I think that you will find that they will want to know - 'was any code written by foreigners', if so has it been verified by a trusted US citizen? Also, I believe that part of the verification is that the vendor (the source code holder) will not go out of business and the code vanish into thin air. The software we provided had to have 'fully documented source code - independently certified by a government approved certification authority' As they would be getting the full source code (something which they did not envisage when the rules were set down) some of the normal rules would not apply.
Paying for services by credit or debit card can be very dangerous. By doing so you give the service provider permission to make varying monthly (or whatever) charges to your account. According to international banking regulations you CANNOT get your bank or card company to cancel the payments without great difficulty - there is an assumption of permission when the service provider requests payment. The problem is almost insurmountable when the service provider is in an other country. The rules are not likely to change any time soon. Beware!
As Niels Bohr (one of the fathers of quantum mechanics) said: "anyone who can contemplate quantum mechanics without getting dizzy has not understood it". The points made about today's most advanced cryptographic techniques being useless in the quantum computer era are well founded. An effective quantum computer will make today's super-computers look like a broken abacus. It has been argued that the current laws of mathematics may forbid the timely factoring of huge numbers. The only solution is the brute force attack and the use of quantum computers. While Bell Labs have described how this might be done the equipment needed is not yet available but when it is it may be possible to factor numbers so super huge (greater than the number of atoms in the known universe) in days, maybe hours and eventually minutes or seconds. For an vision of quantum computing see David Deutsch's 1985 paper (Poss Oxford Achive). Thankfully quantum cryptography already exists thanks to the original ideas and experiments (1799) of Thomas Young at Cambridge, England, into the theory of light. Further work was done by Stephen Weisner, a graduate student at the University of Columbia but he was so far ahead of his time that no-one appreciated the implications of his paper. Fourteen years later Bennett and Brassard excited the cryptographic community with the potential of 'absolutely secure cryptography'. In 1988 Bennett witnessed the first (publically announced) quantum cryptographic exchange over a distance of 30cm. In 1995 the University of Geneva achieved 23Km using optical fibre. Although there are still arguments between quantum theorists about the explanation of the quantum effect of light Superposition of States exists for photons (and other sub-atomic particles) and can be measured. See Erwin Schroedinger's (Nobel Prize for Physics 1933) 'Schroedinger's Cat' explanation of superposition. I can't see Joe Public having access to 'Pretty Good Quantum Privacy' (PGQP) any time soon!
Why the disparity in system memory usage of E + Gnome? One with no swap space, one with 128Meg and most of it used and one with 16 meg and 20 Meg swap! The Math does not add up! Does anyone have the facts?
This review is so full of fundamental errors of science and fact that if it is a reflection of the book, it is not something I will be reading soon. Is he looking for the 'Unified Theory' by other means? BTW micro/macro - The girls father said his daughter was pregnant, "what steps do you propose to take?" Fcking great big ones, I said.
Now that is interesting! Except for the Crusoe item, I was told almost the exact same thing from a completely differenct source. I thought it was just hot air - obviously not.
"This is a dead Representative, it lives no-more, it is deceased, extant, without breath, it is an Ex-Representative". For Gawd sake, Monty, bury it before it stinks the place out.
I suspect that if push came to shove Judges would allow considerable leeway in arguments presented by representatives of GPL. It is after all "in the public interest" and could possibly be argued "for the greater good". In this context Judges may ask "what was the intestion of the GPL".
I beg to differ! In (UK Law - poss similar in the english speaking world) partnerships the partners are "jointly and severally" liable and unlike corporations have NO limites to their liability. Each partner is treated in law as an 'individual' but it is usually the Senior Partner to whom legal matters are addressed. Senior Partner (Retd) ****** ***** Associates.
You can only see a copy of a copy at the site you linked. The Original was sent to King George III and is held at The Public Records Office, Kew, England. but unfortunately it is not listed on their site:-(
I suspect (with ear close to the ground) that MOTO have not forsaken the GNU/Linux community. After the release of the Mac OS X version the Linux and other versions (*nix) will follow and be excellent products worth paying real $s for. The Linux version is likely to be very compatible with the Mac OS X version.
Check out: http://www.cs.unm.edu/~immsec/ and there is some work being done in the UK on different lines but to the same ends called "Host Defence System".
The article said no such thing and I would expect GEEKS to at least think first before leaping into print. The/. headline is almost impossible to start with - think how many channels would be required to 'control' (sic) vehicles in the UK alone (approx 30 million vehicles). The MIRA (Motor Industry Research Association) test vehicle - a Ford Escort - controls the speed itself NOT the satelite as incorrectly reported above. The satelite (GPS) merely provides the positioning signal to locate the vehicle on its internal navigation system. The navigation system in the vehicle is programmed with the speed limits of each highway and similar to 'cruise control' a vehicles speed can be set - in this instance 'a maximum speed'. Think positive, if you have it fitted and engaged - no more speeding tickets - and if you are involved in an accident - speed could not be a contributing factor.
Although this info is old news, I am supprised that no-one has picked up on the implications Infiniband should have on our purchasing decisions today. The nature of the spec (see: www.infinibandta.org - site should be complete by end of Jan 2000 with more details and the various reports referenced) means that in order to retain 'legacy' devices in the new architecture they will need to be I2O complient. The physical architecture of the 'chassis' and the new processor board size and specification will make PC boxes obsolete. The great advantage I see is the superb scalability inherrant in the few publically available details. The 'just slot in another processor board' may mean 'Work-station' to 'Beowulf' cluster in very quick order. I hope everything will be a lot clearer by Jan 31.
Although the new I/O sub-system will probably not be available in time for this high end workstation, it would be prudent to speak with the folks at www.infinibandta.org or one of their sponsors' federal sys div. It would be prudent to only use I2O enabled I/O devices/cards so that the machine is not obsolete by end 2000.

Abcde Federal Division produced a machine which identified each and every document cross referenced to the user/copier/machine 20 years ago. What they are able to supply now is probably much more advanced. As 'information hiding' is the flavour of the moment among crypto geeks this will nodoubt enter the equasion.
Changes made to JAVA by Sun have already damaged a great idea. A big hole was blasted in 'the sand box' by allowing direct addressing of hardware. This may have been for good practical reasons but client side operation is so insecure many are removing the facility.

Agreed. But the question mentioned only 'math'. What kind of math - no mention of 'vector' if so the G4 would be suitable at the lower end.
