  1. Re:provably unbreakable? on Professor Describes Unbreakable Cryptosystem? · · Score: 1

    Siqall is right. Current mathmatics may not hold true when the demensions wrapped around each other at a singularity.

  2. Does this work? on Professor Describes Unbreakable Cryptosystem? · · Score: 1

    If the pad is generated on the fly, it must use computer entropy, which is not truely random. Use a bad source and it is breakable, though not in a timeframe that matters

  3. Re:Is it possible to on Draconian Censorship Push In South Australia · · Score: 1

    yeah. There is one other point if forgot. I believe that ip6 addresses will have some location specific number tagged on the end, but im not sure about this

  4. Re:Is it possible to on Draconian Censorship Push In South Australia · · Score: 1

    Technically yes. Several companies have devised ways of determining the location of consumers to city sized locations basically through a traceroute, and by looking at the ip address. (i.e when a company buys a block, they generally operate in a local area, so these two methods combined are generally effective)

  5. Re:I have an idea regarding Microsatellites. on Slashback: Unenforceability, Conflagration, Cans · · Score: 1

    Sending data to the satellite is also damn difficult. A grassblade size sat would need super accurate gyroscopes, to send data to earth, and given its tiny size, targeting and controling it would be damn near impossible

    actually dumbass, yahoo runs googles search engine

  7. Re:OffTopic on Fox Moon Special Response · · Score: 1
    listen to me bitch . You stated that sqrt4 refers only to the positive root 2. Face the facts. You fucked up and failed. Don't expect to justify it.

    x^2 = 4 the solution is written as x = ± sqrt(4) = ± 2

    Your didn't mention this in your original post. Get of your high horse dumbfuck and admit your wrong u arogant american shit

  8. Re:We're just wrong... on Fishermen Net Giant Squid Off Tasmania · · Score: 1

    The reason nobody nets giant squid is becuase they live at exheedingly deep levels, where there is no point in setting nets. They ain't hyper intelligent, just rare (a carenvore that big needs a large radius to support) and live deep in trecherous seas

  9. Re:OffTopic on Fox Moon Special Response · · Score: 1

    sorry bro
    When you take the square root of something, it's "defined" to be the positive root of it. Thus, sqrt(4) = 2, not +-2. If you want to include the negative root, you'd write +- sqrt(4). You are very very wrong. the sqrt of 4 is +-2. And you can't write +-sprt(4). Don't know how you americans do math, but ive never seen the square root of a negative number. Take any math paper and try saying that x^2=4 therefore x=2. WRONG!!!

  10. Re:What a load of cr@p on Web Standards Project: Upgrade, Or Miss Out · · Score: 1

    The reason X loads so quickly, but netscape doenst is that when x boots it doesn load netscapes librarys The xtra time win2k is taking is used to load ie, so when u open it it goes xtra quick

    If you want cool shoes, not made in a sweatshop (actually in the good old US of A) buy Oakley.

  12. Re:Hard to See on Innovations in Space Launch Systems · · Score: 1

    there was no increase because they were already devoting 15-20% GDP to defence. To increase this would mean economic collapse

  16. Re:money money money on Google Acquires Deja · · Score: 1

    Google.com doesn't generate any income, but it is a vechicle for their search engine technology, which is one of the best on the net. When i worked at lycos, they would just kill to get their hands on an engine like google;s. Essentially they do the same job as inktomi, but better

  17. Re:Launch Costs on Launch Your Own Picosatellite · · Score: 1

    incredibly cheaper. if i remember rightly it takes 6 times the fuel to get to a high stable geo orbit than a cheap LEO orbit

  18. Re:Another Skylab? on Launch Your Own Picosatellite · · Score: 1

    There is a big difference. The skylab was big, therefore some of it was able to survive reentry. These little sats would just make some cool looking meteor shower type effects

    be aware that this is for the japanese market.
    Cuteness here sells- whether or not it works or not is irrelevant. A small cute colourful pc will be extremely popular

  21. Productivity on Saint Song Releases "Linux-Compatible" Mini PC · · Score: 1

    ok looks cool, but the bottom line is - can u get anything useful done on it. With 810 chipset, battery life is to small to use it as a notebook/pocketpc, and it looks pretty bulky. Better off with a vaio
