  1. @Trurl You seem to be obsessed with RSA and prime number factorization. 1) for illegal activity there are much simpler ways.. 2) for legitimate activity, i.e. encrypting your own data in a way that no one will be able to read them, there are much simpler ways.. i.e. you create your own algorithm.. Work for hours..
  2. The best cryptographic algorithms are ("can be") your own - only you know the details of the algorithm, there are no desktop or mainframe or GPU ready tools that can be used against your data..
  3. Only a small portion of all energy will be converted into electricity. Start by using a wattmeter on these devices, and then find out what the heat conversion factor of a steam engine is to electricity, and you'll know how much you need to burn to make it work. Cheap, simple, that means not advanced, that means inefficient, that is, the fuel-to-electricity conversion ratio unsatisfactory...
  4. If your goal is to have electricity, solar panels and wind turbine are the best option, not some steam engine, unless you are in northern Canada, Norway, Russia or Antarctica and have six months of night.. It's even illegal in most countries. You would have to steal the wood. Some modern campers have built-in solar panels on the roof..
  5. You "forgot" to describe what you are asking and what you are struggling with..
  6. Like this? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstag_fire
  7. When there were no countries, there were no wars between countries..
  8. ..a peace and quiet.. ? When? Which? Russian Duma? ASAP!
  9. He has repeated this many times on other occasions. BTW, I am also on Linux.. ..and it is irrelevant.... because anyone can use VirtualBox/VMWare and switch from Linux to Windows or vice versa in no time.. Let's imagine a hypothetical situation that he does not have root privileges or does not want to install additional software. With a non-important (personal data), you can even do it online: https://www.google.com/search?q=convert+odt+to+pdf+online Printing itself on Linux is tough without resorting to strange file formats.. Linux drivers are often created by third-party developers by reverse-engineering Windows drivers, from executable not source code, since manufacturers have not created their own.
  10. In programming we call them data structures ("objects" in C++/Java). They can be pretty darn complicated; compared to them, a tensor looks like an offspring.. Data structures consist of simpler data structures that at their core consist of built-in types that are supported natively ("scalars"). A matrix is such a data type that is slightly after scalars and vectors and well below more complex data structures.
  11. But he has to do it with the finished ODT document.. so not "linux print to pdf", but "convert/export odt to pdf".. Thinking and research should be done prior buying printer. After, it is too late. For a few pages, print screen solution could be used even on smartphone. That's how some Android apps work. They load document in proprietary file format to which there is library, and then print to PNG and then merge to final PDF (therefor it is damn huge).
  12. I would be a very surprised that such odd file, non-standard, file format is supported... Not really.. Option which always work is to press print screen key and save file as PNG.. Repeat for every page manually, or make script which will do it for you.. AutoHotkey should help. https://www.autohotkey.com/ There is also Linux alternative. It is built-in my distro, IIRC. It is irrelevant. You can use VirtualBox or VMWare. It is not a big download.. https://www.virtualbox.org/ Download Windows 10 ISO from the Microsoft website. It is a huge download > 4 GB. Windows have virtual printer and any document can be printed to the file. LibreOffice should have an option to export to PDF: https://www.google.com/search?q=LibreOffice+export+pdf
  13. ..it does matter if you write "Volodya" or "volodya".. ..because it tells your attitude toward mass murderer..
  14. ..what is a fake? Aren't you fake? You would not be able to prove you are not fake..
  15. You misspelled it. Iron-y-meter...
  16. ..oh my little loved bits on my little computer memory..
  17. ..God loves computers..
  18. Try clearing your browser cache and cookies. Perhaps something from the previous version of the forum remained there and is interfering with the newer version. ..or the forum software (most likely JavaScript) has problems with your browser version (which is a very common problem).. If you don't want to flush the cache and cookies, just create another profile (URL: about:profiles in Firefox). And use it instead for a few days to see if it misbehaves too.
  19. If these messages have been sent and you have email notifications set up at https://www.scienceforums.net/notifications/options/ , copies of private messages should also be in your mailbox. Try the spam folder? They cannot be deleted by the forum mods or antispam bots automatically..
  20. A particle at rest cannot be detected by measuring equipment that is in the same reference system as the said particle. A particle is detected if it - emits photons, rarely other particles, with well-known signatures (i.e., frequencies/wavelengths) - reflects photons sent toward it - absorbs photons and ejects photons with lower energies sent toward it - hits the detector by itself (which undermines "being at rest") - produces an electric or magnetic field that causes some reaction inside the detector, such as induction. etc. In classical physics, "being at rest" is often used to refer to very slow-moving objects, with a Lorentz factor close to 1.0.
  21. B AR GA IN => HANGOVER..
  22. If you don't mind an application with a GUI, there is an application written by Microsoft engineers FileMon: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/filemon Later replaced by ProcessMon: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon Such an application installed on your computer can tell you if someone has used your computer without your permission or if someone has hacked into your computer, even if anti-virus applications find nothing. I don't think it's interesting to monitor file activity to spy on someone (unlike keyboard presses and mouse movements). It is an anti-spyware application, not a spyware application....
  23. Of course. You can always write it yourself. Then it will meet all the tight requirements. Source code on MSDN: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.filesystemwatcher?view=net-8.0 This type of operation is widely used by legitimate applications to monitor changes in configuration files. When you open a text file in editor X and editor Y, and save in one of them, you click another, and it complains that the file needs to be reloaded, this is due to the use of this API..
  24. No. The Sun does not rise. That's a premature, childish version of ancient people who didn't understand how the world works. The Earth rotates, causing the illusion that "the Sun rises" and "the Sun sets", when in fact it emits light all the time, just to a different part of the Earth.. Hydrogen fuel burnout.. ..do people know about the future when they prepare supplies for the winter.. ? (In Africa, Central and South America, and the Islands, they don't do that.. year-round fresh fruits and vegetables).
  25. ..progress is failing miserably so far.. ..with money as the driving force behind any human activity, God doesn't have much faith in this project.. ..that is the beauty of restart option.. you don't remember..
