Oh? Maybe you'd like to share with us where we can download it to try it ourselves...

I'm surprised they didn't have some kind of coolant media they could vent across exchangers to dump heat - you wouldn't need to carry very much, and you (generally...) only launch once on a mission.

AFAIK the coolants that would be used in that setting would be highly radioactive and/or toxic or extraordinarily hot - think "primary loop" reactor coolant. What the ISS is having problems with is more like the water cooling stuff in your car or PC (if you've a water-cooled CPU/GPU)

Yes. The electronics getting hot and shutting off will, for no apparent reason, expend significant amounts of delta-v, deorbiting the station.

Who is "we?"

If you can feed in a seed and get the same output reliably, it's not a RNG, but a PRNG.

If you're using /dev/random (or the Windows equivalent) instead of /dev/urandom for that, you're an idiot and probably have lots of open bugs related to your game hanging.

Yarrow is hardly vague.

I'm not talking about the 'chacha' part, but rather the '@openssh.com' part.

It worked, didn't it?

Well, sure. For a very, very short amount of time.

Huh? Where was that implied?

The parent of this thread didn't either, they paid for a legitimate copy upon finding out that they had a pirated copy. The developer responded by giving them some nice swag, instead of banning and/or lawyering up as one might expect these days.

Also, why are you responding to something I said in a post I didn't say it in? I assume slashdot's threading is to blame.

I'm talking about "chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com" rather than the chacha20 or poly1305 parts :)

Why would you name an algorithm after what appears to be a support email address?

AT&T is pretty well used to this by now...
