What about all the people on phones who didn't crash into you? Statistical inference is a bitch. If you don't have the data or can't do the math, you can't do statistical inference.
I'm not saying it's obviously better. I'm saying it's an obvious idea with prior art that got patented, despite the fact that neither obvious ideas, nor ideas that have prior are are eligible to be patented.
I.E. If you implement these RFC 6090 "Pre-patent" methods, the first obvious thing you would think of to make it better is point compression. That is one of the obvious implementation things that were patented.
I think, but do not know for sure, that 'persnickety' is more common the the United States of America, whereas 'pernickety' is what is spoken in British English. I certainly never heard 'persnickety' until I moved to the United States.
I could check, but I won't, because I cannot be arsed.
>The important Office products are PowerPoint and Excel. There are no good competitors for either.
There are many perfectly serviceable competitors for PowerPoint and Excel, both free and proprietary.
What there is no effective competition for is Visio. Visio is far and away the most effective technical drawing tool. Nothing comes close. It is the reason I use Office. I can write words and make slides on any platform, but I can't get the smartshape automation of Visio anywhere else.
In my case (frontier) it costs me $100 extra per month for a 'business' connection with static IP and unblocked ports. But I bend over and take it because I can.
1) Over conservative corporate lawyers who think ECC is a no-go land 2) Fear, uncertainty and doubt about whether certicom will come after you with their lawyers 3) Suspicion by tin foil hat bearers that the NSA are promoting elliptic curve algorithms (in RFC6090) they know how to break 4) Engineers who don't know how to avoid stepping on patented parts of elliptic curve cryptography implementations. 5) Obsolete operating systems that don't understand ECC certs 6) Anything else I haven't thought of
I think the people who wield the root certs were hoping that ECC would come around before they had to switch to 2048, but it didn't. The crushing effect of certicom's obvious patents and the lateness of the NSAs RFC6090 meant that RSA won again.
I don't see anything improving on the ECC front. All the structural problems remain. We'll be messing with 4096 RSA before long and your smart cards will all have to be replaced.
I've never been in a fine dining restaurant that felt hoity toity. If you're paying the price, you should bloody well get the service, or those stars won't be there next year

No, the other ones.
Then they should use intel parts.

That's being pernickety, not being pedantic.
So am I.
Top tip: The random number generator in these small battery operated devices is always crap. So the key establishment protocol cannot be secure.
Qualcomm aren't using CPUs analgous to strong oxen. They're using two chickens, otherwise known as ARMs.
He was good in Wild Target. Not a hint of Weasley.
It depends. My scientific apps mostly use finite fields.
No. Should I?
I'm waiting to be able to install HURD on my phone.

With static IP subnets and unblocked ports.

D wave doesn't appear to do factoring.

>Do we really want a military full of people who think it's okay to give away millions of pieces of data whenever and for whatever?
Yes, when the military is committing illegals acts and violating the constitution. In those cases it is other people who should go to jail.
That's why the real car theft business feeds the parts business. Steal it - take it apart - sell the parts.
Thank you. We pro-foodie trolls need a forum in which to perform our trolly acts.
I see he has his priorities straight.
