Technically speaking, even in good cryptography, there is obscurity. The private key is an obscure piece of information that only one person/system should know.
This piece of obscure information is required, but once it is known, everything is out in the open. The reference is therefore about how the algorithm uses this obscure piece of information. That is what needs to be open.
By your definition it would be impossible to steal a trade secret. The very nature of
That in itself just doesn't make sense.
There needs to be a very fundamentally different view on how theft is perceived in cases where the information itself was never to be publicly released. This is not copyright, as nobody but the author was supposed to have a copy.
It takes 21 years from birth before a child is recognized as an adult. (Can drink alcohol legally) At this point your creative work, a child, is capable and expected to make any choice, and if you benefit from a relationship with them, it is at their discretion.
I would argue that any work that is older than the time it takes for a child to reach adulthood, should be in public domain, because the creator has had enough time to benefit from it, at least as much as a parent has had time with a child.
So that copyright period of 21 years although possibly not optimal for the full greater good, is still at least reasonable. What has been around since before you were born, when you become an adult, is now your public domain birthright.
With a physical key, you don't run out of batteries. IPhones will not be attached to your key chain like the current remote open/start devices.
People will begin to regularly forget their keys if they rely on this, and all of the sudden, how much charge you have left on your phone could dictate your ability to gain access to your vehicle.
That, and just imagine trying to punch in a pin while being chased by Zombies. Fumbling for keys was bad enough.
"Episode One (in particular) was a kids movie"
Every one keeps parroting this, simply because Episode one just made no sense, so the only possible audience it would appeal to is children who can't really follow plot anyway, or don't actually care as long as the eye candy was good.
Tell me if it is such a kids movie, what the heck was a trade embargo, attempt to "negotiate" same trade embargo, the senate appeal, chancellor meeting room discussions, assassination attempt and the oh so ham handed midi-chlorians crap all about?
Kids just love politics don't they? Well don' they?
It was a train wreck, plain and simple.
Thumb drive.
Why not just use true crypt and keep every single file you think is critical on that thumb drive. You can even default set your MyDocuments and force the drive type to a specific drive letter, so its transparent when you boot.
Bonus points because if your laptop is stolen, odds are you still have the drive in your pocket or wallet. Don't think you can cram a thumb drive in your fat wallet. Try this one on for size. http://shopping.trustedreviews.com/UK/product/88435015/Crucial_8GB_Gizmo_Jr/
Or they are waiting to give God a chance to preform a miracle.
There are all kinds of last minute rescue stories in the Bible. Jonah and the whale, the parting of the Red Sea, even the bringing back from death of Lazarus.
Who but those without faith would assume that it's a lack of faith that motivates them?
The way I see it, they just gave this software, license free.
That means no copyright, no protection of their supposed intellectual property associated with it. Basically if the code can be reverse engineered, viewed, uncompiled, or whatever it should be just fine and dandy for anyone to make and publish whatever they will with it.
This should also include any software that they own that is required to run this little present.
Its probably useless code anyway, but if companies that released stuff like this risked loosing rights to everything attached to the 'gifted' software in question this practice would stop.
Gaming AI.
Word on the street is that Left 4 Dead is trying this sort of thing in its game design. (See "The Director")
A game that knows when to turn up the pressure, and then relieve it, would be incredibly fun if done correctly.
To force change it would be pretty simple actually. Just invalidate and release all patents held by the company, and release all code and content from copyright into the public domain. Allow open reverse engineering, and invalidate all licenses, EULA's, and OEM agreements by all purchasers and distributors of their products.
The simple fact is that the government permits company's to hold both patents and copyrights, and all license and contract agreements are sanctioned by the government.
Pull the legal rug out from under them by removing those permissions they use to hold everyone hostage. That would force them to change.
There is a third reason for prison that you missed. To protect other society members from the predation of criminals.
Why is it the only thing that should matter to the public, that they are safe and secure from people known to commit crimes, is not weighed in on this issue? What is fundamentally wrong with the idea that the best thing for society is the maximum protection possible for citizens from criminal activity?
I believe this is a problem with many legal systems. Bleeding heart calls for lenient sentences and rehabilitation, when what should be the goal is discovering "will this happen to innocent people again". Real methods for discovering if these people have changed need to be discovered, or for the sake of all decent citizens, criminals should be locked up indefinitely, until it can be determined that they are no longer a threat to other people.
By releasing criminals back into society, knowing full well they are likely to commit the same or worse crime in the future, is negligent at best and evil at worst.
In its most horrific form, "will he kill again" when carried out takes everything somebody has, and everything they are going to have from someone who did not deserve to die. Theft, robbery, etc, also force the innocent to go through traumatic events and loss all in the cause of giving a criminal "another chance". Sorry, but if its my daughter getting raped, I don't give a rats ass about how many chances this criminal "deserves". Every one of those chances represents a new victim, new pain, new trauma, for a completely innocent person.
To bring this back on topic, the answer to the "will he do it again" question for this spammer is a YES!. This guy is obviously not interested in following the law, as demonstrated by his behavior after arrest and having restrictions put on his activities. He deserves to be locked up until we KNOW he will not do it again. Why should he be let out if the first thing he will do is break the law again, adding more victims, and ultimately cost to society.
Keep him safe, fed, and warm, because that is the humane thing to do, but don't let him continue to victimize people. Thats just cruel to the innocent.

"The indictment said that in less than a week..."
So how much spam did he send in a year? Billions very likely.
Now this set of charges is only about the activity during that specific week, however take into account just how many years of others peoples lives he has taken, 30 seconds at a time.
11 years doesn't even come close even Steven payback.
This was however only after a bullet shot from a 30-06 riffle. This does not demonstrate what would happen to a tank if it was ruptured in a collision of significant force, where the breach was not as "controlled" as the nice round hole caused by a bullet. Say something like this...
Besides, a large enough tank to hold the necessary pressure flying "around like a rocket", would probably be more unsafe, and less localized to the accident scene that a mere explosion.

Ok, second time I've had to do this; but, clearly the articles are pooorly written and do not describe the technology well, if at all.
Clearly you are making the false assumption that people are even reading the pooorly written articles.
To see this principle in action, watch the American Idol tryouts.
I personally experienced a true miracle.
I was healed in a week of a broken collar bone after a youth group prayed over me. That event has carried me through many a tough time.
You can't put it in a lab, and you can't force the experiment on God, but the proof is there if your willing to look at it.
Sorry about you loss, and God Bless
