If I'm understanding the article right, they're actually different fonts as opposed to a single font.

Creator of Radiant Player here. Performance and memory issues were a problem in the past and unfortunately have resurfaced in the latest release (1.4.0), but I am looking into them!

I can understand how this might be legally contentious, but the only thing it could be reported for is the name, I would think? The Google Play logo there is not me embedding it into the app, since it's displaying the webpage itself. Correct me if I'm wrong?

If it doesn't let you launch, you may need to find the app in Finder and open it from the right click menu. Seems that OS X requires you to do this so that it knows you explicitly want to launch it. It remembers this after the first launch so you can use it normally afterwards.

Oh you're very right, I had that added to the README of the repository but forgot to add it to the website. Thanks for the heads up.

Thanks! When I initially forked the repository, I hadn't planned on including features like the theme or the notifications, but once I realized how much I liked the product and wanted to continue to develop it, I figured I should ask the original creator for permission to keep the fork independent and he agreed. Very generous of him!

Does Last.fm support mean just scrobbling, or are there other features you might like? I'm not a Last.fm user but I'd be willing to take a look into including support down the road!

I had this same textbook for the Crypto course I just completed this semester. It's a very good textbook, in my opinion, as the descriptions and examples are really informative. Usually if I couldn't get the material through my professor's lectures, it was sufficient to look it up in the book. However, we did only briefly touch on cryptographic hashes and only a little on Legendre and Jacobi symbols, and not at all on the elliptic curve and other special topics towards the end of the text, so I can't comment on those.

The book does very good job of talking about different algorithms and concepts, often times with a very brief historical introduction, and includes thorough descriptions of various popular/important attacks of those concepts. In general it's a book I'd recommend for an introduction to cryptography. You also learn a fair introductory bit of number theory which I really enjoyed.

I also met Dr. Washington, one of the co-authors of this book, who was a very pleasant and energetic person who really enjoys the topic of cryptography.

By the way, where are you taking this course?
