Except, of course, that this only protects against eavesdropping, not against a true man-in-the-middle attack.
If the quantum data stream (or any data stream, ever) is received by the man-in-the-middle, then a new data stream is transmitted to the original destination, there is still vulnerability. You only get link security, not end-to-end security.
There's a *lot* you can do with that to make communication more secure, but it's not omnipotent. In particular, it's vulnerable to the insider with unlimited access to the communications infrastructure, which is -- humorously enough -- where it's being marketed to. For long range military applications I'd say it's pretty darn good (hard to intercept satellite communications without being detected) but it's still not perfect.
Red and black ants for 1s and 0s? You had it sooooo easy! When I was you age we didn't HAVE 0s! Binary? Binary's for wimps! We had Is, Vs, and Xs, and WE LIKED IT!
I'm not sure I agree with this, BTW. It's true about where noobie programmers are attracted these days, but *relative to the learning curve* just as large a % is bad at C++.
The difference is: poorly written Java is amazingly slow, while poorly written C++ is fats but leaks resources like crazy.
How do you imagine that a payload travelling up a space elevator will acquire angular momentum? Let say that your space elevator is 12 times as "tall" as the radius of the Earth (12R). Let's say the Earth rotates at 1000MPH at the equator. If you just lift a payload to 12R it will need to "orbit" at 12000MPH. Where is the 11000MPH of lateral accelleration coming from? Hmmm? You're gonna push on it with a pendulum?
Space elevators only address the issue of adding energy radially, ignoring the huge quantity of energy that would need to be added laterally. You space elevator zealots are just nuts.
I couldn't give a flying fuck about DNS, but, dude, you *are* an emotional nutcase. It is not a world crisis when someone likes a different tool better - your emotional zealotry simply proves you're too stupid to learn other tools: they scare you.
Given that you blandly accept the misuse of 'piracy' in your attack on 'stealing', you should accept that the word 'stealing' has just evolved. Get over it.
You have just argued that war against Hitler was a mistake, we should never have supported Britain with the Lend-Lease program and should have ignored the European theater as we weren't being threatened directly.
How's an honest troll s'posed to earn a days' billygoats when the mods are marking legitimate posts TROLL? Stop diluting our message, and get off the $3 crack, you damn hippy moderators!
Corn is probably the most heavily modified "natural" food. You wouldn't recognize its wild ancestor: "cobs" less than half an inch long with kernels encased in rock hard shells (like tiny popcorn, actually). Corn was modified by centuries of deleberate human action from a wheat-like plant to modern varieties such as sweet corn, and popcorn.
Did you know that cabbage, Brussel's Sprouts, brocolli, and cauliflower all have the same wild ancestor?
Maybe one of those space-elevator fnatics could explain somthing: where does the lateral acceleration come from??? To lift a payload to geosynchronous orbit, it will need a buttload of angular momentum added (same period of rotation about the Earth, much larger radius. How do you keep the elevator from swinging like the giant pendulum it is when angular momentum is conserved?
Sending an equal mass down at the same time would keep the elevator from wrapping around the Earth, but wouldn't prevent it from swinging - it would be likely to make it worse - and anyway where would that mass come from?
You should have pointed out the "alot" mistake then.:) It's some sort of natural law of the internat that any grammar/spelling flame must contain a grammar spelling error, after all.

because higher resolutions cost exponentially more to make at that size.
You come off pretty high and mighty for someone who doesn't know what the word exponentially means. Will you be utilizing your multimedia impactfully next?
xerography was invented by a single company, which changed its name to Xerox in recognition of the importance of their new product. Xerox owns the tradmark on its name, and has for decades sued anyone who used xerox as a generic term for copy in advertising.
Xerox has been fighting a long and losing battle to retain the trademark on their own company name as a result of the popularity of the xerographic process.
They regularly sue anyone who uses "xerox" to mean "copy" in any advertisement, and even had a substantial advertizing campaign about a decade ago in print industry rags remind people that only Xerox machines can make a xerox.

Actual piracy involves murdering people at sea.

How's that again?
Lots of things look good on paper. This is why programs are tested before release (except by MS).
Let some country prove that a different system is better for 50 or 100 years, then switch.
Keep tryin, these are pretty damn good! You'll get a bite soon I think.

Yup, I'd never convict em either.

There was an episode of Southpark involving Underpants Gnomes. They at some point explained their business plan to the kids:
1) Steal Underpants
2) ?
3) PROFIT!!!
This aired about when the dot-com bubble burst.
Your friendly neighborhood troll.
Good Point!!!!!!!ONE!!
LOL, modded up! Awesome! Where's News for Turds when you need him?

Truely, this thread warms my heart. I haven't been so happy since I found a new bridge!

virii is not a word.
The plural of 'virus' is 'Outlook'.
So it not the junkfood, it's the junkie food? Whatever.

It really does work that way.
