The difficulty I had thinking about this is noticing that it only holds true while the ice is floating. My mathematical bent was saying, but hey, what if we freeze all the water? surely the water level becomes zero, but of course the ice long since stopped floating.
If numerous experiments demonstrating action and reaction do not disprove it, then odds are that it is also correct.
Unfortunately that is just not true, if you compare the finite number of performed experiments against the infinite number of unperformed experiments you end up with the conclusion that your theory actually has zero change of being correct. So not only is proof of correctness not absolute, any kind of trend towards correctness can not be shown either.
Thats grossly oversimplified handwaving. It may be close to reality in a system where the politicians desire for power is overwhelmingly greater than the desire for service, but I live in the UK, and I'm pretty sure at all the elections I've been alive for, three political partys have won seats in England. Other regions have seen greater diversity as nationalist parties have also won seats. Each seat is elected by a strictly first past the post system. There is no proportional representation.
All you are saying is given code and data that people can't reverse engineer. This is blatantly not true. Now because EROS is not mainstream there won't necessarily be any script kiddie tools to help you out, but we aren't talking the kind of infinite time and money scenario here, we're not even talking the long time that encryption gives you, unless there is some reason why its not just (albeit hard) reverse engineering.
Now whether EROS and a physical security policy is more secure, or easier to secure than another OS and a physical security policy is a different argument.
If you can get a second PC for a day or two then you could install an IMAP server on it, copy your outlook mails to the IMAP server, then copy them to whatever Linux mail client you chose.
If you have a low powered second pc anyway you could keep it as a firewall/mail box - thats what I do.
Is what you are describing really true? Your talking got a little bit fast in the last paragraph. If I can boot in another operating system I can see all the data on the disk (Having no filesystem is just a red herring - the data is still there). The machine will bootstrap through normal BIOS procedures (at least in EROS which is i386 based). So I can follow all the code through.
The question then arises as to whether when the code wants to check for its first key, whether I can get that key or not. I'd wager that if booting EROS normally, someone has that key then I'd be able to get the same key when shadowing from a separate operating system
In other words what you say smacks of security through obscurity, though feel free to show me otherwise.
I thought it was a huge Vauxhall (British GM?) plant in Luton. At least thats what I see as I sneak down the hill to the airport hoping that nobody sees me in Luton.

Am I, in the US, going to need this silly number to read BBC News or buy something from them? S-T-U-P-I-D.
I doubt it, but you may if you try and claim government benefits.
Aww, there goes another attempt on my part to give up caffeine on a Monday morning. Hand me a LART somebody.
Thats a gross generalization about every meaningful C compiler/architecture combination under the sun. Including those that have not yet been written.
And since when has European being Anti-American?

Only joking :-)
I know many Sun users who liked CDE because it was stable as a rock.
On most of the low end Solaris machines I have used it was about as fast as a rock too. Does anyone know whether Gnome will be (or feel) quicker?
Eh? Do you really think a billion Indians and a billion chinese would have voted for Gore?
Would legislation cost me any less?
You ply it to Peter Molyneux, and the say yes when he offers you the source code to his latest and greatest.
These plots are 32 times as good as the 2-bit plots in Hollywood movies.
<pedantic>I hope you mean 2^62 times as good if you are talking about 64 bit plots.</pedantic>
Everything that claimed it needed a reboot worked fine without it -- except for MS security patches
I guess the question is whether the MS security patches worked after the reboot, either?
Only if you count duplicates separately

Yeah, its the other 90% you have to worry about.
Just like the plural of ox is ices
Cool, thanks for the explanation. Thats the kind of (relatively) obscure fact thats bound to come in useful one day.
It would be mildly amusing until the perp used the same mechanism on his end of the attack.
Do batch files do tail recursion? Or will that overflow a stack eventually? I know which my money is on, albeit from a position of zero knowledge.
Cool, thanks for the explanation
