    Are you confirming shipment of the book (along with a couple of other volumes) to Delft University of Technology in your care? I found it odd that even an undergraduate at such an institution would not already have access to such material, but perhaps all university copies are already on loan to other students. As an aside, you appear to be lacking the capacity to distinguish emphasis borne of extreme frustration from certain pathological afflictions. You should work on that.

    You're clearly a fan of "get one key, get 'em all." Who signs your paychecks these days?

    Dude, msauve's proposed methodology is indeed tragically flawed, and you clearly haven't read the balance of the posts in this thread. Why are you so resistant to refutation of bad crypto advice? Are you positioned to benefit from deterministic systems which are advertised as cryptographically sound?

    You clearly have no idea whatsoever what a one-time pad is. Reference my other comments in this thread for additional hints as to why msauve's error is particularly egregious in this context. Alternately, stay ignorant. Your choice.

  5. Re:Anti-Competitive on Google Building a Domain Registration Service · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'm sincerely apprehensive about potential outcomes associated with Google becoming a domain registrar, but I'm accepting reversal of the mod points I've expended thus far on this story to strenuously object to to the thoughtcrime-based insinuation made in the following excerpt:

    There is no way to prove that Google won't give priority indexing to domains it registers.

    This is the logical equivalent to a forward-looking conviction on the same premises as Glenn Beck Raped and Murdered a Young Girl in 1990.

    Completely absent additional information, I'll give you another hint on why deterministic assignment is a very bad choice here, representing a practice in total opposition to OTP: curve fitting. Is this starting to make a little more sense now?

    You must want relevant books shipped to you as well. Unfortunately, you're a pile of shit AC, so you won't get anything for your troubles.

    Thank you. I'll dispatch the shipment in a few hours in the care of "ultranova", provided I get a response back under that user account indicating confirmation of the destination address. I'll provide a post tracking reference here once the shipment is confirmed to be in transit.

    Somehow, I don't think you'll take me up on my offer. To do so would be tantamount of an admission of ignorance on your part. I really don't think you have the nuts for it. All the same, I replied to your linked post.

    You're still completely wrong. I'm willing to spend my own money to ship you hardcopy references that will help you better yourself, in the hope that you will stop dispensing the sort of horrid advice you're continuing to regurgitate here. Why aren't you willing to take me up on this offer? Are you unable to provide a shipping address of any sort?

    To be clear, advice similar to the sort you administered in the post I originally replied to is an apt explanation for why we have the number of massive failures in cryptographic functionality in software these days. You have absolutely no business even beginning to comment on this subject. May I please ship you a few hardcopy references?

    The War on Drugs is a massively successful enterprise if your definition of success is the ability to extract billions of USD worth of funding from taxpayers, with a disproportionate amount of said funding going to the overt militarization of police forces in the USA at the expense of civil liberties and human rights. However, if your indicators of success are tied to social, medical, or economic improvement for the citizens of the United States of America, the entire affair is indeed a massive failure.

    For reference, this is coming from someone who consumes nothing more than nicotine (vaping these days, gave up cigarettes after 20 years) and whiskey, and once wore an actual military uniform for a living.

    Anonymising the data just requires replacing each key with something unrecognisable.

    With this remark, you also fail at crypto and information theory in the context of this discussion. No, the GP's suggestion does not pass the smell test. Why did you bother commenting?

    You should probably resign tomorrow on grounds of not understanding the legal statutes you're subject to. Perhaps you should have consulted an attorney. I'm sure the taxpayers supporting your salary would be dismayed to learn you don't understand your own job requirements.
