There's always "powershell.exe -command ..." to get PowerShell to download an .exe from a web server and run it.

"PC" meant "primary cassette", the main paper tray of HP printers of the time. Other paper trays connected would say other things there when out of paper. "Letter" is the paper size.

They really should use quantum-resistant algorithms alongside a traditional algorithm for now so that you have to crack both. Quantum algorithms are very new compared to our old favorites. One of the NIST finalists for quantum-resistant crypto was cracked using classical computing near the end of the standardization process, highlighting the danger of relying on these alone.

Wake me when I can factor 1024-bit RSA keys. The Nintendo DSi and I have unfinished business.

I'm a pessimist, so I'm guessing--with no evidence--that we will find out that keeping N qubits coherent requires energy exponential in N, meaning that quantum computers are mostly useless.

...and it hasn't bothered me much.

Capcom's Zelda games--Minish Cap and the two Oracles--did mix up the formula a bit though.

Could the midday solar power glut be used to spin up flywheels, then be used with generators to provide the late afternoon air conditioning power?

The ARM64 version of Windows 11 has emulators for both x86-32 and x86-64 applications, and it works for most programs.

Getting a player's game process to execute arbitrary code is "hacking the two players' computers directly", so their statement is BS.

It's pretty easy to compress:

Integral from -1 to 1 of (1/sqrt(1 - x^2)) dx.

0.121121112111121111121111112... is irrational, but I can tell you with just some quick calculations that the 150,000,000,000,000th digit is 1. (The 150,000,007,349,285th digit is the next 2.)

The last part, the right to petition the Government for redress of grievances, is what this is about. You have a right to complain to government officials, though of course they don't have to care. Blocking someone on a social media account that is used for official government messaging is blocking such "petitions".

Otherwise it's all just hype.

ARM CPUs have a flag that can be toggled that makes all instructions take the same amount of time no matter what their input is, to try to defeat timing attacks.

So yeah, it could be done.

The first thing pirates will do is turn off the blacklist in their browser.

When you're talking billions of stars each with a few planets on average, you're bound to get some extremely unlikely outliers. The lottery is easy to win when you buy billions of tickets.
