  2. Why brute force? by The+Z+Master · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Instead of doing a brute-force crack of the private key, why not use an intelligent algorithm for cracking it? As I understand it, the other distributed.net projects used brute-force just to show that how much time a brute-force could take. If this project is really about discovering the key and not about seeing how long it takes to stumble upon it at random, then shouldn't they use a smart algorithm?

  7. Agile methodology is a euphemism by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Agile methodology is a euphemism for hacking. It's just the reaction from the hacker crowd to rationalise their (lack of process) to the bean counting RUP type crowd.
