I must have tried over a dozen implementations but any that use Microsoft's cryptographic libraries produce different hashes than PHP implementations.Then you're doing something wrong - standards are standards.-justice (December 20, 2011, 06:11 AM)

Perhaps it is important news. I read in The Register that StartCom, which operates StartSSL, suffered a security breach that occurred last Wednesday.It matters if the breach is big enough and handled unprofessionally enough - *cough* DigiNotarw *cough*-erikts (June 20, 2011, 10:41 PM)
I personally see nothing wrong if they are changing their licensing agreement for new customers, just don't pooch your old customers by virtually tearing up the old contract and shoving the new one down their throats.Yeah. Unfortunately, what are you going to do as a software developer when you see that there's no longer new purchases of your software? I think most of the companies that start out by offering lifetime upgrades sincerely belive that they're going to be able to do that, and don't like it when they have to retract that.-Cloq (December 18, 2011, 11:49 AM)
Pretty sad (for AMD) that the 4-core Intel Core i7 2600K is better than the 8-core Bulldozer in most of those benchmarks. That's not to mention that the 6-core Phenom II is often better than the Bulldozer. What were AMD thinking?Probably the engineers were all "fsck, fsck, fsck, we're never going to pull this off", and marketing went a little too creative. When is the last time anybody heard from John Fruehe?-Deozaan (December 17, 2011, 10:48 PM)
And besides that, the .rar fileformat doesn't have any (big) benefits over the other compressed fileformats that makes it worth to pay for.It wasn't until 7-zip that there was a competitive compression format with both speed and size - and it took a while before 7-zip on high compression settings got fast. And are there any of the other archivers that support advanced features like saving NTFS alternate data streams and security ACLs? On top of that, WinRAR has pretty flexible commandline support, and at least 7-zip comes nowhere near that.
Nor the illusion of 'support' from any of these suppliers.-Ath (December 18, 2011, 05:43 AM)
As popular war advances, peace is closer.
I'll bet $128 no one would bust that with anything less than 3 months and $100,000 of services. Aka. Never.Yeah.-TaoPhoenix (December 15, 2011, 05:43 PM)
Intel's OpenCL implementation can't utilise the on-chip GPU. I believe I've read that their future integrated GPUs will be supported, but the current ones won't be.So, write code for DirectCompute?-Eóin (December 15, 2011, 02:37 PM)
(that should be supported... one of the gpgpu APIs definitely is, as there's transcoders utilizing the onchip gpu).Stop perpetuating that false quotea 2048-core laptop sounds plain old lame to me.And 640K of memory is all anyone will ever need.-f0dder (December 13, 2011, 03:24 PM)-wraith808 (December 13, 2011, 03:58 PM)
