Okay, you caught me: I may have gotten my terminology a bit mixed up. But if you sign/encrypt/whatever data with the public key, people can't read the data unless they have the private key.
TrueCrypt doesn't actually use public key encryption for the main de/encryption process (as it would apparently be hellaciously slow or something). It just uses PKE to encrypt the symmetric key, which I would guess is what must then be stored in the partition.
And you can't sign anything with either the public or private key and still be able to decrypt it unless you have the other half of the key pair.
I was picturing forward time travel, actually. You would basically "skip over" the intervening time period...although if you're timeless, how you would manage to time your reentry into the universe to hit the right destination is rather problematic.
After reading the article (WTF, right?), I was somewhat amused by the shock and dismay he displayed that some random person could have accessed all his files (including tax and medical records in a different account). . . . Dude, it's the Cloud.
Sounds like a good theory to allow time travel, too!:D Assuming "being timeless" doesn't have a nasty effect on human biological functioning or something...
He's not saying there's a set number of states. A state is just a snapshot, for the purposes of this conversation one noticeably different from the other.
By that argument, and the transitive property, source code is the same as the binary as well because the compiled binary is a series of numbers that can be read as commands. (They're gradations of the same thing; no two of the three is "the same".)
I liked the thought experiment in some book I read once (was it that "Imagining the Tenth Dimension" one, maybe?) that described how free will only makes sense from our linear perspective of time, i.e. some other form of life that has different motion on the axis of time would consider the concept nonsense, as it only really works if we don't know the outcome for sure.

I think the point of the test would be kind of nullified if it allowed extended execution length or parallelization.

Yes. They give you a couple complex calculus problems and if you get them right, you're a robot.

How is the first one incest or rape?
Yeah, because that would be doable in a finite amount of time.
Current nukes, yes. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun-type_fission_weapon
And how does switching from one form of fossil fuel to a different one help, exactly?

Well, 64% of those on board survived, yeah, which just makes it a somewhat inefficient way to kill people.
Plus, y'know, the Hindenburg had about a hojillion times as much hydrogen in it as you would ever fit in a car...

Why would he put em-dashes there in the first place?
If the password policies* of J Random Bank is any indication, I assume that the only way most banks are secure is out of sheer luck, not competence.
*At least one lowercase, uppercase, number, and symbol...but limited to a max of 8-16 characters. WTF

Mentioning JavaScript and "ASM" (presumably not standing for assembly) in the same sentence makes me throw up a little in my mouth.
...Hence why they're talking about adding DRM to HTML5.
Yeah, by then they'll probably be on Chrome 94.
Lesser. 'Lessor' refers to someone who leases something to another.

You evidently have a different definition of 'initiate' than I :)
Adhering to one or another psychological model is not the same as "not understanding philosophy."
