I can totally see them screwing this up. Even college professors screw up from time to time. Besides, the main problems are the two that others pointed out: No one will buy it / client side security always fails.
They might screw up, but it's not going to be something fundamental as less powerful with shorter but multiple keys. I'm pretty sure they learned concepts like that very very early in their PHD program.
what amuses me though is all these/.ers who think they outsmarted the profs. One smart guy said "and not even a white paper? not a good sign."
LOL. It's not like it's some guy living under a basement.

I love slashdotters - to think that people like you probably think you outsmarted 3 Brown math professors on cryptography. I'm very sure those professors are yelling "doh!" at each other now, after spending 6 years on this, then reading these numerous "insightful" post on how the security is compromised by using different keys.
point in fact - you read the MEDIA PIECE, not the original white paper. Just because you read how it's using different keys for each second, you jump to your trolling conclusion that security is compromised. Clue in to the fact someone like you isn't going to outsmart three Brown professors in that post that took you five minutes to post.

BSD question. I know that FreeBSD is meant to be optimized for x86, and OpenBSD is built for security, and NetBSD is meant for cross-platform, but does NetBSD provides a lacking set of tools and features compared to FreeBSD?
What about software? How much free software is supported out of the box for NetBSD?

I do. Athlons are eating them up in the high performance desktop market (they better hope that the dual-Athlon chipset from AMD takes forever), and while Transmeta is nipping at their heels at the notebook market.
Which is good of course. Maybe Intel might stop being so sluggish all these years. It's amazing to think that they have spent so many years getting away with regurgitating the pentium pro core, without any solid competition.

Stability, speed, and reliability are the known high points of Linux, and the main reasons why I prefer it to Windows. I thought I was being sarcastic enough by giving Windows these attributes, but I guess not:)
My post was meant to be a tongue-in-cheek parody of the parent post, who complained about the lack of KDE posts. Frankly,/. is not a equal opportunities news site, and they have always posted what "they" think are interesting or "Stuff that matters." I don't find it wrong if/. has a slant towards Gnome. Everyone has a bias. Hence my mockery of the parent post requesting "more Microsoft news". I was going to add a bit about/. not posting about Gate's daughter's new toy (which would probably lead to more people getting my post, I guess), but I thought my comment about "Slashdot better start posting more news that I want to see" would be strong enough.
Anyways, apologies for that little flame session. If I were to flat out state that it was satire in my first reply, instead of being too flame-happy, none of this would have dragged on.

Some people might wonder what I mean when I want to see news that I want to see. I suggest that/. have new fields in their preferences page that asks us for "Your favorite OS", "Your favorite software company", "Most hated company", "Your favorite celebrity", and etc., so we can see some good customization when we load up the front page:
[OS] is the most preferred OS among cats and dogs
[Software company] stocks splits 2000 to 1 - and you get 50000 shares!
You are absolutely (if (male) "handsome"; else "beautiful")

Oh, don't get me started. Slashdot has a even bigger bias against Microsoft and their entire line of Windows products. Don't get me wrong, I think Linux is "okay", but in terms of stability, speed, reliability, I think Microsoft products wins hands down. Sure, they won't open up the code, but the Linux zealots will pick on anything they can on Microsoft, because Sir Bill Gates just has so much much more money, and can afford to buy many many computers. I just don't see/.'s bias.
Slashdot better start posting more news that I want to see.

Uh, no, FTC is now trying to improve user privacy on the Web. Your prophesized comments from "everyone and their mother" is usually from a news topic where the government did something stupid (that hinders privacy).

I certainly don't mind the style being different, but I don't see the point of having a sequel if even the personality of the orginal star seems to be a different person. People watch sequels expecting to see a movie with elements they enjoyed in the original movie.
If the next Star Wars has Samuel Jackson trying on facial expressions of the Ace Ventura, I bet it wouldn't be a good reception...

Another thing that made no sense (or someone please explain to me):
From what I can gather, he (the bad guy) wanted stock options in the biochem company, and when the outbreak is supposed to occur in the busiest streets of Sydney, the biochem company will go rich by supplying the cure.
however, was the "outbreak" supposed to occur because of the girl, who was told to be dropped off in a crowded place in Sydney, or or some other fashion? Clearly the virus is not airborne, and not contagious (everyone in contact with the girl, including Tom Cruise, would surely be dead, and they never hit themselves with the vaccine), so did they plan to run around with syringes injecting people with Chimera, or spray Chimera'ed blood at people?

You forgot to talk about the potato-powered server, which many people seemed to thought it was true.

Spoiler ahead: Everything that made Mission Impossible 1 really good simply isn't the focus anymore in MI2. While MI1 everything was about high-tech geek tools, infiltration, walking past guards, and stealth, MI2 was about big explosions, a LOT of Tekken-style fighting, a lot of guns. The tech gadgets used in MI2 are the same from MI1, and overused for the entire movie (How many times do we need to see someone use a fake mask?)
Overall, I am disappointed that John Woo decided to direct this movie, because even "Ethan Hunt" isn't the same "Ethan Hunt" anymore. Shame shame. Go see Gladiator instead.

The body governing British trademarks has already granted exclusive rights over two smells - the whiff of beer on dart flights and the scent of roses on tyres.
I remember back then listening to Howard Stern's show, and he would always mention how Pam Anderson taking a dump probably smell like roses. Is it possible that this exclusive right is just made for Pam Anderon's car? (tires smelling like shit just makes much more sense than roses)
