How do you think we GOT to a situation in which (for most of us in the first world anyway) most of us can assume correctly that our entire lives will be spent peacefully in blissful ignorance of the consequences of war across our homes, our families, and our lives? How do you think we got to this point? The planet has never lacked strongmen who would cheerfully take what they want and impose their will on others.
You are failing to acknowledge that the majority of the world IS, in fact, pray of strongmen who cherfully take what they want and impose their will on others. Just because you are on "their side" (the "first world") doesn't make them any more right.
Increasing EC key-lenght yelds cyphertext that is more difficult to crack with respect to increasing RSA key-lenght. I don't remeber the numers or proportions, tho, so i'll just use a loose example (don't follow the numbers here strictly): Doubling the RSA key-lenght will give you a cypher that's polynamialy more difficult to crack, while doubling EC key-lenght will give you a cypher that's exponentially more difficult.
Yeah, so we'll have lots of useless data on how animals behave when on booze.
"Do orangos prefer Brandy over Whiskey?"
"If you were a dog, what brand of beer would you choose?"
We could even have reality shows about how our zebrafish is doing in her withdrawal comunity!
I remember we had an article about them a year ago.
It was $400, 2560x1400 pixels, and people that bought them had good things to say about them.
I was actually going to buy one, but I'm forced to a laptop because of the nature of my work.
Hi-res laptops are so difficult and expensive to have these days... sigh.
You're an obvious troll, but I'll take the occasion to state a point here:
Freedom means nothing without stating what ehtical priciples are inspiring it. That's not how anarchy (the movements) work.
It really pisses me off that some random guy can develop printing guns for the sake of "freedom", calling himselp "anarchist", and people accounting him on that.
Agreed.
I don't know where that comes from, but it's total bullshit, plain wrong, and should never come from somebody writing an article about programming.

harmed it more than just about anyone I can think of
If you added "in the open source community" I could have considered your point.
Rainbow gatherings didn't.
[...]the best supercomputer in existence will only be able to model its future behavior "very approximately".[...]
That or the fact that man-made models might be inaccurate/incomplete/off.
Nontheless the only way finding out is, you guessed, crash-testing it.

Or something like that.
I hope you realize that there is no chance of "corporations under control" in the capitalistic ruleset.
Android is 3rd-party device only with all Google services removed
OH GOD, that would be sooo awesome. You actually got me exited with this thought.
Another "service" Goggle capitalizes on, for free.
It makes me want to cry when I think of how many catchas I've typed...

No, it doesn't sound like a bad idea in case you trust the service.
Oh wait!
From victim of assault to stupid and ignorant. You claim to remove Bias, then subtly introducing yours.
How ignorant of empathy are you, Anon?
And sits right on the dept. name ;)

So how exactly big is "one time bigger"?
What does this actually bring in utility to my life?
"We don't know yet, but buy one, and you'll figure it out. We promise!"
If they can chew kevlar, they're my new superheroes.
Agreed.

Also, Insightful parent.
The answer is, pretty obviously, "NO!".
What's our next product to export?
I'm not a native English speaker, can you please rephrase that?
So, what they're doing is the same exact things tens of thousands have done before them without being pretencious pricks?
I'm really confused with what should i moderate this comment with.
I both agree with what he's saying and disagree with the troll-style.
Maybe I'll just comment.
Can't argue with that, mate, I do agree that my toothbrush should be allocated to me only.
It's the way the resources are allocated that puzzles me.
