"Based on our review to date, the passphrase was not used during the time of the intrusion on the system and the passphrase is not stored on any of the Fedora servers." 3 http://www.furl.net/item/36625220/forward http://www.furl.net/item/36625220 Fri, 15 Aug 2008 15:34:22 GMT misc 3 http://www.furl.net/item/36594271/forward http://www.furl.net/item/36594271 Thu, 14 Aug 2008 15:29:51 GMT humor 3 http://www.furl.net/item/36554273/forward http://www.furl.net/item/36554273 Wed, 13 Aug 2008 13:19:28 GMT universities policy and law 3 http://www.furl.net/item/36520906/forward http://www.furl.net/item/36520906 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 19:30:29 GMT network 3 http://www.furl.net/item/36379444/forward http://www.furl.net/item/36379444 Fri, 08 Aug 2008 16:56:58 GMT humor 3 http://www.furl.net/item/36347726/forward http://www.furl.net/item/36347726 Thu, 07 Aug 2008 19:15:00 GMT science UR Most scientists have believed that the instant a quantum object was measured it would "collapse" from being in all the locations it could be, to just one location like a classical object. Jordan proposed that it would be possible to weakly measure the particle continuously, partially collapsing the quantum state, and then "unmeasure" it, causing the particle to revert back to its original quantum form, before it collapsed. 3 http://www.furl.net/item/35265238/forward http://www.furl.net/item/35265238 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 16:24:05 GMT software Instead, we developed Protocol Buffers. Protocol Buffers allow you to define simple data structures in a special definition language, then compile them to produce classes to represent those structures in the language of your choice. These classes come complete with heavily-optimized code to parse and serialize your message in an extremely compact format. Best of all, the classes are easy to use: each field has simple "get" and "set" methods, and once you're ready, serializing the whole thing to – or parsing it from – a byte array or an I/O stream just takes a single method call. OK, I know what you're thinking: "Yet another IDL?" Yes, you could call it that. But, IDLs in general have earned a reputation for being hopelessly complicated. On the other hand, one of Protocol Buffers' major design goals is simplicity. By sticking to a simple lists-and-records model that solves the majority of problems and resisting the desire to chase diminishing returns, we believe we have created something that is powerful without being bloated. And, yes, it is very fast – at least an order of magnitude faster than XML. 3 http://www.furl.net/item/35101950/forward http://www.furl.net/item/35101950 nice examples of many different resize filters Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:27:16 GMT misc 3
