Soaring, Cryptography, and Nuclear Weapons
Martin Hellman sends in a pointer to his essay that uses analogies from cryptography and the sport of soaring in an attempt to draw people in to thinking about the risks of nuclear weapons. Quoting: "... I did a preliminary risk analysis which indicates that relying on nuclear weapons for our security is thousands of times more dangerous than having a nuclear power plant built next to your home." Hellman is best known as co-inventor (with Diffie and Merkle) of public key cryptography, and has worked for over twenty-five years to reduce the threat posed by nuclear weapons. He is also a glider pilot with over 2,600 logged hours. Hellman adds, "Readers needing a break can go to some photos of the Sierra Nevada mountains taken from my glider."
Yes, and the Bushido code is the reason why killing tens of thousends of civilians at the end of WWII was ok by baby Jesus.
Man.... this generalizations some people make. You know what separates you from a radical islamist?
Nothing, my friend: you are willing to easily think that Mahmoud Amedinayad represents the irani people.
They are willing that you (any westerner actually), and all the israelis they kill, are fully represented by George W. Bush.
Now does that seem fair to you?
Then stop doing it to them.
