In my opinion, understanding how attacks work is more important then the software used to protect yourself with. For higher security, understanding how to implement attacks of all kinds (from social engineering, to exploiting weak cryptography) and being adept at inventing new attacks will vastly improve your security over what …

As much as I hate taking dreams apart peice by peice, I feel like I need to serve the truth. > My theory is that ternary computers are infintely better than binary and will last longer Scientists would back it up, and would not use the phrase "infinetly better". So …

If you'd like to share code, consider using the sites "snippits" system. If you have a question, then recreate the problem with a few lines of code, and ask a question (and include the input and the output).

Hi abako4. Please start a new thread rather then hijacking someone elses. If you just want to get straight into making software, then there are definatly a lot of possibilities. I would guess that C, Java, C++, Python and C# are some of the most popular (in that order-ish). However, …

Well, "careers" would know several languages well and be able to pick up most practical languages on the spot. If you're an employer, and you see someone who only programs in C++ vs. someone who programs in serveral languages and has experience in various feilds of computing, then you probably …

Also, If you encrypt a partition/system, you will: 1) Decrpyt volume with Truecrypt. 2) Encrypt volume with Veracrypt. Veracrypt uses a huge number of iteration in thr KDF. While it's secure, it's inconvienient for the person starting the computer (I estimate about 30-40) seconds on my laptop. The KDF in …

Don't run g++ as administrator if it doesn't need it (I highly dout it will run faster). This isn't a problem I normally hear about, and lots of people seem to be running it fine. So I have a feeling it's more to do with your particular setup. Is anything …

61 pages... I hope this wasn't mentioned already. In 1939, Ernest Vincent Wright wrote a book called [URL="http://www.spinelessbooks.com/gadsby/"]Gadsby[/URL] without using the letter 'e'. He didn't cheat by using '*' instead of 'e'. He never used a word with 'e' in it once, and the book (for it's time) made sence. …

In procedural languages, using a temp is probably best. I actually can think of one way that does not require any extra variables, works for any datatype and is also very natural. It also doesn't involve any "dirty tricks," or even extra memory over what would be used for not …

I'm currently a 3rd year Mathematics and Computer Science. My recommendation is to take your time (make sure you allocate enough time) in understanding your OWN answers to assignments. "Getting an answer" or "it works, its good enough" is completly useless if you don't understand what's going on. In fact, …

Well, to be completly accurate. On an x86 (including x86-64) IBM compatible system: When the computer FIRST starts up, the BIOS cannot use the RAM immediatly. The BIOS's first task is usually to detect the RAM so it can continue to perform it's other functions. For this, the BIOS uses …

You'll probably need to implement your own mechanism for looking at hardware changes. You'll want to look at various incrmental backup solutions, or implement your own. Are you storing the backups on an hdd? A tape? Optical disks? Do you need encryption? Compression?

I like Ubuntu and Red Hat. The reasons are simple: They're commercially supported and developed, have good free support and the community is big.
