As an example I just googled, brute-forcing AES-128 at 10 Petaflops would take 10 quintillion years (10^18).
Brute-forcing Yahoo's CIO at about 1 lash per second with a rubber hose won't even take 5 minutes. And a single National Security Letter will shut the whole thing down anyway.
...I don't quite understand what he's trying to accomplish in enacting a law that can't be enforced...
Provides probable cause.. Cops can knock your door down and detain you on mere suspicion. The more laws we can have the more suspicious you are of committing a crime.
And at that point, the big US vendors are really in trouble.
Not really. They just shift their stock portfolios over to other things like household products and diapers. They all trade with each other enough to stay in business. All that Wall Street money continues to flow right over our heads.
And something else. The film is not entirely false by any means. It is a slightly exaggerated and a bit overly dramatic caricature of how things really do work in this world. Feel free to shed your naivete.
(they don't have monopoly on force, taxation power, or any sort of sovereignty)
Yes, they do. They own the governments they put into place. The are the government, using puppets that sold their souls for a piece of the pie. You're wagging the dog.
No, we have prisons for profit. You wouldn't know unless you've been there. If you any tolerance at all for collateral damage in warfare, then you should quit your bellyaching.
Certainly a good way to protect themselves from American whistleblowers that expose their complicity. Let's not try to fool anybody into believing Europe is somehow innocent or more enlightened than anybody else. Nationalism/racism is on the rise, ready to start another world war. Even the Dutch with their semi-legal weed is mired neck deep in bigotry.
You should know better tan to vote for anyone who wants the job. The position is always doomed to be compromised under such circumstances. We would be much better off with a lottery system. If your name gets drawn out of the hat, *tag*, you're it.
In today's multi/transnational corporate world the USA does not exist. The famous Authur Jensen speech from 1976 comes to mind. There is nobody that's going to protect us from this anywhere in the world. Anybody who tries will be 'liberated'. And the biggest part of the problem is that people keep on blaming policy and politicians for this, and nobody will look in the mirror and admit that they voted for it, To them I say, *you asked for it, thankyouverymuch.* The ball is in our court.
Hey, don't worry about your bandwidth man. Your site only needs to be scraped once. Then we can distribute for you. Once the stuff is in our machines, it's ours.
Is that what Brian Boitano would do? Or would he drink Canada Dry?
The interesting thing about using the drones domestically is that it will be harder to cover up these accidents the way they can overseas as classified information. Now we might see how reliable or not they are, and if they are really being used more than once before they wreck.
I was responding to this specifically before you jumped in. The disaster is still man made. I did not specify which man. Though I will say now that the ones on top the totem pole are the ones to look at. They neglected to care for their people. Hurricanes, regardless how big, don't make surprise attacks these days.
Copyright is piracy. It steals from the public. We are taking back our rights when we circumvent it, the exact reverse of piracy. Once the smoke is out of the chimney, it is everybody's. If you don't like it, don't light the fire. You are free to appeal to authority and curry its favor as you wish. Don't expect the same from us. If the law wants respect, it has to show some to those who can't afford to buy it.
That's right. Current copyright law and its advocates deserve none whatsoever, as it was written and bought by the content cartels, been that way ever since Gutenberg and his damn printing press. They are the ones with a grand sense of entitlement with the endless extensions every time Mickey Mouse gets a little too close to being in the public domain, and the rest of society is suffering for it. The only good thing coming from it are the incentives to being about technological methods to circumvent it. And I'm looking forward to more of that until there is a serious attempt towards abolition. To that end I shall devote my efforts. You are more than welcome to abandon the dark side and join us.
You have my condolences, but I'm not sure you get it. Driverless cars will have us rightfully demanding far lower rates in general and hopefully, more widespread no-fault insurance (something we should have now anyway), and lay most of the liability on the manufacturer, where it will belong, something they won't like either. The current system will have to be completely torn down.
...as there are many legit uses of it, but that's probably the most that can be said legally until copyright violations come down to more reasonable levels.
Don't expect that until copyright duration comes down to more reasonable levels. Otherwise screw them.
That was my very first thought on the issue, but the loss of revenue from traffic violations will have a dramatic effect on local municipalities and the insurance industry. I expect much resistance.
The "sense of entitlement" that you people all like to hammer everybody else with comes from the copyright holders. I'm trying to combat that. Regardless, whenever I hear people bring up "your (my) sense of entitlement", I know they are trolling, and my regular response to such crap is not safe for work.

Nonsense. Giving the order means nothing if nobody is there to execute them.

Where's the beef?

You're too cool for me. :-) What is hip!

Certain measures must be taken to assure the voters they are not to blame.

Reminds me of Singer and IBM 75 from years ago..
Like carelessly made Cream of Wheat.
"They have made their decision, now let them enforce it"
It was a gym bag, not a suitcase..
This was made famous by Salvador Allende when he committed suicide by airstrike and shooting himself 37 times.

I work in the insurance industry...
