I guess that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that pi can never be written out all the way, not that we don't know how to do it, but physically there are not enough atoms to write it out. I guess the same goes for being able to use all possibilities of 512 bit encryption.
But since there are more possibilities than atoms in the visible universe I guess that means all the rest are in the mind.
We all know that the way to make documents secure does not including making them accessable via the internet or intranet or any net, regardless of encryption or key size.
For it only takes the breaking of one key document at the right time and misuse of the information found, for the NSA to then need to have someone to blame while the damages of the results would still exist.
Encryption, regardless of how big the key is, still has the possibility of someone hitting it, like the lottery.
Not to mention I read somewhere recently how an enycription string length, the longer it gets the more likely it is to be written down somewhere or placed under a less secure but easier to remember key or password.
the best insurance against getting burnt by fire, is to not play with it and even do the things that reduce the reasons anyone else would be.
Sure, there are plenty of good and productive uses for them. But I'm not going to tell M$ what those are. Perhaps I should be supprised that such a great innovation machine as MS claims to be, haven't themselves figured this out from the start?
of course its surface tension, like liquid sticks together with itself and some liquid like ink sticks to surfaces too (otherwise your words would roll off the paper.... DUH!)
But its gravity that causes ink to fall back away from a pen point, so yeah what we really have with those specially designed space pens is really earth pens that can write upside down in the gravity of earth.
Its all about what space you are talking about and of course marketing...
How many bought a space pen while having absolutely no possibility of ever getting into outerspace to find out if they were sold a defective product?
And some still believe the moon landing was a fake.... Hmmm, like there is some reason to not believe? DUH!
Ever hear of the clean room software development process?
Can it be applied to such a thing as this?
NO!
Why? Because its a physically describe device, exist in physical reality. Where reinvention is greatly limited to the small scope of physical reality, vs. the physics of abstraction reality.
But it does seem that they themselves may be a bit confused about licensing practices. Ultimately the restrictions they have placed on teh device allow you to create exactly zero jigs from it, or at best one backup.
Think of it this way, Imagine having such a license on something like a word processor where the restriction extend to what you create with it.
They are taking a license designed for something of such broader scope in nature and applying it to something with less scope that has a natural effect of creating even further constraints, to the point of being pointless.
Are they also going to require individuals to be licensed to legally use the device? And charge a charge a multi-user site license?
There laws may not be our laws but contracts are contracts and the thing to question is who is breaking the contract, nullifying any responsibility of the transcriber has to adhear to the contract?
At what point, to use the sound barrier as an analogy, does the war machine break the war barrier, in that going beyond it is pointless?...Such that monies spent on the waring R&D can then be put into genuinely eliminating any desire to commit waring acts?
Why does it never seem to stop, this desire to place constraints on consumer choice?
People get tired of the constraints being placed on them so they create their own, only to then have a persistant effort to take their choice away from them.
With technology making it easier and easier to create, you'd think the exclusive rights would get shorter and shorter, so as to re-emburse for R&D.
And I also wionder if there is some sort of connection with EU approves software patents??? as it relates to the changes of interests this thread is about.
It should be of no supprise that there are those who are against open source for the only reason they might share, that open source helps to remove the "you need us and we will charge you" mindset.
Consumer choice is the real target of subversion, that is to remove consumer choice. But with open source the ugliness of the proprietary mindset simple didn't sit well enough with those who are ultimatley consumers too, the programmers of Open Source.
That the text has to first contain some knowledge in it to begin with?
Maybe this is just an attempt at getting a machine to generate core knowledge but then haven't they been working on common sense, which is sorta needed first?
I'd think them telemarketeers would appriciate the reduction of numbers they call that would likely result in a hang up, and the people who can't say no to sales people should have a way to say no indirectly.
What this conflict does is just expose those who are in the business of selling names/number lists as I'm sure it will reduce their income by reducing the amount of what they sell.
Interesting how SCO wants damages paid to them but the public and companies MS hurt and killed don't get that..... but instead a promise from MS they won't do it again...... while they continue to.

It only takes one hit.
Is that where you keep your passcodes? On your arm.

how about just paying the guy his due amount.

What the World really wants
Yep, MS has there hand extended to embrace TRON.....
And I believe I read a slashdot posted article where the US suppressed the evolution of TRON...... I'm sure MS is very grateful....
D of I .... when was teh last time you really read it?

Hey look, one of my pet troll is back...
Hmmm, interesting..
Considering what is found here and here? and also here.
It should be of no supprise that there are those who are against open source for the only reason they might share, that open source helps to remove the
"you need us and we will charge you" mindset.
Consumer choice is the real target of subversion, that is to remove consumer choice. But with open source the ugliness of the proprietary mindset simple didn't sit well enough with those who are ultimatley consumers too, the programmers of Open Source.
Freedom of choice.... That's the bottom line.

Posting to an MS article!!!
Lie?
Or when did it become not illegal??
Are SCO still distributing Linux?
or how to create land mines on the keyboard...

Hey, we committed federal crimes against the public and got away with it, and our software creates all sorts of security risks ----- we be cool....
What are some current shows these facts about MS can be used on to communicate "cool"?
when the hardware gets hackered and cracked, then you will have to upgrade....
Whats the difference between hardware and software when it comes to bit flipping?
to put something in hardware gains the advantage of speed but the inflexability of change.
Martha, the kitchen has a virus ...... again...
Well like hey man, we all know the RIAA stands for Really Ignorant Artificial Agents...
