Your making a theorhetical argument based on what you think is reasonable based on other fields.
So who are these other cryptographic experts. Here is a hint, there is a very very very short list of people who are capible of making them.
On top ot this, there are only a handful of crypto algorythms in public use, none has survived without being cracked as long as blowfish. The feat itself is rare, and few if any commericial algorythms stand up to the test of time, and least not to the extremes like blowfish.
Then we have its successor twofish which is a modernization, again widely used.
Shcieners' name keeps popping up in the "achievements" list, to include advising the NSA on AES and SHA projects, gold standards of modern civilian crypto.
There simply is not a single invidual more involved in crypto, outside of secret projects. This guy is not a steve jobs.
Schneier is the guy who wrote blowfish, twofish, and previously worked with the NSA as an observer with AES, and is probably one of the foremost experts in cryptography in the world.
He is certainly the foremost expert and creator of good publicly available cryptography
yeah, stupid unions wanting working wages. They weren't asking for a raise, they were asking that their salaries didn't get cut from $18/hour to $14/hour!
and how much does management make to sit with their thumbs in their asses?
If they wanted to save the company, they could have. The press decided to blame it on the unions.
Its called "stupid hipster syndrome", where they try and think of some cause, or something that will help the country/planet, but end up doing more harm than good, because they spend more time asserting their authority as "intellectuals", and "saviors", and can't seem to look at the people they would be helping as so much human beings.
At the end of the day, they decide that money, power and fame, is what really matters, and the rest of the world is some mess of unwashed undeserving cretins, so they fudge numbers, make things up, pat themselves on the back and congradulate themselves for disrupting other peoples lives and accomplishing nothing.
there were people/corporations/governments that though the holocaust was a good idea./godwin, but to prove a point that every bad anti-social oppressive idea does actually work for some people, the people in charge at the expence of everyone else.
"All you guys did was drive the individual artists out of business so these corporate bullies could step in and rake *all* the profits." No, the same big corporations such as the RIAA and MPAA did that. Its because of their aggressive marketing, they've made sure there is no markett for anyone else. Justin Bieber is what you can listen to without being being labeled as "crazy", or something else where you inherently lack rights, such as being free from assault. This was going on even in the 1990s.
". All you guys did was drive the individual artists out of business so these corporate bullies could step in and rake *all* the profits." First you complain about big chain stores, next your talking about artists going out of business. Now has never been a better time for live music. This is a bold face lie. None of those artists made a dime off record sales.
" Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and Justin Bieber style music is all that anyone can make money doing nowadays."
Black Sabbath Just go back together and released a new album with all original content. Oh, it sounds sick too.
I think there is more live music going on now, and with the same computers, and even the same technology that is used to "pirate", such as CD Burners, MP3s, and audio tools, can easily be used by artists to produce music without the need for record labels.
The only people really bitching are record label owners. They've always been sleeze bags who've abused musicians. So take your corporation shill ass out of here. Don't wanna here it. The movie industry doesn't have to pay the same 10-20 shitty actors $30 million a movie for a blockbuster with a total budget of $100 million, then bitch about money.
Next you'll talk about how living wage drove blue collar jobs to china.
the problem is gagets for the most part are now hipster accessories.
There were actually useful tablets before Android/iOS, and now you can't find any x86, or even Archos tablets, that either run linux, or can run linux, or any other full power OS.
meego had a very slick lucid UI. Windows phones are guarunteed to work with absolutely nothing and be a pain to program for. There aren't many developers flocking to windows, the app pool is very small.
with GNU/Linux, at least there is Davlik/Alien which lets you run android apps. It was already running on meego, plus it was fairly simply to run powerful desktop apps that ran under linux Desktops.
Windows Phone is supposed to work like that, sharing the same kernel, but somehow it doesn't because its locked down. If windows phone could run re-complied windows desktop apps, like desktops and laptops do, it'd be worth it. It doesn't.
responsive and polished is not how I'd rate windows.
So why do you go back to ironing your brown shirt we all know exists in your closet.
the issue isn't the FBI attacking pedophiles(which I agree, good riddance to bad rubbish).
Its also things like TORMail, and other non-pedophile sites.
This is good in a way because it proves a good PoC that
"But again, there are legal issues here. Why did the FBI have the right to infiltrate TORmail? They are using general warrants here, just like the NSA does. Because one person may be using TORmail for illicit purposes, the FBI feels that it can install tracking and search software on every user."
because American law enforcement works on the principle of "arrest everyone and sort it all out later". Given the notion that everyone using TOR who's not NSA, is automaticly a criminal of SOME kind, they can just arrest everyone and make them try and prove their innocence, by co-operating somehow with the FBI. They will then use this co-operation as a wedge to keep out dissedents, and create a pool of informants by default, by charging people with crimes they were if only vaugely associated with, with excessive jail times until they give useful informaiton or become informations.
Its also funny that the malware specificlly targets TORBrowser.
I think I called it. When the NSA, CIA, FBI, looses intrest, or no longer needs TOR, they will simply arrest everyone publicly involved with it for pedophilia or whatever other activities go on. They can play stupid to technophile judges, and juries, and know they'll get away with it.
you can enter in your browser your intrests, which is transmitted in an Open format upon requests to web sites. You can whitelist/blacklist sites, and pick who gets to see what prefrences.
The average consumer will buy into this, because they like relivant ads, they like shoping, and they like consumerism.
Those who don't want to use it can just not use it.
So instead of guessing what your into, just have the user fill it out. Then ad companies can target you for what you like, want, and mabey even need. It ads a level of "consent", where they only know about you what you tell them, so you can keep track of it.
Slashdot Mirror
your right. Not only that, they had the smarts to figure out that people wanted tablets and smart phones a decade before everyone else.
The first tablets ran windows 95, and were powered by pentiums.
the first smart phones ran windows CE.
Somewhere around 1999/2000. This is back when a "tablet" was called a "PDA". They gained cell modems and became phones long before android or apple.
Somewhere around 2005, Archos and nokia started selling internet tablets with wifi and linux.
A bunch of stockholders get to sue MS for not making them enough money.
what about the poor slobs that work there?
Do they deserve money?

no, the ceased production because demand dropped to the point they were no longer profitable.

they were going through the death throws, i.e. cutting wages, etc...

agreed. To this day, I've never actually seen a nerd consume a twinkie.
I think it just comes from some gross prerojitave that if someone is fat they must eat twinkies.
Good grief
it worked like that for terrorism, communism, autism, and being unpopular(aka a WITCH)
unless the word "proxy" is....filtered.
for now you can "opt-out"
but not if your at a coffee shop, cafe, library or public network.
the UK is now in the leauge of China, and Iran as far as internet access goes.

just more hipster toys.
3 incidents in 20 years and a incideniary title. Not to mention the common name of the Orca is "killer" whale.
The only question is if they colaberated with the satanic goth kids to do columbine.
Or the communists,
Or the terrorists.
pure rhetoric.

Public Figures do not have the same rights to privacy as everyone else.
If they did, tabloids wouldn't be allowed to exist.
Another example of how the system favours the media industry and is harsh against the computer industry and its workers.
bullshit. Its hardly the 40 hours a week, $25/hour factory workers at GM make.
no, giving a tax break to a specific industry or invidual to a tax they'd otherwise have to pay is a subsidy.
middling?, its not even living wage.
Imagine if this was running Maemo/Meego instead of windows phone.
How good your hardware is doesn't matter if its locked to shitty software.

militarized swat teams is a big part of the problem.
gun politics is a side show, and a distraction.
cops shoot far more innocent people than all the mass murders combined.
oh, well go use adobe shovelware and get back to me on what high quality software exists in the proffesional world.
staring at you flash.
well, yeah, I'll see your fictional movie based off a previous war, and raise you 9 years of real life army service.
Not to say the Army, nor the VA is perfect, or even great, but the level of care is far greater than you'd recieve elsewhere
