It's not the sms service that they're buying per se.. I mean cmon, Apple could have a twitter-like service written and deployed in a week flat.. What is of value to any company interested in Twitter is the huge hype around it and consequential media attention involved. This brand image alone is worth millions, even without the underlying technology. I could sell my toenails for billions, if only demand was high enough.
I'm not that convinced that relying on the discrete logarithm problem (at the cost of 4x as much network communication) rather than directly on the factoring problem (like more commonly discussed PK based systems) has any additional security : aren't the 2 problems of identical complexity?
This is the RSA algorithm. It hasn't been broken in the last 30 years by the smartest people. Either that, or the govt.(NSA) knows how to break it and is keeping it under wraps.
Correct me if im wrong, but isn't open source supposed to be freely distributed? I noticed that MS isn't talking about maintainable costs here, but "price".
The United States should respond by launching *yet another* spy satellite. Design it like an orb, and name it the "Death Star". That should scare em...
Oh and don't forget to have a poll for naming the toilet module, so that it can be called COLBERT.
Im curious to know if they will freeze his brain after he's gone. I mean, the dude's very smart, very famous and very ill. Someone must have considered it..

could this report pretend to be more professionally written?
I'd rather do it by hand. I'd love to see you divide a pizza in 6 using only your head.
Only jedis and physicists can do that.. Since they both understand force, that is.
global echonomic collaps
An echonomic collapse happens when the greed of a select few echoes off of the ignorance of the many.
Just name it COLBERT.. It will land perfectly.
Should that be 1 mod ((A-1)*(B-1))?

PG&E's ambitious deal with upstart Solaren to...
Did nobody else lol at this as hard as me? *UPSTART* ... dontcha mean start-up ? FYI:
upstart - Noun : an arrogant or presumptuous person

I personally find getting almost anything done on Linux much more time consuming than either OS X or Windows...
That is probably because you are unfamiliar with linux. It is a very different OS than the ones u are used to.
I suspect there will be a tipping point for *IX at some point in time.
The OS isn't the constraint here, it's the people.
The reason that MS is successful is the same reason why McDonalds is. They dumb it down to the point where any retard can use it.
The consequence is that 40% of all our children are obese, and 90% of all ur bases r belongs to us.
India don't need any country help.
That is certainly true, except maybe in grammer.

Noooooo! Obama! Noooo!!! Resist the dark side! Resist Obama! You were the chosen one!!!
calling a black guy "dark" ? dude, that is just racist..
IMO, Google has spent most time and money on the one resource that really matters most..
People.. They hire the brightest and then give them a free rein. That's why they have a lot of stuff that's cool but maybe not that profitable.
They could, of course start building and maintaining a product line that is focused on generating revenue rather than creating newer, cooler stuff.
I'd hate if that happens. I don't need Google to turn into Microsoft.
