Crypto with Epoxy Tokens, Glass Balls and Lasers

Posted by michael on Friday September 20, 2002 @03:09AM from the truth-is-stranger-than-fiction dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Scientists from MIT and ThingMagic have collaborated and developed an innovative crypto mechanism using epoxy tokens, glass spheres and lasers. They have actually created a physical one-way function that cannot be tampered, copied or faked! The full scoop can be found at MSNBC, and also at Nature, & TOI."

Dear Apple by Anonymous Coward · 2002-09-20 03:19 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Dear Apple,
I am a homosexual. I bought an Apple computer because of its well earned reputation for being "the" gay computer. Since I have become an Apple owner, I have been exposed to a whole new world of gay friends. It is really a pleasure to meet and compute with other homos such as myself. I plan on using my new Apple computer as a way to entice and recruit young schoolboys into the homosexual lifestyle; it would be so helpful if you could produce more software which would appeal to young boys. Thanks in advance.
with much gayness,
Father Randy "Michael" O'Day, S.J.

I perfected a method to post to slashdot by only reading the front page and never reading the articles, using only my lazy ass, and a burning desire to get first post.
I'm trying to fit lasers and epoxy tokens filled with glass beads in here, but there's no time!

Why list the submitter as an Anonymous Coward if you're going to link to what appears to be a personal email address? No good deed goes unpunished indeed...
