One billion = 10^9
One thousand = 10^3
Ten = 10^1
So, ten thousand billion billion would be:
10^1 * 10^3 * 10^9 * 10^9 = 10^22
10^16 = 10 million billion
So, if a billion cards were produced, then you'd only have to search through 10 million numbers, which is trivial compared to what you proposed.
Actually, this may be a more accurate picture of what happens when species are introduced to a foreign environment. Now, I'm not saying that what you're predicting couldn't happen. Just that a situation where they thrive and have nothing to control their spread could also happen. And that would be bad.
Well, then it's only a matter of time then, that companies wise up to this and package the content in flash or something along with the ad. Then where will you be?
Yes. I guess that you could say that Slashdot has become much like the US Patent Office then, and just passing along anything that anybody puts under it's nose, probably without reading it.
If you're going to go through that much trouble, why not just do it by hand?
It wouldn't be too terribly difficult if you used some sort of stream generator like Solitaire. I guess that your only problem, then would be to find a way to distribute the keys. But it would be a stap in the right direction for the truly paranoid.
will automatically start Outlook for you, so it wouldn't fail if Outlook weren't running. However, you're right that Outlook apparently needs to be installed and registered on your system for that part of the script to work.
Well, the things in the paper are simple substitution ciphers that can be decrypted through frequency analysis quite easily. It's not much different from an ordinary crossword puzzle. This is the ciphertext with an unknown encryption algorithm, somewhat akin to a crossword puzzle without any clues.
C'mon! A random plot generator is so behind the times! What you really need to write is a random PATENT generator. Then instead of writing hundreds of episodes and waiting for your chance to score, you could write and file hundreds of patents, and wait for your big chance to score.
Seriously, though, they do have something sort of like that idea available for Seinfeld, already: Seinfeld-O-Matic
Sadly, there is some slight potential for this grim possibility to become reality in AZ. It wouldn't just be Universty policy, either. Take a look: http://wildcat.arizona.edu/papers/93/81/01_4_m.html. (The bottom half is the most relevant part of the story.)
Um, isn't that just a wanna-be Blair Witch Project? Anyway, for even more fun, you could slowly move the walls in a little each day while they sleep. And slowly increase the temperature and humidity. That'll get 'em interesting a lot quicker.
Wait a minute... Chimps aren't monkeys! What are these guys at ThinkGeek trying to pull? But one of those little guys would be kind of cool to have around.

Well, one advantage is that they don't need to re-wire every starbucks in the nation to actually install the plugs.
Another one is that they won't run out of ports when people rush to Starbucks to use this nifty new feature.

Dude, talk to the hand... er... Palm Yeah
No you don't. All you need is another one that you synchronize with your main one every once in a while.

Actually, that's more like radiation therapy. Nerve gas would be chemotherapy.
Mediocre. OR MTV Tarnished Video. Ok, so I was in a hurry. Does anyone have one that's better?
