In summary: the implementation does not provide a proof, and the verifier cannot check, that the important assumption of discrete log hardness made by Bayer and Groth is valid here. It is possible for a malicious authority to generate the perfectly random G1,G2,...in a way that, at the same time, gives it a trapdoor that falsifies an assumption that is central to the security of the Bayer-Groth mixnet construction.

In other words, the reported problem could only be exploited by directly affecting the given application/code. More specifically, certain (assumed-to-be) random numbers would have to be replaced (+ wrong results introduced). The critic is that, if that happened, the given encryption algorithm wouldn't know about that alteration, unlikely what should theoretically occur.

So, the researchers found a way to theoretically affect a cryptographic algorithm in a way which, under ideal circumstances, shouldn't happen. This is what they meant with backdoor: possibility to modify the flow of information against the original intention of the program. Is that bad, should it be fixed, etc.? Sure. In fact, the main point here is precisely to not allow any unmonitored modification of precisely those results. On the other hand, the reference to a "critical backdoor" seems to imply a completely different thing. To not mention the fact that all this is a bit too theoretical and uncontrollable (even by assuming that I have access to the application, how could I get X more votes for party Y?).

Except that you can't find a study that points to sugar rush actually being a thing. Even if what you said had actually occurred (and you have zero evidence that it did), other testing has occurred by scientists who were not funded by the candy industry.

There is no such thing as a sugar rush. There's plenty more evidence where this came from...

The reason kids get such a distorted view of sex is because it's restricted.

In Australia has had a boom in Labiaplasty. Being surgery Labiaplasty comes with risks, one of those risks being labia do serve a purpose so if you are too aggressive all sorts of problems arise. One reason women often give for wanting Labiaplasty is protruding labia causes discomfort, especially during activities like bike riding. That's downright perplexing to males who have much bigger and more sensitive things between their legs.

Another reason by given in well over 50% of women who have had a Labiaplasty is cosmetic. That has caused some head scratching in the sisterhood - why have cosmetic surgery for something hardly anyone sees? So the sisterhood have come up with a theory. (I'm using a bit of poetic licence here - but is is female academics who been studying this.)

Australia's porn censorship rules labia's were considered obscene. You could publish pictures of a vula, but the labia could not be visible. As a consequence there were lots of pictures of vulva everywhere including teenage girls magazines, but any labia were air brushed out. So just about every vulva a girl saw except her own had no visible labia.

I'm not sure what the censorship rules are in other countries, but if you look at that Wikipedia article Australia is the epicentre of this phenomenon. If this weird perspective on female anatomy is mostly restricted to us the girls might be onto something.

Moreover, you can write a headline like this every single day and never exhaust the number P vs NP equivalent problems.

How Sudoku could win you a million dollars

Finding others is an exercise for the reader.

Just how would you think it would increase the economy ?

A poor person with gets more money so buys more whisky and smokes, the whisky and smoke store makes more money, hires more staff, buys more stock, pays more sales tax. The transport company, distributor, manufacturer and everyone up the chain does the same, their employees spend their money in other stores and all pay more tax.

There is no increase in productivity all this does is change who is doing spending.

And that's all you need. $100 spent 10 times is better for the economy than $200 spent once.

If we were very lucky I would expect this to be neutral. If we were unlucky it could easily provoke inflation in basic goods, and suck capital out of the system for investment.

We don't need to guess at this, we have real world examples that have already worked: http://fbe.unimelb.edu.au/__da...

Actually, yes.

Monetary scams are common in low income developing nations with poor education, where susceptible people invest in pyramid schemes run by 'honest' folk who would never defraud them because of their 'good' character and reputation within the community.

Let them start trying to ban the books.

There are many books already banned in Australia

American Psycho and the Anarchists Cookbook are the only two I know of in my collection.

So basically you don't have any actual rebuttals to the paper's content and specific rebuttals on Benbrook's methodology

Yes. My rebuttal is, "if it's real research, go get it peer-reviewed and published". If you're funded by the industry and exist to snipe and real peer-reviewed studies that reflect poorly on your product, you have earned your way onto the pay-no-mind list.

Let's look at your expert, David Tribe. Yes, he's from the University of Melbourne, and yes his research is industry funded. Here's his current research:

http://www.findanexpert.unimel...

Two companies have awarded the grants for this research. First, DAIRY INNOVATION AUSTRALIA LTD is the largest supplier of genetically modified organisms for the dairy industry. Second, the GRAINS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION is a government-subsidized pro-GMO foundation, specifically tasked with implementing pro-GMO programs in Australia. From their Wikipedia entry:

Grains Research and Development Corporation is an Australian research statutory corporation founded in 1990 under the Primary Industries and Energy Research and Development Act, 1989 (PIERD Act). It is funded by the Australian government and a levy on graingrowers, which is determined by the industry's peak body Grains Council of Australia (GCA).

No matter what peer-reviewed research I would cite, you would say, "Oh, that's junk science" or "Oh, that was funded by billionaire organic farmers". There is every reason to question David Tribe. He exists to shill for the GMO industry.

The University of Melbourne has crunched the numbers, and you're right, the world probably isn't about to end:

> (If you have journal access, or don't mind forking over $40, you can read the original paper.)

You might ask why the journal is charging $40. Usually the journals - run by companies - have nothing to do with writing the original paper, contributing only academic review (possibly by unpaid volunteers) and publishing. They won't print the article unless the author signs a copyright transfer agreement which means they no longer own the copyright, and can't even put the paper on their own website. It's a ripoff, but academic institutions made the mistake of crediting publications by their employees which count towards promotions. The academic publishers in turn charge institutions extortionate rates - many thousands of dollars - to see papers by other academics they didn't pay a cent for. These people are the academic version of the RIAA: Redundant Middle-men ripping off both sides. There are papers written as far back as the 1960s which academic publishing companies still hold copyright over, standing in the way of ongoing research.

"One of disadvantages of this publishing model, is that the published research is only available to those researchers who have a subscription to the journal or can afford to buy the book. Often subscription and book costs are prohibitively expensive. Many libraries, particularly smaller ones, cannot afford these subscriptions." - http://www.unimelb.edu.au/copyright/information/new/research/publishing.html

The request was for an example of an AGW disaster - of course it's cherry-picked. Nobody's claiming the sea level is rising this fast in all places (quite the opposite).

What's also bald-faced cherry-picking is a statement like "basically no net gain since a peak of the early 80s". You have to really try hard to ignore the clear and continuing upwards trend (more importantly for the Tuvaluans, the all-important seasonal peaks keep getting higher, resulting in worse flooding each time). You also have to carefully ignore the altimetry data, which clearly shows a 5mm/year rise since 1993 at Funafuti.

Even more impressive is how you blithely imply that a peer-reviewed study's conclusions are completely wrong, without seeing the underlying data or challenging their methodology, even though the study confirms earlier work like Church 2006. You smoothly fill in the missing GPS data with assumptions of your own that it would naturally support your pre-conceived conclusions instead. This despite your admission that you're still baffled by the long-established connection between rising CO2 levels and rising sea levels.

Did I mention that Tuvalu is cited in at least three different studies on climate change disasters? Maybe you should reassure the Tuvaluan Government that the experts are lying and/or incompetant, AGW is a massive conspiracy, and all that salt water they're seeing must be a figment of their imagination, because your glance at a graph proved that rising sea levels and subsidence "mostly stopped by 1980".

If you are really interested there is plenty of information around the internet ... take a look at a http://ww2.csse.unimelb.edu.au/dept/about/csirac/ which has good detail including emulator .. It was suitably modest with RAM of 768 20-bit words and storage capacity of 2048 words.

I found the 1959 programming manual quite amusing, particularly the section on binary representations which suggets you reference a manual page for numbers up to 32 - really drives home the point how new all of this was !!!!

"The user should gradually become familiar with the binary symbols for the integers 0,l,2,.,.30,31, which are listed on page (i), but these can be worked out mentally by partitioning the integer into such of the components 16,8,4,2,1 as it contains. Thus 21 = 16 + 4 + 1 = 10101 (binary). It is useful to understand the principles underlying addition and subtraction in the binary system. The addition of corresponding digits follows the table:-
        0 + 0 gives 0 with 0 to carry
        0 + 1 “ 1 “ 0 “
        1 + 0 “ 1 “ 0 “
        1 + 1 “ 0 “ 1 “
        Thus: -
          1010 1101 1100 11010
        +1100 +1101 -1010 -01101
        10110 11010 0010 01101

where in the case of subtraction the digit is borrowed rather than carried.

Well, since you asked, range of breadth is like depth of draft, only horizontally.

It so happens that the University of Melbourne offers baccalaureate degrees in range of breadth studies. This is apparently better than majoring in one subject while also completing a minor in another subject. Or maybe it has something to do with the flip in the Coriolis effect on that far side of the equator. As you are probably aware by now, I am no expert in these areas.

Solar baseload power can generate power all the time, and weather patterns are predictable over the long-term that plants can be dispersed to complement each other's low points in generating capacity.

A rather comprehensive study by the University of Melbourne centered around this type of technology.

What, the sun never sets? predicting the weather means we can still generate power? Are you going to move the solar arrays around the clouds? Plants can be dispersed? That last is really ridiculous, when entire Nations ( Like America recently ) have been 80% under cloud cover. You are pointing to one study in the face of decades of research and wisdom.

Lets just call the whole wind and solar debacle "Green Theater".

You can keep your clocks accurate with something that isn't inherently unstable and complex, like RADclock. Or for leaf nodes, you can stay with the same basic protocol but jettison a lot of the complexity by switching to SNTP.

NTP solved this ages ago by distributing atomic clock accuracy through the network.

The only problem this will solve is where it is a private network not connected to public NTP servers (or organizations that do not trust public NTP). In that case, they would most likely be able to afford a atomic clock.

NTP solved this ages ago by distributing atomic clock accuracy through the network.

Wrong. How could this be modded insightful?

Performance differences between NTP and RADclock in accuracy and stability: http://www.cubinlab.ee.unimelb.edu.au/radclock/performance.php

So, someone's invented ntp_time? That's only been around collecting time from time servers, many of which are atomic clock connected, since about 1985.

...

Seriously, could the editor that greenlighted this have done a google search or something?

Could you have done a google search yourself or something?

Then you might find this:

The RADclock project (formerly known under 'TSCclock') aims to provide a new system for network timing within two years. We are developing replacements for NTP clients and servers based on new principles, in particular the need to distinguish between difference clocks and absolute clocks. The term RADclock, 'Robust Absolute and Difference Clock', stems from this. The RADclock difference clock, for example, can measure RTTs to under a microsecond, even if connectively to the time server is lost for over a week!

Well, there are languages aimed to fix that e.g. Mercury. It's Prolog with types. Although it's been around for 15 years, it's still mainly a research language, and it would be a lot of work to port the OTP environment to there.

While I agree that Justice Gordon is sensible, I'm pretty sure the Honorable Michelle Marjorie Gordon (photo) is not a man.

I am an educator. Allow me to tell you why this worked for you:

One thing: Supportive, intelligent, educated parents. --The same thing that predicts success in regular school!

People have been trying to figure out why socioeconomic class is such a strong predictor for academic success for a long time, but they didn't want to say what any teacher knows: Middle class people raise their kids better, which ensures they grow up to be middle class. You sometimes get poor people who do it too. They don't move up the socioeconomic ladder, but their kids do.

This is what Geoffry Canada figured out and has applied with some very impressive success at the Harlem Children's Zone. He has said that we've been going about supporting inner-city families all wrong. We've been throwing money at them, thinking that the key ingredient of middle-class kids' success was money. It wasn't. It was culture.

Your mom read to you. That is the single biggest thing a parent can and should do from a very early age. Language, I believe, is the seed of all other learning (full disclosure: I'm a linguist). There is a lot of research suggesting this, one piece of which is that carried out by Margaret Wu at the University of Melbourne, where she found that she could predict reading scores from the science component of the PISA test. Obviously, not that well for individuals, but given the whole dataset, she could predict the average for a country (for cases where they only administered the science one to everyone). Language is key, and when you read to a young child, you are exposing him to organized language at a much higher level than he is used to hearing in normal conversation. It also instills a value for the written word, as it did in your case, and as it did in mine.

So what I'm saying is that, if your parents are smart, educated, and willing to spend the time, unschooling probably provides a better learning environment than we could ever put together in a school. The really scary thing I keep seeing in the US, and especially here in Japan, is the parents expecting more and more from the school. I don't work in K-12 anymore (thank god) but when I did, I was often flabbergasted by the things parents would expect from us. "We only see your kid for 6 hours a day, 8 months a year, in a room with 29 other kids," I'd think, "you have them one-on-one 18 hours a day, all year round! What can I possibly do that you can't?"

I'm assuming someone was at home with you all that time. That's a biggie as well. I might get murdered for saying this, but I've started to think that maybe all those crazy women who protested the ERA were right--sending all the moms to work really did damage society. We are now dealing with a generation in their majority which was not supported when growing up, and as a result, isn't very bright. I was lucky in that my parents work from home, so someone was always there when I needed them, and we used to take long trips (taking school off for up to a month) to see the US. I did my homework in the car. A month of classwork took about 4 days, if I remember correctly. If we had just lived that lifestyle, I think I would have learned a lot more.

Actually encryption doesn't guarantee *things add up* after transfer. And ssh does not guarantee things add up any more than tcp does. It does have other advantages, like compression.

And tcp is just not a good file transfer protocol over microwave links. Sure you can fix the glaring issues, using huge windows, you can even change registry settings to improve the situation : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/224829.

Making it work really well, though, you'll need

If you're worried about correctness of transfer you might want to use rsync for windows, which *does* check correctness. You might want to use an interface like http://www.aboutmyip.com/AboutMyXApp/DeltaCopy.jsp.

Now rsync is no wonder. It is not something that is constantly trying to reconnect. You start it once ... it tries once. If you want an opportunistic reliable file transfer utility ... you might want to try bittorrent, it's quite good at that.

Have a look at this research paper" for a review of how legalising prostitution in Melbourne, Australia has gone. Based on your post, you'd probably find it interesting.

On the whole, legalising the industry has made things better, but, y'know...it's still a fairly crappy industry to work in.

When I read things like this, I'm always reminded of Frederick Taylor. If you've never heard of him, he's probably the guy you should thank for such quackery.

In the past the man has been first; in the future the system must be first.

This idea of mathematically determining the value of each employee fits very well with his ideas. Face it: in the modern corporate world, humans are part of a system that is, overall, far more important than the individual. It is increasingly a scientifically-managed system, so it should come as no surprise that such dehumanising practices should take place. Business does not want humans; it wants workers.

It is quite a logical outcome of our increasing reliance on scientific principles to explain and analyse our world. I find it ironic that many /. members would hate this approach of analysing workers, yet its roots lie in our reliance on science to breakdown, label, categorise, and figure out how we and our world works. In the same way psychology, neuroscience, and other mind-related fields were bastardised to figure out how to manipulate the human mind to makes us consume, the computer sciences will be used in a similar fashion to make us behave a certain way: if you don't want to get fired, you need to make sure what you do conforms to their model.

Sadly, figuring out the "optimal" and "perfect" workers will, like my .sig says, make us realise just what it was that made us human, instead of just robots.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I'm not saying it shouldn't be studied, I just seriously doubt people will be able to "cure" something that I suspect is linked to inheritable Genetic traits.

Of course you could move into the territory of Eugenics, but I think that's a slippery slope to tread.

Learning about or understanding more about the condition is never a bad thing.

"popular" apps and peripherals in the senior citizen crowd (think of, web-browsing, photo viewing, photo-printing, web-cams etc.) are much more readily available for windows than for linux.

I'll give that the webcam is a little bit gray area. But maybe MORE SELECTION for windows, but I wouldn't say not readily available.

Ok, I had another look for something a bit better and found this link via melbourne university, still can't find the comparison graph but the .ppt slide-show (opens ok with OOo) gives you an idea of how they are proposing to "level the playing field".

Regrettably. I used to go to University of Melbourne (Australia) where it is still used today, and Monash University now where WebCT was once used, but now has also been turned into Blackboard. WebCT sucked anyway, but now it's just ten times worse. Still, all the syllabus, lecture notes, grades, weekly tests are put up there, and it makes uni life just that much worse.

Before the end of the 1940s CSIRO's predecessor developed and test ran the world's "fifth electronic stored program computer", later known as CSIRAC. In 1954 widely venerated Prime Minister Robert Menzies decided that CSIRO should drop research on computers in favour of cloud seeding. (The back stories would fill a book without getting to Pig Iron Bob presenting my undergraduate degree.)

Then in the early 1980s microprocessor technology faciliated the emergence of a promising embryonic computer hardware industry, but quiz king turned science minister Barry Jones announced that we had already missed the boat, and corporate misdeals soon mopped up the few threatening survivors. (I prepared supplements covering 40+ local maunfacturers for Australian Micro Computerworld in each of its two years of publication, 1983-84, before it was swept away by the PCWorld/Macworld tidal waves, having put on a government-supported professional development conference for those manufacturers in 1983.)

That's all folks!

Has anyone measured CO2 levels on mars and venus? So far the only proof we have that co2 is linked to global warming is that any time in the past when temperatures have gone up, so has CO2. How can we prove which one is the cause, and which one a symptom? And if we can't even prove that, how in the world can we possibly expect to determine exactly how much effect CO2 has on temperature?

With regards to Mars, the following pages (among many others) contain info about the exact makeup of the Mars atmosphere:

I'm pretty sure this is true for Venus as well.

Anyway it's a strange view that, if it's in the genes, it's OK, but if it's caused by the environment, it's somehow less real. Would we convert left-handers to right-handers if we found out it's an enviromental factor that determined their chiral preference?

I'd worry; lefties will be a convenient target for genetic screening ... all in the name of better public health, of course.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd= Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=8216870&dopt=Abstract

Quite the contrary, 36.7% of children of LHI were left-handed, while 7.3% children of RHI happen to be left-handed (P < 0.00025).

Being a lefty is an inherited trait.

http://www.canoe.ca/Health0007/06_hands.html

Study finds gays more likely to be left-handed than straights

...

But exposure to sex hormones and environmental factors such as pollutants and stress during pregnancy can alter the genetic blueprint, contributing to left-handedness.

"There's something that happens early in development that can shift development towards a left-side bias," says Lalumiere.

In turn, those blips may also be a factor in determining homosexuality.

"This study is one more piece of evidence that suggests sexual orientation is at least partly determined in-utero," says Blanchard.

So, whether you're a lefty or gay or both, you can say you were born that way.

Other risk factors of being left-handed include being more likely to suffer post-traumatic stress disorder http://www.acpmh.unimelb.edu.au/research/summary20 03.html

n a provocative preliminary study, Chemtob et al. hypothesized that deviations from normal hemispheric dominance may increase risk (Chemtob & Taylor, 2003). They examined hand preference in 118 right-handed male veterans. PTSD prevalence was lowest for respondents reporting a consistent hand preference and right handed parents (44%) and highest for those reporting both mixed laterality and a left handed parent (100%). Moderately high PTSD rates were observed in veterans reporting either a mixed lateral preference or left handed parent (70%). These findings suggest that an imbalance in hemispheric dominance for processing threatening and/or emotional information may increase vulnerability to PTSD following trauma.

- Chemtob, C. M., & Taylor, K. B. (2003). Mixed lateral preference and parental left-handedness possible markers of risk for PTSD. Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, 191(5), 332-338.

Higher risk of schizophrenia if you're a leftie ...http://www.schizophrenia.com/sznews/archives/00 2346.html

When this was noted in the data, it was found that they had higher STA scores than those who had not been forced to switch. Also it was found that "males who were non-right handers, and who presumably had mixed-handedness, having significantly higher STA scores than full right-handers" (PsychiatryMatters.MD).

These results support the claim that left-handedness and being ambidextrous was a risk factor for schizophrenia symtoms.

Diabetes: http://www.diabeteshealth.com/read,1009,2592.html

Our results: people with diabetes are three times more likely to be left-handed than the general population.

I think you've got this around the wrong way. The problem is that you need to manually import the appropriate public keys, rather than the fact that Red Hat doesn't sign its updates. They're all signed - it's just that by default the public keys aren't in the RPM database.

See the bottom of this page for more information (and no, I don't know why they keys don't come pre-installed).

It is more likely the number of folds in the brain that predict intelligence, since folds imply a more complex wiring pattern.

This study would probably find a correlation between number of folds and brain size.
