Yep so they should go after THEIR employee that THEY HIRED who turned out not to be trustworthy - probably because he wasn't being paid SHIT. You cannot blame "the internet" for doing what the internet is doing - making stuff worldwide once it's out there.
If the pad is destroyed there is no way you can reproduce it - especially not from memory. As for "brute force" torture is not perfect. If it was, authority would keep using it despite all the "moral" issues. Torture is useless when you create a person who fabricates anything to get you to stop. They will confess to everything, and admit everything, which is absolutely useless because you're left with the doubts of your suspicions being confirmed because they're true, or because the person made it up. Back in the old days when you were going to hang the person anyway it didn't really matter. Nowadays there is still at least a sliver of law and due process left and you have the embarrassing task of having to account for the dead body.
Not true. Some encryption simply cannot be broken. However it is a major pain to set up, and you have to trust the parties on either end completely to not copy the pad and to destroy the pad once it has been used. Failing that, however, it cannot be broken.
I would pay money to watch this. I think the current world record stands at 15 minutes before bleeding to death. Oh wait, I was thinking of a different kind of mandolin...
Or not, since the whole thing is BS. Mr. Hawking needs to stick to his field. What kind of transmitter do you think you can fit on there? What kind of camera? What kind of power source? And THEN what quality of data do you think you can pick up when you are moving at 20% of the speed of light? There's no point getting close to stuff because it will be in and out of your field of view for so little time you probably couldn't time any sort of observation. You move through an area of space wider than the diameter of the earth every 0.2 seconds at that speed. Hell you would move from one side to another of the Earth's ORBIT in 80 minutes. And if you want to observe it from far away - well, you need instrumentation for that. Might as well work a bit harder on your instruments and put them in orbit here.
1% C is too hard. The current fastest man made object is the Juno mission that made it to 25 miles per second. Considering that light speed is 186,000 miles per second, we've only ever reached 0.01% of the speed of light.
Just think of ALL THE INFORMATION it will beam back at us with it's 1/10th of a watt transmitter while it breezes through the Proxima system in 16 hours, at that speed.
No, what AC was pointing out was that a mere 100 years ago, people made sweeping statements like "no one in our lifetime will ever fly"
That would have been a silly thing to say 100 years ago considering hot air balloons had already existed for over 100 years and Zeppelins were being used to cross oceans.
Some things are possible. Some are not. People have imagine some giant bearded creature in the sky for thousands of years yet he's not any more real today than he was 6000 years ago.
Habitable temperature range != habitable planet. While nerds at NASA may be constantly arguing about the air conditioner thermostat setting, there are other quite important factors necessary to sustain life. Like oxygen in the atmosphere (there is none) and the lack of poisonous, corrosive chemicals like sulfuric acid
Ever since they let anyone with a "gold" credit card get into airport lounges there's not much difference between that and the regular waiting area. Now they need to make a real first class lounge for people who actually have first class tickets.
The grand juries seem to disagree. How many of these cops have been convicted of manslaughter/murder? I think the unacceptable use of lethal force argument fails the test.

You're right. In fact, the same message can be broken an "infinite" number of ways...

Just like he's not required to speak to you. He can just take all your stuff and nod to the cops to slap the handcuffs on you.
Border being any coastline or international airport, too. So pretty much everywhere in the US is fucked if they feel like playing games.
Brute force will break any encryption.

That's what happens when you make fun of the Jedi.
come out and play Vivaldi's mandolin concierto.

Equal, since neither he nor I are engineers. And since I have my own doctorate hanging on my wall, I certainly don't have to prove anything to YOU.

Diminishing returns kid. When you get older and the stars fade a little, you'll realize the bit about diminishing returns...

Oh wait you're using a MAGICAL fuel source and engine. Well, that's called CHEATING.
Don't you realize that anti-matter is simply a theory?
That's good. Gravity is only a theory. Evolution is only a theory. God, on the other hand, is not even a theory.

Weasel word "may". Venus also may not represent a near Earth example...

Tor doesn't need back doors when the FBI runs all the exit nodes.
took advantage of an SQL injection vulnerability
I'm glad to see hackers are having to constantly refine their skills and take advantage of the newest exploits in order to bypass security nowadays.
Seriously, those who run DOTA2 should be shot. There is no excuse whatsoever for this type of hack. Parse your fucking inputs.

When he reaches for a gun, yeah.
No, real privacy is so private you will never hear about it.
