What this means is that the message can only be read once, not that the message is impossible to decrypt. The government still has the same job it's always had.
Plus the distances involved are microscopic. For this to matter much to the government the single quanta of data has to last long enough to travel a significant distance.
Everyone who is asking for a Cringley Slashbox or something to tell them when the new column is only need look as far as their account settings. It has been there for quite a while.
The top slashbox on my page belongs to Cringley, and is echoed constantly by another link from the main page. In that respect it could be the most unnecessary slashbox available.
From the submission:"This is a big step in Russia's attempt to re-establish itself as a world naval super-power, after a decade of budget cuts."
Well I wouldn't exactly say that Russia isn't a navy super-power. They countinue to produce the best submarines in the world. Right now their first fourth generation (Borey class) strategic missile sub is being built, and they're making a new attack sub also.
This Corvette is not just Russia's idea. Smaller ships with more powerful weapons are simply a better idea then putting personal and resources into a valuable, highly concentrated target. There are about 200 Corvettes in the world right now, and the production of them is a billion dollar a year industry. Russia uses these things for sub detection, coastal patrol, and escorting. They've got first rate anti-sub and ant-ship missiles, a helicopter, surface to air missiles, and a 55 million dollar price tag.

Hi Cringley.
You don't have to dig. Google has already given you links to a lot of good, historical posts.
