It is his property. It's certainly more his responsibility than some guy who spent a few hours surveying the property once upon a time. If the land owner found treasure buried in the back yard would he share it with the surveyor?
Yup. File a lawsuit. That's the answer for everything today. How DARE that surveyor not notice that something was buried on the property 400 years ago? The sad fact is that people like you think of solutions like that, and would have no trouble whatsoever in finding a sleazbag lawyer willing to take the case (for a percentage).
He's thinking of this. Which contains the quote "God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion". I'll leave the parsing and larger context of the quote up to you.
IIRC, the first software patent in the US was for the UNIX SUID/SGID bits, and that patent was for the mechanical imlementation, with an "oh by the way, you could do this in software, too" clause, which was the first step down the slippery slope that got us to where we are today. As to a direct answer to your question, how about a software implementation of RSA, rather than dedicated hardware? (Yes, I know, I know, for those of you about to quibble).
"Have you ever been sitting there, quietly computing something and thinking to yourself, 'If only this process were somehow billions of times slower, less reliable, and involved lots of physical labor?'"
You're really missing out, it's hysterical. Don't watch it expecting "Starship Troopers", watch it as though it's "Klendathu 90210". Some really funny stuff in there.
According to the order itself, the FBI request "satisfies the requirements of U.S.C. 50 Ss 1861" -- which reads in part:
50 USC 1861 - Access to certain business records for foreign intelligence and international terrorism investigations
(a) Application for order; conduct of investigation generally
(1) Subject to paragraph (3), the Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation or a designee of the Director (whose rank shall be no lower than Assistant Special Agent in Charge) may make an application for an order requiring the production of any tangible things (including books, records, papers, documents, and other items) for an investigation to obtain foreign intelligence information not concerning a United States person or to protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities, provided that such investigation of a United States person is not conducted solely upon the basis of activities protected by the first amendment to the Constitution.
(2) An investigation conducted under this section shallâ"
(A) be conducted under guidelines approved by the Attorney General under Executive Order 12333 (or a successor order); and
(B) not be conducted of a United States person solely upon the basis of activities protected by the first amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
So, apparently, calling Mom isn't protected by the First Amendment. Good to know.
I have an ASUS motherboard that refuses to boot from USB unless it's a UEFI image or you manually go into the BIOS each time and tell it to boot from that device.
I used to bump into a Sun-Times staff photographer at the local Starbucks once in a while. He had approximately $15,000 in LENSES hanging around his neck.

I'm guessing the High Performance Computing guys might be interested as well.
With Oracle you know.
Guess the worst, expect 10 times as worse, get 100 times as bad.
FTFY
Now if only the cell towers had power...
Honest to god, those motherfuckers are going to be first up against the wall when the Revolution comes. Them and Congress.

More like magnetic cores than CDs, actually.

All you people who think Oracle is the embodiment of evil and Larry Ellison is the devil incarnate are... ...absolutely right.
No. I swore off on Perl years ago.

How many gears does an Egyptian tank have?
Seven, six in reverse, in case it's attacked from behind.

You could end up with a laptop with Windows 8 on it.
You cared enough to try to correct me.
Whoosh.
