Unlike American reporters, who lob softball questions Bush can field with prepared, rehearsed answers, Coleman performed as most European broadcast interviewers normally do -- in a naturally engaging, intellectually rigorous, conversational manner. However, Bush bristled at Coleman's questions and interviewing style, about which the White House (which posted a transcript of the session on its Web site) later "lodged an official complaint with the Irish embassy in Washington."
second, most of it was reading records of known length from files. I did, however, learn the right way to handle variable-length input many years ago.
Isn't that one of the classic ways a buffer-overflow condition can exist? You're not bothering to check the actual length of your input; you're assuming it will be within bounds.
First rule of secure programming: don't trust the input.
If you're XORing with, say, the text of Romeo and Juliet, then no, it's not going to work very well once people figure that out.
Hence, the idea of the One Time Pad. You get a list of truely random characters (sampling atmospheric noise is a favourite) and never reuse a given segment.
You can't brute force it; there's nothing to brute force. You can't figure out the algorithm; there's no algorithm. Unless you get your hands on the Pad used to do the XOR, you literally have NOTHING to go on. Unless, of course, the original Pad isn't actually random. Then, you might be able to create your own copy of the Pad.
The original PlayStation was sold at a loss so it's not out of the question that the PS2 was.
The company took a substantial loss on the first model, which retailed for $399, but today the cost is a third of what it was then. The most strategic action in this respect was that sales revenues were not all plowed into profit, but were used in moves that would lower the retail price.
...
There was another strategic purpose in slashing the price of the PlayStation: to draw Sega into a price war. In fact, Sony lowered the price in stages to make it easier for Sega to take up the challenge.
Of course, your results completely ignore the fact that Bush would be in the news far more often than Nader, having been President for the last four years, and his dad being President as well, let alone the other false positives you'll get from a name like 'bush.'
You've got it backwards. He's saying that if he has a day to prepare, then he takes a day. If he has a whole week to prepare, than he takes a week. But when it's time to step up, he steps up.
"Lets see. If somebody wants to buy a permanant copy of movie X, they can pay, say, $20. If they want to watch it once, in the comfort of their own homes, they can pay $5. Using our product, they can keep that movie, in theory, for ever, thusly getting something that they specfically paid less to forego."
"Now, should we deal with this ourselves, or wait for the gov't to step in and lay a smackdown that makes things even worse? Hmmmm."

The flip side being: should Rowling's grandchildren still be raking in the royalties?
Remember that in America, copyright length gets extended every time Mickey Mouse is about to pass into Public Domain. I believe it's happened at least two times already.
This is very ironic when you consider how much of Disney's body of work involves taking works which have fallen into public domain and selling them.
Actually, if you watch the documentary on the TPM DVD, they show Lucas and posse sitting down in a screening room and watching the first 'final' cut of TPM, and when it's over, they're all just stting there, with 'oh FUCK' looks on their faces. The voice over of one of them confirms it, as well, as I recall.
Good lord, I can't tell if you're serious or not, but on the assumption that you aren't:
Someone can become president just because their father is. If someone becomes ruler because of their father, that makes them a king, not a president.
Bush.
That a government could be nothing more than a front for corrupt energy company executives, and for a clique of people whose fanatical devotion to a "promised land" blinds them to all reason.
Bush/Cheney, Haliburton, Iraq War, the opening of protected wilderness to oil drilling, and so on.
That a country with a large space program would suddenly abandon it, simply to produce more and more deadly weapons.
Like America?
That a nation's economy could be totally wiped out, leaving industrial areas blighted, while close by, people spent all their money playing in high tech floating gambling palaces.
Well, Russia. But America probably isn't far behind.
That energy executives, when their productive capacity is destroyed, would merrily celebrate having to raise rates.
Put on some clean coveralls and a hat, drive up, get out with a clipboard and a box. Check the clipboard, check the house number, check the clipboard again, nod, and approach the front door.
Ring the bell, wait, ring the bell, wait, ring the bell, shrug. Pretend to scribble down the "time and date" on your note, attach it to the door, return to car, check clipboard for 'next delivery,' drive off.
Of course email isn't always the best way. For something small, like a bitty advertisement, it's probably fine. But, yes, generally FTP is the way to go, or upload it via courier-net.
However, what 'the best way is' and 'what people actually use' are, generally not the same.
A mistake it might be, but it happens all the time.
Email is not guaranteed delivery, nor is it timely delivery. HOWEVER, generally it works so damn well that people think of it as such.
Besides, what if the item in question can't be handled over a phone call? When you need to have a proof to your ad agency by 4 PM for inclusion in publication X, and said proof gets reject as being too spammy, how is a phone call going to help?

Perhaps the bristling part came after the interview was over; after all, they must have been pretty pissed to lodge a diplomatic compaint about it.
It happened. And Bush and co. were pissed.
Isn't that one of the classic ways a buffer-overflow condition can exist? You're not bothering to check the actual length of your input; you're assuming it will be within bounds.
First rule of secure programming: don't trust the input.
It depends on what you're XORing with.
If you're XORing with, say, the text of Romeo and Juliet, then no, it's not going to work very well once people figure that out.

There are all sorts of things that 'fail miserably' but still take years or decades to actually grind to a screeching, smoking halt.
'Twas re-released on Playstation (The Final Fantasy Chronicles, I think, with FF4) and therefore on the PS2.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names can scar forever.
Sorry, there's a bug in that script. It should be:
How about when you're talking about history or sociology?
CHUDs.
Also, the Internet hasn't exactly been built to specification; there are quite a few bottleneck backbones.
