  5. Re:Article is incorrect... on Folding@Home Reports Success · · Score: 2

    In all seriousness, apparently very little. How does your sentence even make sense? What aspect of RC5? The distrubted.net application of finding the key through brute force? The encryption itself? If the latter, how does that even begin to make sense? Which RC5 encryption level? 64? We aren't even really discussing encryption to begin with, we're discusssing distributed computing applications. I can't even begin to fathom the logic behind your sentence.

  6. Re:Article is incorrect... on Folding@Home Reports Success · · Score: 2

    Distributed.Net was NOT about encryption. It was about proving that distributed computing applications have merit, encryption was just the chosen application to prove that. Also, during the rc5-64 run, math and logic errors were found in the algorithm, so it wasn't all brute force. If you honestly think that the application is invalid because no one country could put that many computers together to pose a threat to our security, you're wrong.

    Maybe, but I don't see them going all the way as to more or less threaten the government of an entire country. What will be interesting is if the acquital stands and all companies that see their future in mod chip selling move to Australia. Microsoft would not be happy, to say the least, and we could order them from Australia direct to our doorstep. Which, of course, could lead to the potentially hilariously pathetic situation of Microsoft threatening our government concerning the import of such chips. Australia's one thing, but under no circumstances could Microsoft afford to come through on a threat like that with the USA.

    I know a guy that is one of the actors at the Star Trek Experience at the Hilton in Las Vegas. Plays a Farengi. For some reason this guy is a chick magnet to a degree you couldn't even begin to believe. He's been doing it for quite awhile now, and has developed more game than Parker Brothers. I've heard more stories about strippers playing with his "lobes" than I care to. The first few were very intersesting, and made for great Penthouse Forum submittions, though.

  17. Nellis on Boeing Bird of Prey Stealth Fighter · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I have to go out to Nellis for work occasionally. Last time I was there they had two B-2 Stealth Bombers parked near the runway. Seeing one of those things from the back, I am convinced they are the cause of 95% of saucer-shaped ufo sightings in the last 20 years.

  23. Funny, mildly off-topic story on Star Wars Producer Says Box Office is Doomed · · Score: 2

    A friend of mine manages a movie theater here in Las Vegas, Nevada. One night, I went to see a movie with my wife, and as I'm coming out, I see my friend and about 3 other managers chasing this little wanna be thug. Kid couldn't of been more than 10 years old. I stook around in the lobby to see what was going on, and about 10 minutes later, the managers come back in dragging this kid. Kid is just screaming obscenities, threating to beat people up that are 4 times his size, etc. My friend comes over to my wife and I and explains that an older woman(55+) had politely asked this kid to stop talking so loud and swearing in the theater, the kid has told her to fuck off, punched her, than ran. He probably would've gotten out of the place but my friend was slacking off and just happened to be in the same theater. So my friend books out, calls more managers, they chase the kid for about a block, tackle him, and bring him back. So the cops show up, and as this point I'm thinking the kid is going to break his exterior and just start crying. Of course, once the cops showed up he bitched out and started crying. The cops were nice enough to let us laugh at him.

    About 2 months later I learned that the husband of the older lady ended up suing the mother of the child, a woman who was barely one rung above poverty on the financial latter. I don't whether to feel bad or good about that. I'll go with good, no sympathy for her, especially considering their are a great many number of inner-city mothers that raise respectable, well-behaved kids.

    So that's my midly off-topic story, hope you were entertained.
