Kind-of, I'm sure you meant to say it, but you still have characteristics in your microphone, a2d converter and the noise source which will lead toward patterns in the numbers, so you still have to do some mathematical trickery to analyze the ways in which your source is random and then exploit those random aspects and nothing else.

What size of a sphere? How thick is each layer? How powerful should the explosives be? how do you shape the charges? How pure do the explosives need to be in order to behave predictably? How does temperature affect them? How do you time the explosives to the triggering of the gun? How do you time the explosives so they detonate simultaneously? How does the gun work? rails? powder? Will that affect the shaped charges?
If anything is wrong, you have a very expensive dirty bomb, and you can't exactly test the thing, so you can't really know if it's as easy as you say it is.

For all those who've had major surgery, wear adult diapers, colostomy bags, have stomas, preoperative transexuals, hemaphrodites and other private matters of which they may not want their travelling companions or the minumum wage "security" guard at the airport to know about, I can see some good reason to be concerned about their privacy.

Some day the cinemas will hose themselves down with robot arms between showings and have subway-like turnstiles with bill-readers at the cinema door. Films will load digitally from a satellite feed. Then you can just have a security company watch the place with a camera and call the police if somebody vandalizes something, starts a fight, gets lewd or whips out a camcorder.
Now if they can find a way to avoid contracting out the construction to local businesses, it would have absolutely no bennefit to the local economy.
I was exaggerating half-truths, but you're doing the same.
Yes the vertical monopoly is not complete, but there is a reason that small movie houses can't do first-run films. And there's a reason why one big chain cinema will not run the same films as another big chain cinema.
$3.99? That's a half-truth. It's "cheap" but not that cheap. Tickets and snacks for two can easily run $40-$50 CDN. Small live theatre, music performances or sports games run about the same and real people are doing real things in real time.
Intellectual property rights are necessary, but they have been extended unreasonably. I think that's clear to anyone.
Yeah, there's nothing terribly wrong with George Lucas, he's screwing the little guy, but he's just a cog in the wheel of a system that even he's powerless to change. That was a half-truth.
Mass produced media has all but killed small theatres and live entertainment. Even the local jobs from Cinemas are near-minimum wage mcjobs, and even those are being replaced by machines. The Cinema operations are franchised so as to lock in who can operate the enterprise and how they operate it, and the distribution of film quality is even monitored to keep cinemas on their toes.
It's a vertical monopoly where studios own the cinemas and the distribution. Worse, the studios and cinemas collude to ensure minimum competition and maximum revenue from their films.
Blockbuster cinema houses starve out independent cinema houses, then for the mostpart refuse to air local content which might not fill the seats. It's a rape of our culture and funnels money out of the local economy and right into Hollywood.
The revenues are used to empower legal teams to change copyright legislation so as to artificially protect their intellectual property. The rights which copyright gave them to make their bililons of dollars is just not enough for them.
In a world of six billion people, we should see more films and creative content than ever in the history of the earth, but for some reason, all we care about is the production of a few films from these big corporations.
In other words, George Lucas is a role model for Americans to screw the little guy.
Oddly, the mammy character is probably the most sane character in those cartoons. I'm not sure why they voiced her over. Children might wonder why a cat and a mouse would be living in a household with a black lady?
But then again, when I was little, I didn't think that Bert and Ernie had to explain their living arrangement.
I agree about the tech though. It seems like you could take advantage of the < 24 fps of the cell movements and the redundancy of the 24fps of the projector and use the redundant film to correct the damaged frames.
I'm pretty sure none of these animations are animated at 24 cells per second.
Depends on the part of Asia. India does a lot of vegetarian stuff. Falaffel, samosas, various curries.
English doesn't have a word for meat that isn't fish. It makes some foriegn diets sound like washed out vegetarian clones, but really they're only "vegetarian" because the English language doesn't have a better word for it.
Not that I'm vegetarian... not that there's anything wrong with that.

I started programming when I was 13. But I stopped, because no one would hire me without a "certificate"
Have you ever seen code written by a 13 year old working by themselves? It looks awfully similar to code written by anyone who has no formal training or team work experience. The 13 year old is also always trying to prove how good they are at coding... it's a pain to deal with kids like that.

Entertaining reviews, but I'm not so sure about intelligent. They could have been written years ago.
Lucas had so much to work with, but his mind is feeble. There was room for a fantastic twist in the films which could leave doubt in people's minds about the empire.... the empire growing out of necessity to obliterate a corrupt senate. Anakin on a quest to put a stop to the corruption which led to his and his mother's enslavement when he was a child. Make the original three films suddenly look like a fools errand to free the universe of an orderly, albeit ruthless dictatorship... and open the way for the last three films when the empire weakens under the loss of Vader and struggles against their numerous enemies, finally ending when the Jedi are revealed for the brainwashing cult of religious anarchists that they are, forced to accept that the dark side saved the universe from a dark age of corruption.
I think I'll try to recut the films, AoTC would splice nicely with the Lord of the Rings, count Dooku and all so as to allow me to introduce some new footage. I just need some voice actors:-)
That's not my point. What irritates me about Freenet is that when you set up a node, megabytes of data go flying in and out of yournetwork, while you try desparately to recieve kilobytes of stuff from Frost or whatever.
If you leave your machine on all day, you just send absurd amounts of traffic around distributing all kinds of smut while the system isn't responsive enough to do anything other than distribute enormous illegal files.
Using a tool called FUQID, which queues Freenet file requests, one could easily run a list of forbidden CHKs against a disk image. If the number/size of whole files containing naughty stuff is significantly higher than predicted by your node's uptime, you are in trouble.
...you disconnect your machine from the network and take a list of Content Hash Keys for illegal content and see if the node produces them from the cache.
Why hash keys and encrypt data when a node operator could identify them (the data) anyway if he tried?
Hashing the key and encrypting the data is not meant a method to keep Freenet Node operators from being able to figure out what type of information is in their nodes if they really want to (after all, they can just find the key in the same way as someone who requests the information would) but rather to keep operators from having to know what information is in their nodes if they don't want to. This distinction is more a legal one than a technical one. It is not realistic to expect a node operator to try to continually collect and/ or guess possible keys and then check them against the information in his node (even if such an attack is viable from a security perspective), so a sane society is less likely to hold an operator liable for such information on the network.
It shouldn't be hard to create a system which would be impractical for distribution of large amounts of data. Including some algorithm to restrict uploads and downloads between peers to a certain number of chunks per hour would make large files nearly impossible to distribute. It might also speed things up for important dense communications, like text.
It should cut warez, porn and other stuff down to nearly nothing... and hey, I'd run a node.

By the article, you can't actually see what's been downloaded, but if your local fascist government wants to determine if you downloaded file XX, they could try downloading that file from your node. If the performance is very good, then there's a good probability that the encrypted chunks are cached locally and in neighbour nodes, thus they can determine that you did download it.

/dev/random is pretty slow, if exhausted, would it just spew data more slowly?
