If someone were to take my book, cut off the binding, and duplicate it on a high speed duplicator (perhaps a Xerox brand duplicator) and resell, I would be irked. If this were common, I may not write another book.
More to the point, if this were common, I might not bother writing the book in the first place.
If someone else claims it as their own, I'd definitely not bother.
Isn't probation something you get INSTEAD of a sentence?
Mitnick is free earlier than the court wants because he agreed to comply with restrictions in exchange for being out of jail. In two years, he no longer has to obey those restrictions.
If he simply stayed in jail for his full sentence, he could walk out and do what he pleases, day one.
An AC posted this two days ago, and none of the moderators have upped it. Way to go.
NSI doesn't even have an E10K. The the new IBM machine replaced a Sun E450, which is a 4 (400MHz) CPU machine.
The Washington Post article was wrong.
This is a nice marketing coup for IBM, but it should come as no surprise that a new 32 processor box can handle a larger load than an older 4 processor machine.
Guess again. In fact, the US Government is the single largest Iridium customer, with about 3000 handets of the 10,000 going to them. They even constructed their own downlink facility to handle their traffic.
Yes. LANL has a working prototype of a quantum key distribution system (QKD) that allows secure exchange of keys, and a search on "Quantum Cryptography" in the IEEE or ACM databases will turn up the recent work in the field.
Heh, I just did a graduate research paper on this topic.
The increase in factoring speed POTENTIALLY (it has not yet been done) gained by employing quantum factoring is easily compensated for by using larger keyspaces. There is a great deal of writing on this subject available, including some very clear articles by Shamir.

Everyone calm down, ja ne?

If each of us had paid $25 for it, I think there would be a better product.
Alternatively, what can one expect for free?
Find a browser and BUY it, or contribute code if you are able. Anything else is pathetic.
Also, we would be well advised to approach this comparison with a bit more composure than we did the last time around.
