You know, Enigma itself isn't broken "as such" -- it is simply that the Germans (yes, I am one of them) used the Enigma incorrectly.
They repeated the message key (i.e. they encoded it twice) so Turing was able to host something similar to a plain-text attack. Considering the key-space was not that huge, and he had all the resources he needed, it got easy.
When the German Navy stopped encoding the message key twice, they resorted to stealing a code-book (one of the books with the master keys, you know, like a keyring these days).
I'd say you have an incredibly juvenile understanding of religion. I don't want to flame anybody, but isn't that an incredibly juvenile statement to make about somebody else?
The only case where the GPL "encumbers" anything is if there's a patent involved, in which case the encumberance is both legal AND preexisting anyway. Isn't there in fact even a clause in the GPL that states you won't sue others for patent infringement?
Unless of course they consider that they are just renting (..) [the] device (...). So since they have not sold it to a customer, as such, the GPL distribution clause does not apply.
So if I rent you a DVD with a movie on it, am I not "distributing" the movie, even if only for a short amount of time?
Of course, nobody would have the right to request source code once they return the phone, but anybody who is still in physical possession...
Anyway, renting does not apply -- I pay for ownership of the phone, there is no rental statement when I order one (and Skype has no right to change a transfer of ownership into a rental AFTER the transfer has happened -- this would be like me selling you my house and later saying "I only rented it to you").
Use GPL library gpled.dll Use proprietary library prop.dll
Proprietary library is closed-source.
The have another department write open.exe (open-source) linking in gpled.dll and prop.dll -- since prop.dll is maintained by another department, they choose the license. The guys distributing open.exe, gpled.dll and prop.dll "unfortunately have no access to the source for prop.dll"
I agree with the GP here -- you have to make a decision, and if you choose to go through, but later decide that you are going too slow to go through legally (and safely), but too fast to halt safely, you need to speed up.
Point is, DRM is not actually aimed at preventing us from copying - it is aimed at large businesses, contracts, etc.
The systems protecting nuclear weapons are aimed to prevent us from detonating them.
Don't be silly - nobody would make an unreasonable conclusion that this was a terrorist attack - after all, everybody knows that Al Qaeda planned this attack so carefully that nobody would notice.
It's like stealing stuff from a shop because the window was broken by someone else.
The analogy is flawed. A better analogy would be if somebody broke into a shop and started putting shop contents into your pocket - that would be the case with an ATM giving you too much money, not like you can stuff the money back into the machine...
I never used clipart, and nowadays practically anything can be found on the internet.
According to the EULA, IIRC, you have all right to use the clipart from within Microsoft Office. You have, however, no right to use any random pictures found on Google Images - magic word: copyright
The table does not need changing - you just need to know how to make a table fill the entire page width without manually adjusting it - so, need to know the tool...

That doesn't mean this data stream cannot be cracked.
However, the effort required to crack it makes it unworthy of cracking. I think that's what you meant to say.
You're a bit closer, Foldarn ;)
Intelink is actually connected to the Internet, but only at a single point: https://www.intelink.gov/
Not that it makes much of a difference anyway.
56+n bits <= 1 ^ 2n
Which is still 1 day.
The point being that Skype is "renting" the device according to the hypothetical situation by GP, where they are producing the devices.
The "I" who is renting out the DVD is then Warner Bros. or something.

I do use EUR and USD heavily, but that doesn't mean Japanese people do.

c/s is likely to mean "combinations per second" - at least that would have been my guess and it makes more sense as well.
