and need.
