This attack doesn't actually rely on any of that - it's akin to photocopying all the one-time pads you've given to the user. To say that this is bidirectional cryptography is misleading at best.
Which is exactly why bias crime laws require that the prosecution show intent. And yes, police and courts historically did a much much worse job of protecting racial minorities, and still do in many areas.
Sounds like their marketing team has been taking naming cues from supervillains lately. "Sure, it's InVincible... as long as you don't push this shiny red self-destruct button."
In part because some really innovative technologies, medications for example, cost billions of dollars to develop and the time to recoup that investment is going to be longer than five years.
Irrelevant. Patents are not meant to recoup investments.
Of course they are. The whole idea of a patent is that the inventor put a non-zero amount of work into research and development - and we want to reward that work with a limited protection so as to enable them to profit from their work. If a profit-driven company believes that the cost of R&D exceeds the likely profit, they simply will not pursue that option.
From my time in the beta, it's basically Diablo 2 again, with somewhat more interesting character build options (I was never a min-maxxer, though, so take this with a grain of salt) and updated graphics, which is basically all I was hoping for.:)
Slashdot Mirror
Okay, I totally agree with that.
As long as it's not tested on animals!
That's not really Slashdot truisms, just libertarian truisms (save 3 and 4, perhaps).
The issue isn't whether they fund research - clearly they do. The GP was taking issue with "the only one" part.
Ah yes, because mechanical clocks that are hundreds of years old automatically adjust for leap seconds.
You've never heard of muddying the waters?
Then one hundred 1 TB drives.
To be fair, Clue http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clue_(film) was pretty good.
Oh. Yes he did. Clearly I need to work on my reading comprehension.
No, I wasn't joking. The RIAA hires lobbyists and pays their salaries.
When the headline is a question, the answer is usually "no."
Well, for starters, it takes hundreds of years for soil to become fertile "from scratch."
Exactly. They're cloning the software token, not breaking the scheme that the hardware uses.

Just like most rapists think "all guys rape."

It's called a salary.
So, you lied about the scammer bit, because you knew how incredibly creepy the truth sounded?
It wouldn't politicize science - it would sciencify politics.
"the people with money are in charge."
I wonder if the lawyers outnumber the rich in the federal legislatures.
Heaven forbid a government collect money in order to enable it to do anything.
Agreed - I am having no success piecing together these conversations.
