    Come on ! Visual C++ has had an IDE for what, twelve years ? and Borland C++ 15 ?

    FILM at 11 ! The news is already there ! It's the film that cannot be teleported and therefore will be late.

  8. Economy of scales on DVHS on a Budget · · Score: 1

    Except in many (not all) cases, it makes more sense to only have one product to manufacture, the better one, and then to limit usage for the cheaper one. CPUs come to mind (486SX did have a unconnected fpu; different frequencies often mean no more than a resistor or switch)

    Oh I see, and only graphite can be used in pencils I suppose ? And the Russians did not win the space race because of their rockets exploded because of the graphite in the pencils ?

  16. Correlation doesn't imply causation on Grand Theft Auto Led Teen to Kill · · Score: 1

    Violent people tend to like violent videogames. Teens tend to like violent videogames.

    This doesn't mean violent videogames change teens into violent people.

    Other example : in Italy there's a correlation between internet use and divorce rate. But actually, it's more because the poorer south is more religious, and the richer north is more connected. So no causation.

    Ok, so the money DVD sales are making is some 15 milliard dollars. But somehow, it's the piracy that took the money away from CD sales...

  25. Re:how about dual-plaintext messages? on Plausible Deniability From Rockstar Cryptographers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Disclaimer : IANBS (I am not Bruce Schneier)

    1. use the decoy D plaintext as a One Time Pad (yes, OTPs are inconvenient and need to be transmitted secretely too) and encrypt your plaintext P with it. This gives ciphertext C. C = f(P,D)=f(D,P)

    2. when "they" require you to give up your key, give them the message you wanted to hide from them. Cross your fingers they don't look at that OTP. When they decrypt the ciphertext with the key, they will get the decoy message. Just hope for them not to look at the key you gave them. Social engineer them to just decrypt without looking at it. P=f^-1(C,D); but also D=f^-1(C,P), (cipher algo f was chosen to respond to this law, and must be given to the authorities.

    Apart from this very dangerous method, I don't think there is a way to create a cipher that would transmit a innocent and a less innocent message together without getting a ciphertext with an Quantity of Information not higher than either messages. In fact, OTP methods *do* transmit more information than the payload, ie the OTP has to be transmitted too.
