Send and receive data trough the power network
I'm not interested in a hardware solution, I want to know about software that may "read" modulated signal received trough the power supply - some sort of a low-level driver that would access the power signal in a convenient place and demodulate it. Is there a way to receive signal from the computer's power supply? I'm interested in an A...

Can a Silverlight client talk to a C++ server?
Our company wants to transform our current user interface to a web client. We are considering to use Microsoft's Silverlight for this, but it will need to communicate with our legacy C++ server application (native C++, not C++/CLI).

When can you trust yourself to implement cryptography based solutions?
I've read quite a few times how I shouldn't use cryptography if I'm not an expert. Basically both Jeff and Eric tell you the same: Cryptography is difficult, better buy the security solution from experts than doing it yourself. I completely agree, for a start it's incredibly difficult to perceive all possible paths an scenario migh...
