1) Is this FUD from the FBI re:Tor trying to discourage it where they actually used other methods to find him, e.g. Harvard logging traffic and Tor did its job? 2) Don't shit where you eat. Use a public network, like a café

Being urged and built by Hitler... Paving over known roman sites/ruins before full excavation.

Oh man, don't get me started on cooking meth...

I generally think of Unicode as UTF-16x - strictly 16bit non-encoded character position. Yes, I realize Unicode has expanded beyond 16 bits.

I wait a few releases before attempting an upgrade. Each and every time so far I've needed to submit new bug reports for anaconda. Now apparently since FC18 (I'm on 16, trying to skip to 19.. for a few days. Everything is broken :( ) the DVD image can no longer upgrade, but apparently writes a preloaded image for fresh install only. PITA!

One of my old work places had fancy glass doors with a touch bar to get out, badge swipe to get in. We used to keep a paperclip in the planter box by the door outside to stick through the gap and touch the bar with. It always opened.

I see you've never set up a WPA connection outside of a GUI. A hash is created from your SSID+Passphrase as the key.

The second "larger" image was processed differently - more lightening of the dark end & over exposed. All the stars bloom in the new image as they've been enhanced stronger than the older image. Granted the internal filaments did move slightly, there is cheating to make it look more pronounced.

Well, not much would change then, would it?

The drop wasn't near tall enough to watch the thinning of the drop tail, and you can see they messed with it to try and get it - they raised the armature holding the funnel after it had dropped causing it to sheer off under the funnel and plop to the side. If they had allowed it to fall further I imagine there would be a tapered very long, stringy, wispy filament.

I haven't bothered yet, but I would have imagined it to be just like windows CE. a near-drop-in-identical API to Win32, cross-architecture

I have successfully restored between devices from a single backup and retained all my WiFi connections. (iPod > iPhone)

Isn't the MS Surface RT an ARM windows device? Not sure of the bit-depth, though... the chipset mentions plans for 64, so future forward?

WPA handshake/crypto is done by hash of SSID+phrase, there is no need to store the original phrase but it is, as far as I can tell, for end-user convenience when changing your AP's SSID and not having to rekey the passphrase. Though on the client side I can't think of a reason for it... In the end, though, the hash can be considered the new passphrase but not exactly human-readable.
Granted "reversible" is redundant when talking about encryption, I never implied a hash was reversible.

Maybe the do save the hash instead of recalculating it on the fly, but they do also store the original passphrase. Otherwise tools like WiFiPAsswords wouldn't work. Still handy if the person changed their AP name but keeps the old password.
