Right, until they redefine "terrorist." Or change the rules. Or just break the rules they have, and then label anyone who calls them out on it as "un-American." I think that this is that part that people are concerned with:
(B) undermining efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq or to provide humanitarian assistance to the Iraqi people; That's really, really broad.
To be fair, Enigma wasn't security through obscurity. It was a pretty strong mechanical encryption system that had serious user flaws. Every day, they had to brute force the day code using cribs that they had learned throughout the war.
The Allies were only able to figure it out after they got a hold of one of the devices, analyzed it, and then rigged up a whole bunch of primitive Turing machines (Alan Turing was pretty essential to this whole process, by the way). Then, as mentioned above, they brute forced the key.
The Naval Enigma machines were pretty much unbreakable in a reasonable time without cribs. They were the same as the standard Enigmas but had more rotors, thus a higher complexity.
Had the radio operators been a little more careful, it would've been a lot harder to break Enigma.
Not entirely correct. Quantum encryption is unbreakable in traditional terms -- unless you know which photons are going to be used, and how to set your filter, you cannot crack it. Knowing those things isn't considered breaking the code -- it is on the level of actually having the key for the encryption.
1) With the way the system currently works, patents aren't easy to overturn, even with substantial prior art.
2) Everything and anything would be patented (things even more rediculous), and the USPO would have to spend more time overturning all the senseless ones. At least they're disalloqing some of the patents at the moment.

While I may be a recent HS graduate, I have worked with quite a bit of video equipment over the last four years, most of it semi-professional or professional grade. One things that I noticed about VHS is how quickly the quality deteriorates. The quailty is piss-poor to begin with, but after the 3rd generation it becomes unbearable. If you don't know what I mean, imagine looking at the picture through cloudy saran wrap. SVHS loses quality much slower, but is still bad. Our digital was great. Too bad we didn't order a decent editing program. But, the big problem was getting the digital to the school broadcast system--we taped it to SVHS for a while, but the the whole point of digital was lost. Eventually we jury-rigged it, but... *shrugs*
It seems that no one but the people in my video classes noticed the difference between VHS and SVHS. A few noticed the digital, but not many. The whole point is, no one's gonna notice except whose with an eye for it. So, if you're doing something like cheap pr0n, no one will care. ___ A requirement of creativity is that it contributes

I do a lot of video editing work at school, and have done it all with an analog editing setup. We finally got some digital equipment (1 Sony digital-8 camera and 2 iMacs with iMovie). When I started using iMovie, I thought it was a God-send: it was so easy to use. When I dove deeper into it, though, I found out that it lacked a few essential things that can be done with relative ease on the analog setup we had:
--Dubbing video over another video segment and keeping the original audio. --Taking audio only from the video footage.
Also, the sound effects that it has don't move with the movie track when you add another clip, and they're had to put back into the right place. The worst, however, is that iMovie has crashed several times, and it doesn't haev an auto-save feature. You lose EVERYTHING since your last save, which makes things time consuming. Adding credits can take upwards of 15 minutes, and if you lose that, a lot of time is wasted.

There's bugs in software? And they were covertly fixed? Never!
Nothing simpler but nothing weaker. Security through obscurity should not be suggested or implemented at any level. Ever.
The false sense of security that comes with it is more dangerous than the hole you're covering.

Who says that we can't violate relativity? After all, it is still a theory. A damn important one, mind you, but still unproven.
Remember -- an example of relativity working of not proof, but a counterexample is enough to discard the entire theory.
