  1. Re:Speed of sound versus ping times on Holographic Sonar Cryptography · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I think the speed of sound in the water has small variations due to pressure & temperature shifts. And error checking & correcting would be difficult, as these variations would make the message unhearable.

    To me, it seems as hazardous underwater as on the Internet.

  2. Re:Hydrogen (still offtopic) on Hydrogen-based Rotary Engine? · · Score: 1

    In the Zeppelin, hydrogen was used for sustentation, because this gas is lighter than air. I think propulsion was from "classical" (it was the 1930's) combustion engines.

  3. French smart cards have already been cracked on What About "Smart" Credit Cards? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Serge Humpich, a french engineer, broke into these cards last year. When he contacted "GIE Cartes Bancaires" (french banks association in charge of these cards) to inform them of the security breach, their only answer was a lawsuit... Doesn't this remind you of something ?
