Still better having new universal standards come out over time (as requirements exceed the capabilities of the previous standards) than having a different one for each company or device.

Needs Microsoft added to the list.
"My" can mean possession or it can mean association.
Wait does that mean I can only have up to 4 billion games on my client before the game list overflows and I start losing games at the end of the list?
I used my money to put one of their games in my library and when I noticed (after the refund window) that it was an Ubisoft game, I decided to play something else.
I don't subscribe to the sunk cost fallacy.
Assuming that "concern" was in good faith in the first place. I believe it was a bad faith pretext for not venting the gas because it's a well known fact that nitrogen makes up a significant portion of the atmosphere. If they were really worried about the nitrogen displacing enough oxygen to be dangerous, I can think of several ways to eliminate that risk even if I play along and accept that it's possible.
- Vent the room. Or use a large room and a fan.
- Place oxygen meters in the room that sound an alarm if oxygen drops below 20%.
- Give oxygen masks to anyone who needs to be in the room.
With the hash one, it doesn't look like that could be exploited by an attacker doing the bad hashing themselves, since any collisions they do find will only be relevant to the extra hashing they do on their end.
But that encryption one still sounds like it could be exploited by an attacker applying more encryption themselves. Though I'm assuming there's a public key the attacker has access to and if more layers of encryption make it easier to determine the associated private key, then just do that?
Though when you say they share the same secret, my assumption is that a public key for one algorithm doesn't map to the same private key as another algorithm, so wouldn't cracking one layer still be uncorrelated with cracking the other layers? Assuming it's not reusing a one time pad or something like that, so I guess context matters here.
I tried that without a password manager for a little while. But then my answers were too abstract to remember, so now I also use a password manager for that.
In the case of the first nitrogen execution, they did dick all to vent away the carbon dioxide he was exhaling, so it eventually saturated the gas he was able to breathe and his lungs wouldn't have been able to get rid of any more. When you hold your breath, the discomfort and urge to breathe again comes from the CO2 buildup rather than the lack of oxygen.
If the exhaled gas gets vented properly, then there's no discomfort. That they didn't get this part right for the execution suggests malice, or at the very least extreme negligence because it doesn't take expertise to understand this, just a little bit of depth in knowing how suffocation works. Which you'd figure people designing and carrying out an execution would seek.
And cannibalism!
Q: What do you often see when you look out your back window?
A: Vladimir Putin riding a horse shirtless.
Hey maybe the GOP got connected with Putin because he was often at Palin's backyard BBQs when he would ride over to say hi when he saw the gathering.
Though I also just noticed there's only two letters different between Putin and Palin... Maybe it was just Putin in a wig the whole time.

The symmetry and not needing to glance at the end of the plug (or rotate it several times to figure out if it's rotated wrong or just isn't aligned properly) is nice.
