Hackers Eavesdrop On Quantum Crypto With Lasers

Martin Hellman writes "According to an article in Nature magazine, quantum hackers have performed the first 'invisible' attack on two commercial quantum cryptographic systems. By using lasers on the systems — which use quantum states of light to encrypt information for transmission —' they have fully cracked their encryption keys, yet left no trace of the hack.'"

    Asian sales to the West are hurting, I guess, now that a third of Americans are looking seriously at homelessness.

    I notice that this kind of spam is picking up in frequency, which is probably a kind of desperation tactic. I know that whenever possible I "Buy Western". It's actually not all that hard; just don't buy crappy, stupid things made in the East. If somebody started making computer parts over here, I'd be set.

    Now if only we could take the psychopathic high business/political class who destroyed America and drown them in the lifeless waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the world would be set!

    Looks like the water viscosity of the Gulf has caused the Gulf Stream circuit to collapse. For real. Who knows how this will fuck up the planet, but it appears that this is the other shoe dropping. Ice Age, here we come!

    Have you shot a psychopath in the head today? (You know, for killing us all?)
