  1. Re:The "Dot" on Flash Version of Adventure · · Score: 1

    I know this is going to be incredibly nit-picky, but it is actually (originally) referred to as the "Transmolecular Dot"

  2. 128-bit Tetris encryption on Tetris Is Hard: NP-Hard · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now that we know it's NP hard, lets see if anyone can come up with a Tetris-based encryption scheme. Lets see, with just one shape (7 tetrominoes with rotations) there are 19 possibilities, so that's at least 4 bits of entropy right there.
    This could make the Bovine distributed cracking clients a lot more fun to watch.

  3. Re:C64 commercial music on Classic Console TV Ads · · Score: 1

    It's Bach's two part invention #13.

    Try going to http://www.classicalarchives.com/bach.html
    and try out "No.13 in A-, BWV784"

  4. FSB on Russian Agency Charges FBI Agent With Hacking · · Score: 1
    For those who wish to understand this issue in the context of the FSB's charter, check out the FAS index

    For the truly adventurous, here's the FSB's home page

  5. Re:Versions of Go on NYT Story On Go Programs And AI · · Score: 1

    Round Go is an interesting variant. No corners to fight over, and four liberties on every point. Print out the PDF board available here.

  6. Re:Weapon? O'course, but against tiny foes. on Spy Fly · · Score: 1

    Even though funded by DARPA, I wouldn't expect weaponization given LBNL's position on classified weapon research. Unless, of course, we someday read about a new partnership with LLNL, LANL, or PNNL...

  7. Re:Applied Cryptography on Best Computer Books For The Smart · · Score: 1
    I have *A LOT* of cryptography book recommendations ( http://www.youdzone.com/cryptobooks.html ). 21 of the books featured here have online erratas, and 4 of the books are free to download in their entirety.

    But as for my top picks, see this list of seven: http://www.youdzone.com/cryptobooks_TopPicks.html

  8. Re:Let's pollut it first... on Planning For The Colonization Of Mars · · Score: 1

    The folks at the Smithsonian (Air and Space Museum) which I visited two days ago, have a display which basically questioned our right to even touch Mars after the mess we've made of Earth. The whole place was like that, mixing the wonders of science and achievement with the typical post-modernistic-values-confusion thing.
