Okay folks, however dumb accepting that shipment might have been, you have to say this: Jon is being awfully persistent. I mean come on, the guy has problems installing the thing, decides to go out and buy a system preinstalled, waits forever for it, it shows up, and he immediately does the geek thing: goes and tries to get it fixed. How many of you call up on warranty before you try it yourself or with a few friends (or strangers...) Keep it up, Jon.
By making the cryptotext bigger, you're increasing redundancy--no way about it. This is intrinsically insecure. Still, 2x2 matrices--wow! At very least it's an interesting new perspective on crypto methods.
There are asteroids which have smaller asteroids orbiting them, does that make them planets? Seriously though, here's the list of why Pluto is considered a planet:
Discovered in a search for a ninth planet, based on apparent perturbations in Neptune's orbit (which have since been explained otherwise)
Discovered when we didn't really know about the Kuiper belt.
That's about all. Why Pluto isn't a planet:
Looks like a Kuiper belt object, smells like a Kuiper belt object, walks like a Kuiper belt object.....Pluto has similar composition, size, and orbital characteristics as the Kuiper belt objects (yes, similar size. It's a particularly big one, but it's not horribly out of the class)
Orbit is highly inclined from the equatorial plane, in addition to being quite highly elliptical (the whole "closer-than-Neptune" thing)
Pluto and Charon are quite close to being the same size; they really function more as a double-body system. I believe the barycentre (centre of their mutual orbits) of the system is above the surface of Pluto; correct me if I'm wrong.
Oh, and we have very good data about Pluto. Just because we haven't sent a probe doesn't mean we don't know anything. HST data is especially good, but you can learn a lot just from looking at little point sources. Resolving the surface doesn't really give you any more information.
Is anyone interested in me doing a hand-translation on these things, or is babelfish good enough for you? If you prefer to stick to babelfish, then I won't bother. (email jnieho38@calvin.edu)
There's at least one CO2 laser (pulse-only) which emits in the VUV (IIRC)--dielectric barrier discharge pumped. But the point here is that we have a practical, cheap (?), small, reliable, continuous laser in the violet. Very, very nice.
Right on. My gf basically did the "sneak up behind him and whop him over the head--I WANT THIS ONE!" thing. She's intelligent and although she doesn't want to hack kernels with me, she understands that I do it and enjoy it.
Why didn't they register the domain name themselves? If they really wanted to protect their interests, they should have registered every domain name which they thought could be seized--otherwise it's horribly unfair. "Oh, so you want it, eh? Well, too bad, I didn't want it before, but I want it now, and I get it. muhahahah!"
I don't think they have a chance at a dilution argument. The services provided by Yahoo! and YaHooka aren't similar enough.
Of course, the problem is, Yahoo! doesn't have to be right. They just have to be more able to afford court costs than the little guy. This is where our legal system royally sucks.
MickeySoft makes operating systems? You're kidding! I never knew they made.....wait a minute. You're calling that an operating system?! Waaaaaaah! (To the overly serious: Just kidding. I just thought it was an interesting statement....)
...rocks. We drove all over town finding a place to see it, got in fifteen minutes late, and it was worth it. Agree on Private Ryan--it was well done, but what was the *point*?

Looks like no new mathematical things here--just applying SIMD to cryptanalysis. Kewl idea, but no new algorithmic problems.

They're out there, I swear!

Pardon my ignorance, but....
I didn't think Cyrix' supported SMP. Is smp.c always compiled in?
