  1. Re:Questions. on FBI Releases Document Confirming Roswell UFO · · Score: 1

    Did you ever consider that other information on the subject is likely classified? Anyway, I'm shocked that this was released by the FBI, if it actually was.

    What level of classification is "likely."

    You can just imagine the new X-Box controller manual. “Just force the electrodes in to the side of you skull as shown in the diagram ...” :0)

    Use RoHS solder to connect DB9 Cannon plug to electrodes. Connect pin 1 to positive and pin 8 to negative. Disregard this if your brain is a positive ground model.

    An anonymous reader writes with a not-unexpected followup to one of the break-ins of the century, when a group of curious scientists decided to see what was left of the uncompleted giant collider project in East Texas. From the article: "A team of four physicists was arrested this morning at the headquarters of the American Physical Society (APS) in College Park, MD. officers from the Department of Homeland Security entered the building around 8:30 a.m. and detained the suspects without . The group is charged with breaking and entering a secure government facility, destruction of government property, stealing national secrets and parking illegally."

    How about using a one-time pad. It is unbreakable (in a theoretical setting, of course). But better than 40BC tech.

    Venona was broken because the one time pad was reused.

    Where is that 6 number coming from? You could have literally pulled any number you wanted to make that statement true.

    If it had been "only 10 million users" then you could have easily said "With an average of 46 accounts per player, that equals 450 million fake accounts. Sounds like the previous poster had a pretty good estimate.".

    Come on people - random ass numbers aren't correct merely because you can adjust them to fit your desired result.

    What is an ass number? If it is random, then what is the distribution?
